run when compared with two espe-
cialiy when there was man on second
base at the time the second one left the
bat?
Ehman did all the work for the Sem
ators. 1t was he who brought their
three runs home and without him the
chances are that they would not have
known what the plate looked like. It's
the first time in the history of the
Coast league that pitcher ever per-
formed such a feat, so Ehman has this
much glory coming to him, even if he
must be compelled to stand for the loss
of one of the hardest fought games Of
the season.
They were deadlocked in the ninth,
and the Senators could not do any good
in their half of the tenth. After Zeider,
the first man. had died, ii did not appear
as if the Seals would score, but Mum
dorf picked out a nice single to center,
and without stalling an instant Ping
Bodie drove out a great two sacker
against the left field bleachers. The
entire Sacramento outfeId was after
the ball. but Mundorff managed to get
away to a good start and he easily beat
the throw TO the plate amid the wild
cheering of the multitude.
1t was a great game to watch from
one inning to another. Sometimes the
Seals seemed to have an edge, and then
again their opponents would come
strong and take the lead. Nobody could
figure what the finish would be until
Bodie broke it up. The best hitters We're
falling down inning after inning. and it
remained for the pitchers to do most of
the good work.
Griffin started the Seals off in the
third by catching one on the end of his
bat and slapping it over the center field
fence. The next inning passed without
incident, but in the fifth Ehman picked
out one just like that which he tossed
to Griffin and he treated it in precisely
the same manner, even TO knocking it
over the same spot that Griffin's homer
found an out.
The Seals came up fighting in the
sixth and annexed another one, which
gave them the lead for the second time.
Bodie laced a healthy, two sacker out
to the center garden, being sacrificed
TO third by Nick Williams. Meiehoir
listed a line fly to House, and the Indian
dropped it. Bodie started home and ar
rived before the ball, House making a
poor return throw.
over the fence again, Grif; Ehman's
got twor yelled the crowd as the little
pitcher came up for his licks in the sew
enth. He did the best he could, and it
resulted in a nice single to left. Rollie
Zeider followed, driving one mile a
minute into right. Griffin passed second
and kept on his way to third. Flanagan
received the ball and made great peg
to lansing, but the leather hit some
sort of an obstruction and bounded away
from the bag. It hit the players bench,
became a dead ball and thus Griffin was
allowed to score. This tied IL up again,
and the deadlock remained unbroken
until Bodie responded with the drive
that counted ever more than either of
Ehmans great wallops
Another mammoth crowd saw the
game. some 10000 fans passing through
the turnstiles. The grandstand was
we'll filled, while even the new bleachers
overfowed and there were several hun :
dred in center field. 1t was the first
game that the Seals had won before a
good assemblage on Sunday afternoon.
and this was taken favorable hunch
by the fans.
During the first few innings the SEN
ators pounded Griffin hard and it looked
as though it would be necessary to take
him out But the helders worked in
great form behind him and in this way
he was pulled out of several bad holes.
After the seventh inning. when Ehman
raped out his second homer, Griffin had
the number of each Senator. Score:
