Tacoma Forces Seattle to the
Tail End.
SUPERIOR STICK WORK WINS.
s.oksne Takes an Eleven Inning Game
From Portland-Today's Contest
-Eastern Games.

Seattle ornaments the tail end this morn
inc By dropping yesterdays game to Ia
coma, The contest was much better ex.
nibition than that of the day before, but
tie fatal weakness of Poweil's men at the
hat was still present. They started off at a
rsttling clip that promised well for VIC
tory, but the squirt was short-lived. After
scoring twice in the first inning they never
saw the plate again. The team as it took
the field presented much stronger make
No than on Thursday, and with creditable
stick work ought to have pulled out the
came. Laroque was back at second base
and Powell moved out to left field again.
Tommy Hernon, who is suffering from the
eHects of his collision with LANCE, and has
n ankle still weak from strain received
1t Portland, played on the bench while
LANCE covered right field. Osborne. the
new outfielder, played in center. He had
nothing to do in the field, but showed up
veil at bat, getting two of the five hits
made by the team.
McGinnis started in to pitch shutout
ball, but let up somewhat after the first
three innings and Tacoma hit the ball
hard enough to win. His support was as a
rule good, and better than that accorded
Cross Sam Laroque had a hard day of it
It second. Three times in the same in
ming were terrific line drives hit into his
serritory-all just so he could touch them

show to handle them. He had a chance.
however, to assist in the prettiest play of
the game. In the first inning, with Pat
ton on second. Cartwright drove q hot
liner to right field. 1t looked like q safe
hit and Patton started for third, but
Willie Lange came in and took the ball on
the dead run. In attempting to head off
Patton in running back to second he threw
Wild to Laroque. Sam captured the ball,
but seeing that he could not run to the
base in time, made a headlong slide and
touched the bag just an instant before the
runners foot and in time to complete the
double play. Joe Lohbeck made a re-
markable record at the bat, but unfortun-
sicily it was not of the kind to help his
team along. He faced Cross four times
and added four strikeouts to the pitchers
credit.
Barring the first inning, in which he
gave base on balls and was touched up
for double and two singles, Cross pitched
abeautiful game, and for the remaining
eight innings allowed but two hits.
Eippi tried hard to help along Seattle by
his three errors on easy chances, but the
play of his comrades was too strong for
his misplays to be of much effect. Good
enough made fine showing with three
runs, double and two singles, a sacrifice
and two stolen bases in four times at bat.
Work also had single and double, the
latter driving in run after two hands

at third base.
Seattle started the first inning with q
rush that sent her stock up high. After
Hatfield had been retired on line hit to
Work, Powell dropped single over
Patton's head. LANCE was presented with
. base on balls. Then Danny Minnehan
revived memories of his Minneapolis stick
work by smashing the ball out past Rout-
cliffe for two bases. Powell came home
on the nit, but Lange was thrown out at
the plate. Laroque hit to short and was
safe on Patton's tumble. Osborne hit safe
to left, sending Minnehan home. And
here Seatte's run getting ceased.
For three innings Tacoma could make
no Roadway against McGinnis. They had
made but one hit, and four of them had
gone out on strikes. In the fourth, how
ever, they took his measure and began to
pound the ball at a lively rate. Good
enough started with red hot grounder to
the left of Laroque, who made dive for
it, but couldn't begin to handle it, and
almost turned a somersault by the force of
It. ''Goody" then stole second. Cart

Sam made desperate effort to get it, but

glove and stop its force. Work flied out.
Routcliife was hit by pitched ball, and
there were three men on bases. Sippi also
picked out Laroque and drove the ball
over his head too high to handle, although
the second baseman jumped high up and
managed to touch it. The hit sent Good
enough and Cartwright home. Slppi then
stole second, assisted by Hatheid's mut.
