TAcoxA, Aug l3.-[srecial Until today, so

the present series Seattle had won one
game and lost two, and one of the biggest
crowds of the season turned out to see

seasons series, or If Seattle would win and even
NJ the four game series. There was more bet
ing than usual. The visitors put their latest
importation. Petty, in the box, and barred their
hooks to catch on to victory.
Tacoma had her lucky find, Conover, in the
box, and the way he pitched the home club to
victory was pleasing. In the fifth, seventh and
eighth, after two had reached bases on safe hard
drives, he steadied down and retired the side.
Petty showed what good stuff there lis in him.
In the fifth, when three men filled all the bags
on three safe hits, he struck out March and Con-

former OF the two. as he has had his eyes on the
ball as big as saucers.
Sippi struck out three times I'm succession, and
six others suffered the same fate. The wild
throwing of the visitors cost them the game,

say the least, unusual He also missed three
strikes and failed to nail one of them at first.

head for two bases March scoring. Rou tcliffe
sent a scorcher to Hernon for a single, and Como

In the fifth Patton hit safe. Cody forced him
at second and singles by Maskrey, Betz and Van
Zandt brought him home In the ninth Sippi
opened with hit that went through Newman,
and the batter dropped anchor at third. Patton
