Play Tie Game
Pennanf Winners Finish With a
Rush i'm Last Inning and
Even Up Score

Vernon and San Francisco opened the
last week of the season yesterday at
Freeman's park and battled for nine
innings without a result. Darkness
was settling down on the field and the
umpires concluded that the. game
should be finished on another day.
When the session was called to a halt
the Seals had four runs to their credit,
while the visitors had like number.
1t was one of those seesaw contests
with both teams having a chance all
the way. through.
The locals made one of their whirl-
wind finishes that have pulled them out
of many close holes during the series.
With two runs to the bad when the
final frame came around, they went
into the affray with a lot of pepper
and ginger and got on even terms with
the southern outfit when the game
looked to be hopelessly lost.
1t was grand rally, and Longs men
were well cheered. While they did
not play their best in the field, they
made up for their miscues by their fast
finish.
Stewart, the Texan, was given the
heavy work, and outside the opening
frame, when he was touched up for
three hits, he handed out a fair sam
pie of ball. Willett did the heaving
for the trailers, and he had about an
even break with Stewart.
Vernon started off in a manner that
made it look like Stewart would be
sent to the bench before half the game
was over. Stewart, however, pulled
himself out of bad hole and allowed
but a tally.
The Seals took the lead away from

when they put over two runs on a
brace of hits. Two well placed hits
did the trick.
Vernon relieved Longs men of the
lead in the seventh frame by annexing
two runs and making the game look
safe in the eighth by getting another
tally.
The Seals showed their finishing
powers in the last frame by touching
up Willet for three good hits and an
