In the fourth with men on second and third and. d.none down, two taps to Al Blan- chard and strikeout was the best the rivermen could do. In the sev- cnth they also failed to score, though the bases were loaded.
 f Portland's score came in the first when Olson forced Bransf1eld, then stole second and tailed on Kingston's' double. In the opener, Corbin hit, went to third on Snyders double but was nipped at the plate when Wojak grounded to third. Barnett scored Snyder with a double. In the fourth Huber beat out a bunt, took second on Preisser's sacrifice and scored on q sacrifice by Clinton and a hit by Berg. Doubles by Blanchard, Huber and Preisser coupled with an error and some bad judgment gave Corbin four more in the fifth. Hits by Cor bin and Blanchard, with more errors, put across another in the sixth. A triple by Preisser and the squeeze play added another run in the seventh.
