Hard luck, Happy" shouted ring
slider. when Mohler caught out the last
man in Yesterdays ballfest at Chutes
mark. and the locals drifted back to
their quarters, a discouraged lol VI
shut-out ball players.
Hard luck" echoed every supporter
of the Vernonites. And that call prop-
ably re-echoed in Hogan's MIND as ne
reviewed the game. reanzlng that oilly
the snappy fielding of the seals, anu
the fates all in favor of the visitors
had lost the Villagers the game. 1t
is mighty trying on an ambitious cap
tain to see his team go down TO three
successive defeats, at least two or
which could be laid to inopportune err
rors. and the fast fielding of their OPP
ponents. especially since the winners
failed to score on earned hits, ana the
losers out-slugged the northerners.
Mohler and his men demonstrated
Yesterday that, in good form, they
must be seriously reckoned with III
figuring out the league probaDllltles'
He has one of the fastest lnhelds IN
the league, the players are sure rooted
and sure fingered, and the little gray
haired leader has drilled them IN ma
chine-like team work. Against TINS
aggregation the Vernonites seem 10
lose ali Their horsehide instinct.
There was plenty of good baseDall
sandwiched in between the errors yes
tsrda to satisfy the baseball purlst.
There was an abundance of ginger on
both sides, and a few thrills. hogan
appeared behind the bat, despite. the
broken nose which he sustained IN
practice in the morning. when bat
ted ball struck him on the bridge OF
the nose, breaking the cartilage inu
decorating the skin. Kinkel was
thrown out of the coachers' box by
McGreevy in the eighth for over-en-
thusiasm, and Graham. who sat on
the bench throughout the game, was
fined So by McGreevy for roasting MIN
because of his decisions.
San Francisco's second run came IN
on errors by Vernon, though the hrst
was earned by a well placed triple off
Tenants bat. Williams hit out
neat single in the first when his turn
at the plate came, and it was Ten
nant's three Dagger that brought him
over for the first tally. The second
and concluding run of he game arrived
via the error route, when Eagen threw
wild to first to catch Berry on the lat
ter's grounder to him, and Berry went
to third and scored on McArdle's hit
to Mott. who failed to return the ball
to home in time to catch the runner
Both Schafer and Slivers Henley, the
opposing pitchers, were in good form,
and of the two the local boy had the
best of it. This is Schafer's first de-
feat of the season. and the lad deserved
victory. Several times Hogan's men
reached third, but invariably a final
out or pretty double play would blank
their chances for a run. The Vernon
ties outhit Mohler's aggregation--but
the hit column can never be inter-
changed with the run column.
In the seventh the youngsters got
their batting eve, and it appeared for
a few moments as though the score
might be tied. Haley shot out a dou
BILE, his second for the game, and then
Hogan went out, over the Mohler-Ten
nant rapid transit line. Schafer hit
hot one to McArdle, and on the throw
in Haley was caught at the plate.
Hardly had the roar from the bleach
ers subsidized when Schafer was caught
at the home base on Mothers heave
to Berry of Caffyn's hit infield. Cap
tain Mohler of the Seals played high
class game yesterday. fielding his po-
sition to a nicely and getting a dou-
BILE. 1t is easy to see with the in
spiration of such fast and gingery play
ing before, them where the Seals have
acquired their vim and dash, an es-
sential factor among pennant contend
ers. The tabulated score:
