When the Giants and Athletics
played their one-sided series in
1905, Mathewson was the wonder,
banking the Athletics in three
games.
In 1906 when the Chicago
teams settled the question of SUI
premacy in their seven-game
struggle, Robe, the substitute
White Sox saved the day with his
two-base hits.
In 1907 Claude Rossman, the
Detroit first baseman, a player of
mediocre quality, doomed up as
a star. The Cubs won, but above
their victory stood big Rossman's
playing.
In 1908 Johnny King of the
Cubs was the star.
In 1909 Babe Adams, the unad-
vertised pitcher of the Pirates, was
a wonder. His pitching won for
Pittsburg after a red hot, seven
game fight. Adams was scarcely
known outside of Pittsburg save
as a promising youngster. His
worlds series work made him the
most talked of player in the land.

Tacoma High Hopeful
Of Beating Lincoln

The Tacoma High school eleven
took a rest last Saturday and
made a trip to Seattle for the pur-
pose Of getting a line on the play
ing of Lincoln High school, whom
they play IL Tacoma a week from
next Saturday. The local boys
believe that it will be an easy
matter to beat the Seattle school
providing they play in the same
form as with the Wenatchee High
school team, who beat them IL
to 0 Saturday.
Coach Dobie of the U. OF w.
said after the game that he be-
lieved Broadway this year had a
far better team than Lincoln. AS
Dobte usually hits 1t right and as

Il haven't got time to talk tic

ly, but if / had another hitter
left, 1 wouldn't let you bat this
inning. l told you to cut out that
grandstand business, and if ii
hadn't been for Hallen here you'd
have tossed off this game"
The other players added their
tributes of censure, and it was a
crushed young man who paved
around among the bats looking
for his favorite stick. For the
first time in his young life, Potts
was tanned; he had nothing to
say. He was a yellow dog; every
body had told him so. Worse than
that, he realized it himself. Once
he opened his mouth.
II thought l could make that
CATCH" he said weakly.
You thought" snarled Kelly
viciously. Didn't you know
James was the next man up? He
hasn't had a hit off me all sea-
son!"
The Big Chief was first at bat
in the last of the ninth, and
when he calmly removed his cap
and flicked the dust from the plate
a hopeful shout went up from the
bleachers.
xiii it, Chief" they yelled.
Kill it,"

countered the Gray rooters.
The Big Chief waited for the sec
ond strike took it without a move
and then met the third one fairly.
The ball flew on a line into right
field, and the Big Chief paused on

vey at the top of his voice.
Potts was the next man at bat.
AS he left the circle marked for
the waiting hitter, the temperature
of the crowd seemed to change.
Kisses and groans were mixed in
with the applause for the chiefs

Smiling Kelly, who had taken
the Chiefs signal, rushed after
Potts and took him by the arm.

he painted. Just dump one down
between the pitcher and third
anything to get the Chief down
there. Blunt the first ball pitch
ed-remember now, the first one"
There was a deep silence as the
youngster swung himself into posi-
ton, moving his bat up and down
in short, jerky circles.
Come on, Frank" roared the
Gray catcher to Mulvey. "Here's
something pretty soft! Git this
busher!"
Potts took one look at the Big
Chief. who was slowly edging away
from first base, balancing his body
so that he might plunge in either
direction. Then he looked at Null
vey. For the first time he noticed
what a big man the pitcher really
was. He was chewing tobacco,
and there was a sardonic grin on
his thin face.
From high up in the grand stand
came a single yell, high-pitched as
the howl of a wolf.

ST. MARTINS WINS
GAME BY A SAFETY

Driven to their own three yard
line In the game with st. Martins
college last Saturday the U. P. s.
eleven attempted a forward pass
which was stalled, resulting in a
safety for the boys from Lacy.
The score stood 2 to 0 till the end
of the game. 1t was a hard fought
battle throughout and came near
resulting in a 0 to 0 score.
During the earlier part of the
game poor tactics by the quarter
back Of the local college team
