Although out-hit two to one, I Grants Pass' six saftlej were op portunely executed. Grants Pass scored one in the first on a base on balls to Crawford, To zier's error, and Baker's single; two more In the second canto on Sweet land's hit-by-pitcher, and his pilfer ol second, Butler's trror, and Wack ler's first two-bagger. IPirges relieved Tozr In the third and struck out the side. The "kid" Southpaw fanned two more In the fourth and caused a puny pop-up for the third out; but In the fifth the Roper cohorts nabbed Master Uuraess' benign, bewhlskered An gora, putting two runs over, making a to'al uf five, which proved enough to bring the victory. Weckler led off with his second two-cushion siia-ii, and Raker was passed; after Holt had flown to Isaacs, little T. Riggs hurtled a safety through the infield, scoring the fleet captain and sending the belligerent catcher to third; Faubion was retired on strikes, but the Sweetland hoy came to the rescue with a single, scoring B..ker. Medford made two in the fifth on fo ;r successive singles by M; rshall, Burgess, Schultz and Isaacs.
