kane Wins From Tacoma-Another
twenty-five Inning Game.

Portland put up an errorless game at the
Madison street park yesterday and by
launching hits in the first and second in
ninps, defeated the home team, TO 2.
The Seattle team also put up-gilt-edged
hall. but after the first inning Parrott kept
tbe hits well scattered and although
powelps men found the ball right along
they nearly always sent it straight to a
fielder who swallowed it. thinner made
the only two errors charged against the
home team and both of them were in q
measure excusable. In the first inning he
ran nearly over to first base and made a
phenomenal stop of Glenalvin's drive but
he did rot have time to field the ball to
schoeneck properly and bad play resulted.
In the eighth inning he made great
catch of Glenalvin's fly but again he threw
TOO quickly to catch George off second and
instead of double play he got yellow
error charged against him. Aside from
these two plays no fault could be found
with the Seattles' fielding or with the
game.
The Seattles appeared in their new gray
hlouses and caps and made a handsome
sppearance. "Con" Strothers was also
,ery new as umpire, but he did fairly well
md was very decisive when occasion re-
duired. At one time he forgot to keep
tack of strikes and Osborn, the heavy
batter, famed at five of Kid Camps curves
before he was called out. Strouthers tried
todo the fair thing and may develop into
afood umpire Lange, the catcher, was
also among the novelties. He did splendid
work at the receiving end but had no
chance to display his splendid throwing to
bases. The only base stolen on him was
on wild pitch and he came near getting
the ball down to thinner even then. He
was nervous at first but his playing was
excellent, and he found the ball just when
hit was needed Crafts catching for
Portland was out of sight and his throw
ing to bases was the best seen here so far
this season.
The great circus catch of the game was
made by "Jiggs" Parrott, when he took
in Twins fly way out in left foul territory.
West;ake's covering of short field was
particularly fine, and Joe Shea also made
several brilliant plays.
The home team started out as If it had
signed for slugging match. Shea hit the
second ball that came over the plate down
through center for one base. Powell
struck out trying TO sacrifice him to Sec
ond. Newman followed with beauty to
center field fence and went to third, Shea
scoring. Hernon then dropped nice lit
lie single back Of second base, and New
man scored. Hernon stole second. Shoe
neck got first on balls. Then Parrot
pulled himself together and relieved the
ide by striking out LANCE and Camp.
Then Portland took a turn at smuggling.
Lytle singled to center, but was forced at
second by Zimmer's fielding of Georges
hit. Osborn hit safe to left. Glenalvin
drove grounder down toward right, and
thinner blocked il but failed to get it to
schoeneck. Motz sent single to center
and George and Osborn scored. Motz
stole second, thinner making great stop
Of Lange's high throw to catch him.
Westlake flied out to Schoeneck and Zim-
mer assisted Graft out at first.
In the second the Seattles went out in
one two, three order, Irwin and thinner
dying at first on ''Jiggs" Parrott's fielding
and Shea going out on Westlake's assist.
"Jiggs" Parrot lined the pigskin for
three bags and came home on wild pitch.
George hit to the left field fence for two
bags, but died there.
After this sharp fielding kept the score
down to goose-eggs up to the eighth
inning. Then after George had fouled out
to Irwin, Osborn hit one too hot for Shea
to handle, took second on wild pitch and
came home on thinner wild throw to
catch him of second. The score:
