Sun- Frunclscor Cal.. April 6.-G. El

Ms temper this afternoon. - Inctdental

Portland by a score of 2 to L. Inci
dentally, notice, because the loss of O.
Elmer's' temper, . the roasting of the
umpires, the ousting of three of our
beloved Seals, and the filing of in pro
test bv the leader of the vanquished
forces, Created so much excitement that
when all was done and over .tne game
was almost forgotten.

hits, one of' which never should have

which is additional testimony that the
men who tip .their hats to Walter Mc

the twist on bis spltter,. The tale of
that 2 to 1 defeat lies in the sticking

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.

Chadbourne started the game with a
bunt down., the third base line and
Cartwrlght, . thinking it would go foul,
let the ball roll. It stayed inside the
line. Fitzgerald sacrificed; a passed
ball and Lindsay's Safe rap over Cor

half without a hit. .. Mundorff Valked.

left both runners safe. McCaii filed
out to left. Johnson sent the runners

In the flfthTyith. two down Douglass
hit Berry with-the ball, Claude went

KID MOHLER REALLY PUT CHASE ON 2D BASE.
-'.X.-yf,;. -
- Dy H.. A. 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.
"I am very anxious to see him in
