Show SAN FRANCISCO 7; SALT LAKE 4 Utes Relegated to Fifth Place When They Lose Friday Game to Seals; Salt Lake, Oct. 21. A sledgehammer sledgeham-mer rap was given the Utes1 hopes of landing a first division berth when one Mr. Eric Erickson a gent who consists of a large amount of anatomy anat-omy done up In a needle-shaped bundle bun-dle essayed to hurl the pellet for Wolverton's trained pets yesterday afternoon. Not that Mr. Erickson was alono responsible for administering the rap. He had numerous accomplices accom-plices in perpetrating the dastardly act. A complete enumeration of the aforesaid accomplices follows: (1) Howard Gregory, (2) Bert Hall, (3) Shortstop Downoy, (4) Frank Chance's Angels. Howard Gregory earned his place among this company because he pitched three and one-third innings for the Utes. In that time he had been picked on for five bingles and four runs. At the time he was der-ricked der-ricked he had filled the bases and had then walked Bodie, all of which had proved more than Malaria Bill Bernhard could tolerate. Bert Hall earned his place in the the list because he wobbled badly at stopping the raids of the Seals. During Dur-ing his activities on the mound he allowed but three hits and three runs. Bert was long on walks, which were responsible for the Seal's final tally in the ninth frame. Downey finds his name attached to tho list because he bobled badly at two very Inopportune moments, each time assisting one of Wolverton's men to a counter. Lastly come the Angels and the reason rea-son they are mixed up in the Utes' tale of grief is because they allowed Portland to slip over a perfectly good 4 to 1 victory yesterday, thereby shov- ing Salt Lake back Into fifth place. Incidentally It is well that the results re-sults of Erickson's toll and moll be herein mentioned. The victory which Eric hung to his belt reads like this: San Francisco 7, Salt Lake 4. The Utes were shufflod up yesterday yester-day and distributed as they were on the day previous. Bill Orr found himself him-self chasing flies in the center garden in the place of Tommy Quinlnn, who Is stllJ battered up as a result of being hit by a pitched ball Wednesday. Dick Bayless scampered around In right field as has been Shinn's wont In these later days. The reason for Shinn's absence was that he is riding a charley horso as a result of receiving receiv-ing a rap on his shin in the same game as Qulnlan was hurt. Bill Orr performed like a million dollars In the outfield, duplicating his performance of Thursday by nipping nip-ping everything which sailed out In Ills neighborhood. In the fourth Inning In-ning he received tho crown for the prettiest Individual play of the afternoon after-noon when he speared Sepulveda's fly with one hand after making a long run. Jerry Downs came through with a circuit clout in the seventh Inning with none on the bases. Jerry was the first man up and ho connected with the first ball delivered, sailing It over the wall In left field. Score by innings San Francisco: Runs 012 200 1017 Hits 211 201 1008 Salt Lake: Runs 011 000 1014 Hits 122 000.2029 |
