At Loi Angele Lo Angele 7, Sacra mento 3- BT ROSCOE FAWCSTT. , When a young gent poles a home run and wins a game generally he gets Into the first paragraph, and on this theory that the thing works both ways we herewith present the name of Dave Bancroft as tne -nan who kept the Beavers out of second place in yester day's 2-1 defeat by the Seals. With the score 1-1 in the ninth in ning and two out, Dave grew overanx ious and threw high to first base, there by permitting Tobin to go safe at first and the winning run to score from third in the person of chirpy Charley O'Leary. There was a prodigious amount of panning for sliver-topped Jack McCar thy anent the first-base decision, but it tuck. The umpire ruled that Speas was still in the air when Tobin rubbed his pedal hardware across the stomach of the Initial sack. -Mebbe He Was, Mebbe Not." Mebbe he was; mebbe not. The press box is no place from which to judge first-base decisions; but. at McCarthy was not mobbed, we opine that perhaps Jack was right. The decision that did look musty cropped up in the last of the ninth, when Umpire Held booted a third strike on Bancroft. Evidently It was made In payment for his ram bunctiousness In the McCarthy episode. But here again the arbiter's decision stuck, and Portland found it Impossible to tie the score, despite the introduc tion of a pinch hitter into the fray. Up to the ninth the battle was a remarkable pitching duel between the rival fllngers. Southpaw Evans for Portland and young Standrldge for the Seals. Evans allowed only three hits and Standridge five, so you can judge how skimpy an afternoon it was for the watsmitha. Etui Una Better of UueL Evans had much the better of the argument, digging into plain facts. Time after time Standridge was saved only by the sensational support ac corded him by Schaller, Tobin, Charles and otherB. In the initial inning Schal ler trudged back a block or two. it seemed, and pulled Rodgers' liner out of the ozone, with Bancroft already past second and digging for the home plate. Dave was promptly doubled. To bin pulled the same stunt in the sixth, except that he swept in like chain lightning and grabbed a hit away from Bancroft, doubling Evans. The Seals slipped up on just one fielding feat. Del Howard should have had a hook and ladder brigade sta tioned alongside the right field fence In the sixth. In that frame Elmer Lo ber performed the very estimable act of dropping a home run over the fence. Just when a run was as much in de mand as the train holdup money held by a certain East Oregon Sheriff. Lober's homer tied the score, for the Seals had garnered one in the first half of the Inning. Schmidt opened the sixth with a drive to Bancroft that was chalked up as a hit under the lenient scoring system that makes averages. Stand ridge sent him along on a bunt, both going safe when Evans threw too late to second base. Schmidt scored on 0'Lary'a hit to left. Final Detail Fatal. And now comes the ninth inning de tails and attendant evils. Southpaw Evans slipped his first cog of the aft ernoon, walking O'Leary as first man to face him. Schaller sacrificed the ex-Datroiter to second base; Charles hoofed it to third on Downs fly to Ryan, and he scored when Dave threw high on Tobln's grounder. As a post mortem tip it might have been a very excellent idea to have walked the speed merchant, Tobin. in favor of Charles. But It's all over now. Derrick was out of the game, nurs ing his injured ankle, and Speas played first base. Derrick, it develops was spiked In Friday s game instead of suf fering a sprain. Score: San Franclaco .

''liSSfir 1nK .? aWaMBr ye Creaky e zArsr?c 7& Maneuvering During Playing of Games Interesting. SUPERSTITIONS ARE OUT Irve HigginboUiam Has Deadly Fear of Camera Man on Day He Is to Twirl but Other Days He Is as Tractable as Any Player. Nearly every veteran ballplayer has some idiosyncrasies, and Walter Mc Credie, manager of the four-time Port land champions of the Pacific Coast League, has his share of peculiarities and superstitions. Walt's main forte In his strategic maneuvering has to do with his loca tion on the playing bench during the When Portland is batting Walter sits at the end of the bench closest to the door to the clubhouse, and, when Port land is in the field. Walter switches to the far end of the playing bench. This is no occasional change, but is a part of the great manager's daily pro. gramme. Sometimes he varies it, ac cording to the layout in various in nings, but seldom. Inning after inning Walt can be seen wending his way from one site to the other, carefully ducking his head under the rafters so as not to be seen from the grandstand. Mack also has a superstition anent papers flying past the bench. "Brenegan grab that one," from the boss meets with instant activity amorg the substitutes, as some bit of gum wrapper or newspaper goes flitting past. According to Harry Krause, Connie Mack has this same superstition. Harry says also that Bill James, of last year s Portland champions, had a particular distaste for shutout games and often would let up In the ninth, when he had a good lead, to let the other team score a run or two. "Bill always imagined there was some sort of a jinx in a shutout," explained Southpaw Krause. "He lost three in a row on a couple of occasions after win ning shutouts and that was the cause of his peculiar belief." Irve Higginbotham has a deadly fear of the camera man on the day he is to pitch, but on other days Hig is as tract able as any of them. Bill Rodgers' individual hobby centers about red undershirts and raw meat. FEDERAL LEAGUE. Brooklyn 1-8, Pittsburg 0-2. BROOKLYN, July 11.
