Show Anyway, Thai's a Slight Sign of Convalescence : SALT LAKE TAKES BRACE, AND ALMOST TIES THE BEAVERS Lefty Leverenz Allows Four Runs in First Inning, Thereafter Yielding Only Four Hits and Shutting Shut-ting Out Macks; Saint3 Push Over Three in Seventh, and Finish Just One Short of Evening Count; Oversights in Fielding Prove Costly. At Portland Salt Lake 3, Portland 4. At San Francisco Vernon 1, San Francisco 15. At Los Angeles Oakland 0, Los Angeles 1. PORTLAND, Oct. 2. If Tommy Qutn-lan'e Qutn-lan'e eagerness to win a bull same for Salt Lake hart been curbed a bit today, the MatntH mlpht have , tied the score or even beaten out i the Hf avers. Tommy's adventurous spirit, ; however, got the tetter of him. and the locals took the opening game of the aeries, ; ' 4 to 3. Lefty Leveren -started out like a dub and finished like a Babe Ruth. J Carry Gardner started out like a Babe- Ruth and managed to hear a Blight reaem-' reaem-' blanee to Babe to the end, although the resemblance was pretty badly marred. It whs In the sixth Inning that Tommy's feet got the better of his head. Already ' three runs had been sent nerosa to the 1 1 Siiinis' credit, and Tommy was on first ! 4 and Billy Orr on third. Harry Hannah wan next up, but evidently Quinlan hadn't , much f;iith in Hannah s ability to shoot ihrough a hit, so he ventured far off , i first. The Inevitable happened. Orr had ! ; to bent it from third and. of course, he ; i w:is thrown out at the plate. Of course. Hitnnah might not linvo hit the ball, but it seemed to the unbiased observer that a better chance to tie the score lay in Hannah's prospects than in Quinlan's ! daring and, to the minds of many, a very fooli.1 attempt. An Exciting Game. The game was a thrilling exhibition. In winch both sides did some great work. No lower than five double plays were i wtziged. in one of which almost the en- tire Beaver Infield and battery took I f part. Lefty Leverenz got off to a poor start, the first inning netting the Beavers four runs on three hits and a walk. After that first inning, however, the solemn-visHged solemn-visHged port skier set I led down and tiie Beavers never got as much as a long-distance view of tho plate thereafter. Harry I (iardner was touched for hits now and 1 then throughout ' the game, but only In ; the sixth wore tho Saints able to make their hits count. An error on either side v.hs accountable for one of the runs in the first and 'sixth. , The Saints starter! out like winners. Tohln opened the g;ime with a single. ', Rath's walk and Slieely's sacrifice put ' men on second and third. Tobin was nailed at tho plate on a great throw by Farmer after Ryan's fly out. The Run-getting. Singles by Hollocher, Williams and ! , Griggs, a walk for Wllio and an error by i 1 Rat h gave the Beavers their four runs i j in the ilrst inning, p. total which proved I i sufilcient to last them to the end. To ; i heveienz's failure to cover the home plate while Rath and Hannah were retiring I 1 GrH;ss can be charged two runs, i Tho Saints' rally In tho sixth netted ! them I hrea runs, and there they stuck. ; After Tobin had died out, Rath singled ! Hiid Rorigers erred on Slieely's grounder. Ryan's single scored Rath. Cramlail beat out a hit to short and Orr singled past third, scoring Sheely and Ryan, Orandall i going to third. Karl was out at the plate when Quinlan hit to Hollocher, Orr going to third. It was at this point that Quin lan's fondness for venturing obliged Orr to run his head into sure death. , in tho eighth Sheely singled with one t out, but he was doubled off first when Ryan lined to Wilie.
