Ola you beat your wire last

Lot of the fans were sore

1t was one of those games that
We ought to have WOE.
Vancouver ought never to have
got those first two runs that tied
the score. Tacoma should have
won in the ninth with Mike on
third and nobody out. Lewis and
Engle had no business getting on
bases in the tenth and opening
the way for the Tiger blow-up.
But, bless your soul, that's
baseball. 1t might have been the
other way and you'd nave been
tickled to death. 1t certainly

No License to Win.
AS a matter of strict fact, Ia,

to the Tigers 6. Tacoma made
three errors (extreme kindness OF

However we could have taken
it just as well as not and been
back just a half game behind
in the league race, SO it was aw-
fully exasperating.

ever did make in the first after
two men were out, on Bassey's

Then the score stayed tied til
the ninth. Schmutz was pitching
pretty we'll, tanning one mar
every inning, allowing several hits
but always tightening UP when
run threatened.
In the ninth inning-score stfl
tied-Vancouver got one hit ant
stolen base, then went out, one
