FORMER TEAM MATES
Fast Play Brings Forgetfuness of
Wednesdays Scrambled Dish.
Bunehed Hits Tell Story
of Game at Chutes
Portland q, Vernon I

When the second fast and spectacular
game after that succotash affair OF
Wednesday had passed into history
yesterday and the fans had poured out
of the worn turnstiles at Chutes park,
the memory of that 18 to score had
become somewhat dimmed under the
radiance of two as good following
games as the fans could wish to see.
1t was Beaver day yesterday. BelleV-
ing that it was his turn to repair the
reputation of his team for that hodge
podge of two days ago, Waiter NC
Credie passed the word along TO his
players to put on a full head OF steam.
That they followed his instructions to
the letter the score abundantly demon
strates.
When a pitcher allows six stingy
hits, only one of which could be
stretched into a double, and his mates
come through with two doubles in
quick succession at an opportune mo
ment when the bases are we'll occu-
pied, there is some reason for the de-
feat of the other team. Happy Ho-
gan's brigade stuck to their guns
through nine rattling innings, and put
up a whirlwind finish that almost tied
up the score, but he was bucking a
heavy hitting aggregation and the logl-
cal result ensued In addition, when
L
that not a mistake was charged up to
the northerners. it is easy to under
stand why the Suburbanites failed to
take the game.
Wilett's Late Comrades
Roy Willett, lately a member of the
Portland pitching staff, appeared
against his former comrades and held
them nicely, the Beaver stickers get
ting only five hits. Four of these, how
ever, were crowded into two innings,
1.-TWO of them being the doubles that
won the game.
The Beavers scored first in the third
inning. Breen and Armbruster were
allowed to lose themselves and pass
to the bench, and then Graney, the
third man up, walked. With two men
out, the real trouble opened up.
Spike" Olson ambled to the plate
with the stroll Of the county constable
of an interior Ohio town. His appear
ance was deceptive, however, for he
raped Willett's next delivery for
hard double, which was pushed out
into left field. This sent Graney to
third, and Spoas, the slim and hard
hitting left fielder, found the former
Beaver for another double, accounting
for the scoring of Graney and Olson.
In the fifth Willett was nervous and
seemed unstrung, for he was generous
to the northerners and handed them a
couple of runs to add to their tally
sheet. McCredie was allowed to walk
and Johnson went to first when he was
hit by a pitched ball. Ort went out
In a long fly and then Breen scored
his chieftain with a hot single through
center. Breen was caught at third on
the throw in Of the ball. Truck Eagan
made an unexpected slip up moment
later. and this was the direct cause OF
the fourth run, though 1t really made
little difference, for one run would
have made no difference in the result
Stockv little Armbruster, the Portland
catcher. hit a hard one to short, which
Fagan gathered in nicely, but when he
tried to finish the play he tossed wildly
TO first. and the Oregon field captain
sneaked over the pan.
Vernon Saves shutout
Vernon secured one saving run in the
sixth. and they made a hot finish in
an effort to tie the score, but all In
vain. The lone tally came thusWise:
Prashear connected for a terrific drive
through first and gained his objective
point thereby Truck Eagan laced out
a hard double to center and 1t would
have scored Kitty had he not been
forced by Stovall a moment before.
Fagan was forced at third, Stovall and
Truck failing to work a double steal,
and when Armbruster threw low to
second to catch the Flying Dutchman,
little Martlnke, Stovall scooted for the
plate and beat the ball by mile or
more. 1t looked interesting here ana
the crowd called for a tie score, but
TFaIey struck out. The Vernonites
thereafter had scant picking. The
tabulated results:
