Hoquiam and Aberdeen broke even
this week, each team capturing two
games, and in every instance, the
contests were we'll played and excit-
ing until the last. Not single one
of the games was a runaway, but
all We're fought until the last, yes
terday's contest, won by Hoquiam by
the score of 13 to 9, proving no ex-
ception.
1t was a large crowd that attend
ed the game yesterday at Electric
park and it was happy crowd that
journeyed to Hoquiam, after winning
a game that Manager Kelly had al
ready figured out in his percentage
column.
The defeat by the sister city team
showed Aberdeen down into second
place again, in company with Che
halls, while Centralia, by a victory
jumped to the top of the heap.
Hoquiam started to pitch Ofsted,
but his curves did not prove very
bewildering to the Aberdeen players,
and result of single by Gardner,
a three bagger by Holderman and a
bingo by Kelly, two men scored. Kane
was then placed in the limelight and
he did not terrorize the Black Cats,
who batted his offerings around the
park. He suffered bad inning, three
costly errors being made behind him,
allowing three men to come home.
HOquiam found it to her advantage
to do some scoring, so in the second
inning, a two Dagger by Ettinborogh
singles by Palmer, Kane and Ford
netted Hoquiam three runs.
Three more bingles in the next
spasm gave Hoquiam another trio of
runs and the lead by one score.
Aberdeen ambled leisurely along for
three more innings and in the sixth
three singles, double and a base on
balls gave the Cats four more tai
lies.

ing mob, was as peaceful as a Sum
day school picnic. 1t looked like sure
defeat and there was a cloud of gloom
over the seats which extend into Ho-
quiam.
Boyle, who was on the firing line
for Aberdeen, hit Kane in the ribs
with pitched ball. Ofsted was an
easy out, Kane going to second and
later stealing third Turk was Civ.
en- base on balls and Ford hit safe
scoring Kane. With Ford and Turk
pouulating the cushions, Kinkelen
connected with one for four sacks,
the ball clearing the left field fence
on nice shape. Hoquiam now lead by
one score. Boyle was jerked and
Helmecke sent in to retrieve the
game, but it was too late, as Ho-
quiam had grown mad and three
more scores in the next inning gave
them the contest.

Aberde 5, Hoquiam
Aberdeen won Saturdays game
from Hoquiam, when Reams hit one
of Starkell's curves over the left field
fence scoring two men, who were
perched on the bases awaiting a time
ly swat. 1t was a fine game and
Starkell of Hoquiam, was entitled to
win, but wretched support and 4
bunch of errors, as well as poor base
running, lost for his team. Hell
mecke was hit harder than StarkeIl,
but his team played ball behind him
and kept the score down. The fea-
ture of the game was the long drive
by Reams, which captured the contest.
