PORTLAND SCORES
HALF AS MANY
AS SEALS
San Francisco Continues It's
Brilliant Work and FEaftenS
Out the Beavers

The Seals opened up their series
with Portland yesterday by applying
the nattener to the Beavers and con-
tinuing them on their eellarward
course. IT was a game with plenty OF
variety, and though the contest looked
like the Seals after the sixth frame
there were enough thrillers in the
concluding innings to hold the fans
until the last man died. At the end
san Francisco showed SIX runs as
result OF its work, while the Beavers
had but half that number.
Ralph Willis did the tossing and he
was there with his hair in a braid. An
assortment that would go in any lot
was the kind that the local mound ar
tist handed out and but four bingles
was the limit OF his generosity. He
gave a good many passes, but he al
ways pulled the strings when there
was any danger.
Garrett was on the firing line for
Portland and he was touched up
rather freely. The hits which were
made of his delivery were of the
healthy variety, as the most of them
went for more than a base. Four Of
the Seals raped out his twisters for
doubles and McArdle annexed a three
base hit.
In the opening frame Mercedes men
gOt two hits, which developed into a
run- Willis lost Speas with four bad
sgles and he moved up a peg on Ryan's
Vie. Olson popped up a high one.
y ch was gathered in. McCredie did
n0 good. as he raped one which was
gathered in. and Speas was forced at
the plate. On Johnson's single Ryan
came home.
The Seals went as far as the third
before they got in the run making
habit McArdle raped a healthy one
centerward. which was misjudged by
RYAN. and he pulled up at station
three. Willis did some good by knock
ing out a long sacrifice fly and Mac
romped home Zeider picked out a
nice one and doubled. Fournier tried

did not retrace his steps, but beat II to

Zeider home
In the fourth another one came over
for the Seals through some good
cIoHting. Williams doubled to right.
Berry singled, scoring Williams
The run made in the sixth frame
happened this way: Melchoir hit for
two bases and was sacrificed along e
by J. Williams. The hit and run sig
nal was given and MelchOir started
home. Garrett thwarted the play and
threw a wide one, but Fournier messed
matters by throwing over the third
baseman's head in an effort 10 catch

wild peg he came home.
