Sacramento came to the front with a
rush. Burns opened the round with a
single to left and La Longe lad down
a piping along the first base line
which registered as a sacrifice. Nourse
picked out a choice one and slammed
the ball out to deep left center, scor-
ing Burns and having himself credited
with a two sacker. Shinn slammed a
hot one at the center of the infleld,

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2O.--Miller
came within an ace of equaling the
worlds record for no-hit, no-run
game today, when he gave an exhibi-
tion of pitching skill that made 1t i'm
possible for Vernon batters to connect
with his delivery. He weakened a
trihe in the eighth, however, walked
three men and there were two on
bases when Mohler made an error on
Fishers drtve. Fisher had forced Coy
at second and when Mohler threw wide
to first, r. Brashear went home.
Until this time none of the Vernon
players had reached first. There were
no hits in the Vernon column during
the game.
While Miller held the southerners
puzzled, his teammates piled up three
runs. The score:
