Portland and San Francisco might Just as well have quit after one inning of their opening ball fracas yesterday. The score at the close -of the initial stanza stood 5-1 in Portland's favor and that is how it ended, inasmuch as Byron Houck pitched rings around three Peal twirlers "Indian" Smith, Olaf Erlckson and "Indian" Johnson. The Beavers greeted the first big redskin. Lou Smith, with a veritable barrage fire of base knocks. Six lurid swats scrambled in and interwoven with wild heaves by Smith and Charley Pick in the first Inning chased so many of the home guard around the bases that some of the "boys nearly sprung Charley horses. "Indian" Smith Bumped. Jerry Downs, who manages the Seals now that Wolverton has nothing to do but draw salary, yanked Smith before the finish of the tempestuous first frame. Erlckson pitched air-tight ball until the eighth when Calvo batted for him. "Chief Johnson, the big aborig ine recently acquired by the Seals from Vernon, twirled the final inning. Byron Houck's superb pitching and the highly sensational fielding of Denny Wilie out in the left garden featured the sunny day pastime. They were sort of co-related. With Dennie's as sistance on three or four occasions, Byron was enabled to hold the league leaders to a scrimpy four safe hits. Houck seems to be fully Justifying the confidence placed in him by his friends, for he has been pitching won derful ball the last several weeks. Seals Attempts Flivver. It wasn't in the cards for the Peals to win. Everything they tried fliv vered. If red hair was selling at $66,- 402 a cubic yard, Jerry Downs' would have fallen out or turned to pink. Jer emiah hit a line drive over second base in the first inning that ordinar ily would have been safe. Siglin hap pened to be covering and speared it. Downs later hit a ball that missed the left field home run boundary by 10 Inches. To cap the afternoon of misfits and misfortunes, Jerry pulled a "skull" in the ninth inning. Downs was on deck to bat when Maisel struck out. The pitch went wide and Fisher managed only to knock it down under Downs hoofs. The obliging Seal manager there upon scooped it up and handed said sphere to Fisher, amidst loud guffaws in the stands for Umpire Finney lm mediately called Maisel out. Wllle's Hit Scores Two. The Seals scored their one run in the first inning on a double to left by Pick and Schallera single to right. Hollocher opened for the Beavers by walking. Pinelli bunted and advanced to second on Smith's overthrow to first. Wilie scored both of them with a Texas league two-bagger over third base. After Williams' oat, Borton lined a single to right, scoring Wilie. Griggs made his bow as a Beaver by doubling to left, scoring a moment later on Pick's wild chuck to second base to catch Siglin. Siggy registered the fifth and final tally on Fishers eingl through short. About 1200 fans were otit.

YOUTHS TENNIS STARS A1LEV nOFMAKX AND KENNETH SMITH WIN DOUBLES TITLE. Victory Over Johnson and House Easy and Great Future Is Predicted for loDDSMlers. . Allen Hofmann and Kenneth Smith yesterday defeated Everett Johnson and H. S. House, 6-4, 6-2, 6-0, and won the doubles title of the annual Spring handicap tournament at the Irvington Tennis Club. These two youngsters were never in danger, playing a wicked driving game and taking advantage of every easy drive offered by their opponents. Both youngsters have been playing a wonderful game of tennis, and if they keep their pace up there will be no telling where they will end. They look like championship class already. Both are built for the tennis game and both have made a record already in play. Great things seem in prospect for the Irvington Club's youthful talent devel oped already this season. Of course, Johnson and House, ex perienced men, were playing under i heavy handicap, but the youngsters might have made a good showing de spite thi& Willioit Goes to Pirates..- PITTSBURG. July 10.
