OAKLAND DEFEATS TWICE TO SEALS (By the Associated Press) San Francisco looked at Oakland today as its "biggest threat against winnings the second half of the Coast league season. The Seals nullified the second half hopes of Los Angeles yesterday by dousing the Angels twice while Oak land moved forward with a double win over Portland. San Francisco took Ite first game from Loe Angeles, 14 to 11 In 13 Innings. The second game went to the Seals by a score of 7 to 3. Oakland downed Portland by score or 14 to 4 and 3 to 1. The first victory came to the Acorns at the end of a wild, free hitting contest and the second developed a hurling duel, which Thomas took from or woll. Sacramento ended Its series with Seattle by defeating the Indians twice, 8 to 4 the first time and 0 to 3 the' second. Seattle took the series, three games to two. In a single game program the Hollywood Stars defeated the Mis sion Reds, 0-0. While other teams In the Coast league are traveling or preparing for the final series, beginning Tuesday, the Missions and Seals meet In San Francisco tonight In a benefit game for San Francisco's unemployed. It will be the final meeting of these two clubs for 1031. Seattle Boosters in Fan Challenge For Grid Contest PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 38. (AP) Two hundred members of the Seat tle Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Olympic Breakfast club of Seattle, headed by Mayor Robert Harlln. de scended upon Portland today to hurl a challenge.

The Seattle delegation, aboard a special train, was accompanied by the University of Washington band iaiAts tjOULD By Alan Gould Experience, the law of averages and Burleigh Orlmes may be relied upon by Oabby Street for the opening game of the world's series, but those on the Inside of the Cardinals' plan of strategy will not b surprised Lf young Paul Derringer is tossed Into the first conflict against Lefty Qrove or George Earnshaw. Orlmes, although he has not had as successful a season as In 1930, Is a great money pitcher. He will be mors than anxious to get revenge, especially against the famous Qrove. On the other hand, lf the A's hand ed Burleigh another dose of extra base hits at the outset. It might be fatal to the St. Louis hopes of a world's championship. Derringer might be no more of a gamble than Orlmes. The A's know the youngster only from spring training experience. The world's champions failed to hit the Roches ter recruit In Florida and he la as much Improved since then as are the A'a themselves. More Southpaw Stuff Speaking of Qrove and his record number of victories for a southpaw In American league company, Ernest J. Lanlgan, the well known statistic ian, forwards further Information from the ancient archives on what portslde "Iron men" of the past ac complished. Charles (Lady) Baldwin of the De troit Nationals tn 1680, Lanlgan finds, won 43 games for what very likely Is an all time major league record for southpaws.

It stared down stonily as tbe little coupe turned In from State street, and Freddy stared back. "What a tomb," be murmured. Sam Sberrlll, at his side, looked toward the bouse. Then she smiled. "Isn't Itl The sad thing la that It belongs to my family." If Freddy was surprised he made no sign. "I might hare known that you'd turn out to be one of them that has," be said wearily. "I'm always running into one, Just when 1 feel amiable." Sam Sherrlll smiled again, with out resentment. "Don't worry. I'm one ot those wbo decidedly hasn't Nowadays we live Juat below Rama gate, In wbat was onco tbe stable. Some people say our family has gone down hill." "That was a bad moment," Freddy said. "I thought you were rotten-rich. Money I disgusting." "I ItT" Sam raised ber eye brows. "Well, maybe It Is, but It' not unique to want money. 1 wish I bad a lot of it Then 1 could pay my bills, and not worry about tbe mortgage and have nice clothes." Two huge posts of chill gray itone marked the entrance to Uams gate. From the face ot each sprouted a life-sized ram's head. In weather-beaten bronie. Beyond tbem a double line ot maples swept In a sharp curve to the stable, which was a low L-sbaped building with a cupola on the roof ot the longest arm. Tbe living room In the stable, which they entered, was very large. Tbe peaked roof formed the celling, sloping above handhewn crossbeams. A Are was snapping on the hearth. Before the fire stood a tall man whose fingers were cupped lovingly about a moutb organ, npon which be was playing "Tbe Banjo Song" wltb gentle understanding. In a corner, four people were play ing bridge, "Drop your things on a chair," Sam told Freddy. Freddy took oft his coat, reveal ing a rather worn suit. Looking at Sam h wondered wby she wanted money for clothes. That green thing sbe waa wearing was smart. It might be her figure that was respon sible, for she was tall and slim. She was pretty, too. Sam's eyes were a deep blue with almost purple lights. 300 meters (34.7 seconds) and the broad Jump (10 feet, 24 Inchea).

It's Important" William Fenton Aldersea, Fourth, was well over li teat In height and almost Incredibly thin. Tan whipcord riding breeches accen tuated bis lean thighs and bony knees. His hair, eyebrows, and drooping mustache were shaggy and snow-white. His nose was ot a Roman cast, and his eyes were very blue, and piercingly bright. He extended a large band to Freddy. "Munsont" he said thoughtfully. "There was a family ot Munson In Wilmington, out, as I remember It. they didn't hunt." "I'm afraid I don't know the Mun son ot Wilmington, Mr. Aldersea. ' said Freddy. "Father Is minister of a small 1'nltarlan church in Hart ford." He smiled grimly. "He doesn't hunt either." Sam Introduced tbe others, wbo. glancing up in the abstracted man ner ot bridge players, murmured greetings. Tben she announced, "1 have Just attended the Radges' Christmas tea. It must be treated wltb due so- lemnlty in the Express, tor Mr Rudge Is one ot our largest adver tisers. The Rudgea are becoming social leaders." Mr. Aldersea snorted indignantly. "Rudge's father ran a Junk busi ness." "I'm afraid tho Rudges will never attain my stepfather's social regis ter," Sam told Freddy. "He has been compiling ooe, and only twen ty people, not Including myself, have been approved. Let's see what we can fln to eat not to say drink." Said Fourth Aldersea mildly, "Tbe ginger ale Is all gone. Peak Abbott Is out bunting tor more." Sam pointed to the door. "Go through there, Freddy, and see what's in tbe Ice box." When he bad gone, Sam turned to ber step father. "Did you give Peak money for the ginger ale?" "Why no." Aldersea's eyes wan dered away. "It didn't occur to me." Tbe door opened, and Peak Ab bott came In; a tall young man in a coonskin coat. He waved at Sam "Back again," he said with satisfac tion, "bearing rlcb gifts." "Thanks. Peak," said Sam. She paid him over bla humorous protest, and led him Into the kit. ' in. "How about going to the New Year's Eve party at tbe club wltb me, Sam?" Peak asked. "I'd sort of decided to stay home," Sam said. "I'm rather bored with my clothes. Til think about It. You'd better fix tbe drinks." Peak was occupied when Freddy Munson came In from tbe cold room wltb a large bowl of eggs. "Here's a young man you ought to know, Peak," Sam said. "His name Is Freddy Munson, and he's a roporter on the Express. Freddy, yon are gazing at Mr. Peak Abbott. He holds us In the hollow ot bis band. He's that gilded youth, tbe boy publisher. "Lay off me, Sam," said Abbott, shaking hands with Freddy. "Thanks to your by-llne, Mr. Mun son, I know your stuff, and tblnk good." He departed Into the ning long Jumps and was placed ec ond In the discus throw. Sbe scored the whole of Japan's 15 points which placed that nation fifth.

Sbe served the eggs, and tbey were silent tor a time, eating. Sam wondered why Freddy was so defi nitely attractive. When sbe bad tirst met blm more than six months ago In tbe office she had catalogued him as a typical reporter morose, sell-centered, cynical. But Freddy had a sense ot humor. He was hon est, wltb a refreshing viewpoint "Will yon takg part In an abstract argument?" Sam asked. "About marriage. Do you think anyone is Justified In marrying tor moneyf" "I say no," Freddy answered firmly. "Money isn't important. Freedom matters most." "Money Is the Important thing, . but money and freedom go to gether." "1 haven't a cent, but ! do what 1 please." Freddy exclaimed. "You and I are two different peo ple." said Sam. "Your freedom comes from lack of responsibilities: my bondage from a severe lack ol money." Freddy leaned back In bis chair. "This argument is drifting away from tbe abstract We're talking ow about you and ma" Sam shrugged. "Let's change the subject" "All right Let's talk about the -boy publisher. He's In love with you," said Freddy calmly. "Really! Now Freddy, really!" "You're thinking 1 have a terrible nerve," said Freddy. "But look here, Sam Sberrlll, or Joan. I want to say something. I want to say 1 like you." Sam smiled. "I like you too, "Y Freddy, from the little I've seen." "Good. Then we're friends. Why beat about the bush? I've said that Peak Abbott Is In love with you. Are you going to marry him?" Sam hesitated. "Yes 1 suppose 1 am some day. Peak Is an excep tionally nice person." ' "The catch being," continued Freddy relentlessly, "that you don't love him." Peak Abbott himself chose tbls moment to appear at tho door. "Don't let me Interrupt any Journal istic discussion," he said pleasantly. "I Just came to say, Sam, that it you write your story about the Rudges' tea here I'll take It to the office with me."
