Win ~ Out of 10 Games with
vancouver.

The fourth home-week closed yes
terday in blaze of glory for the
Black Cats when they beat Vancou-
yer 2 to /, making out of this
week and II out of 19 played with
the Beavers this season.
Most pitching for the home team
did not allow the visitors a score un-
til the seventh inning, when Snyder
Halls hit to right field. Five hits
is the sum total for the Beavers.
Aberdeen scored twice in the
fourth Lejeune hit safe, stole Sec
ond, went to third on Bewer's hit,
scoring on Moore's single. Bewer
tailed on Most's single. Seven hits
all told for the Cats.
Vancouver beat Pernoll, the crack
southpaw, Thursday 3 to l with Gill
ligan in the box, but Most reversed
the score Friday, beating old-man-
alvia-ball-Engle. And just
to make the fans feel real good STAR
y
to 0.
If any fan can truthfully say, un-
der oath, that he is not satisfied
with the class of ball put up by the
Cats in the series just closed with
Vancouver he ought to have his
money back and free ticket to the
bug-house besides, for never before
has such classy ball been played in
Aberdeen. 1t is true many good
games have been played at Mr.. Jay
Crarys ball yard down at Electric
park, but not a whole series so full
of fast base running, timely hits,
long wallops, quick and accurate
throwing and spectacular features,
and good umpiring; and best of all
the ebony hued Felines furnished
more than their share of the features.
Every man on the team has played
ball and the kind that wins and
brings joy to hearts of the fair
minded fans. Strieb has been play
ing his usual star game at first, but
no one expects anything else of
Julie" Herbert, tho crippled and
a fit subject for the hospital and
playing on his nerve has played such
a good game at second that | am con-
vinced he would be a whirlwind if he
was only in good health. Joe Bewer
is working around third in such
manner that he is leading the third
basemen of the league. Charlie
Moore is proving himself to be re-
liable shortstop, ranking with the
best seen here. Both O'Brien and
Red" Krietz our safe backstop and
fast and accurate peggers to bases.
The pitchers, Sewer, Pernoll, Star
kell, Ovitz and Most are all work.
ing so we'll that it would be diff
ficult matter to select the best one.
And the outfield, Campbell in right;
Liejeune in center. and Swain in
left, is certainly the fastest cOmbn-
alton ever seen in the out garden in
this part of the country. The team
made errors occasionally; some were
hard chances and some are apparntly
easy chances, but what player does
not make an error occasionally? The
best in the business will boot ball
or make a wild throw now and then.
What | most admire in the team is
the eagerness shown to win games
and the hard chances they take to
win they go after everything in
reach or out of reach. There isn't
a man on the team who seems to
be playing for an individual record,
but seem to be playing for a team re-
cord and success, and they are MAX
ing a good record and are achieving
success. Today the Cats are in third
place with 46 games won and AZ
lost; while Spokane is in second
place with 4S won and AZ lost, so
with all the bad playing with which
the team has been charged by a few
it shows up remarkably well and that
for road team too.
This afternoon the leaders in this
years pennant race, Seattle, begins
Il series of seven games here. AS
Spokane beat them in the series just
closed in Spokane, games to 3, it
looks encouraging for the Cats, for
they beat Spokane out of 6 when
that bunch of Indians raided our
settlement a short time ago Some
one has named the Seattle team the
Terrible Turks. Well. here's hoping
