Bill Bernard wanted to sec if the Seals always perform the way they did last Thursday Thurs-day afternoon when Chester Hoff occupied oc-cupied the center of the diamond, so Chester was again sent out to hurl for the Utes. Skipper Bill's curiosity was satisfied, for when the score board attendant had hung up the last cipher for the visitors In the ninth inning the story which the fans read out there was Salt Lake 5, San Francisco Fran-cisco 3.
