TACOMA LAD WINS
FOR THE BEAVERS

The Tigers got the short end of
a double-header that closed the
baseball season at Vancouver Sat
urday. Incidentally Tacoma got
some glory out of it, however, for
it was Leo McQuarry, the 15-year-
old High school lad of this city,
who pitched the Beavers to victory
in the second game and he did it
against Hall at that. In the sec
ond game Tacoma went down 8 to
with Hall and McQuarry pitch
ing. McQuarry Is the youngest
pitcher In professional baseball
and he held the Tigers down to six
hits Saturday. Bob Brown says
he will be ripe for the major
league in another year. If that Is
true he will be in the major league
before he>is II years old.

TACOMA R|FLEMEN
MAKE FINE MARK

Tacoma rifiemen are still break
ing records in the shoots with
other coast teams. The club fin
ished the season yesterday with a
great score which istanced all rec
ords on the coast.
In the Coast league match yes
terday the Tacoma team scored
500 points. Scofield was high with
1e9 and Coy second with 1873.
Later the state match was shot
and the boys made total of
1,056, which is also a record
breaker. How the other clubs in
the leagues shot is not known but
1t is not believed they can equal
these figures. Tacoma expects to
win both the State and the Coast
league cups.

He performs as brilliantly in
the infield as he does in the out
er garden and some critics are
good enough to say that if given
more time at third base he would
become a star at that corner. He
plays the INSIDE stuff like a veter-
and is a demon on the bags. In
addition to this he is one of the
best hitters in the Pacific Coast
league, averaging around .270.

TIGERS Win
A DOUBLE
HEADER

Baseball went out in Tacoma
yesterday with a double-header
victory for the Tigers over Van
couver and a pillow fight for a
wind-up.
he last game was farce, every
body indulglng in horseplay in
stead of baseball until the specta-
tors caught the spirit of the after
noon at the end of the sixth inn ing
and began bombarding the play
ers with cushions. The latter
abandoned the game and there
was a pitched battle with plenty
of hilarity and no one hurt.
The big thing of the afternoon
was the home run of Byrnes in the
