Pacific Coast League.)

The tanning of the Tigers has been
the essence of simplicity for the Seals
this week at Recreation Park. The
jungle monsters went away last night
so pacified and SO amiable that they
won't be recognized in Tacoma. 1t was
hard enough for the Horseshoe Kid to
drop twice, on Friday and Saturday,
but when the sun had set yesterday
and still the Tigers had not worked off
a heavy balance on the ledger, Mr..
Fisher was as disconsolate a magnate
as ever figured on winning a pennant.
Scores: Morning game, San Francisco

1t was just because Brother Joe
Corbett twisted EN- better than did
giant Overall that the Tigers knew not
what the home plate looked like in the
afternoon game. The vast army of fans
which came to see the rival stars in
action were rewarded and doubly so,
for the home team achieved victory
that was worthy of their efforts
At that the game was close all the
way and might have been broken up
by either team had a batting rally de-
veloped. Only in one inning, the sixth,
was there any hitting done. Then the

Seals swatted three to remote corners
share.
Corbett started the game in a way
that made the fans groan. He walked
Doyle and Irwin Immediately fumbled
Sheehan's tap. Then Brother Joe sent
a slant against the ribs Of Nordyke and
a full house resulted. Fast baseball
and good headwork prevented runs.
Eagan hit to short and Doyle was
gobbled at the plate. Lynch famed
and Miller put an end TO the Tigers
glee by scooping up Casey's fast one
and ending it there.
After that the Tigers never had a
peep in. Corbett began to discern the
plate more clearly and the Tigers eyes
grew dim when those big outcurYes
sped swiftly past. The whole team
took a brace and played baseball.
The Tigers roared and stormed with
anger when the Seals slipped one over
on them in the third. Corbett beat a
bunt and Sheehan hurled the ball into
the bleachers, letting Joe land on sec
ond. Again the leather was hit to
Sheehan, this time by Van Buren,.
Again Tommy's toss was a weird one,
so Corbett tailed for Uncle.
A battle of pitchers ensued for
couple of rounds when the Seals broke
into the going once again. Brother

Van Buren, laid one down. Gochnauer's
out put Joe up one and Waldrons
two cushioner let him in. Hildebrand
swung through with another and the
three runs were then a reality.
After that the Tigers were in. Doyle
smashed for two in the eighth, but
there was no one to assist him in.
Seven of them famed wind in trying
to get jerry to the wide ones Corbett
was Winging in and most of them ex-
pired by the ancient pop fly route.
Both teams did some clever fielding at
critical times. Sheehan and Irwin, the
rival third basemen, shared the mis-
plays between them, each committing
a pair of plumbers. The score:
