An error by Bobby. Vaugbn and some slow work in, the first innintr tripped ' the Beavers up in their winning stride today, and little Paul Fittery ; was the guy who slipped the coupling ; on the rails. The si-ore was 4 to .1. ; Again a ninth-inning rally was nipped ; in the bud by the quick thinking of .Manager Blaukeuship. With one run needed in the, final frame, Jack Roche got his second double down the left i field foul line, Kelly, who replaced ', Houck in the box and who had walked '. twice on Fittery, fanned. With one strike on Southworth, McC'redie jerked him and sent the lame-backed '(.'buck ; "Ward to bat. Chuck hit a crazilv hop-. hop-. pinp; grounder at Brief, and, in trying , to line it up, Bunny went kerplunk on his haunches and Ward was safe. Ward heliographed for a runner, and Messrs. Rodgers and McCredie sent Gus Fisher - out. After Gus was safelv announced ; there was no pulling him back. Blank , withdrew Fittery and sent Bert Hall ; to the mound, a long conference in the i center of the diamond giving Hall J plenty of time to warm up. i Blank's Head Working. ' Vaughn popped out to Rath, and I whilo Speas was at the plate McCredie signaled for Fisher to steal second. ', Roche started for the plate and a per-. per-. feet relay, Vann to Guigni to Vann, left I Hpeas standing by the rubber with his bludgeon in his hands. Had Fisher : been available to bat he would have ; replaced Speas at the plate and there would havo been no attempt at a double steal. Salt Lake got away in this fashion I in the first inuing: Houck had disposed dis-posed of Rath and Shinn, when Vaughn '. made a wild heave on Brief's grounder. In fact. Guisto was hopping around all afternoon like a barefoot .bov treading tread-ing on broken bottles to get some of Bobby's throws. Brief immediately stole and Ryan walked. Guigni singled to right and Nixon made a nice throw y to the plate. Houck butted in for a - - cut-off of Guigni at second when ; chances were bright to get Brief at the plate. Byron made a slow throw to 1 iet Guigni at second, and before Stumpf could get tho ball back Ryan ; had legged it across the plate. Beavers Try for Tie. The Beavers made an effort to tie it up in their halt, but fell one short. ; Vwlie walked and iu taking1 second on Viuighu "s out, turned his ankle on -the bnr and had to be carried from the field. He is not seriously hurt and may be hark before the end of the week. Soutbworth took his place and , , scored on Speas 's single to riht, the latter going to second on the throw-in. ' That brought big Louie Guisto up, and tt he smashed the ball against the right ' center field t!enco for two ,bags. He took third on an out, but was caught on the t'ac end of a double steal. Saints Get Another. 1 The gentlemen from Utah put over another iu the third when Ryan singled through Rhort with one out, and stole second, taking advantage of Hoc he "s C poor throwing. Two were gone and Orr had walked when Murphy singled to eeuter, scoring tho winning run. The Beavers got their third run iu the sixth and somo poor coaching sniffed , , out a good rally. N'ixon walked with one out, and Bill Stumpf, who poled ! three hits for the afternoon, singled. Rodgers forced Stumpf" and Roche doubted to right center. Kodgers didu 't ; have a chance in the world, but a big ' pitcher coaching at third waved him in, : and he was out. A great one-handed stop by Brief iu 1 the tourth with two out and a couple ready to score, saved the Saints. STANDING OF THE CLTJBS. ' 5? ' o 1 v o O P o m n S I ; r' . O O t3 I I CB .
