SEALS IN OPENER
Breckenridge Always Proves Ef-

ming Weakness
HENLEY FOUND OPPORTUNITY
Villagers Seem to Have ReCov-
cred from Their Fright
and Batting Slump

Consistent and timely swatting
helped the Villagers to take a brace
yesterday and win the opening game
of the series with San Francisco by a
10 score in an exhibition that com
bined features Of pitching and fielding
of a classy nature on both sides. Hits
were rather scarce. as SliVers Henley
allowed only six bingles, while Brack-
enridge was more stingy in that he
gave up only five safeties none of them
of the extra base variety. 1t was a
clean, snappy exhibition, with no glar-
ing errors to mar it and was doubly
enjoyable because the home team won
and seemed to have recovered its nanny
that the Oakland outfit captured and
tied last week.
Frisco started off in the lead in the
second inning. when Breckenridge al
lowed them two hits and one run. At
ter Berry had been thrown out at first,
Lewis Texas leaguered over short and
stole when Happy threw wild to catch
him Ping Bodie flew to Carlisle and
McArdle singled to left, Lewis racing
from second to the plate on q poor re-
turn of the ball by Carlisle. This was
the only run the Seals were able to
put over as Breckenridge never al
lowed more than one hit in any other
inning and was given brilliant fielding
support
Vernon was slow to get on its stride
but finally located Mr.. Henley in the
fourth. getting three hits. one of them
a double. and with the aid of an er-
ror at third scored twice. Burrell sim
gled to short center and went to sec
ond on Martinke's high bounder to the
infeld. which the Seals fielder could
not handle in time to retire either. Roy
Brashear bunted to Henley, who tossed
the ball to Witt at third to force Bur
rell. Witt muffed the throw and there
nv permitted the cushions to be fllled
to their capacity. Coy doubled &c
right and Burrell and Martinhe scam
nered home. Brashear might have
made it to the plate, too, but as there
was no one out it was wise judgment
in Kitty Brashear. on the coachlns
line to hold Brother Roy there and not
take any unnecessary risk, even though
he failed to score afterWard. Lima
saw lined to McArdle at short and Coy
feil as he turned in his efforts at re
tnrninp TO second. being doubled at
that station, McArdle to Mohler.
Tn the next inning the Villagers
added another run on two hits, one OF
them a double, two errors and an out
HOGAN doubled to short left and Bodie
could not quite get under the pail
which bounded between his legs ano
rolled to the fence. Brackenrldge
hunted and Moher dropped Henley
throw. Carlisle beat out a bunt and
4ogan fI.3g was caught at the plate when
B1rrell hunted to Henley. Hogan
co1l1d have scored had he not hesitat-
ed ed to too long before starting for home
being barely caught as he slid under LEI
berry. Martinke flew to right and
breckenridge scored. e...
The same teams line up tins after
noon for game No. and Hogan says
he will send his new pltcher, CaTSon CT5I,d,
viii w IN probably twirl for the Seals ano
