SACRAMENTO. Cal., April 1. (Spe
cial.) 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:

1os Anaoles, Winning 2 to 0, Gives
I'ans Ileal Ciunie to Sec.
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. These two runs were absolutely
ail the chances either team had vf
i scoring.
I Qninlan and Helling- were Ihe only
i Oaks to get on flre.t. the others either
popping out or sending weak effoits
to the iufielders. Ryan didn't walk a

Waddell n as generally considered
the greatest southpaw In the business
when at his best. He was with the
Louisville team under Fred Clarke
when the National League waa out
from t a 13 to an eight-club circuit.
Clarke, Hans Wagner. Waddell and
others were transferred to Pittsburg.
Waddell Jumped to the Los AnKolea
outlaws In 1902 and then1 Joined Phila

League waa formed, and assisted Con
nie Mack in winning several pennants.
Mack was the only man who could
successfully handle him, and after bis
career In the majors was ended he
drifted to the Minneapolis American
Association club and from there fur

Baaebalt Career Lorng.
George Edward Waddell, one of the
greatest pitchers, was noted nearly as
much for his eccentricities a's for his
ability as a ball player. In the 17 years
he spent in professional baseball, he
held positions with 12 teamn. and In
cluding "return engagements," had four
Jobs. IIU longest term of service waa
with the Philadelphia Americana,
where, under the watchful eye of Con
nie Mack, he pitched winning ball for
a half dozen seasons,
Waddsll'a inability to keep in condi
tion discouraged most other manager
and was indirectly responsible for hie
contracting tuberculosis, which caused
his death. There was no better pitch
er than Waddell when ha waa in form,
but he. as well aa managers and club
owners, was aware of his powerlessness
to resist temptation. As a result of Ma
weakness, the largest salary he ever re
ceived waa $3000 a year. That he got
from the Athletics, with the stipula
tion. It is aaid. that be must keep tn

Waddell shared with Robert Glade
tho strikeout record of tile American
League. On July 24. 10. while pitch

Waddell lulled the Chicago Nation

next season he was released to New
