MIQUE WON
The SOCKS
PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE STANDING.

Tacoma Tigers holding the most trumps.
For several innings it was a give and
take game, but when Tacoma got Shields
and Tom Delahanty wandering around
in a daze in the seventh inning it was all
off with Seattle and Tacoma poclleted five
runs. The game closed with backwoods
score of II to g. but that gives only a
partial idea of what loose jointed and
badly decayed exhibition of the national
game it was.
Bad as the playing was, the crowd got a
lot of fun out of it, and yelled like Co.
manche Indians whenever they got
chance They did their best to get Bobby
Keefe up in the air. Success almost crown
ed their efforts, but reliable old Charlie
Graham slowed down the game and man
aged to pull the young fellow through
About ninetenths of the credit for win
ming the game should go to Graham.
Keefe was treated very unkindly the
day before and he told Mike Fisher Sat
urday morning that he would like to get
even. Mike gave a hitch to his baggy
trousers and said, "All right, go in and
show up that bunch of Siwashes."
So decided was Mike in his opinion that
his favorite pitcher could do the job that
he bet SIS worth of socks on the outcome.
Once or twice he thought he was a loser.
but when things finally got running his way
he smiled at President Evans. of the
Tacoma team, who sat in the grandstand
trying to do enough cheering for regu-
lation bunch of rooters from the City
of Destiny.
Shields. who pitched for Seattle during
the first six innings. had another attack of
buck fever and he was finally replaced by
Hall, youngster whom Wilson picked
up in California. He struck out the third
man in the seventh. retired the side in
order in the eighth and allowed a couple
of two-baggers in the third
Features were few and far between.
Those that did crop out. however. were
more than ordinarily brilliant. lynch
was the recipient of tumuluous applause
when ne hauled in Carlos Smiths terrific
line drive with one hand in the eighth
inning, The ball went so fast that those
in the grandstand did not see it, but they
heard the report of the bat and the spat
as the ball struck Mikes hand
The Seattle men didn't seem to know
what the ball was, and put up a worse
game than the Tigers did at their first
appearance on the home field.
The game lasted two and one-half hours.
about two hours too long for such
burlesque. The score: R. H. e.

Yesterday afternoons game resulted in
another throw-down for Seattle The
score was tied in the third inning, and ,.
Nothing more was done until the sixth,
when Eagan sent the ball over the fence
and made a home run. That seemed to
daze the Seattle fellows and they were
unable to connect again. A two-hagger
by Mike Lynch and a single by McL0ugh-
lin in the ninth added another run to
Tacoma's score. The board looked like

Sunday morning about 1000 people
watched a bunch of decorators from Sc
attic wallop the Tigers to the tune of
to 5. Considering the condition of the
grounds the game was not badly played.
1t was the first visit of the Siwashes to
Tacoma, and they naturally did their pref
tiest. BY hard hitting they ran in two
scores in the first inning and one in the
second. Overall was touched for enough
hits to make two more runs and that was
about the end of the show The game was
called in the eight inning on account of
the rain. The score: r. H. Z.
