The hustling Portland Beavers,
strengthened by requirements from
the Philadelphia Athletics when
replacements were needed and just
half-game behind the top bracket
Sacramento club, will play another
series at home this week.
The Mission Reds will provide
meat expected to fatten the Beav-
ers. Spencer Abbot recently re-
ceived Tony Freitas, southpaw who
went to the Athletics from Sac
ramento, and can use him nicely.
Portland has started its real drive
to repeat its pennant victory of
1882.
Sacramento, the surprise club of
the league, has clung tenaciously
to the lead for considerable time
and Lew Moreing thinks his or
ganization is sound enough to keep
on clinging. The Senators open a
series at Seals stadium. San Fran
cisco, tonight. The Seals have not
been formidable, but completely
reversed their form last week in
winning five of seven from Oak
land, while Sacramento dropped a
4 TO 3 series decision to Los Angeles.
Los Angeles and Hollywood will
probably remain within striking
distance of the leaders this week.
The Angels will again be on their
home lot, with Oakland opposing.
Hollywood goes to Seattle.
