eighth inning on two hits, a free pass
and an outfield out Orendorn gets the
glory for scoring these runs, as 1t was
his timely bingle to center, with the
bases full, that brought in both' anu

Portland scored four of its nVe runs
in the fifth inning. Breen was safe at
first on Smiths error. Graney famed
and Ryan was passed. Olson singled
to center, sending Breen over the pan.
Ort raised a fly to Thompson IN right
and the Angel recruit promptly muffed
it, permitting Ryan TO score. Delmas
overlooked the ball that Orendorff had
shot at him to catch Ort who was try
ing to steal, and Ort and Olson moved
up a peg. McCredie flew to Thompson
and Olson and Ort scored on the poor
throw of Thompson to the plate.
Neither Graney nor Tozer showed
their usual steadiness and were very
free with their transportation, thirteen
bases on balls being doled out during
the afternoon. Graney gave seven
walks and Tozer nearly tied him with
six. Eleven strikeouts were credited
to the twirlers, Tozer tanning an even
half dozen.

blocks when it comes to playing the
national game. Yesterday afternoon on
the Seaside diamond the hill top team
girls defeated their sisters of Santa
Monica high school by the onesided
score of SO to 10. Los Angeles high
school team played a good game and
the infleld work of the players would
have made "Hen" Berry sit up and
take notice, as far as playing the game
without errors was concerned.
Misses e. Swensen and G. Swensen,
the former pitcher and the latter
catcher, played an errorless game, and
the baserunning of these two students
was marvellous. E. Swensen was given
credit for a two-base hit and stole on
her opposing slabster three times with
IN the first and third innings. The bat
ting of G. Swensen was good and helped
to swell the batting average of the high
school team.
only one home run was made in the
game. That was made by Miss l..
Sheffield, who slammed the sphere
over the head of Miss Bingham. Miss
Bingham made an effort to bring down
the ball, but was unable to get her
hands on it. Miss Margaret Childs
played good game for Los Angeles
high on the initial sack and made sew
eral brilliant sensational stops for
girl.
This was Miss Buchanan's first APP
pearance in right field for several
weeks on account of illness. She played
up TO her standard.

dition and ready for the battle. Each

each will fly the flag of the runners
country. The Polo grounds is used pri-
marily as a baseball field. A descrip-
ton of how the scene will look tomor-
row may be best given as follows:
Hayes will have his camp at the
home plate, with an American flag fiut-
tering in the breeze, while Longboat
will take his stimulants and be rubbed
down in a tent at first base, over which
will fly a combination British and Can
adam flag In right field the French
