Goodman, the relief chucker, after weathering the continuation of the fourth inning as sault, settled down to hurl steady shut-out ball. ’ The two returning Loggers, who aided greatly hi downing Sutherlin, were “Chico” Heath, of the famous 1229 Coquille team, and Ray Wood yard, regular performer on the 1930 and 1921 nines.
