ToDAY's LINEUP
STANDING of the Clubs

Michael Angelo Fishers squad of
diamond artists will arrive in Los An
geles this morning and will Immediately
HE out to Chutes park to prepare for
the afternoons combat with the Ser
aphs II will not be the terrible Ben
gal squad that created such havoc last
year, the champs" having been
thoroughly tanned both in body and
mind by their unfortunate experience
with the Athenian host.
The Tacoma manager, however, ex-
presses himself as confident that when
the pennant possessors return to San
Francisco for their first interview with
Hank Harris men that his sphere
chasers will occupy distinctly more
satisfying notch in the percentage
column. Tacoma played series of five
games with Oakland on the Athenians'
diamond and when hostilities ended
Sunday the Tigers had captured two
and lost the remainder to the enemy.
Six Game Series
Los Angeles and Tacoma will play
q six-game series on the Chutes park
diamond and the results of the bingle-
tests mean much to both contingents
of ball basters. With Seattle out of
the reckoning, Tacoma is at the bot
tom of the heap, a position that is
hardly conducive to the dignity and
i
away with the pennant last year.
Tacoma's pennant winning infield
will all be in action this afternoon.
Nordyke, the sticking first baseman
that did such consistent work last sea-
son, will again appear on the initial
corner for the Fisheries and Casey will
guard the territory Immediately contig
uous to the second patch. On the
third corner Tommy Sheehan will ham
die the work of the difficult sack.
Tommy emulated Ollie Twist in hold
ing out for "more" when called upon
to affix his signature to document
confining his services to the Tacoma
baseball club for another season, but
Fisher was determined not to permit
the little second baseman to seek other
fields and pastures new and the mo-
mentous question was finally "com-
promised" to the satisfaction of the
Tacoma fans. So Tommy will be there
today.
Charlie Graham will stop the twist
ers for Tacoma today. Graham is
again the leader of the northerners, his
all-around ball playing ability making
him a valuable asset of the Tacoma
squad.
Eagan at Short
Truck Eagan, the man with the four
base stick. is doing the short-stop
turn for Tacoma again this year.
Eagan fractured an arm while trying
the Seraphs during the latter part of
the season of 1904 and was unable to
wear the NIT during the deciding sprint
for the bunting. That the big Tacoma
shortstop still has his optic on the
ball is proven by the fact that he
lifted out homer and bunch of base
hits during the series with Oakland.
Doyle, Mclaughlin and Lynch will
care for the Tacoma outer gardens and
form a trio hard to beat when it comes
10 connecting with the lifts that leave
the diamond behind.
Bobby Keefe or Fitzgerald will toss
over the slants for the men of Fisher
this afternoon. OWE Overall will be
missed from the Tiger twirling staff,
but the loss of the big collegian should
but little against the chances
of Tacoma to repeat their performance
of last season. But things have
changed since then and the supporters
of Tacoma may be destined to expert
ence bitter disappointment when the
day of reckoning arrives. 1t looks so,
indeed.
Roy loren or "Bones" Baum will do
the slab work for the Seraphs this af-
ternoon. Both of the twirlers pitched
one of the two losing games against
Portland and one of them will be given
the desired opportunity of moving
down the terrible Tiger swatsmen to-
day

The game will be called
at 2:3O.
