tinVed until early this morning.
The dreamy waltz" was the big
hit OF the dahce, and Mdller-s

ms HEAVY HITTING IN THE
NINTH SCORES VICTORY -
BATURDAY's GAME TO AB-
ERDEEN.


Heavy batting by Cartwright
won the game for Tacoma yester-
day in the ninth inning. after the
Aberdeen boys had overcome a
lead Of four in the first inning and
looked like winners.
The fans were getting discour-
aged. They thought 1t was to be
another slaughter like that OF Sat.
urday. when Tacoma went down
to but, with two on bases,
Cartwright came up and raped a
three-baggar to the outfield, tieing
the score. Then he watched his
chance and came home on a wild
pitch, winning the game.
Cartwright is known as the
Sleepy one" on the ball field.
His motions are of that deliberate
kind, but he woke up yesterday all
right. He made four hits, scored
three runs. got two put-outs and
one assist.
In the sixth inning things began
to look bad for Tacoma. She had
started with four runs and then
stopped. Aberdeen had crawled
up until she had three of them
back and then Berger heaved the
ball over to the bleachers and a
Black Cat scampered to third.
Hurley benched him amid bowls of
opposition from the bleachers and
Eewlin went in. Newlin was hit
freely and Aberdeen took the lead
IN the next two innings but in the
ninth Cartwright came to the res
cue. Score: r HI e
