Biggest Crowd of the Season, In
GLIDING 200 Mckee Rooters,
Witness Great Game
H. MARKS OUT FOR
FOUR INNING S
Accident May Have Changed Re-
suit, So Nothing Will Suit the
Fans But to Have the Same
Two Teams Clash Again

Ideal weather and all kinds of ex-
element marked the game of base
ball at Sumach park Sunday afternoon
between the Mckee team and the
| Tigers of this city. Victory went to
the Tigers by the score of to 4, but
it was so full of excitement and the
meritorious plays were all SO enthus-
iastically applauded that the best of
feeling prevailed and everyone got
the full worth of his money. The
crowd was one of the largest of the
season, about 1000 in all, of whom
200 were visitors from the hustling
burg of Mckee.
There were numerous brilliant plays
made, some by one side and some by
the other, which were roundly ap-
plauded. One accident marked the
game, and had it not happened the
result might have been different. 1t
! happened in the third inning, and had
i the effect of putting Henry Marks out
Of the game from that period until
the beginning of the seventh inning.
This is what happened:
| Yantis, first man to bat for Mckee,
knocked a grounder straight at Cap
Grover. 1t looked like sure out,
but just as it reached him it took a
hop and went over his head so that
no particular damage was done.
Erickson and H. Marks went out in
order, Sanders .makiHg.a great uF1<up
of the grVunder of the latter, throw
Fling him out at first base Mckee was
retired in the second and third in
pings without a runa although in the
FIatter, after two were out, Yantis
made ,double and Gfckson a''single.
and from that time on the baserun-
ners Rugged the sacks, fearful of be-
ing thrown out, .+ $50 Y
! -.R. Grover led off, for the Tigers in
the first inning by batting a high fly
between second base and right
field, upon which he made two bases.
Cap Grover tried to sacrifice him
to third, but batted a little fly
to D. Marks. Russell singled and
and stole second, r. Grover of course
landing on third. Cromer and Nissep
went out, leaving two on bases. The
Tigers were BANKED in the second. =
II. Marks Injured
The Tigers made their first runs in
the last half of the third. Nelson,
first up, struck out. r. Grover came
next, and in the course of time batted
foul, which H. Marks went after.
He got under it and would probably
have caught it had it not been for an
accident The ball descending bare

stand. just enough to slightly defect

4 his hands. The result was temper
airy knockout. Blood flowed freely,
and his friends would not allow him
to continue catching until after he
had been fixed up by surgeon, al
though he wanted to keep right, IN
the game. He was taken up town IN
an automobile and had the injured
nose, dressed after which he returned
to the park in time to get back into
the game at the beginning of the
seventh inning.
Tigers Commence Scoring
After a short delay Hanson went
from second base to back of the bat,
while Dick Dillon, member of the
Cubs of North Yakima, who was
watching the game from the grand
stand, threw on a suit and went to
second. Whether as a result of the
accident or not the fact remains that
/ right there and then the Tigers COM
menced to score. This is no reflection
on the playing of either Hanson or
Dillon, for both played well.
r. Grover made a single. j. Grow
err singled and went to second on the
throwing, r. Grover scoring from
first base. Russell made three strikes,
lbut got to first on Hanson's error.
I Russell stole second. Cromer batted
a grounder to Riebe. who threw j.
Grover out at the home base. Cromer
stole second. Nissen batted the ball
Russell and Cromer, but was left
there when Martin struck out
The Tigers scored one each in the
fourth and fifth innings. In the fourth
Saunders led off with a safe hit.
Getchell struck out and Nelson went
out on fly to Slavin. h. Grover
! singled to left and went on to third
when Yantls allowed the ball to get
past him, Sanders scoring from sec
ond.
Russell started the fifth with a
double, went to third on an infield
| out and scored on a wild pitch.
At the end of the fifth inning the
score stood five to nothing in favor Of
the Tigers. SO the Mckee boys con-
cluded that they would get busy with
their bats and give an exhibition of
rungetting They did 1t and threw
such a scare into the Tigers and the
home rooters that it amounted almost
to a panic. d. Marks started the fun
| for the Mckee adherents by landing
for a nice single. Nelson aimed one
at Yantis and hit him, sending that
slugger to first and d. Marks TO
second. Erickson batted a grounder
to J. Grover4 who picked it up and
tried for a double play He tossed
the ball several feet over Brother
Roy's head so ali hands were safe
and the bases all occupied with base
runners Dillon hit the ball kerpllink
and IL shot past Russell To Cromer in
fright field. Cromer was playing close,
land easily threw Dillon out at first,
