The Chinese had men on bases in
every other inning, but could not
score. Three men on in the eighth
and two in the ninth failed to produce
a run.
Crumpler showed enough to entitle
him to a heap OF credit. and when il
was suggested in the Star Bulletin that
Crumpler would help the Chinese

all kinds Of questions about the south
side HEAVIER after he had pitched few
innings. Crumpler is going TO be a
star some day, but he will have to
learn how to pitch with men on bases.
He gave about the best exhibition OF
pitching that has been seen here in
some time.

OF nine runs.
Penner and Bigbee are the first
pitchers in a training camp to pitch
a full game, according to the Portland
men, and McCredie believes that this
climate has been responsible for it.
Penner is expected 70 be enc of the

McCredie thinks that the local arbiter

in trainina camp and when he goes
to the coast viii It'll Baum where he
can find real umpire. One of the
Portland boys has already recon-
nlended the local arbiter to the presi-
dent of the Northwestern League.
