BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
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

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.
Instead the executive committee of
the association suggested that Sat
urday, May 26, be set aside for the
holding of a special patriotic and ath-
etic demonstration by the athletes of
the various members of the association
subject to the approval of the Secretary
of war. 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.
The committee also prepared a reso
lution requesting all college athletes
with the Army or Navy to foster health
ful sports and amusements in accord
ance with these expressed plans in this
direction of both arms of the service.

GUMS' LEAD CUT DOWN
LEADERS IN BOTH LEAGUES KIND
GOING HARD DURING WEEK.
American Leagnera Evenly Matched
Except For Cleveland and Phila
delphia Teams.
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.
