Houck lost his second game of the series this morning, the Tigers) trouncing him, 5 to 0. A small crowd -witnessed Vernon's afternoon defeat of Portland, 8 to 2. The Beavers got their two runs in the second inning. After that they were unable to do anything further to Decanniere. Reuther blew up and afterward Hagerman similarly was dis posed of. Griggs and Mattlck batted out of turn the first three times up. McGafligan singled in the first, counting on Gleichmann's double and an out. A single by Williams and a brace of doubles by Ward and Evans gave Portland two runs and the lead in the second. It took only a Jiffy for Vernon, to start out In front again. Griggs led off with a double in the last half of the second. He thought it was a triple and would have been out at third had not Evans spilled Ward's relay. Mattick hit him across with a (single and chased to third when Mitze pounded out another safety. This round finished Reuther. Gleichmann got in another blow, counting Chini, before Hagerman could get things un der control. However, that Rip was not a strong enough man for the posi tion became known In the third when Vernon cleaned up three. A walk and a bunch of hits by Bates, Griggs and Decanniere was the power behind thi3 push. Things then remained quiet fn til the eighth, when Vernon availed herself of the opportunity to score two more on McGaffigan's single and fcteal, two-bagger by Gleichmann and an er ror by Ward. In the morning game Hess was en tirely too strong for the Beavers. Houck was wobbly in the third, when the Tigers whacked him for four runs. Two walks and regular knocks by Mitze, Risberg and Bates did the busi- ness. Vernon scored ita fifth run in the fourth when Hess doubled, follow ing an error by Evans. In this inning Jack Roche tried to butt the grandstand down with his head. The experiment was not suc cessful. When Jack finally opened his eyes he fonud the grandstand still there. O'Brien finished the game.
