BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
Before 3000 wild-eyed, yelling; fans
the Beavers and Angels broke even In
yesterday's double-header, which rave
the Angels the deciding game of the
series of five games.
J Hi I jr uuruuci, uit nuuiou nil i"
bean, was the whole show in the first
contest, which the Beavers won, 2-0.
He pitched airtight ball, allowing the
Angels only two scratch infield hits.
Not an Angel reached second. In only
' two of the nine innings did more than
three men face him.
Crandall, who opposed Gardner,
pitched great balL After the first.
wnen ne auowea one nit, ne neia me
Beavers hitless until the eighth, when
they managed to garner three safe
clouts and a base on balls for two
runs.
WHIe Makes First Score.
It looked as though the game would
go into extra innings until the eighth,
when "Wilie, the first man up, walked.
Siglin bunted in front of the plate and
Crandall fell all over himself trying
to field it. When he pulled himself
together Wilie was on second and the
scorer credited Siglin with a bit. Wilie
and Siglin advanced on Baldwin's out.
Harry Gardner, the pitching hero,
singled to left, scoring Wilie, Siglin
pulling up at third. Farmer singled to
center, scoring Siglin.
Sensational fielding featured both
games and the fans were generous
with their applause. Farmer twice
faced over the foul line back of third
1 . Y. ...... .1 t n nnnKsa whlih InnbaH
Impossible. Siglin made a beautiful
one-hand spear of Bole's drive and
-threw the Angel catcher out at first.
There were no stolen bases in the
- first battle. Gardner retired two An
"gels via the strike-out route and did
' not issue a base on balls. Farmer's
muff of Crandall's easy fly was the
"only boot of the game.
' Browa Turns Tables.
With Curly Brown on the mound the
- Angels proceeded to polish off the
' Beaws in the second and deciding
. game of the series. The Angel south-
paw let the Beavers down with four
hits, struck out five and had perfect
'' control. The Angels got to "Lefty"
V James. In the second for two hits,
. which netted the only tally of the
- game.
With Meusel out of the way Fournler
hlt one over second, which Rodgers
f tried hard to get, but which rolled to
- center field. Hollocher covered second,
but while Williams, in center, was tell
ing a fan in the bleachers a funny
story and paid no attention to the ball.
Holly raced out after it. In the mean
time hnn rn it- nuiien 1 1 1 m i tccuiiu.
" Fournler went to third , on Ellis' out
and scored on Bassler's single to left.

NOTES OF THE GAME.
McCredle snt Xe up to bat In tbe clrtitn
for Lefty Jami. but the best he could do
was to fan. The Angel pitchers discovered
Lee's weakness a, curved ball. In Satur
day's double-header they curved him to the
bench Xour times.
The Beavers and Angels played fire of
the hardest fought games seen here this
season. Every game was a pitcher's battle.
The Seaver twlrlers seem to be going good.
and witn a iittie iuck tney anouia win
of tener.
Earl Pheely, Salt Lake first-sacker, sat In
the press box and viewed the battle. He Is
on his way to San Francisco to join the
Bees. Salt Lake plays San Francisco start
ing tomorrow, and as both teams are fight
ing for the lead, it ought to be m, battle
royal. Sheely will add strength, to the
Mormon tribe.
Hoack went tn to pitch for James In the
ninth. Houck had no trouble. Meusel re
tired via the infield route. Fournler fanned.
After walking Ellis. Houck caught him off
first with a quick throw to Orlggs.
In th sixth Inning of the first rime
Farmer was safe at first on a fielder's
cheice. He strayed away from the bag too
far and Boles threw quick to Fournler.
Farmer got back ahead of the ball, but
Fournler tagged him while ho was switching
his feet on the bag. It was a catlike move
both on the- part of Fournier and Umpire
Krr- ...
The Angels left last night for home, where
they meet Vernon.
'PINKIE' WRIGHT IS NEAR-HERO
Lincoln Student in Canoe Crasb Is
Hurled in Late, but Not so Girl
"Pinkie" "Wright, Lincoln gridiron
star, almost qualified as a hero yes
terday while the Lincoln seniors were
enjoying an afternoon at Oswego Lake.
Canoes occupied by Miss Esther Mc-
Guire and Wright collided, throwing
the Lincoln captain into the lake. For
a few thrilling seconds it looked, as
though Miss McOuire's boat would cap
size, and. as it was known that she
could not swim, her classmates ex
pected "Pinkie to have to do the res
cue act.
However, only Wright was thrown
into the water and he swara ashore

Exit the Angels welcome the Oaks.
The Angels left last night for a
seven-game series with the Vernon
Club at Los Angeles. Del Howard and
his Oaks will arrive tomorrow from
the south for a seven-game series with
the Beavers. Howard's men took a
double-header from the Seals yester
day, which gave them the series.
...
Five out of the seven games played
between the Seals and Oaks were won
by a lone run:
Tuesday, Oaks S, Seals 4.
Wednesday, Oaks 4. Seals 3.
Thursday. Oaks 3, Seals 5.
Friday. Oaks '.' K.al. a
6aturday, Oaks 1, Seals 2.
Sunday A. M., Oaks 3, Seals' 1.
Sunday P. M., Oaks 2, Seals 1.
That the Oaks have taken a new
lease on life is forecast by their se
ries Just closed with Hen Berry's men.
Dei Howard always manages to in
ject "pep" into them when they hit
the trail against the Beavers.
Howard's pitchers are working nice
ly. "Speed" Martin will be with the
Oaks on this trip north. This will
nyike his first visit to Portland this
season. Krause, Kremer, Prough,
Goodbred comprise the rest of the Oak
hurlers.
If rain should prevent the playing
of any game during the week a double-header
will be staged Saturday.
Walter McCredie's forecast of prob
able pitchers for the next day's game
is about as reliable as Doc Cook's story
of his discovery of the North Pole. He
hasn't guessed correctly in any game
this week excepting the opener against
the Angels. From now on we will at
tempt to "clock" the hoys ourselves,
even though we do "boot" one every
now and then.
A San Francisco writer takes delight
in wasting type to tell the natives of
his home town how McOredie will run
his club next year. He has Bill Rodg
ers fired on account of the high sal
ary our fiery captain " is receiving. A
busher named Armstrong is going to
take Hollocher's Job at short. Lee will
supplant Fisher, and Art Griggs will
stick around first because McCredie
needs the services of one "real" ball
player. If said writer would only delve into
the sacred sanctum of his files he
would find out that what youngsters
McCredie went into San Francisco and
took from under the very nose of the
writer, "young" ballplayers have made
good in most cases.
Harry Heilmann, ex-Portland Colt,
is now a star with Detroit; Al Walters
is now a New York American catcher
and a wonderful prospect; Ralph Pin
elll, now with the Beavers, is an
other youngster from San Francisco
who has a brilliant future.
Go ahead and rave, old boy. Mc
Credie doesn't-wear any medals for
telling all hej 'knows about baseball
to newspapermen, but he won enough
pennants to lay off for a few years,
and we have all Winter to think of
