TACOMA, May 3o.-[Special. Portland
won her third successive game this after
noon by virtue of superior fielding. West
lake gave pleasing exhibition of how
short should be played. and George COW
cred himself with dirt and glory as a
fielder by capturing short fly that caused
him to fall over himself and much of his
territory. Graft was the only one of the
visitors who had an off day, but he made
up for passed balls by catching variety
of fouls. Glenalvin made bases in man.
ner that would have gratified the captain
of the famous colts.
OF the Tacoma players Donahue de-
serves credit. Save for his unfortunate
throw to Sippi his game would have been
superb. He is reliable twirler and
pitcher of great promise. Fuller's batting
as also that of Mcyey, were features in
the exciting contest. The boys need a lit
tie better coaching. In the first Fuller
should have been held on third, instead of
being allowed to come in on Donahue's
little safe one to left. No base-runner
could have made home, and it was big
mistake to have allowed him to come in
A fine attendance of 1900 witnessed the
game, and tomorrow there will no doubt
be big crowd present.
Routcliffe came up first, as usual, and
got fooled on PARROTS first throw, but
the second was wild and the third "Rut-
ty" sent by the fast mail route past Sec
ono, for base. Fuller walked up and per-
emptorily lifted one over against the right
fence. Lyle caught it as it bounded from
the boards and Mr.. Fuller was safe. On
the slow return of Fuller's hit Routciiffe
worked his legs and camped on third
While McVey was striking out Fuller pur-
Joined second. Little Donahue and his
big quid of tobacco appeared at the plate
and struck string of fouls, ending
in pop-up, in which Routcliffe
came in, and in trying to do likewise
Fuller was put out at the plate. Van
Zandt winged out to Glenalvin, and Lytle
stood up for Portland to start the second
half. Donahue gave him three balls, and
then Lytle fouled twice over the fence.
Finally Lyle sent one over to Berger,
George favored Van Zandt with scorcher,
which went to Sippi in good style. Os-
horne then punched one to Ardner. who
fumbled, but Osborne was short lived.
Fuller throwing him out at second by a
good throw to McVey.
Tacoma did not get chalk in the
second, but Glenalvin and Westlake came
in for Portland. Glenalvin took third on
a passed ball and came home on West
lakes hit to left, and Donahue threw wild
to catch Westlake mapping at frst, West
lake bounding to third and crossing the
plate on Crafts single.
Tacoma failed again in the third, but
Portland came up again with figure two.
Lytle knocked slow one to right, which
did not arrive in Maskrey's sure clutches
till the batter landed at first. George fol-
lowed with two-bagger to right, which
cut the grass before coming into Maskrey's
territory. Osborne then batted in the two
men on bases.
Van Zandt's two-bagger was the only
feature of the fourth, but in the fifth Mas
krey's two-bagger brought Berger home,
and passed ball tided Maskrey to third
and Fuller's hit brought him in. A
passed ball helped Fuller to second, sac
rifice by McVey transported him to third
where he breathed his last.
A pair of goose-eggs were hung up in the
sixth, but in the seventh, after Maskrey
had gone out Routcliffe raised one over
Parrott's head, and q wild pitch by that
