YES, TACOMA HAS HAD
A FEW PLAYERS, BASIL

It has been said that an enor.
nous amount Of men were with
the Tigers last season, and this
is just about right. McGinnity
oveFestimated the league at the
beginning, and was forced to
change all the time. Most Of the
Ffnfield, the Outfield and the
catching Staff underwent many
changes.
Second base and the pitching
staff were about the only portions
of the team that did not see a
new player introduced every
week. All the while he was
changing MoQinnity hoped to
evolve good team for next
year. He has some promising
material on hand, and may do 80.
{ Just glance at the way the
Tigers have been lining up this
'season:
/ Catchers-Crittenden, Byrnes,
|Grindle, Harris, Riordan, Crisp,
Kelly, Dunn and Heale.
Z Pitchers--McGinnity, Kaufman,
Bedford, Girot, Kurfess, Kraft,
|Concannon, Criger, Boice, Apple
gate and Wakefield.
B First base-Nordyke, Kennedy,
McMurdo, Holderman, McMullin.
HARRISON, Lanham, West.
4 Second base-Keller, HARRISON.
|Kurfess.
Third base-Chick, McMullin

Netzel. Rothfuss.
Shortstop = McMullin, Ruell,
Kurfess, Burrell, Netzel, Harbi-
son, Hensling, A. Brown, Sails
berg, Coen.
Outfielders - Cox, Saddle,
Fischer, Kennedy, Kurfess, H.
Harris, Netzel, McMurdo, Holder
man, Reynolds, Lanham, Felts,
Million, Fries and Neighbors.
Out of this enormous total
there remain but six players who
were with the team at the begin
ming of the season. These are
McGinnity, Kurfess, Belford,
Neighbors, McMullin and Keller.
OF the half dozen, Neighbors has
been longest with the team.
Some of the men acquired dur
ing the season have proven valu-
able. Kaufman, Girot, Kraft.
Harris, Million, Fries and West
are good men. Frank West, the
first baseman, looks like the
most valuable player Tacoma has
secured in a long time.
Shortstop's position was a
source of grief all season, and
Curley Coen, who filled in there
the last few days, is only a high
school lad. At that, Curley has
the making of a good ball player,
and despite his youth put up as
good a game as any of his prede-
cessOrs.

AS GOOD AS THE GAME

: The Star Ball Player, an in
genously devised arrangement
which shows all the plays and
combinations Of plays, Is now be-
ing installed at the Tacoma thea

worlds series between the New
York Giants and the Philadelphia
Athletics next week. This new
device made its first appearance
last year at the Madison Square
Gardens In New York city, where
it was patronized by wildly en-
thusiastic crowds. 1t is almost
as interesting to watch this ma
chine. it ia said, as to be actually

ments being controlled by q direct

heard from them since "The

Never before has anyone been
known to attempt such q feat of

Ter preparing to nail a runner in

You can almost see the man

as he was, he was not one bit

the photographer exposed the

Such plays are far less danger

crushing, momentum plays. The
latter break bones by sheer
power, but it is very seldom that
man is injured as the result of
a high-speed tackle out in the
open. The very speed OF runner
and tackler act as safeguard to
injury.

Much to the surprise of the gen.

Grocery Co. filed papers in volun-

doors Thursday at IL o'clock.
The firm was composed of Percy

Mrs. SalIie Smith. The business
was originally built up by j. M.
Wood, now manager of the Mer-
chants Grocery Co.. who sold it to
T. M. Buie, L. w. Smith and Col
ton M. Smith several years ago,
Mrs Smith absorbing her sons
interest on his removal to Gulfport.
A most excellent patronage has
always been accorded the store and
its vacancy will be keenly felt by
many Brookhaven housewives.
Poor collections, making it i'm
possible to meet obligations, is the
cause of the failure.
