Aberdeen dropped three games to
Chehalis last week and Hoquiam took
the Centralia team down the line for
three contests, bringing to the fans
Of the harbor some JOY for the defeat
suffered by the Cats at the hands OF
Haley's hirelings.
Aberdeen had been unfortunate in
having two of her pitchers on the sick
list, Smith, who was injured a week
ago, being unable to play owing to
his sprained ankle. and Joss, com
planning of an injured arm. This
gave big Heine Helmecke the brunt
of work to do and as result, he was
overworked and Chehalis took to his
offerings like a cat to milk and ham
mered three contests under the wire
A large crowd was present yester-
day to see Aberdeen get sweet re-
venge for the terrible drubbing of
the week, and all seemed satisfied
when the final score of to 0 in fav-
or of the cats was announced.
A lad named Smith was the jinx
for the visitors, this youth coming to
the harbOr yesterday to pitch for the
Aberdeen team. He was sent in on
the firing line and when he opened
up, it was seen that he had every
thing necessary to win the game. He
had terrific speed and fast curves.
He held the visitors at his mercy I'M
til the eighth inning when they got
their first single, but not a man cross
ed the rubber. He was given excel
lent support, the fielding of Reams
being one of the sensations of the
game.
Archer pitched good ball for Che
halls but his support was ragged.
Three of the four scores against him
were the results of errors

Aberdeen was easy picking for
Chehalis Saturday afternoon, when
the pitching staff went to the bow
vows the Chehals lads took oc-
casion to fatten up their batting av-
erages, winning the battle by a large
margin. Joss was sent in to pitch
for Aberdeen but he quit in the sixth
inning and Gardner was sent to the
slaughter. His offerings We're ham
mered for extra bases, as We're those
from Joss. The score by innings
