.FRARY FALLS IN BAD
WITH SPOKANE FANS

| the fast little Beaver shortstop, so
his Jumps" called him safe by a
hair.
With this congenial assistance,
Vancouver had the Spokane bats
men raveling out at the heels in
one, two, three order throughout
six innings, but in the seventh,
after Scharnweber had died on the
way to first and Lewis hit into a
double that got Capron at the plate,
the Indians began to fall with little
mercy on Gardeners best.
Up to this time Davis was the
only one who had worked the COM
bination to Gardeners dope vault
and he had passed away In an at
tempt to pilfer the second sack.
Cartwright started off the seventh
with a high flyer into the right of
the pasture that, under ordinary cir
cumstances was good only for a
single, but Adams obligingly fell all
! over it and Cartwright was affect
ionally hugging the well stuffed
third cushion when the clouds of
dust he had stirred up between
there and first had cleared away.
| Weed, next up, spanked a beauty
right into Flannagan's mitt and that
eagle-eyed being of celtic cognomen
held tight. Keener dropped one
over back of third for a single and
Cartwright scored. Fans went
wild. However, this proved to be
only a spasmodic rally, which the
aborigines were unable to keep up
during the two remaining innings,
and you've got to slip it to Gardner
for keeping his equilibrium through
Cartwright's raid on second base
in the eighth and through the tur-
moil that boiled up when BROOKS,
batting for Flood in the ninth,
bounced safe upon the first sack
because of Scharnweber's inability
to work his mucilage.
On the other hand, right In the
seventh inning was where BOD
Brown. the boss Beaver, opened a
new brand of ginger. His coaching
made the fans smile stretch out
into grins that displayed all sorts
of dub and expert dentistry, ana
nut the opposing gang up on keen
edge.
They had already treated Vic
Holm a little shabbily in the third
inning, Scharnweber imposing on
him for triple and Adams for a
double, which together with sew
eral other interesting incidents,
nerted them one score, but in the
fourth they failed to connect safe.
" and only Lewis found the ball
to any advantage in the fifth, but,
from here on, the war was hot. IN
the eighth, with Gardner down, both
Adams and Breen hit safely, but
infield outs rose up as disappoint-
ment to meet the glowing ambitions
of both Streib and Flanagan.
The first half of the ninth was
hummer in which Weeds error was
responsible for the winning run,
With one down. he fumbled Cap
ron's contribution, giving Capron
a life. Scharnweber famed IN
Mother Kat2enjammer style and
Capron beat 1t for second. Ost-
dick, in his enthusiasm, skied the
ball at an angle over second that
would have discouraged hook and
ladder and Capron rambled on down
to third.
Lewis pounded the ball into some
loose ground and beat 1t for first,
Capron scoring. Gardner started
a hot line drive that looked good
, for the right field fence at the very
least but Weed sprang into midair
and glued onto it with his meat
hand Talk about grandstand
play. When Weed connected, that
! ball was travelling like an unwel-
come caller caught by papa at 1880
p. M The only trouble was that
all OF these things did not happen
at just the right time.
The score: R.H.E K.
