San Francisco got away with the odd Came of the series yesterday by defeat ing the Portland Beavers, 9-5, in a rain splattered matinee that was amazing in the quality of pitching exhibited. Some of the pitchers looked as if they had been practicing a week. Walter McCredie used four of them Penner, licake, Harrington and Fitzpatrick and they kept getting worse instead of bettor. Besides trotting out two new twirl ers Southpaw Harrington and Right hander Fitzpatrick McCredie intro duced to about 3000 hardy fans a new catcher in Louis Sepulveda, former Seal. Louie's debut proved about as cheer ful as a function in a cemetery. His former teammates seemed to be trying to show him up. for they stole a total of 13 bases during the two hours and 20 minutes of bogged baseball. Some of these thefts were due to rleepyheadedness on the part of the pitchers Harrington, for instance but Kepulveda had himself to blame for a number of them. Once in his hurry ho overthrew second, but his boot cost nothing. Sepulveda has a great arm, however, and if his pitchers hold runners reason ably close to the bases, there'll be no more romping around the bags such as amused the railbirds yesterday. San Francisco's pitching was about as bad as Portland's. Southpaw O'Doul, a Bayslde rookie, starred the game, op posed to Iven Penner, and, when Wol verton beckoned him to the rathskel ler at the start of the fifth inning, lie had walked five men. The score then stood 3-3. Penner was yanked at the same time, with a wake of hlx hits in his four frames. Leake followed Penner and lasted two innings. Walt McCredie shot Southpaw Har rington into the box score in the sev enth, and the ex-Denverite lived up to his name, "Wild Bill." After four walks and a couple of two-base swats, netting two runs. Scotch Mac request ed Harrington to take his shower bath and young Fitzpatrick, of Santa Clara College, was sent out to wiggle his right wing around in the center of the diamond. Downs single, a wild pitch and a double steal of the home plate helped the Seals to their final tally during Fitzpatrick's incumbency. Stealing home on the Beavers seems to have become a habit. Three times during the week the visitors have worked this same thingamabob. Walt McCredie should give the boys a lit tle military drill on how to stop the opposing clubs from pllJering the home sack. The Beavers seem to wait too long before throwing home. Portland also tried this little stunt once yesterday, but Jerry Downs made Jack Farmer look like a steam roller. And Farmer can hit the high spots to some extent, too. Farmer enjoyed a field day yester day. In four times at bat the big ex Pittsburger obtained three hits and a walk. One of his blows was a ripping two-bagger into left, scoring a runner in the seventh. Farmer also drove in Kodgers with the first run of the game in the initial inning. The Seals tope off no fewer than six two-base larrups, Koerner grabbing two of them. All in all, it was a. alow, tiresome, listless affair, played for the most part In the rain and mud and in weather cold enough to bring out gooseflesh on an iron zebra. - One would have to conscript about two columns of space, more valuable for spud planting and war news pur poses, to tell all the sordid details of the scoring. The Seals left last night for home to prepare for the Angels. The serie ended three games for the Seals, two SPALDING'S Championship Hard Court Tennis Balls Again adopted by the U. S. N. L. T. A.

PHILADELPHIA MEET OFF PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION TO BE HELD INSTEAD MAT 20. Intercollegiate Association o Amateur Athletes of America to Aid Red Cross Work. PHILADELPHIA, April 29. For the first time in more than 40 years there will be no championship track and field meet this season for the Inter collegiate Association of Amateur Ath- etes of America.

The receipts would be donated to the American Red Cross. The committee has outlined a tenta tive programme for the demonstration to consist of athletic competitions, spe cial military drills and other exhibi tions in keeping with the patriotic spirit of the times. - No further action will be taken, .however, until formal approval has been received from Secre tary Baker, as it is expected that a ma jority of the athletes will be under the control of the War Department before the end of May, through enlistment or otherwise.

NEW YORK. April 29. Leaders in the Major League pennant races found the going hard the last week, with New Tork challenged for the National League championship by St. Louis and Chicago and Boston fighting hard for nrsi place in the -American. Except for Cleveland and Philadelphia, in the American, the big league teams were about evenly matched. Six In the Na tional and four in the American, broke even on games won and lost. Incle ment weather caused the postponement of 13 games in the two leagues. New York's lead in the National was cut down during the week, as McGraw's men could only break even on the four games played. The temoorarv aharnra of Herzog and Zimmerman, the leading batsmen, probably affected the leaders. St- Louis broke even in four games with Pittsburg, two of which went ten innings. The Cardinals appear to' be playing better ball than any of the Western teams. Cincinnati was the only National League team to win more games than it lost. Philadelphia was the best performing team in the American League, winning three out of four games. Chicago failed to keep up its previous good pace and lost three games In a row to Cleve land. The leading Eastern teams. Boston and New York, each broke even on four games. BEAN BALL GRY ARISES MAYS ACCUSED OF DELIBERATE ATTEMPTS TO INJURE. Dutch Leonard. Another Red Sox Twlrler, la Addicted to Use of "Beaner" aa Well. Once more the old cry against the beaning proclivities of the Red Sox pitchers is heard throughout the land. Ever since Carl. Mays. ex-Portland Colt, dropped Outfielder Thrasher for a long count at Philadelphia some few days ago. the Mackmerf and their leader have insisted that Mays took deliberate aim at his victim's head and that the "accident," which might easily have re sulted in serious injury, was in reality a premeditated application of the "dust-'em-off" policy long in vogue among the Boston American siabsters. This is not the first time that Mays has been accused of this sort of thing. More than one American League player has thrown his bat at Mays after Jerk ing his head out of the way of a ball thrown dangerously close to his top piece, and a great many more have threatened to do the same thing under similar provocation. Mays continues to "dust 'em off," Jiowever, and, there Is no particular reason to believe that he will soon abandon his campaign of ruthlessness. Nor is Mays the only Boston pitcher addicted to the use of the "beaner." Dutch Leonard is one of the other of fenders.
