TIGERS ROUTED
THE RED COATS
IN A HOTLY CONTESTED GAME
After the Playing Once Began, There
Was Something Doing Until 1t
Was All Over.

Inc game on the local grounds Sun
day between the Tigers and the Pros,er
Red Coats was full of excitement from
start to finish and the fans. who were
cut in force, enjoyed 1t to their capac-
ity. The visitors, fortified by a good.y
number of rooters from their own
town. came here with a stern deter
mination to carry Off the game at any
cost. This became apparent to the fans
when the announcement was made by
Captain Coins that his team would not
go on the diamond unless the two UNI
pire system was adopted. and that
DOC" Angus be permitted to represent
them. To this the locals demurred,
and for a time 1t looked as though the
game would be called off. for Captain
Jewett, having in mind the dose ad-
ministered to his team by this same
Angus on the occasion of it's last visit
to Prosser, would not permit of the
arrangement But Jewett finally gave
in and the game proceeded with Angus
and Barnes alternating with the indi-
Gator. The fans in the grand stand
roasted Angus and the Prosser team to
a crisp brown while the game was be-
ing held up arranging the umpire ques-
tion, but the dicker was made just the
same and. contrary to expectations,
everything passed off satisfactorily,
both umpires doing good work.
The contest was a good one from
start to finish. each inning bringing
up some good play that brought APP
plause from the fans. This applause,
like the plays, was distributed be-
tween the two teams as they proved
themselves deserving. Both pitchers
were wild, Nelson giving four bases
on balls. made one wild pitch and hit
Coins, while Coins gave two bases on
balls, had one wild pitch and hit Nell
son. This would not be considered
bad record with some pitchers, but
these two slab artists are exceptionally
steady. But Nelson had the best Of the
argument. having seven strike-outs to
his credit and seven hits against him.
while Coins struck out but two men
and the Tigers hinged him nine times.
Both teams were blanked in the first
inning, but the visitors drew one in
the second and it was only due to
brilliant catch of long fly in LETT
from Aubin's bat by Danny Stanton
that more did not cross the rubber.
After this the Prosserites had no show
until the eighth. when they added three
more to the score on combination of
hits. an error by Wilgus and another
by Gains, when he tried to throw the
ball into the bleachers. This was the
limit. however, for in the ninth the
first three men up were easy outs.
The Tigers scored their runs in two
innings also. In the third, Gains
reaching first when Richards dropped
the ball, went to third on Reeds hit
to right, and scored when Taylor threw
the ball away in an effort to catch him
at third. Reed followed him home and
was permitted to register when Mofft
dropped a pretty throw to the plate.
Three more were scored in the sixth.
Stanton opened the inning with clean
two-sacker to right and came home
when Taylor again threw the ball away
in an effort to catch him at third after
catching a fly from Harmon's bat. Nell
son was hit by the pitcher and went
around on Gains single. which was
stretched into a double when the ball
got By Fox. Gains registered when
Shaw hit out a nice two-sacker. That
was all, but 1t was enough to win.
The features of the game was the
fielding Of Stanton in left. not emitting
his work with the stick. Danny has
fallen of in his hitting of late and has
been counted as an easy out for Coins
whenever he faced him. but either
Coins has lost all his cunning or Danny
has recovered his eve. for he certainly
