One turgid wallop by Arthur Korea, a respected citizen of Milwau kee. Wis., defeated Sacramento 1-0 in the second game of the 1914 Pacific Coast season. The hit was sufficient. ' It sailed for a sizzling home run in side the park, and broke up as brilliant a twirling duel between West and Stroud as one could hope to muster in a year's travel from Bankok to Bir mingham and back again. Score: Portland 1, Sacramento 0. Twq men were out and the score was 8-0 in the first of the ninth when the Dutchman strode to tho plate. Twice he had fanned before, but this time the hard-hitting- third baseman braced his slightly bowed legs, took one hasty sight at a fast one and laced it on a line far out to the outer works, midway between Left Kielder Schweit zer and Moran in center. Kores Brats Ball to Plate. Like a sepulchral echo from Torreon. the ball came hurtling back to the home plate too late to do any good .for the Wolverton cause. Korea had crossed the plate two seconds before and had chalked up for Walt Mc t'redie's champions the second straight win of the series.. The Dutchman's was a mighty poke, but we must not forget the masterful pitching of both slabsters. Hi West and Italph Stroud. West, of course, is en titled to most credit of the two. He pitched a. resourceful, brainy, well nigh perfect battle. The Senators swung vainly at his curves and fast ones alike. So ably did Hi mix them that only four hits were made against him in the nine innings, and one of those was a tiny, skinny, insignificant bunt. "Goshamity" and a couple . of "phews!" How the bix ex-Cleveland right-hander did stand the Sacrament, ans on their heads! Two or three times Hi found himself struggling in deep water, through his walks or breaks in the defense, and on those occasions the master mind could be best discerned working in all its splen dor. In the ninth the Wolves had men on first and second, from a hit and Davis' error, but West forced Schweit zer to fly out to short, thus ending the excitement. Davis offset by a brilliant stop in the sixth inning. Huddy Ryan. Doane and Lober again featured in Portland's batting. The two gardeners garnered two apiece off Stroud, who was dented for seven hits. Haworih Makes) Showing:. Buddy worked all the way to third In Ihe seventh inning on a single to right, Kores' sacrifice and a wild piteh, and then he died there. Lober and Derrick could not bring him in. In the ninth Buddy opened with a lino drive against the right field fence, but was caught at second on a perfect throw by Shinn. McCredie tried out his young back stop. Homer Haworth. and he gave a good account of himself. There was a slight hesitancy about his throwing that needs manicuring, yet Haworth did remarkably well for a debut. He nabbed three men in six attempts at thievery. Gus fisher may be out a couple of days with a dislocated finger received in the opener. The weather was cool and the gloomy day cut the crowd to a bare 1500. Score: Tortland Sacramento - H H O A F. 3 0 lUO Poane.r. . Pavih.s . .

T.OS ANGKLE3, Cal., April 1. (Spe cial.) Jack Ryan, never better in his life, was too much for Devlin's hustl , ing band of baseballers today, and the fans were treated to a real ball game for so early in the season. The score amo out 2 to 0. thus giving Ryan the first shutout on the home grounds. Only Qulnlan and Hetling were able to get their eyes on Jack's mystifiera, and they but for singles which did not get a man anywhere near home. Killiluy pitched a game that would - win for him nine times out. of ten. but this happened to be the tenth, and with practically no support in the way of base hits, he faced a forlorn hope throughout. Only in the seventh could Dillon's men get two together. In this frame young Harper sent a neat single into left and then Johnson immediately followed with a long drive to the right field fence for a triple, sending the busher in. The other triple miide off Killilay came in the first frame. Maggert. first 'in. rapped one to the score board, but T had to linger on third until Wo'.ters ' fte- out to Qtilnlnn before he could get in.
