both of which were won by the Kla-
How-Yahs. The FASTENERS were shut
out Decoration Day by a score Of to
O. Singleton didn't seem to have a
thing in his repertoire and the Kla-
How-Yahs got to him for eleven hits
Sing has been slow hitting his stride
this year He has faced Chapman
twice before and beat him both times,
but Chapman got sweet revenge for
previous beatings. The FASTENERS
were wobbly with their support, West
contributing five errors to the gayety
of the occasion. This same boy West
pulled off one exhibition stunt later,
that atoned for his misdeeds, stopping
a liner going mile minute that
nearly took him off his feet and get
ting the out at first. The stand gave
him hand for the swell piece of field
ing. Chapman pitched fine game,
tanning eleven and being hit for only
three safeties. Welts was the batting
kid, gathering three of the eleven hits.
Sundays game was with the Ex-
celsiors of Seattle, a fast semi-pro-
aggregation. Welts opened the matinee
by stealing second and home and in
the third the Kla-How-Yahs cinched
the game with two runs on four hits.
Eddy, for the Excelsiors, was sent to
the stable after the third inning and
Ingersoll was sent to the mound to
pull the game out fthe fire. He
pull the game out of the fire. He
rather freely but when hits meant
runs was stingy. Three hits in the
fifth failed to deliver a run, but one
came over in the eighth on two hits
and an error. Chapman had difficulty
finding the plate but bangup fielding
occasions. What should have been a
shutout he spoiled himself by trying
to locate the top of the rightfield
fence on a peg to first and run came
over. Krause, usually lightning fast
and sure on his pegs across the dia-
mond, raised his sights and fired at
the bleachers twice, but lucky fielding
kept the Excelsiors from scoring
Parent and Ingersoll were the only
players who could find Chapman,
Parent getting to him for two hits and
Ingersoll for one. Schroeder had a
good day in left with three chances and
not skip. Harkness and his war club
played a prominent part in the pro-
ceedings, gathering three swats during
the session.
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the fans to crab at Manager
Davis. He played second in both
games. Davis is no Lajoie, but he
played a creditable game at second
during both games. Sunday he took
three fielding chances without an
error, walked twice and sacrificed
once. If there is anything in that rec
ord to crab at we fail to see it. We
don't mind seeing player grabbed at
occasionally when he bungles, but this
thing of nagging a player who is
holding up his end of the game is poor
craftsmanship. Davis didn't get a hit.
Neither did Welts, Schroeder nor Bun
stine, but you didn't hear any small
town talk directed at them 1t isn't
any credit to hear constant panning
at the manager because he happens
to be wearing a uniform and doesn't
play as spectacularly as the other
players. The fans ought to cut it out.
Ladies Day brought the fair sex in
good numbers and the men came also.
Naturally. Next Sunday the team
goes to Bremerton. The navy yard
team will make the Kla-How-Y
show what they have really got as it
is about the stiffest proposition to
tackle in semi-pro ranks. If we win
that game well have to admit we've
got some team An excursion will be
run by the local management. The
beautiful trip to Bremerton coupled
with a rafting good game, should pull
large crowd out of Everett
The Pastimers defeated Gold Bar
last Sunday with West pitching The
Pastimers will meet the fast Marys
vile team on the local grounds next
Sunday with Singleton pitching Man
ager Edney has a good, fast team, and
the fans should turn out Sunday
