Il Seattle made it three straight from Ia
III coma yesterday by winning a game in
II which the intense interest waxed greater
IS the innings went by, and did not SUBJ
side until the last hand was out in the
ninth. 1t was anybody's game from start
to finish. Not only was it pitchers bat
tie, but it was also a splendid exhibition
Of ball playing by the teams behind them.
Remarkably brilliant plays were few, but
every inch of ground was stubbornly con-
tested TO good fortune the home team
probably owes victory, for it was only a
trip of the toe by an outtielder that con-
verted an out into a three-base hit and
brought in the run which eventually made
Seattle's score greater by one than Taco
mas Both pitchers did remarkable work
and it was lucky punching of its four hits
that won for Seattle.
McGnnis was billed to pitch, but was
pecii not feeling well and at the last moment
sds Manager Powell decided to put in Dun
herH ming. The wisdom of his decision is
red shown by the score. The New Yorker did
nshI not pitch strike-out game, but never fall
0q tered in his steady clock-work delivery,
studying the batsmen who. faced him and
ardl making them either hit the ball in the air

ny field. Willie Lange's support behind the
nj bat was of the cleverest kind, and his
anal work was perfect barring one wild throw
.reJ to second. Three of his putouts were on
|uIA catches of difficult fouls back near the
eM grand stand. The Port Townsend colt
also kept up in his stick work, and was
IL responsible for the three-bagger that
.Vl brought in the first run Of the game. Sam
AZ Laroque paved the way with corking
mi two-bagger and came home on Lange's
, . hit Abner Powell, too. was as reliable as
b!u9 ever at the bat, and drove in the winning
al run by his safe hit in the ninth. Gil Hat
III field did nothing with the stick, but did
Al his usual neat fielding.
seN The box work of Clark Griffith was any
sedd thing but repetition Of his showing three
iryI weeks ago, when Powell's men raped him
tnI oil over the field at Tacoma. He had
,ssJ plenty of speed, fair control, and some
...lI sharp curves that were decidedly pulling
His twirling would have won nine games
red out of ten, but he was unfortunate IN hav-
ved ing the hits come just when they were
perl most costly to him. Mike Cody made his
temperance behind the bat and showed
cn1 lack of work by his unsteadiness. His
th4 throwing was quick but lacked accuracy,
a1 and all of the errors of the Tacoma team
belong opposite his name. Goodenough
made the best showing of any of the team,
val having two of the hits, the only run, and
IA two stolen bases. One of his hits was only
" little grounder to Dunning, which the
long-legged outfelder beat out by fast
I sprinting to first Owney Patton had &
~ finger knocked out in the eighth by a
sS.l thrown boil. and was succeeded at short
8 by" kid" Speer, who helped along his
average by a safe hit in his only time at
III bat.
The 500 or more spectators made up
1 the liveliest crowd Of the season thus far,
and there was great deal of music apart
from the yelping of the coachers. Ia
coma was we'll represented, and there was
lots of noise when things went Billy
Works way. The only feature that
marred a most interesting exhibition was
the disgusting kicking of Cartwright.
The big captain made show of himself
by his sensees5 rawlings. Whenever
base decision was not to his liking the
game was stopped. and he trotted threat
u eningly TO the umpire, while the crowd
i yelled for him 10 play ball. If Knight
- had done his duty the kicker would not
only have been fined heavily hut removed
from the game. Knight acted in cow
ardly, cringing manner. and earned the
/ contempt of the spectators.
With the call of play Tommy Hernon
| popped mp little fly 10 Patton and re-
i tired. Powell went out az first on a
grounder TO Lauer and Minnehan on 2
hard drive to Cartwright, who made
nice pickup. For Tacoma Routcliffe
started with a base on balls, but was
headed off in an attempt to steal second
| by LaGge's nice throw. Goodenough hit
TO Dunnng and went out at first. and
cartwright was retired on a grounder TO
| Hatfield
Then followed shut-out ball for four in
/ hlhgs. with only an occasional variation
| from the retirement of both sides in one
il t~o-three order. In the third Seattle got
] aglimrse Of the plate. but couldn't score.
With one hand out Charlie irwIn took
hrst on balls and stole second. 4 Wild
II pitch sent him TO third Then Dunnlng
4 MT TO Patton and Irwin was thrown out
4 IN an attempt 10 score. HeTnon followed
II with a tr'ke-out.
Il Seattle broke the charm in the sixth.
L Atier two hands were out Laroque drove a
/ liner over Goodeuough's head for two
bags. Then Willie LANCE walked briskly
/ 10 the plate, amid the cheers OF the CROWD,
ana smashed the bail 10 right held
Chicken RoUtclite saw it coming and
ran Tor II. Just as he was about to reach
/ up TO gather in the bali he stumbled, and
i the sphere sailed away over his head, VIII
Laroque came home and LANCE sprlnted 10

that pa..ed Tacoma out OF 4 tight pla e.

Tacoma threatened 10 score in the sew

Sppi hat safe past short. He started 10

Intellectual swing at the bali. LANCE threw
