A Large Crowd Witnessed q Well
Played Game at Tacoma.
| TACOMA. May 30. Especial l. Fifteen
hundred people witnessed the splendid
Decoration day game put UP by Tacoma
and Spokane this afternoon. Lon Knight
came over from Seattle and found no diff
hcuity in umpiring with Tacoma in the
lead. He had couple of close decisions,
but the spectators did not rebel when the
ukase was against them. Manager Beard,
however, intimated that Mr.. knight was
fearful of something when, in one in
stance. the decision was not as Spokane
wanted 1T. Still there were no unusual or
difficult plays to befuddle those who love
the sport but are not up on the rules, and
everything passed off smoothly.
Printers Ink" Lucid pitched equally
as good ball as he did in the two games in
which he won. Today, however, he could
not win simply because fortune deserted
him. He did not win the other two games
by downright merit; luck did it. Still,
Lucid Is far above the mediocre as far as
amateurs go. Tacoma only got ten hits
of him today and to its credit it must be
said it batted well. Printers Ink" gave
bases on balls, too. lavishly-eight in all.
From the fifth to the finish he was
pounded hard. Cross pitched steadily,
| especially at critical moments. He struck
| out seven men.
| Polhemus led at the bat for the visitors
and Sippi for the home team. Lauer again
carried on the honors in the field, with
Routcliffe close second.
| Starting with base on balls, Patton set
sail for second on Goodenough's sacrifice,
went right on and stole third and scored
on Cartwright's sacrifice hit. which Klopf
returned slowly. Cartwright stole second,
and third, too. Work having previously
hit hard to Beard, securing his base before
the latter could handle it. Routcliffe sac.

Dalrymple. Cross struck out Cline when
the visitors came to bat. Beard retired on
creased lightning grounder to Patton.

| Cody drew his base on balls. Cross gave
| Strauss chance for double, but Strauss
handled the ball with his feet and both

| when Monk Cline was called out in the
| third. Tacoma had not done anything,
| but Cline led off in his half with a spank
| ing two-bagger to left center, taking third
| on a passed ball. Beard flew to Routcliffe
| and Cline started home on the throw in,
and was called out for leaving the bag be-
| fore Routciiffe delivered the bali. Hence
| Manager Boards remark. Spokane also
| ended by doing nothing.
Printers Ink" was Inundated in the
| fourth. He had struck out Cross in Ia
| coma's half, the home team having done
| nothing. A base hit and a sacrifice put
| PoIhemus on second. Then, after striking
| out Klopf, Cross made Cody stand aside
| while he gave Brennan his base on four
wide balls. Lucid came next, and was
famed out, Cody refusing to throw the
| ball when the runners each stole base in
| concert.
Runs were ripe for picking in the fifth
| while Tacoma was at bat. Goodenough
| and Cartwright got bases on balls. the
| former being thrown out while trying for
second. Work followed with base hit
| to right and Routcliffe filled the bases
with fly to Cline's corner. the latter
| mutfing it, Sippi scored Cartwright and
| Work on 8 drive to right. He then drew
| the ball to second to allow Routclitfe to
score from third, but the latter did not

| Kelly. slide" and went out on the return
