innings, protested.
With the score tie, two out, and
two on bases in the last gasp of the
ninth inning, big Ben Kohls, Tiger
captain and first baseman, leaned his
frame against one of Pitcher Roff's
choice offerings, and chased the decid-
ing run across the platter, and won
the Yakima Prosser game by the score
of to 5, in a game replete with sem
.sational plays, errors and good pitch
ing. The poke of Mr.. Kohls was
physicologically opportune, and came
when it was most needed and sent the
fans, who braved the windy weather.
home happy. The ball Kohls hit went
on a straight line for the left field
fence, and was a home run, clearing
the boards, but only counts as hit
in the game records.
Opening Game Ceremonies.
Five hundred people saw the game,
and if the weather man had been
kind the crowd would have been
doubled. The grandstand was crowd
ed and contained a large delegation
of women fans who rooted for the
Tigers and the bleachers were we'll
filed. Mayor Armbruster pitched the
first ball and made an opening speech,
which was applauded. "Warhorse'
Steele delayed the proceedings by in
ssting on taking everybody's picture.
The second baseman has developed in
to a camera fiend, and just as Mayor
Armbruster was getting ready to pitch
the first ball, Steele lined Doc An
gus and the Prosser gang in a row,
and the Mayor and the crowd waited
while the bunch looked pleasant
Tigers Start With Rush.
The game opened with the Tigers
in the field, and they chartered like
a bunch of magpies at first, banking
Prosser in the opening inning. In
their half they went after Pitcher Rolf
of the visitors with a rush, and
crammed two runs across the plate. In
the third they annexed three more
TALES making the score five to
nothing. The Tigers runs were scored
on errors of the visitors shortstop,
aided by a three base clout Of Johnny
Nissen. Nelson held the visitors help
less in the opening innings, and 1t
looked like a shut out for Doc"
Angus.
Prosser Grabs Tie.
Wobbly work by Shortstop Sullivan
of the Tigers and an overthrow by
Catcher Chisholm to first gave the
RED Coats two runs in the sixth. In
the seventh Nelson walked two men,
and two hits followed, tieing the score
which caused the lower valley gang in
the bleachers and in the grandstand
to show signs of life. Shortstop Sui
livan, usually nifty performer. must
have failed to get a letter from his
girl last week, for he lacked the GUS
tomary ginger, and made couple of
two base-heaves into the bleachers,
and the game came close to leaking
through his position. The score was
a tie for the last two innings, and it
looked like an overtime session, in the
ninth with twi out when Capt. Kohls
came through with his husky clout
and broke up the party.
Chisholm Looks Good.
Chisholm, the new catcher imported
to fill Kellys place, made hit with
the crowd, even if he did make
couple of errors. The young mans
hand is raw from stopping a wicked
foul in the game over week ago, but
he stuck to his post and fits into the
team nicely. He has a beautiful peg
to the bases, and caught every man
that attempted to steal on him. He
impressed the fans With his conscien-
tious work. He is not the polished
performer that Kelly is, but he is
