ANY idea that may have been float
ing around regarding the inability of
the Tigers to make good i'm a pinch
was dispelled Sunday afternoon when
Col. Paynes hired men, walked all
over the Ellansburg gang, and won in
handy fashion, by the lopsided score
of Q to 3. The Tigers showed the best
samples of hitting and fielding of the
season on the home grounds. During
temporary blow up" the Ellens-
by couple of errors, hit. and the
misjudging of a fly in right field by
Rundstrom.
The Tigers came back strong in
their half of the first inning and made
five runs, which put a silver lining on
the clouds. In the fourth they regis
tered once. duplicated in the sixth,
and made another tally in the seventh
for good measure.
KOhls and RunIstrOm Stars.
Big Ben Kohls, good player, sweet
hitter. and heavy basso in the male
quartette, was the Moses who led the
Tigers out of the baseball wilderness
Things were looking rocky for the
Tigers, when the big Dutchman saun-
tered up to the plate in the last half
Of the first, with no one out. the
bases full, and Ellensburg three runs
to the good. Benjamin arose to the
occasion, and leaned his frame up
against one of Mr.. MetcaIfe's choicest
offerings, and banged the ball beninst
the centerfield fence. When the horse
hide had been relayed back to the
center of activity, three runs had pat
| tered across the pan, and the shoe
/ man was perched on third.
Young Mr.. Mitchell then hoped in
to the limelight by laying down a per-
feet bunt, scoring his captain. Rund-
strom rammed out "A single, and stole
| three bases and tailed by peculiar
combination of circumstances.
Sharing the hOnOrs of the afternoon
with Captain Kohls was good looking
Bob Rundstrom. AS the means of re-
deeming himself for misjudging a fly,
which cost two runs, Robert poked out
couple of hits when they counted
I most. made a hair raising catch of a
line drive, that nipped a promising
rally. and cavorted around right field
like big Lacquer. The whole out
fit conducted themselves i'm bang up
style, the infield working like n piece
OF machinery.
E1lensburg of Color
The Ellensburg team did not NAV
its usual smooth game. being shy a
couple of outfielders. A three run
lead is generally enough for that gang
to win with, but the old snan and
ginger was missing Sunday. The en-
ergetic efforts of Secondbaseman
woods also put the Colts in the hole
on couple OF occasions Woods. who
Is one of the nifticst ballplayers that
ever hit this section tried to play three
positions. and help out the first base
man. and the load was too much for
even that grand ball player to pack
around. After Metcalfe had received
iacing in the first inning he quit
and Shortstop Brown gave up the
ghost after making an error
Good Umpiring.
George Berens did the umpjrine
ana showed class. Everybody thought
1t something of joke Tor him To
handle the indicator, but before he
got through with his job, he demon
strated his superiority in that line 50
thoroughly that Archibald Wishard
manager of the Ellensburg team,
thought the work Was well done. Any
time an Jumps" receives bouquets
from Archibald he is somthinp ont Of
the ordinary. Two kicks were reg
istered against Berens, and they were
to weak to stand alone. Nelson threw
strong game.
Wahis Get Trimming.
Toppenish laced the uphoolstering
out of the Wahis Sunday at Toppenish
grounds, winning by the outlandish
score of II to 0. SberreI, the Wahis
pitcher, was numerically walIoped.
Toppenish played errorIess ball in the
field. Charlie Jewett made one
hand catch that was a pippin. Next
Sunday the Tigers take another crack
at the Wahis, while Toppenish is
struggling with EIIensburg.
