Vernon 8, San Francisco o


Up San Francisco way they used to
smile around the corners of their eyes
when Happy Hogan arrived in town
and began to talk about winning a
few games. The Mohler followers
ever arrogant in their devotion to the
Seals, condescended occasionally 70
commiserate Happy on having TO OIL
fer himself up to the mercies OF the
new Champions. They even indulged
in a little mild pity that such an ear
nest and hard-worlSing young manager
should be a victim of the Unsuitable
winning appetite OF the Seals. But
San Francisco fandom has had time
to think it over since the last series
between Vernon and the Seals at the
northern city. This week they have
been given more time and food TOT
thought Yesterday the Hoganltes
taught the Bayside fans and players
their second lesson In the foonsnnesS
of exceeding pride, and they did 1t SO
thoroughly that no defender or sup
porter Of the visitors could claim a
fuke. In order to make it all the
more effective. Roy Hit, the hot
weather twirler of the Vernonites,
clamped a shutout on the Captain
Kidd crew. and his mates outhit them
two to one, romping home in just the
manner the Seals have been aceus-
toned for many month to breeze
into victory.
Seals Never In It
Not once during the game did the
Seals have a chance to win. Every
time the locals dropped into the least
little hole, a trifle more ginger stf-
fleming of supports behind Hit ana
the scoring hopes of the invaders or
high degree faded away like mid
summer dream. Only five small hits
were garnered off Hit, and the Seals
11sed two pitchers. "BulP' Durham
started off and pitched a fair game for
seven innings, but an error and Two
hits brought over two runs III the
sixth, which, combined with the one
run start for the locals, shot them INTO
a safe lead.
After all the damage had been done,
Mohler benched the big Bull and Rollie
Zeider shifted from third base to the
pitcher's box, making his first appear
ance in this position since joining the
Coast league. Rollie had world OF
speed and got through TINS last gasp
without allowing q hit, walking one
man. Safely bridged over this period
the Seals worked hard to win by
ninth-inning flash, but the steam
wasn't there and things ended peace
fully, serenely and just right for the
southern bleacherites.
Brilliant Play by Locals
Though a couple Of innings in which
the Vernonites should have scored
three or four more runs left bad taste
in the mouth it was all forgotten In the
observation OF the score board at the
end. Hap's men as whole played one
Of the most brilliant games of the year,
the infield making several star stops
and catches, and the hitters doing all
that was necessary to win.
Bernie Bernard was the medium OF
the first run, with which the Vernon
men opened the game in their half
With one out he tripled to right field,
shifting the ball over Tenants head
to a deep corner. Martinke was up next
and the Flying Dutchman brought
Bernard over with a single to center
Events proved that this run was
enough to win the game, but the hog
antics took no chances and kept ham
mering away until finally they brought
two more over. In the second and tlttn
a white garbed home player reached
third sack. but hit could not be Sc
cured to bring him in. Then things
happened in the sixth and after that 1t
was plain sailing for Vernon.
Brashear fouled out to Zeider. Coy
opened with a double to center, which
found the Seal outfielder gazing in all
directions for the ball Haley reached
second when Catcher Williams let the
third strike roll through him to the
grandstand, and this sent Coy to third.
Mott tried to work the squeeze but
failed, Coy being caught at the plate on
Tenants throw in, though Haley
reached third and Mott got to second
while Coy was fiddling between third
and home. Happy Hogan was next up.
He celebrated his semi-annual hitting
streak by rapping out a single to CEN
ter. scoring the runners. The tapu-
lated results:
