Costly Errors and Timely Hits
Figure In the Undoing of
Longs Gang
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
By w. J. Siaftery

There were a few of the hopeful
guard left who were willing to bet one
of their summer socks that the Seals
would nose the Beavers out of second
place before the seasons sun had set,
but all of them were ready to welch
yesterday afternoon when the native
tossers lined Fup against the Beavers
in the eye opening struggle of the
series. Ii there WAS any class-and
this was question-Portland pos
sessed it all. The I to 3 finish very
creditably represented the work of the
two teams.
Texas Griffin, who passed out the
Slants for the Seals, worked nicely
enough at times, but the way the rest
or the gang performed behind him was
enough to make OWE Overall crab. In
every tight PLACE some one of the
Seals would either boot the ball or else
toss it away and consequently Portland
managed to grab all its runs very
easily
1t was clean blank for San Fran
cisco save in the eighth inning, when
an unexpected rally netted three tallies.
Grimm led this with two sacker to
left, advancing on Mohlers fly out to
right. Hide was passed and Zeider
registered the Seal pitcher by wallop-
ing safely to left. Both the others ar
rived after Bodie met the ball for a
neat single to left.
The Beavers started early and were
on the job most of the time. They got
lHclI HISI Two runs without lflG assist
ance of anything that bore close re-
lationship to base hit. Ryan landed
on ZeiderS error and McCredie bunted.
Curtis heaved the ball to the most re-
mote corner of right and Ryan came in.
A sacrifice fly by Bassey put McCredie
over from third.
The fourth produced three more for
the slugging Beavers. Madden opened
with a single and Garrett drew a four
spot. Casey forced the latter at sec
ond, but Cooney made up for this de-
f1.afx l.
good enough to chase both men
through. While Griffin was still pom
dering Johnson stung him for a single
and the third run was there.
Portland sustained its gait in the
fifth by adding another one. With one
down, McCredie walked and breezed
around to third on Bassey's single.
Madden laced a fast one down to Grif-
fin and while the latter was busily
engaged in fielding his man out at
first the Beaver captain sneaked in
and the score was to DIN favor of

Danzig started it off with a clean
single to center field. On the next
ball hit to center Beck made a poor re-
turn toss in and Mac advanced to
second. Ryans bingle to center mo-
ment later aided him in scoring.
San francisco had a grand chance to
either break 1T up or make it a tie
in the last half of the ninth, but Mohler
hit into double and Grabbed the lay
out. The sacks were loaded with but
one down when the Seal captain laced
Ole Johnson, who quickly touched third
base and then everybody went home.
Portland played far and away the
better ball at every angle of the game
and the victory was nothing more than
the due of the northern aggregation.
The Seals were slow and dopey all the
time and did not seem to care whether
side of the last two innings Garrett
had them all on his staff with that spit
ball. The score:
