RAlNIERS GIVE THE TIGERS
SOME FUN SUNDAY
Succeed In Filing Up Good Score
Against The Hitherto Invin-
chile Nelson

in piling up more runs than any 9TH
er team this season excepting the
Aberdeen team.
The Rainiers have a promising
team of ball players. A few of the
members of the team would show up
well in faster company. In this par
ticular might be mentioned r. Dill
Ion, who he'd the second bag for
the Rainiers While he was little
off in his hitting, his fielding was
of high order. He accepted nine
out of ten chances, and they were not
all easy. lie Cage, who played left
field, was there with the stick with
a vengeance. Out of five times at
two singles-and all these off the
heretofore almost invincible Nelson.
Nessin, who protected the third sack,
showed himself a good pinch hitter
when he laced out pretty two-bag-
ger with three men on bases. Adams
is but a lad but after the first inning,
in which seven singles and home
run were made, he pitched good ball.
He was not as steady as he might be
but this could easily be laid to lack
of experience and the fact that this
was the first time he had ever APP
ltan OF nv h inn hot
ed of professionalism. He struck
out eight of the Tigers and had his
support been what it should havt
been he might have won his game
Notwithstanding the bad initial inn
ing.
The Tigers did not show up in
their usual form. Steele was forced
ITO go behind the bat on account of
the absence of Gains. tht regular
catcher, and Struble's bad arm. Shaw
and Martin did not show up and this
|necessitated complete change in the
lineup.
The game was interesting in spots
land furnished considerable amust-
ment for the two or three hundred
fans who wandered out to the park.
The Tigers opened the first inning
with six runs. Hassig and Struble
singled, Struble went out from sec
ond to first, and then Ben Kohls lift
ed the ball out of the lot for homer.
Armstrong singled, Mitchell was CIV
en- life when Roberts muffffed a
throw, j. Kohls and Barwick drew
singles. Nelson hit to Dillon, who
retired Barwick and ]. Kohls scored
on the play. Nelson was thrown out
lin trying to pilfer second. Six hits,
land error and six runs for the inn
ing.
/ The Tigers scored again in the
third. After Mitchell had been Civ
en- life while Armstrong was being
Iretired at second, he reached stcond
on a passed ball, third on an error
at second and crossed the rubber on
an error of third.
Two more were added in the fifth
on a double and two singles, aided
| by stolen base and wild pitch.
A single. double, two errors and
ia wild pitch were responsible for
| three runs in the eighth. which
brought the total up to twelve.
The Rainiers started scoring in
the second Nessin was hit by a
pitched ball, stole second, was sac
rificed to third by Johnson. Dillon
| hit one to b. Kohls and that gentle
man held the ball until the batttr
reached first, thinking Nessin was
coming home on the play. Steele
dropped J. Dillon's third strike and
threw to second to catch 0. Dillon
; but the ball went wild and both run
ners scored. One more was annexed
| in the third. Roberts drew single
and went clear around when lie Sage
hit one for two sacks. Three more
were added in the fifth. Dillon was
1
an easy out to B. Kohls. Roberts
was hit by pitched ball, lie Sage and
Cromer each drew single and the
bases were full. Nessin landed on
one of Nelson's henders for two
sacks and three runs crossed the
rubber. Johnson sacrificed the run
ner to third but the best o. Dillon
could do was to hir one to Nelson
The score was tied in the sixth
J. Dillon was given a life on B.
Kohl's error, and scored on Adams
ltwo-bagger. r. Dillon drew a base
on balls, was sacrificed to second by
Roberts. and both runners scored
on a single by lie Sage. This ended
the run getting for the Rainiers. al
, though they came within an ace OF
crossing the rubber again in the
ninth. Cromer struck out but Steele
