after twelve innings OF play without
a score. Mercedes batting array won

ing the field in two One-sided innings.
Aside from the fourth, in which by
finding Pitcher Coy for six hits, FIVE
runs were tailed on the Beavers side
of the scoreboard, and the ninth, in
which Johnson's men piled UP three
more runs for good measure, mora
even contest could not have been de-
sired. Expunging these two sad items
from the score it was all to the good
for Vernon. Only one hit was made
off Coy in the other seven innings and
Vernon led by one run up to the fourth.

If all the runaway innings could be

Hoganites Always Trying
OF one thing the fans who see the
Vernon team in action are always sure.
They never give up without struggle,
and aside from the two give-away
periods, when Portland scored almost
at will the visitors had to fight Tor

Garrett had plenty of ginger behind
him, and retrieved himself for being
batted out of the box in the Sunday
afternoon game. He gave his team
mates from the region OF fogs ana

final game by shooting over ms
choicest production, and so puzzled the
Vernon stickers that six hits We're all

called. Ten hits off Coy tell the reason
for the comparative scores.

Creole singled infield. Johnson, the
field captain, strobe toward the plate,
grabbed his bat vindictively and for
old times sake, and mayhap because
of recent memories landed full vicious
swing on the leather. Sailing upward
and onward, it cleared the center field
