Spokane 8, Tacoma 0
Spokane l. Tacoma 1

Spokane /, Tacoma 1.
The Tigers spoiled happy
Sunday for lot of us yesterday.
Spokane won the first game by
two hits, and tied the second on
three. Tacoma made a total of
six hits during the two games,
Abbott getting three, Bassey two
and Coleman one.
Errors, the same old story
that's why.
Witness of Blaine Gordon in
the first, and Abbott's plain muff
of a fly down the first base foul
line, starting the scoring against
us in the first inning.
Netzel was on first on four balls
when Cooney drove the ball out
Abbott's way. The fans thought
IL was foul, but Mccarthy call
go Netzel scored and Cooney went
TO third. Then the Spokane
shortstop scored on Kippert's sac
rifice fly.
That wasn't all, for in the third
inning Zimmerman got a pass.
Cartwright sacrificed him, and
Nordyke drove in the third run
with the first hit of the game.
Nice, wasn't it?
The series of calamities SEEM
ed to get the Tigers goat, and
they never had a look-in after
that.
In the second game, Spokane
won its score by hits by Netzel.
Kippert and Nordyke, while Ia
coma's run was forced In by Will
lis failing to find the plate.
The only bright spot in the
game was Annis' stunt of letting
men get on second and third with
no one out, then forcing three
batters In a row to go out on easy
pop-ups.
Tauscher made a great catch of
a hard driven ball almost back OF
first base, and got a hand for it.
McCarthy's calling of strikes
and balls was weird. He called
them strikes and balls alternate
ly, no matter whether they went
anyways near the plate or not.

took both games from Victoria
yesterday. although the Giants
were outbatted in the first game
by the cellar champions. Good
man was put out of the first game
for disputing a decision. Thor
sen lost the first game for the
Bees when he muffed a fly in the
field, allowing two Seattle runs
to cross the plate. Zackert and
McCreery pitched good ball in the
first game. Wigs had good
advantage over Thorsen in the lat

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-With
the program of the days proceeding
almost wholly added on in advance
the Republican national committee
met here today in quadrennial session.
The executive committee went into
session at ten o'clock. The meeting
of the full committee was scheduled
for an hour later. One of the first
subjects considered was the selection
of city for the national convention
and it was conceded in advance that
Chicago would undoubtedly win the
honor but the committee decided to
give up an hour and half Of it's
time to hear the claims Of other cities.
Denver, st. Louis, Cincinnati, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore were rivals Of
Chicago.
The time of the convention was also
to be fixed. Probabilities favoring the
last week in June. The Taft forces,
directed by Charles D. Hilles, secre-
tary to the president, had won the
first serious contest attending the
