Strength of Tigers Overlooked
In watching a game of baseball at
Sumach park the principal thing no
ticed in the comments of the fans is
that the strength of the Tigers is
overlooked. The Tigers have not
played game this year whore the
local pitchers, jacobson, holden and
l.. Rundstrom, did not have the bet
ter of their opponents in that very
important department. To back that
up. the Tigers have excelled to a re-
markable degree their opponents
when it came to hitting the ball. SO,
as Mr.. Dooley would say, "ther' ye

In all around fielding, baserunning.
dumping the ball, playing the hit and
run and in working out other features
of inside baseball the Tigers have al
ways had their opponents to the bad,
and have really had them outclassed.
Tigers at the Head
A word of advice and prediction
are in order. The North Yakima
Tigers are believed to be the stoutest
team in the state of Washington out
side the teams in the Pacific North
west league. That may look like a
bluff to some people, but now that it
has been written. let it go as it
looks
Colonel Payne, the manager of the
Tigers has been fortunate to get such
a we'll balanced team together. 1t
may safely be left to him to get the
best teams possible to come here to
play, in order that the loyal fans of
this city may have the opportunity of
seeing the best there is in baseball.
Even now he is absent at Seattle and
other cities of the sound hoping to
get an attraction for next Sunday
that will be worthy of the sharp claws
and teeth of the Tigers.

form a nice compact league last
spring and have something on tap
regularly that would sustain the in

different. It seems proper at this
time. however. to casually remark
that there will be no league formed
next year with North Yakima as one
of the cities composing the league un-
less North Yakima has an equal say
with the other cities as to how the
league shall be formed and run. And
the league should be forme ed early in
the year, before some Of the import
ant cities of the circuit have made
other arrangements.
Sundays Game
The much touted Phsters of Ia
coma met the Tigers at Sumach park
Sunday. and sustained their third de-
feat of the season. the score being 6
to /. The locals had a strong lineup
and the visitors never looked danger
Gus. One Mr.. holden, the lefthanded
pitcher for the locals, was to great
extent responsible for the absence of
danger. The Tacoma boys kept hust-
ling to beat the band, getting one man
on in the first, two in the third and one
each in the fourth and fifth, but it
was not until the sixth that they were
able to complete the circuit for their
only run of the game
Their run was made as follows. b
Grant started the inning with a safe
hit and stole second. He moved over
to the third corner while HeaIe was
being nailed at first. Minor to Kohls.
Baker made a safe hit and the run
came in. Ballard knocked a sharp
grounder to Minor, who caught Baker
at second on the force. and Rochon
completed the fast double by sending
the ball TO kahls in front of Ballard
