ed San Francisco, 12-2. Rookie Bill Clemensen held the Seals to four hits and one run in five innings and veteran Cy Blanton limited the Pacific Coast League club to one run and two hits in the final four innings. The Pirates’ performance made even dour Lefty O’Doul, Seals’ manager, admit that “the boys are hustling.”

Relegated to the “B” team, Hutchinson was the losing pitcher against the Buffalo Bisons of the International League yesterday. He worked six innings and was reached for four runs as the Bisons won, 7-1. It is true, he had poor fielding support, and none of the Buffalo blows were solid hits. They were loopers over the infield, some of which could have been caught.

SARASOTA, Fla, March 29 (U. P.) .—The Cincinnati Reds meet the Boston Red Sox here today. The Reds bowed, 6-2, yesterday to the Detroit Tigers, their eighth loss in 15 starts. Cincinnati sent Pitcher Paul Gehrman to Albany and Catcher Dick West to Baltimore on squad to 28. .
