Collectively speaking, that double header was some feature. It was not on of those narrow, shrunken affairs at which a person haa t confine his attention to one rtr.a. There were two distinct and separate rings, and each was aa entertainment worth the prlca of admission. Brilllaat Plays Jfaay.

HOGAN LEADING STICKER Manager of Tigers Has ATerago of .875 for Week, but Most of His Stan Fell Down Ryan and Rapps Rank High. The Beavers outbatted Happy Ho gan's warriors almost two to one In the four-game series completed yester day, for the Portland team made a grand batting average of .267 for the week, while Vernon hit collectively for the mark of .170. Hogan led tha regular players with an average of .875 for three games, but Buddy Ryan and Bill Rapps, in four games, each achieved up the nice aver age of .364. Bill Lindsay batted .284, at which figure "Ham" Patterson, the Vernon slugger also ended the four game aeselon. The holding of the heavy hitting Vernon team to an average of .170 on the series Is what pulled the Portland team out of second place and shot them above the Tigers. An instance of Vernon's weakness Is shown in the marks made by Stlnson and McDonnell, two of Vernon's hardest hitters. Stln son made one hit in the four games, while McDonnell did not get Into the base-hit column at alL The averages of the two teams for tha week are as follows: Portland. At bat. Hlta.

The heavy-batting proclivities of . the naad-otf men" of the Vernon team kept the crowd on edge throughout, and the trio of runs scored In tke eighth were needed. Benny Henderson had George Stlnson s number" in that first battle, for the big Vernonlte fanned out twice and hit puny rroundera the other two tlmea ha faced the Beaver hurler. When Vernon made those two runs In the third Inning of the second game, Happy shouted: "Well, we'll go back home In the lead, anyway." Poor Hap was "kidded un mercifully when the Beavers tied It up and took the lead. "Roaring BUI" Rapps waa quitea factor In winning yesterday s games. While the gingery first baaeman did not make many hlta his fielding counted largely lg holding the Tigers safe at critical points. Sergeants of Police Burke and Smith were on hand with a half doxen patrolmen and did excellent work In clearing the field and keening back tha crowd which thronged about the playing field. Neat year there will be no crowds on the playing field, for the new park to be built will aaat 15.000 Lindsay will own Portland If he con tinues to Drove the plnch-hltter he haa been In the last few games. Bill won Saturday s came had a lot to do with the first victory yesterday and won the second game with hie club. Wnen Len Burrell opened the ninth of the first game with a bit. Hogan sent Artie Ross In to bat for himself, and Ross forced Burrell at second. Then Hosp batted for Castleton and grounded out to Rappa Then came Carlisle and Kane with two-baggers, and two runs resulted. - The nlnth-lnnlng rally of the Tigers gave the fans nerves a decided shock, for two runs were In and a man on second, with Pattarson the "demon hitter," up. Steen waa on the job. however, and "Ham" sent one down the alley to the pltcter and the game waa over. In spite of the errors he made yesterday.
