LUCK With SEALS
BUT TIDE TURNS
Henley Passes Din7inuffVe Slab.
:: ster and Ryan Sends Pellet
Over the Fence
BY JOSEPH MURPHY

=. Eugene Knapp. dispenser of curves
and speed balls, ably assisted by Buddy
Ryan. swatologist, checked the losing
streak OF the Beavers yesterday at Rec
. reation park when the chances of a
victory for the northerners looked as
gloomy as Jim Jehries after he stepped
into the ring with Jack johnson on
last fourth OF July. The fans were
counting on another shut out. as the
afray had reached the eighth frame
and the Beavers were without q run.
while there were two chalked up for
" the champions. The eighth saw the
p Beavers back in their old form making
Slivers Henley look like a boy who
? was Just breaking into fast company
p The elongated HEAVIER was pounced upon
in this frame, and when the curtain was
drawn the score read 3 10 for Port
land.
Henley had been going along swim
ningly. He had escaped one tight place
and ii looked as il he was going TO
get by without any trouble. In the
eighth he fOolishly passed Knapp and
then Ryan gained considerable distinc-
-tlon by selecting a ripe one, and lean
ing against it with tremendous force
1t was an able swipe, as the ball sailed
over the right field fence and the score
was tied. The Beavers took hope and
went right along and clinched the game
an this session.
=. Knapp. the understood pitcher, but
possessing large shoulders and a fun
supply Of curves which were foreign TO
she champions. essayed the task Of
= blocking the Beavers race to the cellar.
His work was Of the fashionable type
He had everything which a moundman
is supposed TO have. and what the Seals
knew about his delivery would never
help them along in the baseball world.
Two hits were gathered off his de-
ent stages Of the game. However, luck
seemed 10 be against him for both of
the hits made of him counted for runs.
Henley was touched up for three hits
in the fifth frame, but managed to get
10y without allowing a run
Luck seemed 10 be with the Seals. for
in the seventh Martinke bounced one
up gainst the right field fence, which
looked like a homer, but it fell
couple Of feet short of clearing the
boards.
The Seals got into the going in the
third. when Berry started il with a sim
gle TO center. McArdle performed me-
chanically by sacrificing him along
Berry moved along on Henley's out and
then Shaw sent a fast one down TO
'Sheehan. which he booted and Berry
came home.
There was not much doing in the
run line In the fifth Slivers Henley
ElL one OF lle lOnSRSl nllS lndI was
ever made in the grounds. Melchior
F: had reached hrst on OIson's error and
was sacrificed along by Berry. Then
Henley came along with a rare old
p swat The ball sailed TO the hagpole
"a nd caromed of the pole. By dint of
~ good felding Ryan manag ged to get the
ball back in time TO hold Henley at
second. Melchior reached home with
:out any trouble
%: In the fifth, for the Beavers, Sheehan
got a hit, but was retired trying to
steal second. Martinke walked and
Speas singled to center. Knapp came
along with a short hit TO center and
~1Iartinke was retired at the plate, when
he tried 10 come home from second on
the hit
=. Henley started off with the wrong
foot In the eighth frame by being too
Eenerous He tossed over four which
Knapp did not think were good and
fhe umpire was Of the same opinion.
Then Ryan took the calcium by crush
ing one OF Henley's curves to a fraz-
zle The horse hide sailed over right
.Geld fence and the score was tied. Then
Fisher followed with a double to make
Things worse. Casey also hit and the
task was UP to Sheehan. Tommy sent
one Of those tantalizing grounders down
TO Shaw, which he booted and Fisher
came home with the winning run.
-. Knapp was satisfied with one run
lead and he was invincible during the
.renainder Of the game. There was
'nsver a time when the Seals looked
. threatening thereafter, as Knapp had
tlleir number. Score:
