STANDING OF THE CLUBS
san francisco 6. Vernon /

san Francisco o. vernon
One lone tally in the fourth separated
the Hoganites from a shutout at the
hands Of Mothers Seals yesterday aft
ernoon at Chutes Park, and fifteen hits
off Twirler Hit, three costly errors on
the part of the youngsters and siv
scores by the northern team explain
why Hogan sat on the bench yesterday
with eyes on the ground. First, last
and always, there was nothing TO II put
the Seals, and the snappy play eXhlolted
by Vernon in the games with Oakland
disappeared like melting snow before
the accurate and heady article of ball
put forth by the Mohlerites.
There were no particular sensations
in the game, except that San Francisco
surprised the gathering by playing the
home team off their feet. Had the
Seals taken a close game there might
have been some regret, but 1t would
have been put down as the usual base
ball luck Time after time, however.
the boys of the village came up and
went out almost two-three, going
into the field and allowing the visitors
to pound them around like lot OF
amateurs. The heavier hitters of the
Vernon team seem to be paralyzed with
stage fright when they stack up against
the northern twirlers. In fact san
Francisco seems to have corraled the
Vernon goat
The Seals showed their class in the
third. when three men crossed the plate.
Hoy Hit allowed Zeider to pass to
first. he was advanced to second on
Williams sacrifice and scored on Ten
nant's single Bodie, who replaced
Melchoir in the batting line and in right
field, lined out double, scoring Ten
nant. Bodie went to third on passed
ball at second, and when Brashear
mixed up with a hard liner by Lewis,
Bodie trotted over the tally square.
One run was accounted to San Fran
cisco in the fifth when Zeider doubled,
stole third and scored on Williams SIN
GLE In the sixth another run was add
ed. when Berry was safe at first on
Eagan's muff of his liner, was sacrlnced
to second by McArdle and scored on
Eastleys double. The final run came IN
the ninth, Just to rub it in to Hogan $
crew, Zeider making his third run of
the game on two errors by the Vernon
infield, and Bodies hit to Eagan, who
moved the ball toward home too leisure
ly to catch the runner
The Seals permitted Vernon to score
in the fourth, when Martinke lined to
Eastley, was safe at first, went to sec
ond and scored on Stovaps double.
Aside from Hits wildness and err
rattle pitching, the work of the day
which attracted notice was the perform
ance of Pitcher Eastley who appears
TO be one of the best of Mothers good
twirling staff Eastley held Vernon
down to three hits, struck out three
and passed only one. His double scored
one of the runs, and he made diff
cult one-handed stop Of a hot liner In
the fourth, saving a double He was
about the whole show in the seance, and
handled himself with all the GOODNESS
and precision of big Lacquer, Watch
this bow if he clashes against the
heavy batting line of the Angels. The
tabulated score:
