GRAYS DEFEAT The tigers ON
Home GROUND.
GrayS HarbOr justly Proud of Its
Base Ball Team. Win SATURDAYS
Game and One Yesterday. Left
This Morning for Butte to win
More LaureIS.

When the Tigers were transferred from
Tacoma to Fresno, California, they left
litter OF cubs in Bocstervlle that bid fair
to out Tiger the Tigers themselves and
take their name and fame away from
them.
Captain Michael Angelo Lynch brought
his Cubs down from the home OF the
Boosters Club last Tuesday to cross the
bats with the Lumberman; but the
weather man got the faucet turned
the wrong way and had as much trouble
TO get the downpour of ram stopped AS
Sam Linn had to get the leak in the
water pipe in the Cliehalis river plugged
mp.
1t rained Wednesday and Thursday
Friday afte' noon. though the grounds at
Electric Park were in horrible condition,
Dad Brown could no longer resist the
plteous looks of the fans and decided to
try it any way. Four innings were
pla, ed when the game was called off.
Saturday the grounds were in fair
shape, so the two teams, the fans and
Dad Swartz and the mascot, went down
to Mr.. Jay Crar''s park again to try con-
illusions. The weather man was on his
good behavior that time and kept the
rain off, out could not give the flll quota
of sunshine. The game was full of gin
ger and heavy hitting, resulting in a
score OF 6 to in favor OF the locals.
Higgenbothman was in the box for the
Cubs and Goodwin for the Lumbeimen.
Old man Lynch poked the oal over
the fence for home run in the first in
ming bringing in two runs besides his
own and scared some OF the fans nearly
to death the Lumbermen said nothing,
but played ball, and gilt edge ball at
that, and won out.
sunday morning they got at it again,
with Butler shooting them over for Ia
coma and Dunn for the Lumbermen
The morning was all that could be
desired for a ball game; the sun shonr,
tie birds sang, the grounds were in very
good condition, the players il-full of
pep, and the mascot Bill, the monkey
feeling so gay he would not let the
l.umbermen sit on the same bench with
him. The game started with the visitors
at bat; Shaw, fret up, batted to Dunn
and went to sleep at first: Dowie thought
Baker could not catch fly ball, but .ot
fooled when he tried him Burnett tried
to do Dad Brown a mischief and hit a
hot one to him, and died at First.
In the second inning Lynch hit to Sui.
lvan and was thrown out at fret; Wald
hit for two bases, Clynes flew out 10
Brown, Babbtt hit to Dunn and was
beaten to the bag. The third inning was
Just as shCrt as the second, but three
men facing the pitcher; Shea and Butler
bo'h hit to Campbell and were put to
sleep at the first station. and Shaw hit to
Dunn and was nipped at first.
The fourth opened up little better
for the Cubs, Downie getting to first on
poor throw OF Campbell's, but failed to
reach second as Burnett hit to Campbell
who threw to sullivan at second, who
shot the ball to Nehring, thus doubling
up Downie and Burnett. Just at this
age OF the game Captain Michael Angelo
Lynch ambled gently up to the plate and
smashed one out that struck on top OF
the fence and bounded out of the lot, and
Nike kept up his ambling and tailed,
aud that was all the taIying done by the
bunch from Boosterville, though Ward
hit safe, and was followed by Clynes
with a safety; Babbitt struck out, and
the fans mopped the beads of agony from
their brows. Sullivan started the fun
for the Lumbermen by rapping out
single, but as Campbell, Hurley and
Nehring went out in quick order he was
left on second. Baker went to bat in the
second, but went out at first on Shaw's
quick throw to Burne t; Oscar Boettiger
caught one on the seam for two bases,
Brown was given life at first by Shaw's
low throw, then Law, who was playing
center, hit dandy for two bases, scoring
Boe tiger and Brown, Dunn hit to Butler
who threw to third catching Law, and
was himself thrown out at second when
he tried to steal. This ended the run
getting for the home team. From the
second inning on to the end the game
was anybody's; hit in the right place
would have tied the score. and several
times it looked bad for the locals, but the
hit so badly needed, failed to materialze,
and the game ended in a blaze of glory
Tor the Lumbermen, tho score being
. to l.
sunday afternoon the largest crowd
ever seen at the park saw the Cubs get
revenge. Tonneson was in the box for
the home team; he was wild; he was
taken out at the end OF the fourth inning
after the Cubs had scored three times,
and Lewis put in. The visitors got but
two hits after that and but one run,
The Lumbermen got one lonely run,
but enough to save shut out, in the
fifth. Throughout this game many
chances were offered the locals to win,
but they could not connect with the ball
at the right time. Several times the
bases We're full and timely hit would
have meant runs, but no, fate would not
have it that way, and they had to suffer
defeat. 1t was not the fault of the fans
that they could not pull out, foi the root.
ing that was done was enough to cheer
m the most dOWnhaartad Tho chouuo
in our luck must have been brought
about by Dad Swartz leaving the monkey
at home.
