Although outhit by the Portland club yesterday afternoon, the Vernon Tigers left the Vaughn-street park at the end or the seventh inning with another Wd of Beaver meat under their belts. The score was 4 to 2. The Beavers made seven hits against six for the southerners. IMinrir Portland's half of the sixth J. Pluvjus must have become "peeved at the pepless Beaver crew for he ordered that the -nark be snrinkleH I Miring the first half of the seventh the rain fell a trifle heavier and when the Portland club had been retired in its half of this inning Umpire Doyle caneri a halt on the proceedings on ac count of darkness and rain. Allen Sothoron for Portland really outpitched the veteran. Jack. Quinn, last year with Baltimore. Vernon scored in the second fourth and seventh innings. In the second. Haley as the first man up walked. He stole second and went to third when Fishers throw went wild to the right or second base. Daley scored when Don Rader chopped one to Guisto. Tliter Bunch Hit. The visitors increased the lead in the fourth. Risberg clicked one between left and center field. Ray Bates singled sharply to center field and the "Swede" took third. Daley dumped one to Guisto who tagged Pete and Bates took second. Mattick hit one at Bill stumpf which was t"o hot for Billyum to handle and a pair of tallies chased home. Just for good measure the Tigers put one more over in the seventh. Mat tick, first up hit a hot one which Ktght rielder Nixon gathered on the first hop. Rader singled in the same ppot. Mattick taking second. The pair punei orr a double steal, Mattick scoring and Rader taking third on Fishers low throw to second which got through Captain Vaughn. . Portland's only scoring and two tal lies came in the fourth. Louis Guisto hit one up against the center-field fence for two sacks. Fisher whanged one down the third-base foul line which scored Louie, but Gus was held at first. Stumpf clouted one to cen ter. fisher taking third. Right here btumpr railed to figure the old per centage ana tried to steal second with r Isher on third. one run already scored and no one out. Bert whaling threw him out a mile, and Kisher did not have enough lead to make an effort to score on the return throw. This was the worst inning that Quinn experienced. il promptly walked " ra. Sothoron chopped one in front of the pitcher, whose throw to second pulled Rader off of the bag. This filled the bases, with only one down, and things looked rosy for Portland. Wilie could do no better than to clip the bal in iront or yumn. who threw to Vi haling, forcing Fisher out at th Plate. WnaliBfr'M Krror Coats Ram. The Beavers might not have scored second- tally had not Whaling thrown the ball 10 feet to the left of iirst base in an effort to make a dou Me play by catching Denny at first- ward scored on this error, the only one p'Mita oy me ligers. The only other good chance the Beav ers had was in the third inning, when muy souinworlh struck out with three on the sacks and two out. The Beav ers nan less pepper yesterday than did the feellwood club of the City League season. i ney had a chance to win t ail times, but still there was noise made by the infielders. .Manager nam Patterson was ejected by L'mpire Doyle in the third for kick ing too strenuously. The southern ht tery kicked at a couple of balls called on -tsiny .vixon. and Ham was taking their part when he was ouster! terday. It was ladies' day and there were approximately 400 of the fair sex on hand. This would make the total attendance about 1300. The fans are losing interest in the club and unless Manager Walter McCredie throws some ginger into them and bolsters up his battery staff the attendance will be still smaller. Denny Wilie was caught between first and second yesterday on a half balk by Pitcher Quinn. Walt McCredie protested, but to no avail. A thunder storm broke right after the game was called and the crowd was kept standing in the grandstand for about 20 minutes before hardly anyone would venture to a street car. Some got pretty wet getting to the cars. Several bolts of thunder were heard and lightning flashed. m Otto Hess and Roy Mitchell were warmed up when the Beavers were getting to Quinn in the third, fourth and seventh innings. .
