A.. home grounds in the month was played be-

IA 4 good exhibition. The crowd had been led
- beiieve that the boys had at least struck
viuufng streak, and manifested its sympathy
!, al and every occasion. However, glum
scoks and weird feeling pervaded the crowd
g Il slowly filed ont the gates after witnessing
- 6rst shut-out the home team has suffered
,hIs yrsr No fault could be found with Jack
rsnnIpg after witnessing the outrageous and
huurrng fielding of Ardner and Sippi. Fan
,tnes work was OF the highest order and merits
~ure4sl notice. Only one good hit was scored off
n pstching, the other two being of a scratching
erder in every sense of the word. Outside OF
~ errors Sippi played good fielding game, his
throws being quick aud accurate The outfield
sor the Tacomas had absolutely nothing TO do,
Naskrey scoring the only catch, that being a
little pop-up over second. Fullers play al first
vs of high order, and he evidently 10 one of
the beat and most conscientious players Maskrey
has
OF the Portlsnds play Jiggs Parrot covered
suy quantity of territory, and was very instru-
mental in the shut out. Westlake felded well,
= also did Osborne. PARROTS pitching was FIRST
class but not so scientific as "Jaek's" His mo-
lions in the box are dead against him, and
should have earned his brothers nick name
long ago. In fact both boys are very much ad-
dietsd to gyrations that would put monkey on
his mettle 70 equal, and as Ii is not ball, they
had better drop such methods II they court the
respect of the bieschers. -
The game was won in the third when w.
Parrot went to third on Ardner's bad nun OF
his grounder, and home on the same players

fumbled the ball but throw wild to first, George
coming in, and Darrah closed the frightful ex-
hbition by flying ont to Maskrey.
Portland's other run was scored In the seventh.
Graf got his base on bad balls. was sacrificed to
second aud third, and came home on q short
passed ball
The home boys saw ali the bases but home,
Ardner nearly seeing the color of that haven in
the 18th. He took first, Parrott standing and
watching the ball pop in the air ana falling
fair, Instead OF foul as he expected, second on
pG7Shs error and tried to make third, but,
afsr getting three-fourths of the way, Darrah
recovered the ball and shot it to Parrott
The ball took Ardner between the shoulders
and bounced way over the bleachers,
but, Is Parrott was backing of, Ardner
should not have attempted to come in, but in
he came, and was stopped by fine throw of
PARROTS to Graft. This was disheartening, and
after getting two men 10 bases in the eighth on
hot safe liners, a double play brought the inning
to close, and Maskrey emphasized the fact that
his cup was full to OVERLOOKING with bitterness
by tossing off his glove kicking il, and singing
his cap to the four winds of heaven. Hard
luck is no name for il. "Not q word out of
you," la "Sandy" McDermott, as the following
