TWe . recent series of garnet played .be tween Beat tie and Portland was the best of tha. season. Excepting the last gam In Portland, none were one-sided, and the result wasnot a forgone conclusion until the last man was put out. Only one was an etra-tnn!pg game, but that was suffi ciently1 prolonged to satisfy the most ex acting t "fan." .That was Saturday's gam.. In Seattle, when li inning were required, to; reach a; conclusion. v The analysis given :' .below of the work Of the two teams an3 of the several pitch ers will prove Interesting to all who fol low the gamer-Seattle fairly earned the six' games It 'Won,. because it Dattea harder and fielded better than did the Portland player. In the matter of long hits, the, two clubs were even up each hitting .for 19 extra bases. Portland made the t greater, number of two-base hits, but Seattle made the only home run' of the series ,ahd; made two three-base hits to Portland's . one. The Portland pitchers, however, did much the better work, as the earned-ruu column shows. r, I Portland scored 10 such runs 10 Seattle's gj, j 3. showing plainly ' had Messrs. Wltbeck, ..j J Euale and Salisbury, been supported as f game played would have been credited to ' last year's ' champions. Wltbeck's work wasof the phenomenal order. He pitched three of . the nine games, and not an earned run was made off him. JEngle had a less ayerage of hits to times kt bat, but the earned-run column Is the true, criterion of a pitcher's work. Salis bury ""ties Engle In this respect, but It must be borne In mind that Engle pitched lit- ,twlc--. many game. All : three Portland pitchers lead the Seattle so far: earned runs were, concerned. Of )the Seattle pitchers, Hogg made the best one-game record, . holding Portland downf July i to one hit. This record Witback duplicated th .following day. Hogg, however, fared so badly in the last game of the series that. hi average for the series ws greatly affected., i . , 1 ' For ( the : entire serle Stoval'e work shows up best among the. Seattle pitch ers. In three games two ? earned run were; made off him. Carter escaped with one earned rurf against him,, but he only pitched one game. In the matter of hits per time, at the bat, Hlckey leads th Clam diggers and Engle th bunch. V. The appended table shows the-work of the two teams, both at the bat And In th field and also of the seven pitchers who took part in the series; .- DRUMMER'S STORY OF ; I- tm PECULIAR DIFFICULTY A' traveling 'salesman! to a, large cof- fln factory whll.' tin Washington last j week' told thl story i ? i5 S flly rout brought m through Wash- lnsrtnn iAnvlnm' Ua. inn Ktfii, tlnn and I " .u.sw. 1 .,....-... j':. yu Ji : 'i I stoppad pvr.-after,! hd completed YVlIf tlLtK5 PIANO HOliSt IS WW .iy.y-y JUDGE 't-'Jouitifl. poclal yEervlce.) ; ?.
