The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-07-12


some mighty machine. perfect in every de-
tail. Such backing up at bases and light
ming throwing from all points are not
often witnessed. 1t was struggle such
as Boston and Chicago have when these
giants meet in a battle for the league pen
nant. Portland was as anxious TO win as
was Seattle to throw off the stigma of
defeat and regain her lost prestige Under
these conditions it was a magnificent
confess.
The home players did not act like the
same club of few days before. They
marched on the field confident and full of
life, and went to work in that style which
makes victory foregone conclusion. To
see the nine so full of life acted like a
charm ON the spectators. Every play
brought forth its rnerited applause, and
every round OF applause nerved both clubs
to renewed efforts. The home team, bound
to maintain its lead, the visitors. equally
determined to overcome the odds, made a
splendid fight.
The features of the game were many,
varied and the best seen this year. The
home team played its first errorIess game
of the season. The visitors were not so
fortunate, yet the star plays were not
wholly confined to one side. Both did
grand work and received their just desserts.
For Seattle Mcdonald accepted eleven
chances in a most finished manner Shea
was all over the field and fairly ate up hits,
which were labeled singles and doubles.
He also took hy while running with
the ball, the play being one of the finest
points in the game Seven chances with
out an erro- is a record of which Joe may
well feel proud. Newman took fly off the
center-tleld fence in way which set the
cranks wild, and when Tommy Hernon
picked up Osborne's single and threw
George out at the third base the grounds
were not large enough to hold them.
Tommy also battled like a fiend, and in
the fifth hit for home run to the center
field fence. Camp was the man who did
the twirling for the home team, and
only three hits were secured off his
deceptive delivery. The battery work of
thinner and Camp was a fine exhibition,
Camp making use of all the curves, shoots
and other elements of pitching skill
known to the profession, while thinner did
his part of the work in manner deserv-
ing of the highest praise. For Portland
Billy George was kept busy in left field and
some of the quickest throws on fumbled
balls ever seen at the Madison street park.
"Jiggs" Parrott was the same old reliable
and shot five hot grounders to first in tine
style, his pickup of Schoeneck's hit in
the sixth deserving special mention.
The batting was confined to the home
team with the exception of three hits one
pretty triple by w. PARROT, the Others
double and single by Osborne. Hernon
and Powell each got in three safe drives;
Mcdonald, Newman, Schoeneck and Irwin
followed with two to the credit of each.
Sixteen in all, and every one enjoyed to
its full capacity.
Sandy" McDermott called game at ex-
actly 4 O'Clock and Hernon faced Tom
Parrot with his "three-base-hitn bat.
Down came a speedy ball. Bangi and
down past second it flew, while Tommy
scampered to first. He was too far off the
base when Parrott threw to Motz, and
after an exciting chase the little man was
out. Powell flied to George. Shea was
given first on balls and stole second. On
the throw he went to third and scored
on Newman's three-bagger between
right and center. Schoeneck flied to
George, leaving Newman on third. Port
land came in and Darrah began to coach.
Lyle sent scorcher to Shea, but was out
on magnificent throw. George nut up
fly, which Shea took while running with
the ball. Osborne got in a two-bagger TO
right, but Motz gave Shea another chance
and was out at first.
In the second Mcdonald fed to George
and thinner hit hot one to Tom Parrott,
who retired him st first. Irwin flied to
George and the side was out. Portland
came near seeing second base in this in
ming, but thinner gave Shea a chance to
distinguish himself by one-hand catch
and put out Glenalvin lined one to Nc

his life short, and the side was out.
