When "Big Six" Bill Steen was a Beaver some five years ago and while pastimlng In the American League and with San Francisco since, he enjoyed the reputation of being one of those cool, nervy pitchers. Bill's nerves cost him and the San Francisco club a ball game in the eleventh inning yesterday afternoon at Recreation Park. The final score was 6 to 5. Portland staged two eleventh-hour rallies and deserved the victory. After Billy Southworth tied the score In the ninth with a beautiful pinch hit, Portland's half of the eleventh slid around pretty smoothly. Bill Speas. first up, singled over second base and went to second on Stumpf's sacrifice. . Pitcher Herbert-Kelly, who went in for Portland as a result of Southworth bat ting for Higginbotham in the ninth, beat out a slow ground-hit ball to Coffey and Speas pulled up at the diffi cult corner. Pinch Hitter Need Obviated. Hollocher was next up, having been inserted in the lineup as a runner for Southworth after Roche had been up to hit for Ward in the ninth. Walt Mc Credie was in a sorry predicament here. Speas was knocking on the score door and Kelly resting on first and the youthful Keokuk phenom at bat. Boss Walter would have no doubt given his kingdom for a pinch hitter, but as Roche and Southworth had both been spent Mac had no other alternative but to let Holly strut to the plate. There was only one down and Mac still had Wille coming up unless Hollaher hit into a double play. ' Right here is where Steen displayed his attack of nerves. He threw to first in an effort to catch Kelly a few times and then threw to third to get Speas. On the return throw from Jones he wheeled quickly and threw for Kelly in another unsuccessful attempt. One would have thought that Bill would have had enough with ail of that, but he tossed to first four more times, the elusive Kelly sliding back safely al ways. The fourth toss to Autrey was low, hitting the dirt and caroming off the Seal first Backer's arm. Speas could have walked across the plate. Bill's score gave Portland the first win of the week. Bcirrn Take Early Lead. Portland drew first blood in the tb.ird Inning. With but one out Ward sur prised himself and everyone else by singling sharply to left. Lush arched to Fitzgerald but Denny Wilie shot one out between first and second base for a single. Ward taking third. Denny promptly stole second. Vaughn hit one right back at Pitcher Johnny Couch which was too tropical for him to han die and when the smoke cleared away Ward had scored and Wilie rested on third. Wille scored and got credit for a stolen base when Vaughn started to steal second when Sepulveda was throwing the ball back to Couch. In an effort to catch Vaughn and still hold Wille on third, the sphere was tossed back and forth several times until fi nally Jerry Downs dropped It and Wilie raced home, Vaughn taking second. Ciuisto then got his first double of the day to leftcenter field, scoring the Beaver captain. The Seals came right back and cored four in the fifth and one in the sixth. Hits by Coffey, Autrey, Sepul veda and Couch; Downs being hit by , a pitched ball and a weird throw apiece ' by Ward and Vaughn netted the Seals four in the fifth. Bodie, Downs and Autrey bunched three hits in a row in the sixth and one more tally went up on the score board. Ninth la Crisis of Game. Higginbotham had relieved Lush for Portland after one man was out in the fourth and Couch was going along pret tily. The eventful ninth was the mos exciting situation in the game. With one down. Fisher singled to right field Nixon Blammed the first ball pitched a mile a minute at Autrey. It hit Chick's glove and caromed Into the right pas ture and Fisher pulled up at second Speas sacrificed and both advanced peg. Fisher scored on Stumpf's out at first, Coffey to Autrey. Nixon taking . third. Roche, batting for Ward, walked. Then Billy Southworth came through with a bingle which Schaller gathered on the first hop. Nixon trotted home with the tying run. Steen went in at this juncture. Oldham and Brooks, for the Seals, will oppose Sothoron and Roche, for Portland, this afternoon.

Billy Southworth is out of the game with a bad knee. Let's hope Doc Clough -rounds him in shape soon for we need more hits like the one he ecured yesterday.

Sepulveda kicked at the fourth ball called on Jack Roche and Wilie threw his bat toward the bench angrily when he was struck out on a called third strike. Jones stole second in the eighth when Fisher threw to the right of the bag pulling Vaughn out of a position from where he could touch the runner. In the eighth Finney called a low ball a strike on Captain Vaughn. Xumerous fans in the grandstand noticed it. If all umpires were as capable as Ed, however, there would be less "beefing." They all miss 'em once in awhile. Today will be your last chance to see the Beavers for three weeks. They leave tor Salt Lake tonight.

In the fourth week the pros pects for a prosperous season in the Lower Columbia River Baseball League appear brighter than ever. The circuit is now composed of six teams, as com -pared to five in previous years, and at tendance has been very good at all games. The Astoria Athletics appear weak in batting, although "Hennle" Coleman is pitching in mid-season form. The star tw Irlcr recently struck out 18 batters against Hammond, yet lost his game, 2-1. because of his teammates' inability to hit ball. Utile is known of the strength ot the Fort Stevens team. The Cathlamcl nine, as usual. Is the hardest-hitting team on the lower river and Is made up entirely of vet erans. Although the Clatskanie squad is mado up entirely of young players, they have proved themselves to be the fast est fielders in the league, Marias, of Astoria; Boy lan. of Cathla niet, and 'e!t, of Clatskanie. have been appointed official umpires and have been giving good satisfaction. Tomor row's schedule is as follows: FL Stevens at Clatskanie. Astoria at Ilwaco. Cath lamet at Hammond. Northwestern League Stars Foot Batting List.
