What the Smokestacllers did to Muk-
ilteo at the ball yard last Sunday was
a crime. The score-22 to 2-sounds
like football game and it did resemble
it somewhat. The clans down there on
the spit turned over in their beds when
they heard the news and the fans slowly
stepped off the train and silently wend-
ed their way homcward. Silent were
the horns as the funeral procession
marched solemnly up the hill from the
depot. Strong men wept as the defeated
band of diamond gladiators mfolded the
details of the massacre
Recurring to the game. With iaunty
steps the Sandspitters surged onto the
field at the call of the umpire while
their supporters settled back into their
seats and licked their chops with an
ticipation of another easy victory. They
drove Singleton to the stable once ami
they had not forgotten But it was
different Singleton that faced them.
Two strikeouts and an easy infield out
made them kind of sit up and peek at
their hole card. However, never mind.
Carroll will show EN-! He did! Two
hits netted three runs for Everett right
off the reel. Right then it began to
dawn on the NIukiteo bugs that this
was different-oh, entirely different
team from the one they met before.
Came the second inning, Nothing do
ng for the Sandspitters but in Everett's
half-mercy, Agnes, it was awful
Seven runs were chalked up, two walks
and choice collection of errors before
MIR. Carroll was sent to the bench. Rehm
came in to pitch and was touched up
for another run before the inning ended
Oh what's the use! The Smokestack-
ers batted the pill to all corners of the
lot, stole bases and raised Cain general
y. Strong crossed the plate six times
before the matinee ended. and every man
on the team got one or more hits except
Fay. Giddings led the batting with four

swing at the pellet.
ALukilteo's two tallies in the third
were pure gifts. With two down Fay
dropped an easy fly. The next man up
drove to Martin on third. Reachen
rounded second as Martin dove for the
ball Martin fielded it clean but in
stead of touching Reachcn who was al
most on him with no chance to stop.
threw wild to first and both men scored.
1t was a boneheaded play all right and
Martins team mates had lots of fun
kidding him about it.
The rest of the game was dull agony,
the Smokestackers hitting for two and
three sacks and scoring as they pleased
and never letting the Sandspitters mean
The plate. Nineteen hits and % runs
was the total while hits and > runs
was the sum on the Mukilteo side.
Port Ludlow comes next Sunday and
IIealy promises different performance.
BY the way, Ludlow will have to be
stronger combination than anything
seen here yet to get away from this ag-
gregation of sluggers Healy has collect
ed. Ludlow has a reputation Of being
very fast team. Let us all hope so.
1t took half an hour of the sport writ
ers' valuable time after the game was
over to figure out the dope and Coffin
has been seeing figures all week. He
had perfectly good score book looking
like Chinese laundry ticket When
