Vernon, 5; Sacramento, o

Hits off Willett, g. off Spider Baum,
10. This briefly and graphically tells
why the Vernonites won from the SEN
ators yesterday. With long clouts,
strong clouts and what is better still,
clouts all together, the Suburbanites
had an easy time against the Riversid-
ers and made as much of a spread
eagle showing of the visitors as Gra-
hams men outclassed the Hogan team
the day before. For in and outer per-
formances the Vernon brigade has 1t
on all the coast league aggregattons
Of north or south by about the length
of the longest throw in baseball. After
an off day, which was fittingly cele-
brated by seven rank errors, the
Brooks team came right back and
played Sacramento to a standSt1ll,
never leaving the score in doubt after
the first innig. Early and often the
northern pitcher, Spider Baum, long
but no longer lanky, was pounded by
the stickers of the Hogan line. The
hits came in collections, and when the
platter has been passed all around and
had been returned to Happy he had a
nice little souvenir of the occasion In
the shape of a neat shut-out, with
Pitcher Willett on the honor roll.
The game was won in the first in
ming on three hard hits by Vernonites
The opening rally so enlivened them
and dispirited the visitors that there
after it was a trailed out procession,
with the Vernonites gaining at every
Jump. Five doubles were made by the
locals, two of them going to the credlt
of Kitty Brashear. Willett struck out
five men, gave only two bases on balls
and was so precise in his judgment OF
the capacity of each man to hit and
get away to first that he kept all OF
them guessing which particular por-
tion of his twirling repertoire would be
called into play next, and consequently
his supporters in the infield had plenty
of work to do.
Stovall. first man to bat in the Yer
non half of the first, landed safely on
Heisters juggle of his hit: When
Mickey La Longe tossed bernard
practice bunt over first base both run
ners went along, and Martinke COM
nleted the damage by singing to cen
fer scoring Stovall Bernie crossing
the pan when Gandil fumbled the bal
in center field. Thus, five minutes at-
ter the opening of the game, the south
ern men had attained a nice, com
Portable lead, one of those starts thai
permits the home ians to sit back, en-
iOV a good cigar, ana Talk over ll'
fine points of the game without being
kept on edge in fear of defeat.
Vernonites Advance
In the third the Vernonites added
another. they made it four in th'
sixth and totaled five runs in tht
eighth. Brashear batted Bernard owe
the plate in the third with hare
double to left, after Bernie haC
rea ched third on Darringer's error thu
Vernonite's steal to second, and Mar
tinke's out Martinke added the sixth
inning run by his double to center
Brashears beautiful sacrifice and Coy:
long sacrifice fly to center, sending thu
Flying Dutchman over with yards tt
snare on the throw in. Two doubles
| in quick succession by Brashear anC
| Gov scored the last and fifth run o
the game in the eighth, and that wa'
| all there was to it.
| Just six of the Sacramento players
reached first, one of these when hit b!
a pitched ball, and two on passes. Th'
| other three were on dinkey singles
which they were lucky to get. Will
Willett pitching such frosty ball, the
fielders Gid the rest, and only two o
| the Senators reached second base
! Third base was empty of a blue Goa
all the long afternoon, and in the ligh
of these facts it is no wonder the
| Hoganites had a nice little workout
! instead of a hard baseball game. The
