It was Seattle’s second straight win, something that hasn’t happened in many moons. Elmer also nicked the agate for a couple of safe blows and counted one of the duet of runs. Yes, it was a big day for Elmer. Portland started out like they intended to win three or four ball games. Filling the bases with but one out on Knight's error and safe blows by Blue and Farmer, the hour of ruin was ready to toll when Siglin slapped a sharp roller to Murphy at third and that worthy, with the aid of Wares at second and Knight at first base, eliminated the Portland runners. This play was the saving grace of the game as the Beavers were never so dangerous again. , HPO. A 2 home and a run] Portiand AB.

When we get started we'll leave the Reds behind in a hurry, and there will be no doubt of which team is the best in the league this year. } We've got a pitching staff that can’t be beat.
