MIQUE FISHER
LEADS PARADE

Manager Mique Fisher, with his portly
form crowded into miniature carriage
drawn by Shetland pony, led his bunch
of Tigers and the Oakland team from
the Northern Pacific depot up Pacific ave-
nue. yesterday, accompanied by brass
band and as enthusiastic lot of fans as
ever greeted a ball team
The teams arrived at 3:l5, and as soon
as the boys had stretched themselves they
were escorted to carriages and taken to
their hotels. The Tigers will make the
Donnelly their headquarters and the Oak
land boys will be entertained at the Ia
coma hotel.
Both teams are in splendid form and are
a fine looking lot of fellows. After seeing
them the impression is general that the
next few days will see some of the hottest
baseball ever put up in the Northwest.
The game was called at $3.50. Manager
Fisher introduced the battery" Com
mander Nicholson of the cruiser Tacoma
and Mayor Wright. Umpire Huston said
'Play ball. the ball was sent over the
plate by Commander Nicholson and the
first game of the season on the home
grounds was on The battery retired
the new battery took their places and
another strife for the pennant was on.
The crowd that passed through the gates
was one of the largest that ever witnessed
a ball game in Tacoma If the Tigers put
up a good game, and they seem to be
starting right, they can expect that kind
of crowd at every game.
