Vernon ?, San francisco /

Heat had no terrors for the Varnon-
ties and the Seals yesterday, and for nine
close and sweltering innings they bat
tied it out at Chutes park, with tho
final result in doubt until Kitty Bra
shear scored the winning run with the
last hit of the game, stiff single 10
left field which sent Bernard over the
plate for the deciding tally dispersed
the crowd and broke UP an enjoyable
session. If every game played at the
Chutes had the same snap and class
there would be no holding the crowds
in the recreation park grounds, Ihere
was nothing lacking, for both pitchers
delivered splendid bail, the game was
always full of interest, the fielding was
well-nigh perfect, and the hitting just
strong enough to break the monotony'
Roy Willett was never better he
held the Seals to seven hits, three Of
them clustered into one inning, and
those Seals who got by him deserved
everything they got. On the other
hand. Pitcher Stewart gave the best
to the San Francisco team in his open
ing game with the new champions,
and was closefisted enough to hold
Vernon down to one run up to the
ninth inning. The Hoganites entered
this period with a do-or-die attitude
enough to win the game and undo all
Kid Mohler's efforts through the per-
spring afternoon.
Game Is Tied Up
1t was only luck that gave the Seals
their lonely tally IN the sixth and It
was only the reverse English on that
luck that kept the Hoganites from
scoring more than a tieing run in the
seventh. Both teams, despite the ter
rife downpouring sun, played at top
speed, fighting gallantly for every
vantage, and the players, specta-
tors and umpires were exhausted with
the strain when it was all over. How
ever, those are the kinds OF games tho
fans like to see.
Admirers Of the, Suburbanites have
every reason to feel proud Of the show
ing made by their team in the present
series. With three games played, each
has won one, and the other stands at
a thirteen-inning tie. This surely is
beating the northerners at their own
game, and now nothing will satisfy
Happy but victory in the series.
Singles by Mohler, Miller and Ten
nant brought the San Francisco cap
tain over the pan in the sixth, though
Umpire Mccarthy in all justice saved
Mohler by miscalling a ball, the last
delivery before his hit. However. 1t
was hot enough to make an eagle see
double. so Jack can get away with an
excuse that would satisfy James W.
Brooks, godfather to all the human
crabs.
Brashear's Hit Wins
In the seventh, Martinke started
rally that brought in the tying run.
Martinke stole second as Brashear
struck out on the hit and run sign,
and Coy singled to right. Martinke
tried to stretch a scurry for the home
plate into a score and was caught
by twenty feet on the throw-in. But
Haley came through with another sin
gle and this brought Coy over the pan.
From this point things proceeded
smoothly enough to the ninth. Then,
after San Francisco had gone out IN
easy fashion, the hard-hitting Vernon
combination got busy and the game
was speedily brought to an end with
out man out. Bernie Bernard opened
by doubling to right, squeezing the
ball over the fair line by a whisker.
Martinke placd the ball almost in the
same groove, and Brashear came up,
waited until he had 1t and 2, and
let fly at the lest ball, popping it neat
ly behind third base while Bernard
came home. The tabulated results:
