distinguished themselves, although Irwin got in

Fsdsworth pitched q strong game for the
usifors, and the errors behind him are respon-
sible for most of seattle's runs. Several of the
hits of him were of the scratch order. -Four of
the five errors are credited 10 the outfeld.
Pap Lyle was especially effective in helping
Seattle along, having two dropped flies marked
against him Darrah played . nice game at
short. as did Glenalvin ~ second, while Motz
gathered in everything at third base. Osborne
did the best work with the stick, securing two
doubles and q single. Lyle got In a single and

very peculiar circumstance happened at
one point in the game, owing 10 q decision of
AcDermotts 9, and one which might have caused
trouble had il resulted in any other way than IL
did. In the fifth inning. with Graft on second
and one man out, "Jiggs" Parrot hit a fly to
Powell, who easily caught it Just before the
ball wss delivered TO the bat McDermctt turned
around TO hush some Portland players who were
coaching from the bench. In consequence he
did not see the ball hit nor did he see 1t caught.
He therefore rightly called PARROT back 20 the
bat Powell came in from left field and regis
tered protest, but TO no purpose. SANDY" was
firm, and "Jiggs" had another lick at the ball
Fortunately be was easily retired this time on
groundsr TO Mcdonald. and wadsworth made
the third out on hit to Irwin. The crowd evil
IDENTITY didn't understand McDermott's decision,
and didn't want 10, aud from then until the
close Of the game kept up an almost continuous
ieering at the umpire. About nine-tenths of the
Loo present seemed to be taxing part in this
work.
