Justin Ijj Fitzgerald purloined the only hit the I Hli Seals made this afternoon on the Oak- BlH land groundB. But that hit proved ffi bigger than the combined three safe- jjj tieB of Oaks, and coming right behind ikiil a "W-lk for Roy Corhan and a sacri- Sflli ice bjr Walter Schmidt, it won the I eH session and gave the San Franciscans f I) I their third straight by 1 to 0. LJJ I All along It had been a pitchers' lljf I battle and what advantage there was 1 I j came to Charlie Pruiett rather than to i ijjj Spider Baum, the ultimate winner. j ! Twenty-six batsmen faced the spitball 'U heaver in the eight innings he per- I njjj formed and save for two walks and 'ill! the amBl hit, no one reached first ' ill base. 1 He had been going so well up to m that fateful sixth inning it didn't look m possiblo for him to let down. Baum, Hllll on ncr hand,, was up to the IE form that has kept him well out in P front as a winning pitcher. He was I 3 II in danger just once and then chiefly J jjljj through an error by Jerry Downs. JiJjH Three timeB the Oaks managed to j jl III I' swat the ball, but on two of these oc- I fill casions the smash came with two j mil down and it was no particular trou- I) Hll ble to dispose of the side, (j mli The break in the luck started with DjK a walk for Corhan. Schmidt sacri- j Ljjc ficed with a bunt he laid down to the I j lHI pitcher, and though Baum was fanned, Fitzgerald came through in a pinch. He hit a clean one through to center and Corhan started for the plate. Johnston's throw was good, but Rowdy Row-dy was a trifle anxious and the ball bounded out of his hands.

Young Bill Piercey held Portland to two dinky hits today and pitched the Tigers to a 2 to 1 victory over Southpaw Johnny John-ny Lush. Piercey pitched a remarkable remark-able game, spreading them across past the batsmen with seeming ability abil-ity to make them swing at the one-legged one-legged ones as well as at the strikes. He was materially assisted by some sharp fielding by Berger and others. The only earned run of the game was scored by Vernon in the second, when Wilholt beat out a grounder to short and scored from second on Ber-ger's Ber-ger's single to right. Harry Meek threw past second base and presented Portland with its lone tally in the sixth and Gus Fisher accommodated ac-commodated by heaving the ball over Staumpf's head in the seventh, bringing bring-ing Rader home with the winning run. Minus the two miscueB the score would have been 1 to 0 in favor of Piercey. Both of Portland's hits were registered regis-tered in the sixth. Ward singled to .third and Lush, failing to bunt, hit into a double play. Lober followed with a single to center and on his steal Meek threw low and the ball caromed off into loft center. Before Kane and Bayless could trap it, Lober waB across the plate with a very unusual un-usual tielng run. Fisher's was not the only error that helped Vernon win in the Beventh. With two out, Rader beat out an infield in-field tap to short. Stumpf booted Bayless' grounder for what would have been the third out, putting Rader Ra-der on third and thiB paved the way for Fisher's overthrow of second, letting let-ting in the winning tally.
