BY Ed MorIarty

Dashes of brilliancy in the field, fast
pitching and clever work with the
stick at opoprtune times is the sum
total of doings which distinguished The
game between Seattle and Fresno yes
terday afternoon.
Virgil Garvin twirled as back i'm the
days when his name was famous
among major league fans Three hits,
one Of them a two-sacker by McLaugh-
lin which copped the game, were the
only safeties which Virgil allowed. AT
that the slender slabster was working
against odds which were anything but
conducive to a fast box performance.
Garvin received a telegram yesterday
morning to the effect that his wife lay
seriously i'll, and the Seattle twirler
was for taking the first train north.
Russ Hall persuaded him to remain
over and Virgil lost the hardest sort of
q game, in view of the conglomeration
of benders he sent across for Fishers
crowd to solve.
Fitzgerald let Seattle down with six
safeties and proved an enigma at crit
Iical moments. Despite the efforts of
'Rube' Vickers and the remainder of
the Siwash coaches Fitz hung on like
clam and moved them over when hits
meant runs.
Both teams fought with a vengeance
and the game was scarcely under way
when the excitement commend ed.
Wolters out in right raised the grand
stand curtain by darting in on Croll's
low liner In the third, swooping the
sphere for q put-out as the ball settled
to within an inch or so above the
ground. The effort appeared hopeless,
as VOTERS was we'll back when the
szzler left Croll's bat Robbed of a
hit the latter mournfully regarded the
Z tror n n Fd 70 11a oh,
VOTERS came near sending Garvin to
dreamland in the same inning, when he
drove a terrific liner straight at the
tall twirler, catching him amidships.
The sphere bounded to short and Fish
er's speedy youngster landed safely at
first before "Truck" Eagan collected
the remnants of the ball
Then came Pretzels Streib in the
fourth pulling down nasty one from
McLaughlin's stick which dropped
dangerously close to the bleachers
back of first.
Happy Hogan dealt pain TO Oscar
Jones in the fifth on his wild dash
toward the Seattle bench, basketing
Oscars nasty foul.
Hogan is not the greatest ball player
in the world, but he got away with a
corking game yesterday. The "happy''
one puts lots of life into a diamond
contest and his earnestness goes long
way with the bleacheriteS.
Seattle started like winners and put
the first run across in the opening in
ming. Kane singled infield and sole
second. Van Buren grounded out to
Cartwright and Kane went to third
Hogan caught him off the bag but
Delmas dropped the ball and Kane
scored.
Fresno came back with a rush in
their part of the round and sent over
two.
Doyle walked and Wolters sacrificed
him to second. Casey lined to Streib
and Eagan walked. Doyle and Truck"
worked a double steal and scored when
Mclaughlin smashed to the score
board for two sacks.
The final run was tailed in the
eighth when Hogan scored on a walk
ard two singles by Doyle and Wolters.
The score:
