Show Odds Bodkins! Murmured Monte Cristo in a Raucous Void TIGERS LEAP ON DALE FOR BUNCH OF STIFF BLOWS Bees Rally in Latter Innings, but Recovery Comes Too Late to Be of Profit; Joe Finneran Adds Another Victory to His Already Long String; Meusel and Mulvey Prize Winners. At Salt Lake Vernon 7, Salt Lake 4. At Portland Seattle 1, Portland Port-land 6. At Oakland Sacramento 5, Oakland 0. At Los Angeles San Francisco Fran-cisco 1, Los Angeles 7. THE Tigers grouped four fat hits on Jean Dale In the fifth Inning; of yesterday's ball game and that bunch of clouts was turned into a sufficient number of runs to last the visitors to the finish. The score was 7 to 4. Joe Finneran, one of the league's very best flingers, handled the pitching for Vernon, and he made a good Job of it. In the seventh and eighth Joe was touched for a few tallies, but he was pretty much master from beginning- to end. especially from beginning. The muddy going proved a dreadful handicap to the Bees, and cost them at least two runs. Prize Winners. Emmet Mulvey knocked the ball over the right field fence, and today will drive his wagon up to the coaling station. sta-tion. Emmet also won a box of candy. , Bobby Meusel knocked the ball over the , left field fence in the third inning and won a box of candy, too. In the fifth 1 Bobby plunked the silk shirt sign and , will attire himself in a brand new garment gar-ment if he can find one In stock of sufficient suf-ficient length. Cliff Markie relieved Dale In the fifth and pitched runlss ball. In spite of the physical difficulties presented by the slippery ground and the slippery ball, some clever fielding was put on display. Incidentally, there was also some of the other sort. All around, it was a. pretty fair ball game, and, in a way, a relief from the fence-bustin' affairs of the preceding days. The first two runs made off Dale were not chargeable to his pitching, errors in the first two innings being responsible. Bee Rally Nipped. In the eighth inning Salt Lake filled the bases on three hits in succession, but scored only two. It looked like a chance for a regular rally. There was a stir on the Vernon bench, and the Tigers began be-gan to make fidgety motions. However, Finneran tightened and the rally died a premature death. The Tigers scored one In the first inning, in-ning, when Krug overthrew first base on Mitchell's grounder, and Johnny went to second. Chadbourne's two-bagger scored him. In the second Fisher singled to left and Mulvey's foozle put Bub by on second. sec-ond. Brooks's hit sent him to third and he scored on Mitchell s sacrifice fly.
