THE KID" APITCHER.
Barnes Big Men Couldn't Guess
His Curves.
FOUND HIM FOR ONLY TEN HITS.
Seattle Pounded Kiopf for Sixteen Hits
and Ten Runs to spokane's
Three-Portland Loses.

The happfest lot OF baseball cranks that
have filed out of Madison street park thi.
summer were those who gave vent to wild
huzzas AZ the finish of Yesterdays game
between the Seattles and Spokanes. Had
not the manager of the Pork and Beans
club openly asserted that Rockwell's ag-
gregation would win but one game in this
series and that bis own siuggers were in
vincible? So when his pet hunters went
down before the boys in blue to the tune
OF ten TO three, after one of the most bril-
liant contests of the season, no wonder
there was wild outburst Of enthusiasm.
While the 1900 loyal Queen City people
were trooping outof the grand-stand doors,
cracking jokes at the expense of the visit
ing team, they were not aware that one
young man was weighe down with the
burden of great grief, but such was the
case. Manager Barnes had said to Pitcher
klopf early in the forenoon:
SGus, II you win todsy's game III let
you 60 over to Tacoma tonight and spend
Sunday with your best girl.n
So Gus SAT on the players bench and all
hopes of pighting his troth on a moonlight
walk on the morrow had vanished. He
had been pounded for sixteen clean hits,
and 3hey were all made at opportune
times. If be had put up the ball that Win
Camp did, however. there would have been
different tale to tell. The kids pitching
was simply superb and proved that Rock
wells 19-year-old boy is scarcely short OF
wonder he did not deal in curves alone.
He took hand at watching bases. and the
small score of the visitors is partially due
to his clever assists.
The whole team deserves credit for yes
terday's victory. The boys played with a
dash and vim and in perfect accord. Fitz-
gerald made throw 10 second, putting out
Philips. that was a sumner. Fiaheriy.
while be made the only error of the game
accepted everything and pleased the audi
ence nightly. Sam Smith played first in
great shape. Lou amp and Bright saved
many base hit, aud of course Snyder and
Whitley received their share of applause.
Tommy Hernon had but one opportunity.
He seized McGuirk's wicked fly after long
run and ended the game by so doing.
The Spokanes played good game, too,
but couldn't hit the ball. Turner made the
star play for the visitors, although Snyder
is $50 poorer for it. Frank pasted fly tina,
kissed the clouds. and then shot down
toward the sign, that hasn't been touched
SO far this season, and which means a
double eagle for the batter that does it,
Turner went for it like streak, and just
as the sphere was about TO bang the o in
the center, Turner gathered it in. while he
himself bumped with terrific force against
the circular board.
Umpire Stanton's work was far more sat-
isfactory than on the day previous, and
neither team INDUCED in any kicking
