hrdsy in game that was remarkable only
for the unexpected happenings in it.
Seattle had the unlucky end through most
d the game and was practically beaten by
N unfortunate accident in the first in
ming Hernon and Lange, while running
for ny ball, crashed into each other, and
both were knocked senseless, allowing
three runs to come in. The makeup that
the Seattles presented was badly patched
M one, with four men playing out of po-
pition. Owing to the absence of Laroque,
Abner Powell came in to second base.
Gilliland was assigned to left field and did
effective work in contributing to defeat by
his muff of an easy fly. Lohbeck was be-
hind the bat, LANCE playing center field
and Mnnehan first base. For seven in
nings the visitors had everything their
own way and the chances for shut-out
we're good. but in the eighth and ninth
PowelI's cripples took an astonishing
squirt that all but pulled the game out and
nearly scared Billy Works crowd out of
their boots.
McGinnis was announced on the score
cards to do the pitching, but was not feel
ing well, and DunnIng was put in. He
pitched an excellent game under trying
circumstances, and but for the poor sup
port behind him would have shut his OPP
ponents out. Lohbeck backed him up
fairly well, but showed up weak in throw
ing Reliable Gil Hatfield contributed a
coupe of errors, contrary to his usual Gus
tom. With the stick the team again
showed up weak, although there was some
improvement. Willie Lange got his eye
on the ball again and cracked our couple
Of singles at opportune points. Hatfield's
bit also came in at the right time.
For Tacoma Borchers pitched beauti-
ful game for seven innings, allowing but
three hits, without run. Then he lost
control of the ball, and with the aid Of
some very shaky catching by Cody. nearly
lost the game. During that short time he
gave six bases on balls, made two wild
pitches and was touched up for three sim
gles The field back of him did its work
well, but for the most part it was on easy
chances. Both Of "Chuck" Lauer's assists
we're clever bits of work, and Billy Work
made nice throw to the plate in time to
cut off run. At the bat Routciiffe made
the best showing with three singles, Good
enough coming next with pair of the
same kind.
The chilly weather kept the attendance
down to very small number and the
faithful few present preserved gloomy
silence through most of the slow, uninter-
esting game. When. however. the team
they wanted to win made its Garrison fin
ish, the "rooters'' in the stands woke
suddenly to life and began to howl with
vigor enough for crowd of ten times its
number. Lon Knight returned from Ia
coma to succeed March and umpired
fairly well.
After the first three Seattle batsmen had
been retired Tacoma started in on her
lucky inning Owny Patton opened with
grounder to Hatfield, whose wide throw
pulled Minnehan's foot off first base.
Goodenough hunted the bal right down
the chalk line toward first and leat
It out Then Cartwright drove a
long fly to right center. Both
LANCE and Hernon made for it at
full speed, and as each reached ont his
hands to gather n the bail they came to-
gether with terrific force. The shock
threw both of them on their backs and
they lay stretched out insensible for fully
ten seconds. Meantime the Tacoma run
ners scampered around the bases and
three runs crossed the plate before the
ball could be fielded in. The two injured
helders soon recovered consciousness and
the application of cold water put them on
their feet, but both carried aching heads
Tor the rest of the day. After the excite
ment over the accident died down Work
struck out. Routcliffe hit safe over second.
but Sippi flied out to Lange and Lauer to
Hernon.
Shut-out ball followed for the next three
innings. although Seattle came very close
to q run in the third. With two men out
and Hatfield on second, Willie LANCE hit
sale to right field. Gil made hard run
and adesperaie slide for the plate but was
cut of by Works quick return OF the ball.
In the fifth couple of hits and some
wre'ched ball playing alter two hands
We're out, allowed Tacoma to double her
score.
Billy Work hit for two bases to center,
ana went To third on Routclitfe's single
over short. Sippi was given base on
calls. Then Lauer hit an easy fly right at
ouiiand. who made a rank muff, and De-
lore he could field the ball in, Work. Rout-
Chile and Slppi had scored. Mike Cody
ended the inning by striking out, and Ia
