He even caught the fever and after donating six runs to the Beavers In the seventh, quit In favor of Boyd. Meanwhile some of the Beaver pitchers were getting theirs. Houck started and had them at his mercy until McCredle decided there was no use wasting him on that sort of comic opera and he yanked him In the seventh in favor of Bigbe. The score then was 12 to 3 in Portland's favor and within five minutes the Oaks had six runs over and McCredle made haste to oust Bigbe.
