TOO MUCH HOGAN
FOR THE BEAVERS
Stocky Oak Outfielder Contributes Tc
Downfall of Northerners
By JOSEPH MURPHY

Il was a case Of too much Hogan
yesterday FOR the Beavers, as the stoclIy
outhelder of the oaks was mainly re-
sponsible for the downfall of the north
ern bunch. he was in the limelight
all The afternoon, and the way he
smote the bah about the lot sickened
the Portlanders He figured in all
the runs made 10y the oaks.
AIoser appears to be a mysterious
twirler for he added another victory
10 his list yesterday by dealing out a
bewildering line Of benders.
he had his curves working to per-
fection and Mercedes men never had
him worrying A couple of bingles in
the sixth frame were responsible Cor
the only run which the Beavers scored,
but a lightning double play prevented
The nOrtherners from doing much dam
age
Gregg a left handler, did the firing
for the Beavers and he performed well.
But seven hits were CLEANED off his
4 eIivery and six OF them We're divided
equaly between Hogan and Swander.
Ihe latter swung the club. like a pO-
liceman in the old days. and he fat
tened his batting average considerably.
The Beavers gave Gregg good sup
port Rapp at first cut down a couple
Of sizzling grOunders that looked good
for hits, when the ball started on its
way, but he pulled them in to the as
tOnishment Of the fans
Gregg started of poorly by getting
himself in tight hole in the second.
but he pulled out Of il in mastery
style. However, the Commuters got
10 him In the third frame and put
over q run on a couple Of hits. Cut
shaw started the trouble with single
and then Hogan got in the going He
leaned up against a straight one that
sailed out TO center field on line and
Cutshaw sprinted home while Hogan
pulled Up at third.
Cutshaw was handed a present on
Olsen's boot in the fifth and moved
eiOng on wild pitch by Gregg. Hogan
came along with a double this time and
Cutshaw was sent home. Carroll
bunted and Hogan came home on the
out
It looked as if the Beavers were go
ing TO get in the going in the sixth,
but a fast double ended their chances.
Olsen started of with a single, and
Hetling performed likewise. McCredie
sacrificed and then Moser took no
chances with Fisher and the bases were
filled A hit looked like a home run
at this stage, but Ryan was unequal
10 the task
He bounded one down TO Cutshaw,
who got Fisher He then pegged 10
get Ryan, but failed and Hogan re-
layed the bah home IN time to nail
Hetling. Olsen was the only man TO
score. He crossed the bag on a
grounder, which resulted in a double.
Hogan pasted out his third hit dur
ing the afternoon. Carroll advanced
him along and then Swander selected
q pumpkin, and sent the ball against
the right field fence with a smack. The
Beavers were easy during the last
rhree innings. Score:

SENATORS UNTAMED
BY SLIVERS HENLEY
Grahan1's Colts Refuse to Eat
Out of Seals Hand and
Canfer to Victory
[Special Dispatch TO The Call

SACRAMENTO, May 17.-Pursuant to
home custom, the Senator'S today took
the first game of the series, beating
the Seals to 2. The victory was made
the more notable because "Slivers'
Henley was on the firing line for the
Seals and in the past he has been
somewhat of jinX for the law makers.
The Senators won the game in the first
inning by getting to Henley strong be-
fore he could get his spell to working.
With Pearsons cared for, Darringer,
who did the frog act from the State
to the Coast team again, singled to
right. Perry, who has changed his
mind about going east tore a double
down the first base line, giving Oar
ringer a chance to sprint for home.
The play at the plate was close, but
Umpire Hildebrand called Darringer
safe.
Briggs rolled out, but Boardman re-
opened hostilites with a three base
swat to right, registering Perry Van
Buren then poled a double past Jimmy
Lewis and the third run scored. The
Seals could not overcome this early
lead, and that they were able to score
at all was because of two fumbles by
Reams. A boot of Shaw's grounder
gave the Seals a start in the first.
Melchior advanced him a base with a
single and with two down Bodie hit
to right, Shaw scoring from second.
Reams' error, Mohler's sacrifice and
fence scored Shaw in the third. Score:
