SPOKANE 10, TACOMA 8.
Tho Homo Team Tries Three Pitchers,
But All in Vain.


TACOMA. May 26.-ISpecial. with the
bases loaded and Tacoma four runs in the
hole, Cartwright drove the ball squarely
over the center field fence. He brought in
Patton, Speer and Lauer, and when he
himself walked in the applause was vocif-
erous. Tacoma's captain tipped his cap
on crossing the plate, and when he reached
the bench a little shower of gold and silver
greeted him. 1t was the most opportune
work possible for any player to accom-
plish Tacoma had been playing steadily
against the swift current of Spokane's
heavy batting, and Cartwrights home run
brought il neck and neck. Heavy batting
by the visitors had caused Griffith and
Parrot to give way. While Cross arm
has been troubling him, he worked stead
ily and earnestly. Spokane's new pitcher,
Printers Ink Lucid, pitched a nice, steady
game. However. he lacked control, hit
ting two men and sending eight to first on
balls. But the men back of him helped
him out with very hard hitting and scien-
tific sacrificing. Marr's hit over center
field in the tenth was just as pretty as
Cartwright's, but as Lucid came in with
the winning run it counted for safe hit
only. and did not meet with much ap-
plause. Tacoma batted well, but did not
knock the Spokane printer out of the box.
