TIGERS PLAY VERY PATHETIC EXHIBITION
M'MULLIN'S MISCUES
DISGUST THE FANS

journeyed out TO the ball farm
yesterday with the expectation of
seeing ball game. Their fond
est hopes were dashed, however,
for a most pathetic exhibition of
the national pastime was staged.
III anyone went away pleased with
the contest he or she concealed
the fact admirably. The Bengals
could not hit flock of barns,
their fielding was reminiscent of
class X league, and the pitching
was ON a par with the rest of 1t.
Outside of this, they played pref
ty good ball.
A bright, shining feature of the
farce was the work of Thirdsack-
er McMullin, who went to play
short. Mac proved conclusively
that as a shortstop he Is very
good third baseman, and as
. third baseman he is good short
stop. He can shoulder a large
part of the responsibility for the
runs the Tilikums got. Finally
Netzel was shifted over to the
short field and McMullin was put
back on third, to the great relief
of the spectators.
The sole, solitary, and only run
garnered by the Cats came in the
eighth. Netzel drew one of the
liberal MIR. Dell's passes, and
young Mr.. Fries Immediately
, Slapped three pillow blow to
right center, Metz coming across.
Fries, however, caused much WON
. der and no admiration by res
naming impassively on third
while Jackson and Dell were dis
posing of a hard and difficult
swat by Neighbors. Several per-
sons audibly commented they saw
= large elephant somewhere with
ivory tusks. Paradoxical, hut to
the point.
Describing how Seattle made
their scores would be mere mis-
spent energy and hard on a fever
ed brain. Errors galore, pitching
of a minus quality by Messrs. Bel
ford, Kurfess and Girot, and time
ly swatting by the Tilikums spell
the reason.
Weiser Dell, the lengthy and
handsome HEAVIER of the ills. was
rather effective at critical per-
fods, although as wild as Kilken-
ny Irishman who discovers
Dutchman at his wake. Neyerthe-
less and Notwithstanding. weiser
won his game.
Tacoma fans are not extremely
pleased with the showing of the
Tigers. The team is weak Mt the
bat, to all appearances, and ex-
tremely apt to go to pieces i'm the
field at the inopportune moment.
The pitching staff does not ap-
pear as effective as it did in the
earlier part of the season. 1t is
not our policy to knock, but Ia
coma fans should get a run for
their money.
Q
Holderman was the only Cat to
bat Dell at all. He cracked out
four hits in as many times to the
bat.
Felts appeared in left field.
While his work out there was all
right, he could not find the ball
for safe hits.
Kurfess made a hit through &C
cident. The ball was going
straight at T. Raymond when 1t
hit Holderman, running to third,
and put him out. The Kid is
scored with a hit on the play.
Lou Nordyke was the object of
many vehement and derogatory
remarks regarding his ability as
an umpire. and his decisions were
grabbed at by the fans continual
~. Some people seem to forget
man on the field is much closer
to the play and can see what is
going ON better than some wise
acre I'm the bleachers or grand
stand.
Grindle caught a couple of in
n1ngs yesterday, and both McMur-
do and Ruell We're sent in for
pinch hits. Were sent in, but
did not deliver.
Cadman delivered In the
pinches as usual yesterday. His
first hit was a triple to center.
the next a single. Cad is there
with that stuff.
