The Visitors Hit Donahue Freely an
Mako Two Home Runs.

Mako Two Home Runs.
TACOMA, June ESPECIAL Assuming that
horse collars do not look well in the run
column. Spokane ran, slid and walked as many
Is six times over the home slab this afternoon,
while Maskrey's sun spots looked ON with
covetous eyes and scored four runs. Why they did
not win is accounted for by Donahue's inability
to keep the visitors from finding his delivery,
and wretched base running. This last defect
has been the cause OF many defeats.
The game was unusually exciting, as the
score was tied twice and the bases left in an IN
comfortably full condition when a sensational
play would double up the runners, or q fielder
would take almost impossible flies on dead runs.
Routcliffe's run and catch in the seventh, with
two on bases and two out, took the crowd, and
he was compelled to doff his cap in acknowledge
ment to the cheers that greeted his walk in.
Double plays were so frequently INDUCED in
that the game was shortened to great extent.
The infield in these plays did chain-llghtning
work, two having been made by each team, and
many others attempted. The fielding on both
rides was OF a good order, Berger's misplay
costing run, sippi's being harmless. Turner's
error was costly, and Flsherty's muff in the first
was not productive OF runs. Houston pitched
good ball, and had the batted a little luckier
and run bases little closer the score would
have been different Donahue felded his posi-
ton to perfection, catching hot balls and ling
the base runners Win uameietS lear when
they attempted to purloin bags cody's
base throwing was a feature, mailing Mannas-
sau at third on beautiful throw.
The batting of Hayes, Houston, Cody and Full
Ter carried Off the honors In this line. In the
eighth inning the mischief was done Hayes,
who had placed two-bagger at the top OF the
left field fence, narrowly escaping home run,
again made a heavy hit In the eighsn and this
time II went outside the Enclosure. Turner
who had hit balls that smoked and withered
the grass In their course, hammered out signal
then Huston stepped up to the plate and
duplicated Hayes hit but only over the right
Held fence, the first for the season. This great
exhibition OF Singing won the game like 10 did
Saturday, and no doubt win win many more
The seventh afforded the only pleasure
OF the days play. With the score
to l against the home team, Sippi hit
safely, Berger took first on Turner's failure TO
hold Nutons throw of his hit Donahue few
out TO Turner. Routcliffe hit a long sacrifice
bringing in sippi, while Berger, who had stole
second. was kept there on Mannsssau's
throw in. Fuller took a base on balls, Berger
went TO third on a passed ball, and Fuller
promptly occupied the vacant bag by great
steal. Van Zandt now kept his word for hit,
and thumped one over Polhemus' head for two
bags, clearing the bases and giving Tacoma the
lead. 10 was here that Van Zandt, inflated with
hissuccess, got caught mapping and made the
third out, just when the bows were getting
warmed, aud with Mcvey at the bat no one
knew where the ball would have quit rolling.
The score:
