Roy Brown's superb pitching, co-ordinated with some tall batwork by Kores and Lober, Rave Portland its third victory of the week over Sacra mento today. Score: Portland 6, Sac ramento 0. The hits were 10 for Port land, four for the Senators. For five Innings Brown and Arellanes battled nip and tuck and then the Beavers fell upon the Spaniard for five hits'amd ive runs in a lump. . Brown, Doane and Ryan filled the bases on singles. With two out, Kores laced a single into- center, scoring: Brown and Doane, and Elmer Lober thereupon dropped a home run over the right field fence, tallying two ahead of him, and clinching matters. Later on. In the ninth Inning,? Kores doubled to deep center and Lober scored him with his third hit of the ladies' day matinee, so, the Portland scoring was much a matter of Kores and Lober all through. Brown Proves to Be Star. Today was Brown's first tryout In the Coast League and the little spit baller showed himself a star in any department. Only four hits did the Wolves gather off his damp thrust de livery, and, two of them were infield scratches to shortstop. ' The diminutive Cedar Rapids right hander worked carefully on every bat ter, relying mainly, upon his spitter. Except for the first inning, when he walked two men, his control was nigh perfect. That was the only inning in which ' the Wolves got more than one man on the bags, and Haworth minim ized the danger by nabbing Moran at third base. Brown also lived up to his reputa tion as a slugger by securing two hits and a walk in three times up. In the seventh he drove the ball over the right field fence, but it fell foul by two feet. He singled on the next pitched ball. Brown's Error Is Fluke. Manager McCredte said tonight that Brown would be another Gene Krapp, minus the wildness. His one error to day was a fluke. Roy made, a quick throw to second to catch Sriinn and the balj hit the speedy right gardener and caromed off,, giving him another base. Haworth caught a greatly improved game over yesterday's. Fisher's fin ger is mending rapidly and he may re ceive Higginbothain tomorrow. Either Klawitter or Slagel will be Wolverton's choice.
