PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Hoodsport Raspberries scored three in the first, knocked out an 18-3 pitcher in the third and rolled to an 11-5 win over the Portland Beavers to take a 2-1 lead in the Century League World Series, stunning a capacity crowd at Civic Stadium.

Hoodsport leadoff man Kiki Cuyler drove in four runs, and Dazzy Vance checked the Beavers on nine hits and struck out nine in his distance-going performance. Vance, plagued at times by control problems during a regular season in which he went 13-13, walked only two of the normally patient Portland batsmen.

Eddie Cicotte, the Portland starter who went 18-3 with a 3.80 ERA during the regular season, was hit early and often, sent to the showers in the third and had at least some in the Rose City wondering if a fix was on.

Before Cicotte left the contest he took out Hoodsport shortstop Frank Frisch. Frisch was hit in the ribs by a Cicotte fastball in the second inning and had to leave the contest with a severe bruise. He may be out of action for several days.

Cuyler got things started early for Hoodsport, the National Century League champs representing the 20s. Cuyler worked Cicotte for a walk to lead off the game. Razzie manager Wilbert Robinson called for a hit and run, and Frisch responded with a ground single through the shortstop hole, sending Cuyler along to third. From there he scored on a high chop groundout by Rogers Hornsby. Frisch came home on Hack Wilson's double off the center field wall. After Cicotte struck out Jim Bottomley looking, Chick Hafey lined a single to left to plate Wilson and it was 3-0 Hoodsport.

Portland, American Century League champs from the teens, came right back against Vance in front of the home crowd at Civic Stadium. With one gone in the bottom of the first Napoleon Lajoie doubled to left center, and Tris Speaker followed with a homer to right to make it 3-2.

That, however, was all the Beavers would manage until the game was way out of hand, which is where it went in the third inning.

Wilson led off the frame with a walk. Bottomley drove Joe Jackson to the wall in left on a flyout. Chick Hafey then sizzled a liner right back through the box. Cicotte knocked it down but could not make a play, and Hafey was on with an infield single. Gabby Hartnett then split Jackson and Speaker with a two-bagger to the gap in left center, scoring both Wilson and Hafey to make it 5-2. Portland manager Hughie Jennings popped out of the Beaver dugout with a hook, and Cicotte's work was finished.

Jennings called on Smoky Joe Wood to put out the fire, but Wood did not have much. Pie Traynor greeted him with a bloop single to right that moved Hartnett along to third. Wood struck out the pitcher Vance, but Cuyler doubled deep to center field over Speaker's head, and Hartnett and Traynor scored easily. It was 7-2. Dave Bancroft, in the game for Frisch, then walked, as did Hornsby, before Wood fanned Wilson to end the inning.

The Beavers put a threat together in the bottom of the third. Speaker's double put runners on second and third with only one out. Jackson, though, popped out to Hornsby at second for out number two. Baker walked to load the bases, but Wally Schang struck out to end the threat.

Hafey's two-run homer in the top of the fourth made it 9-2.

Vance then settled into a bit of a groove, and the score remained the same until the eighth. Portland mounted a minor threat in the fifth when Eddie Collins led off with a triple. However, when Lajoie rapped a grounder to Bottomley at first Collins made an ill-advised dash for the plate and was thrown out, and the rally fizzled.

Portland finally scored two in the eighth on Sam Crawford's double to make it 9-4 and raise the hopes of Portland fans used to seeing their boys score at will. Cuyler answered with a two-run homer in the ninth. Collins hit a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth to close out the scoring.

"Dazzy Vance pitched himself a great ballgame," said Robinson after the game. "When he gets the ball over the plate he can be mighty tough. That was a big game for us, to go up 2-1. They've got to come back to our place now if they want to win this thing." Vance was fourth in the National Century League with 225 strikeouts during the regular season.

Portland manager Jennings was baffled by the complete collapse of Cicotte.

"The guy goes 18-3, pitches great all season, then blows up completely in the series," he said. "Go figure. I'm not sure I'll start him if his turn comes around again."

Both managers are considering tinkering with their pitching rotations. Originally, both had penciled in their number four starters--Dolf Luque for Hoodsport and Ed Walsh for Portland--for game four.

Robinson now plans to bring back Wilbur Cooper, who blanked Portland on three hits in game one, for the fourth game.

"Wilbur only faced 30 batters in the opener, so he's going to be ready tomorrow," explained Uncle Robby. "Plus, they have a lot of lefty bats over there, and I think he matches up pretty well with them."

Luque finished fifth in the NCL in ERA at 3.64. He was 9-6 in 20 starts and nine relief appearances. Cooper was the top winner in the NCL at 19-10.

It's a tougher call for Jennings to decide whether he wants to skip Walsh and go with Johnson again. Johnson, the Century League's only 20-game winner, was hammered in the opener, but as he did not get through the fifth, he will be physically ready to go tomorrow. Walsh was 15-8, 3.90 during the regular season. Jennings may also try to find a start for Ed Plank, his number five starter who allowed just one hit in three innings of relief today. Plank went 16-9 with a 5.12 ERA during the season.

"I'm leaning toward going with Johnson," said Jennings, "but I don't think I'll decide until tomorrow."

On the injury front Ty Cobb, Portland outfielder injured in game one, was off crutches but still hobbled by a sprained knee suffered when he crashed into the wall at Hoodsport. He's day to day, though they don't expect him back until at least game six if the series goes that far.

The same is true of Frisch, whose bruised ribs won't allow him to swing or twist right now. With a day off after game five he may be healed enough to get back for game six, if it is needed. Frisch hit .314, third in the National Century League, with 54 doubles, 20 home runs, and 106 runs during the regular season. Bancroft will play shortstop in his absence. He batted .282 in limited action.
