Seals Lose i'm the Tenth After
Taking a Good Lead i'm
Seventh

Inc way the seals and the Vernon
villagers tore around that lot yester-
day afternoon, tying the score and GO
ing to the front again was enough to
decorate half page of the original
history of the diamond First ii was
one, then it was the other and then the
one again. The first lead was the lucky
lead and the first lead was Vernon s.
This was why San Francisco took the
place money instead of landing straight,
and why the spectacular Browning lost
his third straight game after 16 wins
without an interruption.
But what's the difference? The VIC
tory will help that poor unfortunate
gang from Vernon and the defeat will
not put a serious crimp in the per-
centage of the rushing Seals And
again, it was a ten inning upset and
any time that it takes one team an
extra round to beat the other the hu-
initiation is not so severe. The Seals
still have chance to win three more
in row, so cheer up. Perhaps the
best is yet to come
Up to the lucky seventh Hit was
pitching like a three fingered Brown.
The Seals seemed helpless before his
twisters. and not one of them had
crossed the pan, while nine had per-
ished by the strikeout process. 1t
Jimmy Williams was sent in to bat
for Melchoir and he responded with a
little scratchy one which he beat to
first Berry also singled and the
crowd began to wake up.
But McArdle flied out and the cheer
ing ceased. Browning came up smiling
the same as ever and he waited for a
pass, making 1t a full house. Right
here, the hitherto invincible Hit took
ono cyy~a md ioI Sne q
pass to Zeider and forcing Williams in
with the first run. 1t was the same
with Mohler. This forced Berry.
Commander Hogan gave Hit the
office to vacate the box, and Vance
took up the burden. The first thing he
did was to make wild pitch, sending
Browning over with the third run. A
moment later, Zeider made clean steal
of the plate, sliding in safely under
Hogan. This gave the Seals lead of
two and everybody was happy.
All this joy lasted until the ninth.
Then with one down, Martinke, Coy and
Haley hit all in a row. 1t did look a
bit dangerous and it felt even more
dangerous than it looked after Brown
hit one right on the pick into deep
center On came Martinke and Coy,
and Vernon was even again.
The real sad and sorrowful part of
TIE SlOIy is lOlu III tHdl dS
spasm. Devereaux opened with a two
sacker against the center field fence.
Bernard went out, short to first, ad-
vancing Red Bill Kitty Brashear un-
loaded another double to center, and
Bill was in. Martinke followed with a
hit and started to steal. Berry tossed
the ball wide to second and Brashear
arrived with the sixth tally for
Vernon
The first two runs the villagers
gathered were the result of the errors
of the men behind Browning. He was
pitching a good, steady game through
out and though he was hit hard, he
managed to keep all the bingles scat
tered until near the finish, when the
telling work was DONE
Both teams were forced to change
their lineups time and time again.
Nick Williams was chased into the field
when Jim Williams took Melchoir's
place at the bat and then Tenant got
into the game and covered first. 1t
was necessary for Hogan to get into
action himself, besides using three
pitchers in the box and a fourth man.
Willett, in the outfield. This change
seemed to act like charm on the
luckless southern outfit. Score:
