Byron Houck pitched well nigh per fect ball yesterday, while the Beavers .were riding- Oscar Horstman all around the lot and, in consequence. Portland won in easy fashion from the Lios Angeles leaders. Score 6 to 0 . '' Byron was In excellent form and made a tremendous hit with the fair fannettes. He allowed only five hits, scattered liKe policemen all over the township, and not until the ninth in iiinsr did Byron Issue a base on balls. Horstman, on the other hand, was wild, and when he did locate the home plate the Beavers -lambasted the spheroid around the field to a queen's taste. Kenneth Williams bagged three lusty swats and Ivan Howard two, and the rest of the McCredie gang- gobbled enough stray swats to bring the total o 10. Vaughn Cornea Back Stronger. Robert Vaughn, sometimes affection ately referred to as "Comrade" because he goes out in 61 and back In 65 on the golf links, appeared in his accustomed place at third base and showed to rare advantage. Vaughn pulled down a liner by Echultz in the first inning that would have scored two runners had it shot by him and otherwise disported like one jwho wants his Job back. The Beavers negotiated three fancy double plays and the Angels two, Catcher Boles being responsible for both Angelic double killings. His throwing to the bases was a treat to behold. With Evans not in uniform as a result of a slight indisposition, Wilie Was moved up to lead off and the scrappy Dennis began the game' by walking. Vaughn followed suit and Southworth, sacrificed both along by bunting to Schultz. Howard fanned, but Jack Roche whacked a line drive into right field and two runners scored before Frank Chance could say "Fwank Wobinson." In the second the Beavera scored an other run on Williams' two-bagger to right, Horatman's wide throw trying to catch him off second and an infield ut. Howard la Peppery. Not satisfied with this 3-0 arrange ment, the Beavers scored three more in the third, and from that on to the (inish there was nothing doing in the coring line on either side. Vaughn and Southworth opened the third with singles and Vaughn scored on Howard's double against the right field fence. After two outs Williams Bent two more home with a hit to cen .ter. ivan nowsra s pepper and energy have been prime features of the past two or three games. The new first acker has been all over the infild backing up plays at every base and th. fans are with him strong. A double-header will be plaved to Jay. commencing at 1:30 o'clock.
