At Salt Lake Los Angeles 2, Salt Lake 9. At Oakland Portland 2, San Francisco 5. ' At Los Angeles Oakland 0, f Vernon 6. THERE were two lovely visions at Majestic park yesterday. Of ronr.sc, there aro always a lot of lovely visions there, but the particular visions we had in mind when we wrote that first sentence don't curl tbeir hair or wear lace bats. The fi r-l of the two visions in connection con-nection with yesterday's ball game was a vision of a no-hit anic for Paul Flttery. Flt-tery. The vision had more substance to its foundation than visions usually have, because Paul climbed up to the seventh inning without a hit's .being registered against him. The six innings preceding the seventh sev-enth were perfect for Paul and his friends. In those six one man got on by reason of a walk, but ho was wiped out in a double play. Another got on because of an error, but he was slain in attempting to steal second. Therefore There-fore only eighteen Angel batsmen had faced Fi'ttery up to the seventh, and none of them hud come anywise close to getting a safe hit. Wolter Spills Beans. But in the seventh Harry Wolter had to go and spoil it all by hitting a little 4 hopper over the pitcher's head that went for a safe hit. Thereafter there wasn't much use of Fittery's straining his good left to an extraordinary extent ex-tent and the Angels got five hits in the last three innings of the game. Wo t he no-h it vision was stabbed in the back. The next vision tn fade into the. discard dis-card was the one that related to a no-run no-run game. Truck Hannah was respon- k. sible for busting up that department. In the eighth Truck got, hold of a ball thai was dumped in front of the plate by Me Larry and slung it with telling t'orce in the genera! direction of first base. The hall was propelled with such vigor that it n I most took Bart Woolums's hand off, even though Bart sot onlv a little piece of his mitt on it. Me Larry went to second and thereafter there-after a score was practically certain, and in duo course of time it was made. Thus the second vision was given the K. O. punch. Fifctery in Great Form. P. ut though he losi. his chances for a "no-hit, no-run gam;1, Fittery set the ; nee Is on their heads. lie had nine &rike-outs. In the third inning Boles, Butler and Uorstman fanned in succession. succes-sion. The locals took kindly to Uorstman 's offerings right from the start, in the very first inning the Saints leaped upon Oscar for two doubles and a single. The hits came in such fashion, however, that they netted only one taJly, two runners being left nmrnoiied, fairly panting with eagerness to score. Oscar passed the second and third successfully, but the fourth found him in desperate straits. The straits ox-' ox-' tended to the fielders also, for two boots mixed with three hits and two walks gave the Salt Lakers five tallies. They got three morn off Bradley Hogg, who' started in the fifth and was liflen for a pinch hitter in the eighth. George Kahler finished the game. Woolums an Asset. Bart Woolums was at. first, base for Salt Lake, lie handled his chances in ruro form and got two hits, one of them at a time when a hit was worth getting. get-ting. He also carried two of Salt Lake's runs across the pan. Billy Orr was back at short, and prob-t prob-t ably it was a luckv thing for the Saints that he was, for Billy spiked a couplo of lightning scooters" that started out like sure hits.
