Fresno 6, Portland q

If there was anything in the baseball
line that didn't happen along about the
eighth inning of yesterdays game be-
tween Portland and Fresno the blase
individual who could cite more strenu-
GUS proceedings has failed to make
noise. The main feature was that
Fresno annexed three runs and copped
the game by score of Ga
Probably because the day was Sun
day and the crowd more than usually
large Mike Fisher implored his braves
to go forth and win II every man on
the team had to pay a S1O0 fine In the
end. Yes, Mike spoke for the first time
in two days, or at least he was seen
to lean toward Happy Hogan with
face movement that appeared sus-
piciously like a whisper contortion.
At all events the raisin belt men an
nexed the only game of the series,
after the Mudders had secured lead
in the fifth inning which appeared to
leave the Fresnoites hopelessly to the
rear.
McGregor Effective
McGregor was out on the hill for
Fisher, and with the exception of the
fifth Portland was much to the bad
on the run-getting proposition. Three
hits, combined with two miserable err
rors, was productive of the quartet
which assembled during the bad round
Gum was effective in the early in
nings, but Fresno found batting eye
toward the close and ran up total
of eleven safeties. One scene OF a skit
entitled "The Easiest Way to Lose"
in the fourth inning was responsible
for the first two runs of the game,
which were scored by Fresno. Wild
throws abounded, and when the pair
of tallies had been counted one measly
safe bunt was the only semblan of

A half-started furore which greeted
Sweeney's sensa tional stop of Doyles
grounder toward second at the open
ing of the fourth, died away as the
throw whizzed over Listers head
at first while Doyle romped to second.
wolters tripped up next, and laid
down bunt which landed him safely
at first, Doyle reaching third. Casey
popped very high one to Mr.. Gum.
There was excitement when Wolters
stole second. and Doyle narrowly
escaped being caught off third by a
quick throw of Donohue.
"Truck" Eagan, he of the home run
biceps, rumbled along, acclaimed by
the gathering, which begged him to
bury the sphere amid the folds of Old
Glory floating out over the left field
fence.
Fun Goes On
The best Truck" could do sufficed.
He slammed one to Moore, who was
in such an awful hurry to throw
Doyle out at the plate that he caused
McCreedie to chase around in right
field after the escaped horsehide. In
the meantime Wolters was tearing his
head off in a wild Wush for home from
second. Macs throw was a pretty one,
straight as an arrow, and arrived but
a shadows thickness too late. 'tTruck"
decided that as the running business
was in order he might as well keep
trotting and had small difficulty III
drawing up at second when Donohue's
effort went careening on to center
field. Mclaughlin and Delmas ended
the seance by flying out.
1t was in the fifth that Portland took
the lead. Moore popped high one to
Wolters in right field which the fast
garden man dropped. Donohue shot a
beautiful single to left that Lister fol-
lowed with a safety to right Gum
was up with three on bases and his
attempt to sacrifice went straight to-
ward McGregor, who tossed the sphere
into Hogan's glove, only to watch

Hale was out, Eagan to Cartwright
Sweeney atoned for his nefarious
throw in the fourth by lining out a
double to the center field fence. which

ters shot a nice single to right and
Lister obligingly dropped Donohue's
assist of Casey's attempted sacrifice.
Eagan was safe, as Lister again
dropped the sphere, though "Truck"
probably had the ball beaten out. Nc
Laughlin threw water on the encour-
aging outlook by sending an easy one
to Sweeney. which flew back in time
to get Wolters at the plate. But the
end was not yet. Delmas hit to Moore
at second who could not return the
ball. Lister in the meanwhile had run
in with expectations of bunt, and no
one was on first, allowing Del to perch
safely on the bag while Casey scored,
Cartwright hit to right. and though
McCfeedie made another handsome trv
for the plate Egan was safe. with
Mclaughlin on third Hogan worked
the squeeze play successfully and Mac

by a quick throw of Donohue's. Nc
Gregor went out, short to first, and the
run getting was over.
