CLOSE SEASON
WITH TIE GAME
SMOKEsTACKERs HOOK UP
WITH ALL-STAR AGGREGA-
TION AND PLAY THE LEAG-
URES TO A STANDSTILL IN
TEN-INNING GAME.

Just to show their real class the
Smokestackers wound up the baseball
season Sunday by holding the league
all-star aggregation to a ten-inning tied
score game 1t was a formidable bunch
of ball players the locals faced ana very
few of the fans expected them to hold
them even. There was Shaw, Jackson
and Wilson of the Seattle pennant win
ners; James, of Vancouver; Mullen, OF
Lincoln, Neb, in the Central League
Brooks of Victoria; Hannah of the South
ern league; Schmutz, the Tacoma league
Finger; Quigley, of the Union Assn. No
bushers, these, and the fans wouldn't
have said a word if they had romped
away with the game. But they didn't
romp-not to any noticeable extent
and they were lucky to get out with a
tied score.
The game was all the more remarkable
for the fact that Singleton went in with
Il bad arm and pitched the entire game
under stress. In only one inning did he
show a flash OF his old form and yet
seven hits were all the leaguers could
annex from his delivery. His support
wobbled at times but in the main was
gilt edge. Martin cut off two hits over
second that seemed forlorn chances and
Holderman electrified the crowd by pick
ing one off the centerfield fence.
The all-stars scored first blood in the
fourth inning and the Smokestackers
came back in their half with four runs
on three hits and combination of er-
rors In the first of the sixth the all
stars put three across on three hits and
an error by Krause, and the Smoke.
stackers took the lead again on two hits
and an error by Hannah, who dropped
the ball at the plate, allowing krause
to score. The game should have ended
with the Smokestackers one in the lead
but in the eighth Martin presented the
leaguers with the score that evened it
up. Shaw hit for two bases and James
single advanced him to third. Ladd
threw short to second to coax Shaw off
third and with an hour to throw it in
Martin took hurried peg at the plate
and missed it a city block. Nuff sed!
From then on till the close of the tenth
when the game was called by agreement
the Nothing Doing sign was out, al
though Everett got men to second and
third with only one down in the tenth.
It was a case of ''to much Schumtz,'
Krause and Ladd dying without a strug-
gle.
Singleton's arm has not been right for
about month and those who know the
real condition he was in give him credit
for a remarkable exhibition. Over half
the game he pitched on pure nerve.
Weborg assumed the role of umpire.
The crowd didn't take kindly to his de
cisions on balls and strikes and hurled
the words "robber," blind man ana
other choice epithets at him. The kind
words didn't seem to disturb His Ump>
much and he bestowed his favors upon
the just and the unjust alike regardless
Of the protesting fans.
And so the baseball season of 1912
made its final bow to the public and
disappeared behind the curtain. You've
been a good old sport, 1912, and you
gave us a dandy ball team. Well all
hibernate a little while and then well
wake up, yelling, to greet the season OF
1918.
