"a another victory 10 her credit. For seven

proud The little shortstop was bent on redeem
ius his bungIcsome work OF the day before, and
took everything in sight. One stop of hot
srounder back of second base was a wonderful
niece Of fielding "owneys" hitting was also
timely, both OF HIS hits being productive of
ruus Maskrey and Work hit the ball at the
right time the atter's single in the ninth bring

Petty's work in the box lacked its usual re-

he pitehed fairly, but IL seemed disconnected
and when the Tacomas hit the ball once they
followed it up. The big twirler had not his
usual control either, and his giving three men
bases on balls and hitting two others proved
cossly Matt Zimmer's thumb, which was split
in saturdays game, was too sore to allow him
to catch, and Willie Lange went behind the bat
He caught an errorless game, and did splendid
stick work, getting two singles and triple out
oi three tines at bat. Charlie Irwin won the
most recognition by his home run, aud also got
ina nice single. In the field he male two
fplendid plays One Q running catch of a
foul ay orer his head clear out near the end of
the besnhex The other was a stop of hot
sroundef on the odd bound. Dick Phelan got
in corking two Dagger when it was needed the
most
For four innings after Con Strothers called
play there was nothing but shut-out ball, the
men on both sides being retired almost in order.
During that time Tacoma had not a single base
hit and Seattle but two singles. In the fifth
Tacoma broke the ice and made three runs be-
fore she stopped. Frank March started with a
base on balls, and Hutchinson sacrificed him TO
second Then Conover hit safely over sheas
head and March scored. Muskrey followed with
atwo-bagger to right center, that sent Conoyer
home. Maskrey should have been caught at
third on quick handling OF the ball by Hernon
md PheIan, but Irwin mutfed the latters throw.
Eppi dropped safe hit over third and Maskrey
scored Patton hit to Shea, who threw to sec
ond, and Phelan completed neat double that
retired both sippi and the batter.
In the sixth Petty won applause by striking
ont sunday. After Work had hit safe, Cody also
struck out. March was hit by the ball and sent
to first Then Hutchinson caught the ball
squarely and sent 1t nearly TO the right field
fence. Hernon made a gallant run and got
under the ball, but muifed it, while Work and
March scored. Conover was sent to first on
balls, but Maskrey flied out to Newman.
In the seventh Tacoma added another run to
her score With one ont, Patton hit safe and
stole second. Sunday then planted single in
night field aud Patton scored. Work hit TO Shea,
forcing Sunday at second, and Coiy struck out.
Seattle had been drawing nothing but blanks,
and was evidently only bent on preventing
shut-out Now came a turn of fortune that is
not often seen in a seasons play. Willie Lange
started the good work with a three-bagger over
Works head into the corner of the center-feld
fence. After Petty had died out to Patton
Tommy Hernon sent hot grounder past third
base and Lange scored. The cheering which
Iange's hit had awakened in the bleaebers
began to grow Then Dick Phelan planked the
ball against the left-feld fence for two
bases, and Hernon scored With chance
to pull out the game the bleachers
grew noiser and noisier Powell hit to March
and was out at first, Phean scoring on the sacri-
fee. Shea popped up fly in front OF the plate,
which conover deliberately muffed. This started
the bleaehers anew, and when Maskrey let New
mans hy To left field drop, they howled them
selves hoarse As Charlie Irwin toe the plate
universal cry went up for a home run. The bat
Ter made vicious lunge at the first ball pitched
aud missed IT, Then, as ii in answer to the
spectators entreates, he caught the next
one squsrely on the end OF his bat,
and away Il sailed ever Maskreys
mead For moment it was doubtful
as to where IL would land, but it cleared the
fence and pandemonium reigued on the bleach
ers. As the popular third basemsn crossed the
piste be was greeted with a shower OF coin, that
came flying from every direction. After the
noise had partially subsidized Schoeneck put an
end to the inning by grounder to sippi. Ia
coma made gallant effort in he half, but IL re-
suited in nothing, although after two men were
out conover reached first on balls and Maskrey
followed with n safe hit
The ninth opened auspiciously for Seattle.
