IN Tacoma. During the series Seattle has
heen weakened by changing positions and
b.rd luck. On the other hand Tacoma
has stood in with the fates, and besides
has mt I'D magnificent ball. For instance,
IN today's game Tacoma batted Camp
hard and fielded without an error. Cross

Who reached third, and they were the only
ones that scored. Parrot made the hit of
the day with his home run and his three
clever assists in as many double plays.
Some of the visitors errors were costly,
which, coupled with Cross nine strike
outs and only one base on balls, together
With heavy batting and sharp fielding,
tells the story. Cody's throws and all
around good play deserves credit. too.
Lange's popularity jumped away above
mar on his star catch of liner from
Iauer's bat. Work had just hit two
bagger to the left fence and Patton had
his base on balls. Lauer's liner came
next. and it shot over Hatfield's head like
ariae ball. Lange came up on q run, but

right arm, stretched at full length. stopped
II. and while it bounded up LANCE hooked
it. The crowd appreciated the great catch,
which, besides retiring the batter, also
shut out Work, who had run off second,
confident it was a safe hit. He could not
get back. That was in the second, the
same inning in which Earle got hit in the
LETT ear by pitched ball. 1t was painful,
but did not disable him.
A run came for Tacoma in the third.
Good sprinting by Cross and a little squirt
of luck did it. Cross led off with a single,
and with two men out started to steal Sec
ond Earle threw wild, the ball rolling to-
ward right center. When LANCE finally
came up and got hands on the ball every
body thought his fine throwing record
would result in the runner being thrown
out at the plate. Lange did not throw as
swift as usual, though.
1t was simply the edge of board that
gave Tacoma two runs in the fourth.
Patton had just forced Work at second,
when Lauer banged the ball one against
the left fence. about twenty feet from the
foul line. Instead of glancing off the
boards in the usual way, this particular
ball hit the edge of a board and bounded
back toward third. Nobody could handle
it until Hatfield came up, and then Patton
was on third and Lauer on second. That
was a starter, followed by Routclitfe's
grounder to short Hatfield let it slip,
Patton and Lauer scoring, and on the
subsequent play Routclifie taking second.
Tacoma kept right on scoring in the fifth.
With one out, Sippi placed the ball against
the right center fence, but on Lange's
quick throw, took only one base. Good
enough selected three-bagger, landing
the ball against the left fence near the foul
line Sippi scored, of course, and Goody
earned his run by coming right home on
Cartwright's grounder to Hatfield. Hat
field handled the ball to first after
dropping, but Minnehan also dropped it.
Even if he had held it Goodenough would
have scored. Nothing came of Danny's
error, however. Cartwright going out try
ing for second.
Lauer, in the fifth. put single to cen
ter. Routcliffe came next with the lucki-
est bunt on record. He probably intended
1t Tor sacrifice, but it curved over toward
third and deceived Charley Irwin, who
thought he could reach out and take it.
Instead he slipped on his side. while the
hunted ball went over beyond third and
across the foul line and counted for two
bases. Luckily, nothing came of it, as one
man was out, and although Cody got his
base on BALLS. thus loading the sacks,
Gross grounder being handled by Hat

Tacoma furnished all the fun. or the
buik OF it. With one man out in the sixth,
Cartwright got his base on balls. Work
made his third two-bag strike, sending
Cartwright to third, but himself taking
only one and one-half bags, which is &C
counted for by Gilliland, after stopping
the hot grounder, letting it get away on
the rebound. Work started for second,
but changed his mind when nearly half
way down the line and came back. Cart
