Seals Fall, but Come
Back and Land
For the Second Time This Wcek,
Texas Sutor Makes a Show
of Beavers
By w. J. Slattery

The ebb tide of victory swayed from
side to side on the diamond yesterday
flowing for the Beavers in the morning
and washing the bulky side of the score
over to the Seals in the afternoon. Both
games were won decisiVely ana lett no
chance for an argument Both teams
showed real form reversals and tore
of all kinds Of baseball It was the
work Of the pitchers that figured In
each victory and the lack of heavy
hitting was noticed more than at any
other time during the week.
Yesterdays games gave the Seals the
series, five games to three. McCredle
tried very hard to secure at least an
even break and after his men had
humbled the home tossers on the Oak
land lot in the morning things looked
bright. but there were unforeseen OBJ
stacles in the path of the Beavers and
they never figured at all.
For the second time this week, Texas
Sutor showed up the heavy hitting bri-
grade from the north before big
crowd Three hits, two of them very
scratchy affairs, were scattered along
the nine innings of action. Five Beav
ers took advantage of the southpaw's
generosity and walked to first, but
they were all left at the post
The Seals gave two of the Beavers

on the alert to take advantage of any
miscues, and there were plenty Of them
at critical moments. Marshall, who
opened up, lasted six innings. He was
succeeded by Mcfarland, who had alb
solutely nothing outside of an over
hand motion and the knowledge that
he was on the job.
The first run for the locals came
about in the third. when Berry hit,
Sutor sacrificed and Hide also found
the ball safely for the tally. In the
fifth. with two out of the way, Mohler
and Hide drew four spots and Zeider
landed on Cooney's boot. Marshall
lost his control and slapped Williams
in the Stats This meant another for
the home team.
Mcfarland bowed to the fans in the
seventh and the Seals Immediately Of
feed strong TO his assortment, which
was no burden to carry. Sutor opened
with q Texas Lacquer to center, Mohler
sacrificed and Hide again walked.
After Cooney had retired Zeider by
making a wonderful stop and throw,
Williams hit the left field fence for a
double and Sutor and Hide were in.
The boys went stronger in the
eighth than in any other inning, gath
ering three. Cooney booted grounders
from the bats of McArdle and Berry
and Mac came in on the second wallop
from Sutors club. Berry got to third
and registered when Mcfarland over
threw first trying to get Sutor. The
pitcher pulled up at third and Mohler
put him over with a long ny TO Raf-
terry.
Though Portland was BANKED, it was
not through the brilliant fielding eff
forts of the home team, which erred
continually all day. Had the Seals been
pitted against a slabster with an easy
line of stuff a far different story likely
would have been on the card. The
Beavers got many men to the bases,
but Sutor always hung it on them at
the critical moment.
Despite the sloppy fielding by the
players of both sides, the game was
not without its interesting features.
When they did settle down the infield-
ers on each side showed a lot of class.
Though Cooney's errors contributed a
couple Of runs, he cut off a couple
more by his brilliant stops back of
second base. The score:
