Quinn Outpitches Eric.
Olaf Erickson proved unequal to the
task of battling the BoStoneSe at
critical junctures in the forenoon ar
fair. being nicked for costly blows IN
four different rounds. Jack Quinn
yielded bingles that meant runs on
, three occasions, but was effective
enough in the later stages when
hit would have sunk him. This was
particularly true in the eighth. when
with two on and none out he got out
of the hole after purposely passing
charity to fill the bases, by thwart-
ing Manager Milan, who hurled HIM
self into the fray as a pinch hitter.
Again in the ninth Quinn stood the
test. Smith and Peck singled In sue
cesion, but neither Rice nor Shanks
could get a bail out of the infield, and
tally Stan Harris was turned back.
Francis In Fine Form.
Masterful pitching by Francis and
pair of timely bingles by Rice ac-
counted for the coping of the matinee
contest. The Seattle southpaw per
mttted half a dozen blows, but they
were Strung out over as many IN
nings. Bill Piercy, his mound rival,
yielded only five safeties, but TWO

eighth frames. Rice in each instance
providing the scoring punch. 'Sam's
first bingle was three-bagger down
the right field line in the opening
round and came after a double to the
same place by Smith and Peck's sac
rifice. Francis himself paved the way
for the other run in the eighth. when
he hit to left with one gone. Pratts

on second and he scored. after Peek

a safety over the head of Joe Harris

Francis was in danger only twice
