Fifth Straight ViciOry Is Cele-
brdted in a Game Full
of Hits
srANpING OF THE CLUBS
By w. J. Slattery

The record of the Seals Is still un-
blemished. while the Beavers are look
ing for a place to land on the baseball
map. Yesterday afternoon on the Va
lencia street lot Longs collection put
the rollers on the northern hosts for
the fifth time without a slip up. As
the finish was to s, and healthy bin
giles put most of the runs over on each
side, nobody has chance to holler
fiuke or lucky victory or anything like
that.
Any of the fans who like to see the
ball walloped some got a measure full
for fifty cent and two bit pieces which
they deposited IN the box Office. From
the moment that Umpire Jack O'Con-
nell gave the boys the office to wade
in and play ball till it was all over
everybody seemed to be willing to take
a ride on that ball. Thirteen hits were
piled up by both teams. all of them
of the resounding order.
Oscar Jones, who chased the Beavers
away without q run in the opening e
game, had his pride badly rufied and
his twisters sorely mutilated by the
same gang that was so easy but a
few days ago True Oscar won his
game, and by good margin at that
but he was a lucky young man indeed
that his teammates rallied to his sup
port and laced the leather out time
after time when men We're on the
sacks Scarcely a man on the lineup
was found wanting.
Pernoll, the piano legged southpaw,
whom McCredie dug up out Of the wilds
of Grants Pass, Ore, received his first
curve dispensing commission of the
year, and the way the locals used him
was never heard Of on the golf links.
After Catcher Madden had made a bad
heave that gave the Seals three runs,
Pernoll had nothing that the Seals did
not like. The going became so fast
that the young man gladly forsook
the box in the seventh inning and made
way for young Mr.. Harmon. who did
fairly well for the remainder of the
game.
MADDEN'S WILD THROW
The Beavers were sailing along very
nicely, with the score only to in
their favor, in the third period when
Williams got pass and Melchoir beat
out pretty bunt afohler drove the
ball out to left and Williams made a
bluff to come in. Bassey's peg to the
plate was perfect, so Nick changed his
mind and remained on third.
After Catcher Madden got the ball he
thought that he saw chance to catch
Melchoir of second and he whipped the
ball down There was nobody there TO
receive IT. nor was there any one in
the out1eld to stop its flight Conse-
Quently the leather rolled to the center
field fence and the three base runners
sauntered Ieisurely home.
That made II TO for the Seals and
gave them lead which looked nice
| The Beavers failed to further display
| that dash and spirit which marked
their work while the score was close,
Though they soused the ball on the
beak time after time their hits did not
count like those which left the bats of
the Seals. In the fourth inning three
Of the northerners stung the ball safe
ly, but nobody could get home.
SEALS SCORE OFTEN
The Seals were not even content with
| the lead which they assumed in the
third. but opened up again in the sixth
and seventh and gathered some more
During the former round Mohier was
passed and Berry and McArdle picked
out safe ones, filing up the sacks
Jones forced the kid at the plate, bu,
Hide scored both McArdle and Berry
with a slap against the fence.
The seventh brought about the un-
doing of PernolL Melchoir tore off his
/ third single and Zeider repeated with
another. Mohler unloaded asdouble into
center that registered Mel, and Pernoll
walked to the bench. Harmon came in
to take UP the burden and after Nc
Ardle had scored Zeider with long
| fly to left field the tall young pitcher
managed to keep the Seals away from
the plate during the next inning.
The Beavers were dangerous in near
ly every inning. but the Seals held such
a commanding lead that their opponents
invariably lost heart and did not gather
as many runs as they might have in
the later stages of the game had they
watched the game as they should. The
score:
