HAD IT THEIR OWN WAY
Bellingham Bays Defeat Taco
mas BY a Score of
10 to
Freeman Pitches Nine Innings
and is Only Found for
Two Safe Hits
The Visitors Decidedly Out of
Luck and Save
Shut Out

About five weeks since the Bellngham
Bag Baseball club left the bay for an ex-
ctTsion to Tacoma, and while In that city
played one game of ball with the Tacoma
nine. The Bays had never played to-
gether and had practlccd very little and
Of course were defeated. In referring to
the game the Tacoma Globe in very sar-
castle manner, limited that the Tacomas
had "puddin" and defeated the Hams"
as 1t termed the boys, with ease. Since
that occurrence the bay boys have had an
opportunity to practice, and have played
four games, winning every one.
or all the one-tsled games ever played,
the one yesterday took the cOokey. The
home team did not excrti itself Freeman.
or as he is Familiarity called, the Kid,
pitched the nine innings without an error
and was only found for two safe hits,
while the Tacomas changed pitchers
three times during the game and it
seemed as II the home team could find the
ball whenever they desired. Rappold
! played as If his life depended on the out
come Of the game and with the one cx-
! ceSfon OF a wild throw to second, he
played a perfect game. He was always
behind the bat and supported Freeman in
| an admirable manner. Whitley. the old
reliable, covered first with his usual easy.
/ graceful style, and II IA ball came any
/ whore near him il was his. Mullce was
| everywhere and his work as ShOrtstop
could hardly have been better. Daddy
/ Hayes, the iOsher and comedian Of the
nine, cut up as usual but never missed a
play. Leedy redeemed himself at third
and not an error did he make West
! phall, MonOhan and Moore in the outfcd
| had but lltue to do, but did that little to
the queens taste.
The TacOmas were out Of luck. They
| piled up error after error, while their
opponents took advantage Of every bad
play. Fumbles, mulTs, wild throwing
poor judgment and everything bad might
! be charged up against them. IL was their
| day off, as II is well known and has been
| illustrated that the Dodges can put up
| far better ball than they did Yesterday.
! Three times they changed pitchers, but
this did not help matters, and the home
| team knocked the sphere all over the
! field.
Prosecuting Attorney Fairchild UNI
pired the game. His decisions we're not
strictly iirst-class, and the honorable
gentleman was hoOted by the bleachers
and guyed by the kids" T." but he pluckily
held his place, and for a novice IL must be
conceded that Mr.. Fairchild did remark
ably we'll.
Game was called at 4:3O with the Bays
TO the bat. Leedy was the first man up
and knocked a cOrker to middle, which
Cory squeezed after hard run. West
phall hunted an easy one. Baker FUN
blcd with II and West tried to steal sec
Ond, but was thrown out. Mullcc
smashed the sphere TO short and went
out, leaving Westphall hugging third.
Nining punched the sphere 10 Mullce
who promptly put II TO first aud Vining
did not win the initial B. Cory struck
one OF the Kids outShOots for clean
single, but when he attempted to swipc
second RappOld was too quick for him
and ne returned to the bench. Flint api-
tated the air and the visitors were once
more sent to the field.
Second inning-Freeman sent long ny
to center, which was nicely bagged |
RappOld, after having two strikes called |
on him, gave the third base man one too
hot TO hold, A tumble at first gave him
second, and wild throw enabled him TO
reach third Moore famed out, and still !
the game was even.
H. Cory sent the leather to Hayes, who |
held IT. with a vice like grip. Pope popped !
a hot grounder between Freeman's legs |
and made first, but when he attempted TO |
purlOn second Rappold made beautiful |
throw, and Hayes had the ball before the /
runner was anywhere near the bag |

egg was placed 10 the TacOmas' credit
Third inning-Daddy Hayes lined hot |
one TO short and gained first, but couldn't |
beat the ball TO second. Leedy picked up |
willow full OF holes and naturally failed |
TO find the ball Westphall cracked safe /
one TO center and kept on stealing bases |
until he reached third. Whitley sent a |
hot liner to Whey, who dropped IL as If IL |
burnt his hands, and Whitley made long |
stride to iirst and managed TO get 20 sec
ond. Our chances looked splendid for a |
run with Westphall on third and Whitley |
at second. Big Jim Muiee picked up
club with an ominOus smile. and the first |
ball that comes toward him Is sent like |
the wind out into the field and two pair |
Of black legs crossed the Rubicon and the |
first two runs Of the game were made.
Freeman knocked two-bagger towards |
left Held and Mullee ran TO third. Rap |
pold smote the air.
Blaniord popped high fly, which |
Westphall secured after a long run. B. |
Cory didn't find the ball, and Baker made |
hard struggle, but the Kids" curves |
we're too much for him and he too was
retired.
Fourth inning-Baker was substituted |
for Vining in this inning, and proceeded |
TO play ball by giving Moore his base on |
balls. MonOhan struck out and Daddy /
Hayes came to the bat. Moore stole sec |
Ond and Hayes sent clean safe one to /
right field; a wild throw 10 first enabled |
Moore TO cross the home plate and ad- |
yanced Hayes 10 second. Leedy famed |
out and Westphall was next TO WELD the /
willow. A passed ball gave lucky Hayes /
third. Westphall straightened out slow |
one TO Baker, who Immediately put the /
sphere TO first, but Vining was careless |
and did not have his foot upon the bag, |
and Westphall was given life. Hayes |
tailed. Whitley punched very long fly /
to right, which was muiTed and West |
phall came home. Whitley stole second. |
Mullee broke bis bat by sending a red hot |
one 10 second, and tumble and wild |
throw gave Whiteley a chance 10 come |
