Standing Of the Amateurs.

TACOMA, May 70 Special. Another
good game of baseball was played here
this afternoon, bringing the Tacoma-Se-
sttle series to close with honors evenly
divided. While Tacoma won today, the
home players did not excel their work of
Saturday when they lost OF course, this
comparison comprehends leaving out of
consideration the error which crippled
Tacoma on Saturday. The snap and
spirit which characterized the play of
both teams was thoroughly enjoyable. Ia
coma led tritie in opportune batting.
and while the home team iielded we'll
enough to save Borchers several hits, its
work did not equal that of Seattle. But
Seattle's fielding was the feature on its
side. Dunnng's control was not as good
as was expected. and to his slightly dila-
tory tactics was due the unusual length of
the game. Cartwright and Goodenough
stole bases judlciously. They placed
several good hits. For Seattle Hatfield
and Irwin led at the bat.
A base on balls for Patton started the
game for Tacoma Goodenough followed
with hunted ball to the right of the dia-
mond. 1t was pretty one and the run
ner reached hrst, Patton taking second.
Cartwright tried to bunt and finally in
tended to sacrifice, HIT ng to the left of
the diamond. Dunning handled the ball,
throwing out Patton at third. Works
scratch hit over Irwin let in Goodenough,
Cartwright coming to third and Work to
second. Sippi flew to Lange, Cartwright
refusing to attempt to run home on the
throw in. Lauer flew to Lange. For Sc
attic Hatfield hit prettily past Patton to
Goodenough. taking second on wild
pitch, Powell flying 10 Work. LANCE got
his base on balls. Minnehan flew to Work,
who returned the ball nicely to Lauer, but
Hatfield did not run, but Lange did, and
Lauer caught him on the throw to first.
Routcliffe scored in the second on a hit
to right fence. Cody's sacrifice and Borch-
ers' drive to the center field fence Borch-
ers hit the first ball pitched, and Patton
came up and followed suit, placing the ball
over the right fence. Goodenough's sacri-
hce caught Borchers at the plate, but
Goody was safe. He stole second on
wide ball, which Lohbeck stopped handily
Cartwright went TO first on balls, by wild
pitch Patton scored and the other ad-
yanced base. Work struck out. With
two out Lohbeck for Seattle popped up
near the plate, and as Lauer was not called
to handle it quickly, and Cody not advanc-
ing to take it, the batter was safe. Irwin
got a base OH balls, but Cunning struck
out
Sipp smashed the left fence in the third,
and on Lauer's drive to right reached
third. and Lauer cleverly took advantage
OF no one covering second and ran on to
that bag the ball having been drawn to
third by Slppi. Routcliffe sacrificed Sippi
home. Cody popped out to Laroque, and
Borchers again hit at the first ball, catch
hight on the tip of his bat. 1t was an
easy hit and Dunning threw him out to
first. Some excitement was aroused in
Seattle's half. After Hatfield got his base
on balls, Powell popped up over the plate.
There was another baik in calling man

Cody, Lauer and Borchers. Hattie ID was
