BEST BATTER

ICY" Neighbors is going to be
the mainstay at the bat for the
Tigers this year if he lives up to
his past record. The big Sioux
City left fielder has an eagle eye
land can bingle 'em out like a ma
jor Lacquer. Last year he had a
batting percentage of 1928 and a
fielding average of 1854.
Don Cameron, the big first base
man who was purchased from
Oakland, is the only man who
stands higher than Neighbors in
fielding percentage, Cameron hav-
ing played .9S9 last year. Both Of
these percentages are creeping
mighty close to the perfect mark.
Mike Lynch was not so far be-
hind either. Last year he batted
.2S2 and fielded .957. OF the
pitchers doc" Higgins did the
best batting last year having a rec
ord of 1876, while Bert Hall Is the
low man of the club with rec
ord of 1923. But then pitchers
are not expected to knock home
runs every time they're at bat.
In the record table completed
to date as far as possible by Prest-
dent A. E. Rothermel, the 1912
squad is the most promising the
city has had in some time, con-
sidering the fact that there are a
large number of youngsters.

SUCCESS

1.-THE cleanest and best amateur
boxing and sport ever held in Ia
coma" was the expression of
members of the Tacoma Athletic
club last night after attending the
first smoker and entertainment.
There were just 315 members
present with a very small sprink-
ling of guests and police officers
who enjoyed the evening and de-
clared there was no violation of
the law.
Outside the Moose hall the fans
began to gather early. Long be-
fore the doors were open nom
members of the club who expected
to find the smoker a public enter
tainment who were forced to cool
their heels on the curb and steps
and listen to the laughter of club
members within.
With one or two exceptions
where club members who had vol
unteered to appear on the program
who disappointed Cecretary Har-
ry Andrews and the entire club,
the program ran off smoothly and
some clever work was done by the
men. Eight and six ounce gloves
were used and at no time were
any of the boxers endangered.
Frank Street and James O'Mal-
ley were the main attraction in
a six round bout with no decision.
Street appeared to have the adj
vantage and worked more openly.
He used his left hand effectively.
Street weighed las and O'Malley
142. O'Malley displayed good
footwork and close range tactics.
Harry Jewell met Harry Mus
son. who had been billed as the
Mysterious Stranger. Musson had
the better of the first two of the
six rounds. Jewell took the third
and the fifth and sixth were of
character to entitle him to draw
had decision been made. Both
lads are fast.
Victor Mcconnell and Boots
Christian had four rounds of ex-
ercise. The men were hardly IN
condition and the time was shad-
ed. The honors were evenly d.
vided.
Joe Richmond, 104 and George
Smith, 1875. went four fast rounds
Joe was too fast for the 1875
pound club member so the heav-
Ter man volunteered.
