The tale of that 2 to 1 defeat lies in the sticking inefficiency ot Douglass" team maies. ' It was Jn the eighth Inning that the Seals attempted their rally, ? . .' ': ' Bally Is Smothered. ' The score was X to 1. . Corhan hit safely and an error by Hagermait put Cartwrlghton first, Corhan advancing to second, Spencer bounced the uau to Hagerman, who foozled around with it and finally shot It to third. General Opinion was that Corhan had the ball .beaten but Finney ruled otherwise, call ing Boy out. , In the rumpusthat fol lowed. Walter Schmidt, who was coach ing' ran in' on the diamond and was promptly ordered to the clubhouse. Meanwhile Howard' had started up to hat In the pinch In place "of Douglass. He did not see Schmidt ordered out of the game and was not notified. So he look Spencer off first and put off man on to run for htm. Then when he found out what had happened he; could not put Spencer back In tne game. K-E-Oww (Tteaning noises from How aid). -;.

Tronin. ; Whence' tame this idea of Hal Chase, one of the greatest first basemen that ever lived, deserting his natural post on the New. York American league club and going tof second base, while the vet eran Frank Chance plays-the Initial corner? . It had Its origin. If you want to know, right here on the Pacific coast, and the motif for the switch In positions was the little second sacker of the Portland Colts, the veteran Kid Mohler, one of the greatest of minor league In- fielders, who was deprived of the chance of becoming a major leaguer because he threw the ball from the "wrong" Bide. Mohler. Is the only left handed ln fleter in -captivity, and has long been an object of curiosity on the part of the major league ball players who annually vistt the Imperial valley to play winter baseball. - ' ' - Mend of peerless; Leader. . For years Prank Chance and Kid Mohler- have been great friends. So have the kid and Hal Chase. Last win ter Chance saw Mohler play some great baseball with the Oxnard team In the winter league, and he conceived the idea of transforming Hal Chase, the wonderful left hander. Into a second baseman, the same Mohler; p'rovlded he himself could come back and cover the first uase position. Mohler' advised Chance to go ahead and follow out the Idea, for he believes that Chase is speedy enough and accu rate enough to make an Ideal second baseman. Mohler knows as well as anybody who saw him play baseball in the heydey of ills career, that he should have been taken into the major league. Tradition was against him. The major league managers couldn't conceive of an ln t tender, particularly second baseman, Weill)? agile and accurate enough to field a ball, then turn clear around and throw it to first. That's whythey never gave Mohler a chance. -;-r-r;'J;: t -4 Seeks Vindication of Style. Naturally Mohler seeks tobe vindi cated In his. belief that a left handed second baseman is faster and more ao curate than a right hander, and he will watch the career of Prince Hal - with more than ordinary interest. - Last winter in the Imperial valley QUAIL BEFORE HIS SPEED Action picture of Z. . "Rtp' Hagerman, the big rlgtt hander pf the Heavers who- held- San' Francisco to- two hits yesterday,', an3 gave Pprtlanda 2 to 1 victory, putting them on an equal basis with the Oakland champions for the league leadership. , ;,..V.. . " V i ' r r 0 1 ' , Three actors in major league base ball situation,, which changed greatest first baseman into prom ising second sacker. On the left, at top, ja Frank Chance, new man ager ot the New York Americans, who ' stationed Hal . Chase at the keystone sack, while he will, play .his old position at first, the same as he" did with the Chicago Cubs. On Chance's left is Hal Chase, subject of the change. Below Is Ernest P: "Kid" Mohler, veteran, left handed second baseman with the Portland Colts, whose play ing skill was responsible for Chance's idea. Mohler explained the whole left handed situation to Chance, and the latter was brought around by force of argument to agree with what the little Colt, who for years played with the San Fran cisco club, told him about playing the position. Chance has seen Mohler play many a game Of baseball and knows Just what can be done, provided the inflelder is equal to the occasion. He thinks that Chase will be equal to any Occasion that might arise, particularly In handling double plays with dispatch. "Baseball fans., and a lot of baseball leaders have a-wrong idea about a left hander playing second ' base," Mohler said to the writer the otherjlay athe sania osa training camp. "For In stance, they can't understand why I am able to take a ground ball over toward second base and chuck it so ac curately to first. That's easily ex plained. WhenjI turn completely around ' ' It automatically gives me balance,.. and although it looks -funny to 'the people lri vthe stands, It Is very gasify done. Thd quick whirling gives fn a balance that I can hardly explain. When one has his balance' and distance to the bases figured out, he rarely makes a miss-throw, . On His Xft Side. '"."'. "6n the other hand, figure 'the speed with which a left hander can go over back of first and get a ground ball too fast for the first baseman to reach and then thrw his man out without having to straighten Up, twist around to the right and wing to the bag. I maintain that a left hander can take a ball to his right; turn around and throw to first as fast as a right handed second base man, and h -earr- far eutepeed him on a ball to his left,. "Of course,, a left hsnded shortstop or third baseman might be handicapped n account of the distance across the diamond unless he had a shotgun arm. I km not saying he would; but he might be. I found second base to be my sphere and X never stepped out of it. Naturally, I believe that Chase will make a great second baseman and open the eyes of the fans of the American league circuit. Chase and Chance ought to make ; a great combination - on the right side of the diamond, especially when you take speed Into consideration." Mohler was not more of. a curiosity to the White Sox ball players who came from the cast than he was to the Chi cago newspaper men. Malcolm McLean of the Chicago Post asked the writer to present him to Mohler so that he. could talk over the situation with the kid and get a line on the possibilities of Hal Chase.
