Who -was It hogged tho salvos of the sev eral thousand bugs Who reported at the ball yard to view the fan Francisco mugs? "Who was It that the rooters wanted to em brace In allied hugs? Speasandkrapp. While the hair-raising- Bprint In the Pacific Coast League pennant race re minds of a 100-yard dash between the Broadway bridge and the Yeon build ing, no use denying that Portland Is in first place this morning. Bill Speas turned the trick by singling in the ninth inning yesterday and breaking up a brilliant 0-0 pitching duel between Krapp and Henley. The score was .Portland 1, San Francisco 0. Of course. Venice must be thanked for Its collaboration down south, but the Beavers are entitled to all the glory that can be sprinkled about, be cause their third consecutive rout of the Seals gave them 17 victories in the last 23 games played. After a poor start -the boys are surely setting the trail on fire. Wherefore, gentle muse, bring out the goo bucket and begin by Smearing the kudos of praise on our Mr. Speas, likewise on Bill Lindsay and on little Eugene Krapp. Speas Drive Esds Game. Lindsay is entitled to a few flecks of foam because Bill opened the ninth by singling to centerfleld. Kores sacrificed him to second, and it was from there the southerner scored on Speas' scream ing slash the right field fence. As for Krapp well, sufficient to add that Gene battled toe to toe with the vet eran Cack Henley In one of the most brilliant slabDlng duels of the year, and, when the showdown came. Gene was serenely camped on top of the wreckage. The Seals made only five hits oft the dampball filnger, four of which were infield and rather scratchy, and Port land six bits' off Henley. .'. Mundorff presented Johnston with a hit in the eighth -Inning when he permitted the blonde's, grounder to strike his person. That made the third out, but the rules provide for crediting the batsman with a single. The game was shaky and trembly. all the way through. Krapp had great control, but the Seals' pernicious foul ball habit drew down four walks off his delivery and kept the Beavers in trouble. But the Seals were ' pretty generally In deep water, too, and one' t-ouldn't help comparing the battle to walking a tightrope. Beavers Often In Trouble. . Portland nearly fell off In the sev enth, eighth and ninth stanzas, but at the final test of balance the Seals fell with a terrible crash; frenzied shouts, silliness, sun and peanuts filled the atmosphere, and Manager McCredie threw away a badly masticated score card sacrificed to the excitement of a star-spangled engagement. Captain Rodgers got Krapp in dire trouble in the -seventh by a wide toss to second base, putting two on the bases and nobody out- But the third Bill of the Portland infield showed him self no counterfeit currency by contrib uting a hair-haising double play a mo ment later, when Corhan drove a liner at him, saving the day. Rodgers, ear lier In the game, had robbed Corhan of another hit by a sensational one hand stab in short right field. Portland threatened In the fifth in ning, when Kores and Fisher failed on a double steal home, on perfect play by Catcher Schmidt and Corhan. Again, in the seventh, the Beavers had men prancing on first and third with two out, but Krapp filed to McArdle. "Nemo" Krapp fanned all three men in the second inning. Portland cannot be expected to win all the games and the boys may drop to second place today, but it is this delightful uncertainty of baseball that turns sanity into scrambled brains, and we have had our little crow, anyway.

The teams engaged In a rag-chewing con test at the start of the ninth inning over a decision by Umpire McCarthy. From all ap pearances Hogan struck at a ball served up by Krapp. but Mao called It three balls and one strike instead of two and two Mc Credie raved and tore his hair In vain and Hogan secured free transportation. It got Kugene In a hole, but McArdle. Corhan and Iowns were retired In one-two-three order. Krapp had tough luck In his walk to Schmidt In the third inning. After getting three balls on Schmidt Gene shot two across the plate and followed with five strikes In a row, Schmidt fouling them off. No twirler could keep up that pace and the next ball went wide. The day was good for baseball, but tho crowd not as large as it should have been under the circumstances. Corhan made a beautiful play at second base In the eighth when Doane was out stealing. Corhan took a bad bound with one hand and tagged Doane as nice as you please. Rodgers tried to land a high drive bv McArdle with one hand early In the game and dropped the ball. Even with two hands It would have been a spectacular play, so McArdle was given a hit. Krapp electrified the crowd bv another stellar fielding stunt In the third. He walked the first man up. but retired hlra at second on a perfect bunt. .Johnston and Lober both executed great running catfehea In the outfield. Dec-mnlere or Funning will likelv go In the box today for San Francisco, with West on the firing line for Portland. Sau Francisco Is iu tho throes of a fierce slump. The Seals have lost nine out of the last 10 games, dropping from second to uurin piece in the race. OAKS BTJKX "JINX"; THEN LOSE Senators Win Two Games After Cere mony by Miitze6 Men.
