PORTLAND AGAIN;
DOINGS ARE WEIRD
Beavers Help Defeat Themselves
4 To l; Rogan HurIS a
Good Game
BY ANDREW FARRELL

.. In an in.and.out game, married by
bad play but featured by some fin"
work, the rwenty.ffth Infantry de-
feated the Portland Beavers at Scho,
field yesterday afternoon, 4 to !. or
three games played the soldiers have
taken two. Errors, bases on balls and
balk figured in the Twenty fifth 5
runs. Rogan pitched pretty gnmc,
holding the Beavers to four hits and
tanning seven, but he came within an
ace Of losing In the ninth, when the
bases were filed with one down. Moore
took hot line drive from Fisher 8 bat
for the third out. The hit looked like
three Dagger at least.
In headwork the Beavers were dis
tinctly off color. Pitchers HigbeC and
Schatzlein were the principal offenders.
Offsetting this was some fast fielding
by First Baseman Hawkins of the
Twenty.ffth, Third Baseman Pinelli Of
the Beavers, Left Fielder Wolfer of the
Beavers and Right Fielder GOliah Of
the Twenty.ffth.
The Beavers scored first, getting one
run in the second. Williams hit high
bounder over second and went to third

Stumpfis pretty single to left. StumPf
stole second but the next three men
went out in order.

Two Down and Bases Full
The ninth gave enough thrills for the
whole game. Rodgers led of with a
single through the infeld. Williams
waited for four wide ones. Rogan was
shaky, although he made Stumpf fly to
Smith. Wolfer singled to right, filling
the bases. Marshall batted for Pinelli,
who had famed three Zines, but he
also famed. With two down and the
bases full, Fisher batted for o 'BTien.
Moore was out of position, being al,
most on top of third, and needed only
two steps to get in front of Fisher 5
screaming drive. Except for this,
which was luck or unusually clever
playing for the batter, the Beavers
probably would havo tied the score
then and there.
Sticks the FIRST One Over
+ Rogan had good head yesterday.
Three times of four the first ball to
the batter was straight as a string, over
the heart of the plate, and the Beav'
crs, mistakenly waiting him out, found
themselves in hole. He had plenty
Z of curves and worked the corners well
but q change of pace would have helped
him a lot Except for their wildness
aud errors, the Beavers pitchers
showed we'll, and they were not hit
hard, RORan 5 two smoking fouls being
the only long drives. Tenner did not
use speed, as Higbee and Schatzlein
did, but served up slow wide curves
which gavo the Wrcckers trouble, al
though they did get two hits in the
eighth with two down. There were no
extra. base hits.
The score:
