Not only did Tacoma toss the game
away in the third inning, when the lead
ers scored their three runs, as a result Of
the misplay Of Jesse Stovall, but they
also overlooked fine opportunity to at

TACOMA, Sept. 2O.-Three errors on
the same play coming in rapid success
sion gave Aberdeen the only run today,
and it was quite enough to win the
struggle with the Tigers.
The score was l to in the fourth

TACOMA, Sept. 2l.-Nelson today du.
picated his trick OF last Wednesday by
letting Aberdeen down with only one hit,
scratch by Spencer in the sixth inning.
Tacoma's tall twirler even excelled his
performance of Wednesday in that tie

marched in line down Pacific avenue
from the depot, headed by brass band,
and later made known their presence in
the grand stand in no uncertain tones.
When julie Slrelb made his home run,
the bunch went almost bughouse, and,
