TACOMA, April 1S.-TSpecial. After yes
terday's game Gilliland felt his position so
keeniy for being taken out of the box that
ne offered all sorts of inducements to
fowell to let him "up and at 'em" again.
his wish was granted, and he took his
place IN the box. That he won his game
is good result of the amount of conf
dence that Powell placed in him. The
neiding that was accorded him by
the 1ntield was magnificent. Lightning
double plays and throws came at most OPP
perfume times, when two outs would send
WORKS hackers to their positions. Gill;
lands work at the bat was an additional
feather in his cap. Laroque and Hatfield
continued the work that has been such an
obstacle to safe hits in their territory. In
batting both Laroque and Powell per-
formed the stick work that won the game.
Seattle scored one of her runs on pc
cuiiar incident. Laroque and LANCE were
on SECOND and third and Irwin at the bat.
A high pitched ball was we'll stopped by
Speer, the ball going straight in the air
about three feet, and, falling, hit
the umpire on the shoulder. The
rule governing this sort of mishap
is strict. and allows base-runners base.
LANCE was called in from third with the
tying run. The ball, had it not touched
Wright, would have dropped dead at
Speer's feet without allowing either base
runner to advance. Speer failed to
catch pop foul fly in the ninth
from Minnehan's bat, and the life spared
the batter resulted in a neat sacrifice to
Cartwright, which placed Powell on third.
From there Powell scored on Hattield's
sacrifice to Goodenough, who gathered in
the fly ball and lined it to Speers. The
stocky catcher dropped it and the game
was lost
Routcliffe opened the game with a rat
ting single, stole second and scored on
Works two-bagger. In the fifth Borchers
hit safely but was forced out at second by
Routcliffe's hit. On Hatfeld's attempt to
max a double play of it, the bail
went about ten feet over Minnehan's head.
Routcliffe reached third on the play and
scored on Goodenough's sacrifice.
In the sixth Patton reached first on the
play that retired Work, who had gone to
first on balls. Patton stole second and
scored on Sippi's hard single.
In the next Speer lined the ball out.
Borchers did likewise. Routcliffe hit to
Irwin, Speer scoring. Goodenough closed
the inning by hitting to Laroque, who exc
cuted quick double play.
In the eighth the last score came over
the plate for Tacoma. Cartwright, after
placing fouls over the side fences till a
new ball was brought into play. smashed
the clean ball against the center-field wall
for two bases. He stole third, and came
IN on Works sacrifice.
Seattle threaded horse collars until tho
fifth. Then Irwin flew out to Work. Gill
liland hit safely. and on Hernon's ground
er to Lauer double play would have re-
suited, but Sippi muffed the throw and
both runners were safe.
After ball or two was pitched careless
base running caught Hernon off of first,
forcing Gilliiand off second. Cartwright
threw the ball to Lauer, who, with Sippi,
was running the tall pitcher down. A
wild throw by Lauer gave Gilliland
third and Hernon second and both scored
on Powell's base hit. After this things
began to look squally for Seattle, till the
eight, when some mellow outfielding let in
two runs. McGinnis flew out, Laroque hit
safely, also LANCE. Goodenough tried to
intercept the ball, but could not quite
reach it. Routcliffe, who was backing
up, allowed the ball to get through
him to the fence. Laroque scoring and
LANCE fetching up at third. Gilliland
brought him in with his third safe hit.
In the ninth the trouble came
thick and fast for the home team.
Hernon opened the ball with two-bagger
and Powell followed with one of the same
kind. Minnehan then sacrificed, after Civ
ing Speer chance to take his foul fly.
Then Hatfield hit out to Goodenough, who
returned the ball quickly to Speer. but the
catcher let it bounce away and Powell
scored. The score:
