ming, when two singles and two-bagger
brought in three runs, Seattle was out OF the
game. Seattle simply could not find Griffiths.
Camps and one of Twins errors were rank and
some of q half dozen errors were costly.
What q start it was. Sippi hit clean to left,
Goodenough scoring him on q pretty one to
right fence which counted for two bases, but he
took three on it on PARROTS muf Parrot
made a fine throw to third, however. Cart
wrights pop-up between first and second was
dropped by Camp, who failed to stand under it,
although it was an easy one On the throw to
the p! ate Captain Cartwright took second, and
Work and Patton sacrificed him home. Lauer
hit safe, but Routcliffe struck out. McGinnis
by this time was steady enough, but three had
scored.
Griffith was in good shape at the lead-off, al
when Seattle's manager came to bat Earle's
bunt was perfection and he came near reaching
first it, too. Still it served to put Hatfield on
second LANCE sacrificed him to third, but Min
nehan's bounding grounder was handled by
Patton to first Gilliland failed to run on q
passed ball.
McGinnis began in the second where he ended
in the first, striking out Cody, Grifhths and
Goodenough. SippI, however, who batted be-
fore Goody, got to first ON Twins muH of his
grounder. Sippi stole second, and had third
purloined when the third strike-out came.
Griffiths sent the crowd wild in Seattle's half
of the third. He started out by striking out
Camp, but McGinnis picked a clean hit to left
of his opponent and was advanced to second
ON Hatfield again being hit by pitched ball.
McGinnis was caught mapping by Gritfiths to
Sippi. 1t was cleverly done and the irreverent
bleechers Kissed him. Earle struck out.
Two men on bases on balls and two strike
outs was McGinniss showing when Goodenough
came to bat in the fourth. GOodenough dumped

tain Cartwright struck out
Seattle struggled hard for a run in its half.
LANCE hit the first two Dagger of the game, over
the right fence. But he never saw third, Minne-
han and Irwin flying out, and POlhemus after
getting his base on balls, went down between
second and third while leading off. Earles con-
tinued encouragement to the boys to "get in the
game and VIM seemed a waste of breath. In
the last half of the filth even Earle got dis
couraged. Parrot got his base on balls, and
went out trying for second just as Camp struck
out again. Gilliland's foul fly to Cartwright re-
tired the side.
Earle smashed the fee in the sixth on his two
Dagger and Minnehan's three-bagger. 1t was an
earned run, to-. However, Billy came near
kicking over his bucket OF milk, by standing on
the line between third and home, shouting to
Minnehan to run to third. He had not yet
crossed the plate, and ii Minnehan had been
out, Tacoma was ready to object to Earle
scoring. AS 1t happened, Minnehan was
safe by a hair, and only a hair. Then Earle
scored. He had come to bat after Hatfield had
failed to run on a missed strike Earle encouraged
him to do so, and he did start after Cody got the
ball and threw low to Cartwright, who could
not hold it. Hatfield, had he run, would have
been sale. Earle waited for q nice aud

Tacoma had Cartwright scored on base on
balls two stolen bases and Patton's single in
the seventh, and had the bases loaded, with one
man out, when Cody stood up and popped out
to Minnehan. Before he went out. however. he
stood out by the box while McGinnis delivered
a fair ball March said it was fair ball. Earle
and Hatfield protested, and the critics sided
with them. Still nothing came of it. Lauer
followed Patton's single with two Dagger over
the fence, while Routcliffe got his base on balls.
Patton tried to come in on ball which hit
Earles shin, rolling away. Billy was too
nmble, and ran him down.
Hard luck was on Seattle's side, sure. In its
half of the seventh Irwin and McGnnis got
bases on being hit by pitched balls, but moth.

stole second, and came TO third on a passed
ball Parrott and Camp struck out, and Nc
Ginnis got his base by being hit Then the
runners tried to steal in concert, and Cody s
nice throw to Lauer caught Irwin.
Several put-outs were stolen in the out1eld
during the game. Routclite ran up and col
lided with Goodenough in taking a high fly.
The collision occurred in the center field ter
ritory. In the ninth inning Lauge went over
into Tom PARROTS corner and hooked Cart

by parrott to Sippi, which was handled to per-
lection by Tacoma's great second baseman.
