By Joseph MURPHY

Tie fans who 5ourneyed to Recrea-
tion park Yesterday got a sample of
the true art OF pitching. The demon
strstor was no less a parsonage than
Lefty Gregg. tho iankH of side shooter,
1ziaom McCredie pays d monthly stipend
70 make batters look foolish. Gregg
earned his salary Yesterday, and if he
keeps mp the good work the western
fans are not likely to see this young
man here after the end OF the season.
This Young Beaver gave about as
pleasing an exhibition of what can be
done with a sphere as has been seen
on the local lot this season, and he
used Il Seals TO demonstrate upon.
Mohler used an his available timber
and smaH boy in The bleachers suG-
EeSted that he ght utilize Danny
Long, since the working players were
failures
II WAS sad to watch the champions
hest sWatsNen make themselves look
ridiculous tr3inE To find Gregg's be
EffIderinS assortment. He curled them
over from all sides. and 10 Of the Seals
ruf7ed Ihe atmosphere in their vain
zofforts to locate the bail.
It was thorough lathering of
white for the Seals with all the hon
ors going to Gregg. He was given
good support but lie made the chances
easy for the delders.
The Portlanders seem to have hit
their stride. for they are now going
along like a bunch of champs" They
seem to be able 10 swipe the bah at
tile right time, for another home run
came along Yesterday at the most op-
perfume moment Speas dumped the
ball out of the lot in the second frame
l-.aa4 rr-s7.
TWAS = TIMELY RAP
II was timely rap. for after that
hit. Sutor. who was doing the fling
ing for tie Seals. pitched a mastery
game and held tho visitors in check
during the remainder of the affray. He
was taken out OF Ibe game in the ninth
frame 10 allow Easterly to swat for
MIN. The change was rather costly,
as Miller went in and was touched up
for four bingles in the deciding inning,
but it made no difference. as the Sea Is
9rere never able to get in tie going.
The opening frame had passed when
.Sleehan ushered la the second inning
with a healthy double TO deep center.
TT was ilere that Speas, according to
baseball dope, an ordinary hitter, caused
= big surprise by Slamming the horse
hide ont Of the lot and putting Sutor
I'M bole: Harry did not give up. but
kept on plugging away and his work
5n the. succeeding innings was gilt
edged.
Tire game developed into real
pitchers battle after the second frame
and the honors were nearly even, but
CireSS's work was far more spectacular,
as he struck out le of the champions
Iu seven frames. Sutor himself Whitfield
six Of the visitors.
Mohler did everything lac knew to get
q way with the honors. He used nearly
every man on his staff TO change the
aspect. but Gregg had their numbers.
= he Seals lineup contained II play
CTS, so ii goes TO show that Mohler
tried them all
r.. Miller. who was in the clubhouse
" Changing his clothes was yanked out
i nd made TO do box duty in the ninth.
He. was as cold as q sin fizz when he
) AVant on the hill, and the Beavers lost
uo..time in showing him UP.
SPEAs USES WILLOW
~: Casey singled to left and Sheehan
helped him along with well placed
sacrifice. Then Speas showed more bat
ting ability by hitting to center.

throw In McArdle booted Murray s
sgrounder and Speas crossed the plate.
Gregg hit and Ryan followed with a
sizzling double, which allowed Murray
to cross, but Gregg was nipped at the
