coma ktckers, and q Draw Results.
TACOMA. May 29.-[Special ]-Today's
game between Tacoma and Spokane was
declared draw. 1t was declared draw
because the decisions of Umpire Reccius,
of the visiting team, were not satisfactory
to the home team, which was represented
by Umpire Tom Parrot. Reccius and
Parrot were called in to do the umpiring
because there was no official umpire on
hand to do it. Umpire March, after yes
terday's dissenslons, principally with the
audience, desiring to avoid repetition of
it, and possibly more serious row, noti-
fed Secretary Roche of the state of affairs.
He was assigned to Seattle, and it was ex-
pected that Umpire knight would come
over from Seattle to take his place. Inas-
much as Tacoma has protested against
knight umpiring at games in which it
participated, it was feared that the I'M
manageable spectators, fresh from yester-
days success in creating disturbance,
would not take kindly to him.
There was a big Sunday crowd present.
At 3:l5 p. m. Umpire knight did not APP
pear, and PARROT and Reccius were chosen
to do the work. And now, after the exhi-
bition recorded below, hardly anything
short of standing army will subJugate
such throng as was present. For the
game, as far as played, it is only necessary
to say that Griffith had superb command
of the bail, and that Routclitfe, Sippi,
Lauer and Speer did the batting. The
record tells an interesting though some
what disgraceful tale.
Sowders led eff with plenty Of speed
and good control. Tacoma did nothing.
Cline started for Spokane by lining the
ball to Patton, who closed on it deity,
Beard fouling to Cartwright, and Mari
placed ball over the right two-bagger

third. Lauer drove hot one at Strauss.

fifth flew to Klopf, and Speer died trying
To steal second. Spokane added life to the
game in its half. Sowders reached hrst on
Patton's wild throw to first, Cline sacriiic-
inc him TO second, but Beard and MARI
struck out, making six strike-outs for Crit
fifth in three innings.
Cartwright picked the first hit oil Sow
ders in the fourth after Patton and Good
enough had flied out. 1t was clover
cropper to left center, but nothing came OF
it. Work tapping out to Sowders to Mari.
Dalrymple nearly scalped Griffith when
the visitors came to bat. His hit glided
over the pitchers forehead, and Patton
could not handle it quick enough to throw
him out at first. Polhemus sacrl-
feed him to second, and he came
in on Strauss three-bagger to lett
field fence. klopf lined over TO Lauer,
