When Ort, in right field, picked Bernard's long fly off the right field fence after turning a complete somersault over the bank of earth circling the Chutes baseball park yesterday in the last of the ninth, the Beavers closed a third victorious session with the Angel band'in spectacular fashion by a score of 3to 2. The northern champions came to bat in the ninth inning, and, after Sheehan and Rapps had skied to the outfield Ort singled to right and scored on Fisher's double to the center field. Gregg's lob to Pete retired the side. With McCredie's men one run to the good. Delmas selected a straight one and lined to right center for two sacks. Xagle took Delmas' place and Orendorff hit to Gregg, who caught Xagle at third, and when Tozer fanned the bleachers began to empty. Daley chopped a breezy one to the vicinity of the second cushion which bounced out of the reach of the Olsen-Casey duo. With Curtis Bernard, the beloved pinch-hitting hero of the home team, at bat and Orendorff on the keystone the crowd, prepared to leave for home, waited. Gregg sent one straight over, and Bernie connected with a full swing. The hit looked good for ay least two sacks, and Ort started for the fence in a desperate sprint. Stumb ling over the embankment he snared the ball as he fell, and while the fans were cheering Orrie as he came across the plate the Heaver tight fielder held up his mit, the ball was there and the third straight win of the series was on record. Bush Kennedy came into the glad-hand class in the first inning, when he brought in the only Angel scores of the game with a long slam to the center field fence which scored Howard and Smith. The Frisco boy is showing his class in the bingling line and will probably be an important figure on the Angel lineup next season, if Dillon's final decision is favorable and he goes on the league records as a ssion of the Los Angeles club. Howard's bare-handed stop of Ryan's line drive over second in the third, the bingling of Casey, Fisher. Howard and Delmas, Ken nedy's showing, the all-round team work of the Beaver lineup, all were features of a great game, and the fans who were elsewhere, of whom there were many, missed one of the best games the season's schedule has brought forth. The Angels are fighting desperately and McCredie is in no place to take chances. This week and next should bring forth the best exhibitions the Coast league program has yet produced. There was little to choose between the twirling of Venn Gregg and Bill Tozer. Notwithstanding the fact that eleven safeties were tallied off the delivery of the Angel mounder, compared with seven from the elongated Beaver, Bill was steady in the pinches and Gregg showed a decided tendency to aviate. The two held the hits scattered, and two was the limit to an inning. Portland started well and gathered two safe swats in the first division. It was "almost" a score when < on third, and Ryan, on first, attempted a double steal, but Port Delmaa' arm was in condition and Casey was nailed at the plate. I.os Angeles secured her two and only runs in the last of, the first. AVith two gone, Howard hit to left for two Backs. Smith was safe when n attempted to catch Howard at third, and both Angels went when Kennedy tripled to tl Portland got one in the second, when Sbeehan singled to right and Rappa drove to Tozer, who thraw wild to Smith.

The young Wesleyans are rely ing especially on the head work of Quarterback Tod Wright and the boot ing and plunging ability <>f Wallace to bring them through victorious. Wright is un hieul quarterback in build, lacking only in experience. He has played two years on the prep team and is expected to prove of varsity caliber inside of another year. Wal lace's punting in the Santa Ana gama laii week was the feuture of the con test, and the future Methodist stur.s expect to gain many yards by Wal lace's foot work this afternoon.

He intends to put his men through Just as hard a course of work for the Whittier gamo as for the Occidental and Pomona con tests. The university eleven will be light, the extra weight of several of the line men being more than offset by thu lightness of the ends and bnckfleld men.
