COAST LEAGUE STANDING
Portland, 9; Los Angeles, 1

Portland sat in on a good game yes
terday. The Beavers had all the cards
and consequently took every trick but
one. When the totals had been cast
up there was nothing left but single
tally to afford comfort to the Angels,
for the northerners had opened the
last series of the season by Walloping
that tried and true veteran, Waiter
Nagle, to a fare-thee- well. Walter
was fairly steady until the ninth, and
then the visitors descended on him
with such force that the echoes are
reverberating around the Vernon field
yet
Up to that last inning it was a good
game, and the locals always had a
chance to win. The Portlanders got
many a man on base only to see the
side go out without a score. They
secured a run in the third on two
hard hits, but the Dillonites eVened up
matters in the fifth and 1t looked like
a nice pitchers battle up to the final
frame. Carson delivered in consistent
style all along the way and every
thing the southerners got they earned
fairly.
Awakened by the fact that they are
now witnessing the final week of play
in the coast league, the fans rallied
out at the far suburban field in gem
erous manner They accorded the
Beavers a hearty reception, burying
the hatchet which had been raised
aloft by various and sundry disagree
able incidents connected with the first
two trips south of the McCredie war
riors, and gave the northerners a good
hand every time they deserved it,
which was pretty often, it must be ad-
mitted, since several of the Ore
gonians engineered nice fielding stunts,
and slammed the ball with energy.
Olson Scores First
Spike" Olson, the Beaver shortstop,
brought over the first run of the
game. In the third inning, with one
man gone, he singled to left, and con-
tinued on to second, when Goodwin
played hide and seek with his hit
Graney stepped in with a single to
center, which was strong enough to
score his mate.
Walter Nagle was the medium of the
tie score in the fifth. With two men out,
Nagle singled to left, was advanced
to third on Wolfe's single and Nagle
came home when .Graney stood fiat
footed in his tracks and failed to re-
turn the BALL On into the eighth,
when Ort's home run. the first seen on
a local diamond for several days, drove
McCredie in ahead of him and gave
the Beavers a nice lead. This hit,
which came with two men out and
after McCredie had been passed, was
a clean, wholesome low sizzler, which
shot over the left-field fence with the
force of a cannonball. 1t seemed to
discourage Nagle, for after his mates
had failed to come back in their half
the northerners all Of sudden began
to find the Judge with terrific effect.
FusilIade of Hits
In the Beaver half of the ninth six
hits were made in such rapid success
sion that the fans only saw man step
to the bag, swing at the ball and trot
toward first while the sphere bounded
into the outfield.
Carson struck out Then Cooney
opened up the volleying, which seemed
interminable. He singled to right and
Olson repeated. Graney hit a hot one
to Nagle, and the Angel HEAVIER en-
deavored to corral Cooney at third on
fielder's choice. His throw to Jud
Smuth went away wide, however, and
Cooney got over the plate on the err
ror. johnson singled to left, scoring
, Olson and Graney. McCredie repeated
to center and Fishers single to the
same spot scored Johnson. Ort sacrt-
feed, sending the men along, and
Speas' single brought over McCredie
and Fisher. It was one-two-three in
the Angel half and then the crowd
went home. The score:
