San Francisco carried off the honors
yesterday, but Hogan gave them such
a fight that It was an exhausted bunch
of players who toted their bats to the
club house after the games Bunched
hits off Vance, who was wild in the
latter stages, won the first of the after
noon double-header contests for the
new champions, but after a minute
rest the Vernon men came right back
and fought the visitors to a standsttll
in the five innings played in the second
game. 1t was a rafting afternoon,
despite that that second affair was
filled with a lot of wild playing in the
fifty minutes it lasted Enough spec

spectator
Mohlers men had a comparatively
EASY time of it In the first game, but
they were met by such determined op-
position in the succeeding battle that
they were only too glad to call It
enough. In fact Hogan wanted to con-
tinue the play, but Mohler shook his
head, we'll quit of those stubborn
suburbanites who have been making

Collect Hits of Vance
San Francisco won the opening game
by collecting their hits off Vance in
the sixth, seventh and eighth. Ihe
youngster delivered we'll up to the sixth,
and the visitors were beginning to
wonder if Hap's men were about 10
hand them another bouquet similar to
the Friday tribute. Vernon had two
run lead up to the sixth spasm, and 1t
looked like plain sailing for the Haps
when Vance grew a little shaky, the
northerners hit the ball with a little
more assurance, and before anybody
realized it the game was lost.
Martinke's double to right in the third
inning with two men on bases, brought
over Vance and Stovall for the first
runs. Into the sixth matters proceeded
before anything further disturbed the
even tenor of the game, although the
crowd was constantly in a hilarious
state,
Griffin moved his mates up notch
in that period by scoring McArdle on a
double after the northern shortstop
had been passed. This brought the
game to 2 to L in Vernon's favor The
seventh was a confused session, in
which half the time was taken up in
wrangling. Mohler started it by
singing to left, and went to second
when the ball bounced off Motifs knee.
Zeider successfully engineered an in
field bunt and stole second, Mohler
reaching third.
Seals Forge Ahead
Miller singled to center, scoring
Mohler and Zeider and giving the
Seals one run the best of the reckon
ing. Tenant showed an easy one in
Vances direction and the Vernon
pitcher was so ratified that he booted.

him and stepped off the bag, to be
replaced by Mundorff. Brashear
touched him out and a row ensued,
during which Miller went home, but
was sent back, and Mundorff allowed
to run for Bodie. Things looked blue
at this stage, and a minute later they
turned into a deep black when Miller
seemed sure to reach home, but Berry
popped out to Bernard and Miller was
caught mapping off third, thus lifting
the cloud.
Mothers Great Catch
In the seventh a wonderful one
handed leaping catch by Mohler
brought about a double play that put
the Vernon side out. Mott singled and
Hogan hit a liner over the pitcher.
Mohler made a flying leap into the
air stabbed the ball one-handed and
doubled Mott at second. 1t was the
most spectacular catch of the year in
the south. A walk and two singles
Brought McArdle over in the eighth,
and Tenants double brought Mohler
and Zeider, the famous Seal scoring
combination, over the plate for a
couple more.
Two Hitting Rallies
Two rallies made up the sum total
of the second contest Both Willis
and Stovall had one bad inning, San
Francisco getting three runs in the
second and Vernon tying matters in
the third. Tenant reached third on
an erorr a steal and a passed sball,
and Mundorff hit him over the plate.
Williams was walked and McArdle
forced Mundorff at the plate. Willis
bounced a hard one off into left center.
