The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1912-05-10
Once xore Ne Win

noon dC the jim King grounds,
between West Sound and Gerard's
Tigers. The score was 8 to S in
Friday Harbor's favor, but it only
gives faint conception of the
game. Only those who were there
can appreciate what s to S means.
In the first inning it was 8 to 0 in
west Sounds favor, and this contin-
ued for some time. Then it was 3
70 then 3 to 2. then a to 8, with
the Tigers in the lead. Up to this
time the West Sound rooters, and
they were loyal lot, had made
LIE burden to the Friday Harbor
spectators and fans, but this
changed the tune, and you should
have heard it. 1t was short-lived,
however, West Sound again taking
the lead making the score to 4.
Their hats were again in the air.
and their voices becoming hoarse
from much yelling. But finally the
inevitable came to pass somebody's
suspenders broke something went
up in the air, and when theronfu-
sion was over the score was Friday
Harbor s, West Sound 5, and so it
remained.
Caravan and Anderson, the West
Sound battery, were effective, but
couldn't keep tie pace set at the
beginning. On the other hand
Stages and Murray Gid their best
work in the last four innings.
As team Friday Harbor played
the stronger game and showed to
good advantage in every inning.
We think no one will think us par
tial in making special mention of
Anderson at first. The position
could hardly have been played bet
ter.
A pleasing feature was the fact
that Art Mckay lad authority to
keep the crowd back of the side
lines, and did it.
Altogether the day and the game
was all that could have been desired
so far as Friday Harbor is concern
ed, and we trust West Sound has
no serious complaint at their treat
ment. The umpire was fair and
certainly did not give US the best of
it.
The score by innings follows:
West Sound 3-0-0-0-0-O-0-2-0-5
Friday Harbor -0-0-0-0-1-1-2-4-x- 8
While the Tigers were winning
here the Friday Harbor White Sox
were also doing things at Lopez.
1t took eleven innings to convince
the Lopez boys that they were beat
en-, and it wasn't such a bad beat at
that. The score was only 10 to 9,
and it was see-saw from start to
finish. Francis and Kelly was the
White Sox battery, with Raymond
and Graham for Lopez.
Following is the score by innings:
Lopez 0-0-0-3-0-2-0-1-1-2-0- 9
White Sox--0-0-2-2-1-O-O-1-2-1-1-1O
But the High School lads in their
game with Bellingham Normal boys
didn't fare so we'll. They were
beaten 9 to 2, and they played good
ball too. Their fielding was unus-
ual, and the team work was fine
Most Of the scores against them
were from passed balls, the catcher
not being able to hold Pitcher Crab
am S curves.
The bellingham Tigers VS.. Ger
ards Tigers is the way the game is
ar nounced for next Sunday. 1t
may mean an awful drubbinng for
the boys here, or it may be sur
prise to the aggregation from Bell
ingham. Not knowing the lineup
it is impossible to say. An excur-
sion will accompany the visitors. so
rooters will be plenty, and an inter-
esting contest may be expected.
The White Sox will play at Roche
Harbor Sunday. and are likely to
make it interesting for the boys at
the north end.
Another Pioneer Gone
One by one the old timers pass
away. This time it is Robert Ham

who died Sunday at the home of his
