SENATORS
TIE GIANTS
FOR PENNANT
TEN TO EIGHT GAME Is FULL OF
SENSATIONAL PLAYS - NEXT
GAME AT SALEM GROUNDS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

The Senators yesterday tied the
Giants for the pennant in a game
that was replete with sensational
plays. Although IA errors were
marked up, nine for the Giants and
five for the home team, swell field
ing by both teams left the outcome
in doubt until the last inning. Three
more games are now necessary in
order to decide the Valley champion
ship, the best two out Of three to
take the pennant. The next game
will be played on the Salem grounds
next Sunday afternoon.
Although Manager Hunt an
nounced Friday that he would use
Winterbottom, who has "closed" sew
eral games for Nick Williams in
Portland the last few weeks, the Gi-
ants manager failed to secure the
big league aspirant at the last mo-
ment, and Holmes and White and Al
legaert and Baker did the battery
work in yesterdays contest,
The first accident in the league this
season occurred yesterday when
Field Captain Porterfield OF the SEN
atOrs, was put out of commission for
a few minutes when his head struck
the ground at the home plate in Sa-
lem's half of the first. Although
hitting his head hard crack on the
ground, the plucky third baseman
was quickly revived and remained in
the game. The position at third
base, which he covers like veteran,
would have suffered had he been
knocked out permanently.
Instead of hitting the ground" as
POrteraeld usually does In his clever
sliding work, he had both feet off the
ground in this instance, and in land
ing on his back, HIS head struck the
hard ground at the home bag.
