Seattle finally reached a stopping place
an the .oboggan side yesterday and took
brace at Spokane's expense. Ollie
gesrd's boys were fresh from q series of
trcr,ci,gs a. Portland. and were lust the
c,owd the home team was looking for in
o-5e- TO take fall The result was dine
more than anything else to the poor field
;ng OF the visitors but Powell's men
showed more OF a winning spirit than they
have exhibited for long time, and played
a lively game. Although hot doing real
sluggers work with the stick they went at
the ball with II vigor and pounded Il
harder .naE shay havs done in many a
day.
There was new combination in the
makeup of the team. Dummy Ryn, after
an absence of more than two weeks, was
hack at first base. and the fact seemed to
have bracing effect on the teams work,
In view Of Sam Laroque's detection, Danny
Minnehan of necessity made his debut as
second baseman. He had no opportunity
70 show his ability on thrown balls, as sll
his chances were on grounders, but he
handled all of these in really clever man.
ncr He also raped out couple Of
singles. Charlie Irwin, too, took a squirt
in his batting, and got in a triple and a
single. Osborne added his share by driv-
inr in run with a two-bagger over
"Poly's" head. One of the best exhibit
tons of handling the stick was given by
Tommy Hernon. He was credited
with three sacrifices, two of them
coming Just at the right time and
being the neatest kind of work. Three
was no particularly brilliant fielding al
though Abner Powell made some nice run
ming catches and two line throws, one Of
which made double play.
Tom Parrot was billed TO pitch but
owing to failure on the part of the Ia
coma management to notify him of his
transfer did not put In mis- appearance.
Mc(;innis was substituted and barring one
inning when he was hit for four singles in
succession. pitched finely. He had good
control and several times struck out dan
gerous batsmen at decisive points. Gus
Klopf went down in this way no less than
three times. Joe Lohbeck did the back-
stop work almost faultlessly.
"Printcr's Ink" Lucid made his bow to
Seattle audience and pitched fairly well.
His support was very ragged, an error
coming in from nearly every quarter.
Abner Dalrymple, who has never pre-
tended to be anything but an outfelder,
essayed to play first base, and had a very
hard time in making the acquaintance of
ground balls. Once he was luckily saved
IN error when he let an easy bounder go
through him, by Klop's backing him up
in time to stop the ball and throw to Luz
cid Uhn first Nora Of ho <oo
did any remarkable feats of fielding. With
the stick Dalrymple and Polhemus carried
Oh the honors.
1t took two innings before the run-get-
ting started and then Seattle began to
push matters in the third. Joe Lohbeck
furnished a single as starter, but was
forced out at second by McGinnis hitting
to MARI. Hatfield hit a drive to right
field that Poihemus allowed to escape,
and the error was good for two bases.
Powell hit TO Dalrymple and McGinnis
scored on the sacrifice. Gil Hatfield scored
on a passed ball just before Osborne flied
out to Reccius.
In the fourth Seattle kept up her run
getting streak. Klopf's error allowed
Minnehan to reach first and Hernon's
sacrifice advanced him q base. Alter the
Dummy" walked to first on balls
Twins single past short scored Mime
han. Beard fumbied Lohbeck's grounder
long enough to let the latter beat out his
throw. Dalrymple tossed the ball to
Lucid, who was standing in a trance, and
while it rolled over toward the bleachers
Ryn galloped home. McGinnis hit to
Beard who threw out Irwin at the plate.
Hatfield hit an easy one down toward
third and reached first before Lefty"
Mari could handle it, while Lohbeck
scored. Powell flied out to Reccius.
The Spokanes began to make things in
feresting in their half of the fourth, when
the hrst four men up ali hit safely. Three
Oh the hits were of the genuine kind. The
o'her, from Dairymple's bat. was one of
Ihose tantalizing slow grounders that
travel down the third-base line. Just as
II seemed sure of going foul little clod
changed its course slightly and it rolled
across the chalk line. The first three hits
anchored three men on bases, and then
Beard sent two of them home on his drive
over short. Ollie was too ambitious, and
was caught between first and second and
run down. while man was held on third.
Then McGinnis settled down and
struck out klopf The third run
OF the inning came in when
Dummy Ryn failed TO take a pickup
On irying's low throw after a nice stop of
keccius' srounier. After giving Lucid a
case Oh balls McGinnis wound up the in
ning bv striking out Monk" Cline.
Seattle counted a run in the NTH on Dali
fymples error, Minuehan's hit, Hernon's
sacrlhee and low throw by Strauss to
eaten Mlnnehan at second, that allowed
osborne to come home from third.
epokane's fourth and last run came in
'ne eight and was n gift. With one hand
,a' Dalrymple hit to right field for three
vases. Beard took first on balls and at
oaee started for second. Lohbeck foolishly
,iea to head him off with throw and
p@Fymple had no trouble in coming

ever as the next two men flied out to
Powell.
