"A WALK-AWAY GAME

In walk away game yesterday
afternoon at Recreation park the
Indians won 10 to 6. The score
does not indicate the merits of
the game, for Jack Killilay was in
fine form and pitched shut-out
ball all through the game, and the
six runs that Tacoma scored were
all made on errors by members of
the tribe. The three runs which
the Tigers scored in the seventh
inning were all made on rank
errors.
In the sixth inning the Indians
batted Newlin all over the dia-
mond. scoring five runs. During
the game IA hits were secured
from the Tigers slab artist. A
high wind made it almost impos-
sible for the outfield to judge the
flies, and many of the errors were
undoubtedly caused by the wind.
The score:

I TO 0 AGAIN

Pernoll went up in balloon in
the sixth inning at Seattle yester-
day and allowed six Turks to trot
across the home plate. The Turks
shut the Cats out, winning z to 0.
II begins to look as if Aberdeen is
getting back into the same old rut
again and is trying TO break the
record for having shut-out games.
Thompson, pitching for the Turks,
was a mystery to- the Cats. and
they famed the air in their wild
attempts to make a safe connec-
ton with the ball. Lynch's double
play was the feature Of the game.
The fielders played brilliant ball.
Batteries-Seattle, Shea and
Thompson; Aberdeen, Kreitz and
