Hitting the hay" was some
pleasure for the Spokane Indians
last night on the return trip to
their favorite home hunting grounds
for three more weeks of playing,
and they are fast looking bunch
much faster than when they went
away three weeks ago, at the tail
end of the Northwest league sched-
ule. Yesterday they administered
two more sound trimmings to the
Tacoma Tigers, making it six out
OF seven for them in the Tacoma
Spokane series.
This presents a remarkable sit
uation. for when the Indians went
to Tacoma, many rabid fans sol

Truth is they were sluggish

they went down the line after the
Tigers has been caution. Ac-

games in the whole series.
In the first game yesterday, the
Indians whipped the Tigers, the
score having been to l In favor
of the Spokane aggregation, and
in the second game they had the
big side of to 2 score. Poor
Annis, Tacoma's best pitcher, went
down to defeat for the first time
out of 10 games he has pitched
yesterday morning, but that was
much due to errors by the infield
at critical moments. Ryan pitched
against Annis, for Spokane, and

In the afternoon game Jess
Baker and Bert Hall, two old-time
chums, were pitted against one an
other, and while Hall failed to solve
the mystery of Bakers curves, Jess
tumbled to Berts very best on two
different occasions, connecting
safely as one would wish. Here in
the afternoon game, Tacoma's err
rors again proved costly.
Today the Spokane boys will play
two games with the Seattle Colts,
the first contest with this team on
the home grounds this season. The
first game is called for 1880 and
the second for 6 o'clock.
