Vernon 2. Portland 0

In order to demonstrate to their loyal
supporters that 1t doesn't happen al
ways as in the headliner comedy act
of the day before, when the score-no
one proba bly, will need to be reminded
was 13 to against them, the Vernon
ties went out and won from the Beavers
in handy fashion yesterday afternoon.
For the second time this season John
Raleigh, who has proved himself made
of that metal which does not tarnish,
brought the Suburbanites through to
victory. and for second time he
handed over to his chieftain, Happy
Hogan, a shutout against the men
whom he attacked. These two games,
and a third which he lost through poor
support, are his only nine innings APP
pearanCe, but he has been on the team
only a few weeks, and this is a rather
high class record for "busher' boy.
If there was anything Raleigh failed
to produce yesterday from his choice
collection of puzzlers, the Portlanders
are hoping they won't be the victims
when he uncovers his full repertoire
Raleigh had the heavy Beaver strikers
puzzled all the way. He kept the hits
scattered into four innings held them
down to dinky single base larrups, and
refused to pass but one man to first.
Only five of the Beavers ever found
the hard-earned way to the initial sta
ton, one of these on an error by Eagan
in the first inning. Not a man among
the men from out of the north got sec
ond. In the sixth and seventh innings
combined, Raleigh put out his op-
ponents with just eleven pitched balls,
which means only five deliveries to pass
around among six men after the first
one sent over.
Raleigh Is Unbeatable
Happy Hogan should be so lucky before
the season wanes as to dig up another
Raleigh he may make the best teams in
the league look to their honors.
Inning after inning rolled by without
a score, but the fans were kept up
standing by the fast and pretty fielding
Of the Vernonites, with few dashes of
really good work on the part OF the
Portland infeld interjected. The play
was fast, the official time being one
hour and thirty minutes. If you will
look over the results as prepared in de-
tail by the kind and gentle official
scorer you will find two peculiarities.
First, the Vernonites made all their
hits in two innings, getting three in tho
fourth and three in the seventh, each
triplet accounting for one of the runs
Secondly the game was unusually fast
despite that only five men were struck
out by the two pitchers. Carson was
the business agent for the northern
tribe He was good, but not as good as
Raleigh, and in the dual struggle the
curley-haired Vernon southpaw had
considerably the best of it.
Score in the Fourth
Jess Stovan opened the plano factory
noise in the fourth when he walloped
Carson's choicest for q hot single to
short. Eagan followed suit with a re-
peater to center, and long-legged Jess
planted himself on second bag. Mar
tinke flew out to Breen, and then Haley
laid the ball down straight toward
Olson, who failed to catch Eagan, when
Truck limbered toward second. The big
form of the Vernon shortstop hove in
view like a battleship under full steam,
and 1t so bothered Breen that he failed
to retire Eagan. StoVall kept on going
home as his coacher saw how things
stood, and he made a long slide under
Armbruster when Breen threw high 10
the plate. the bell toning the tale of joy
to the ardent rooters.
In the seventh Martinke banged the
ball out to left for single and was
caught stealing second, Armbruster ex-
ecuting a pretty heave to the second
base. Haley went out, and with two
gone the Vernonites got busy. Mott
stirred a terrific racket by doubling
hard to left. Happy increased 1t by
about 100 pounds pressure when he
singled to right, scoring Mott, and took
second on the throw in. Raleigh closed
up things by popping out to Johnson,
but no one ever noticed this, for the
youngster had done his work gallantly
and well, as the tabulated results show:
