ENUMCLAW. Aug. 1S.-Bat-
Ting furiously through six rounds
Ed Hagen of Seattle, and Frank
Farmer of Kapowsin, finished
their contest Saturday night in a
thrilling mix-up at the end of
which "Biddy" Bishop, the ref
cree. called the contest a draw,
the decision bringing forth cheers
from the big crowd. 1t was as
exciting a contest as followers Of
the sport have ever witnessed in
this locality. The contest, while
a gruelling one. was even from
start to finish.
The men mixed it furiously
throughout. and honors were even
at the close. Hagen's most eff
fective punch was right upper
cut, while Farmer did his best
work with straight lefts and right
crosses.
At the finish both were fresh
and strong and going at full
speed.
Joe Hennessy was given the de-
cision over Harry Mussen in four
rounds and Eddie Shepler won
from Young BAKER in four rounds.

TIGERS PLAY IN
LYNCHVILLE

The Tigers will journey to SpO-
kane this week, tackling Mike
Lynch's Indians for the last time
this season. While the Tigers
seem to be the logical choice for
the winner of the series, the In
dams are a bad bunch of stickers
and are likely to break up any old
game at any time.
Vancouver and Seattle have a
split series this week like that
between the Bengals and the
Bees. The first two games will
be played in Seattle, the next
four in Vancouver. and the Sun
day game in Seattle. This series
is an important one, but it is
hard to pick winner, as both
teams are in a slump.
Portland plays a week at Vic
toria, except the Sunday game.
played here. Portland may fatten
her percentage in this bunch of
battles and climb closer to the
top. Then again, the Colts may
get snagged. The Bees are a
mighty dangerous bunch of ball
tossers.

MEN WHOM BASEBALL MADE RICH

Expert definition of the word
"amateur'' can bo had from
Frank Leroy Chance, who is
plotting the New York American
league club over rough trails.
Chance at one time caught for
an "amateur" team in California
at salary of 1925 a month,
which disposes of the amateur
thing.
Chances father was William
Harvey Chance. president Of the
First National bank of Fresno,
CAL, and his ambition was that
his son follow his footsteps, and
IL he had been alive in 1898
when Frank was deciding be-
tween baseball and baking. the
chances are that Frank Farrell
would not now be paying the
Peerless Leader" $25. 200 year
to make a regular team out of
the misfit Highlanders.
Chance was torn Sept ., 1872,
at Fresno. He attended the pub
lie schools and belonged 10 a
"kid" nine, of which he played
any old position and was the star
hitter.
In 1895 he played with a
semf-pro team which did not pay
expenses, and the next year
found him be ok at college. but he
played Saturdays and Sundays
with an amateur" team for sIa5
a month. Chance batted Ia
with this club and was signed Ivy
Jim Hart. owner OF the Chica go
National league club. for $1,000
a year. He Joined the team in
1898 and made good. despite his
greenness. In 1903 Manager Sc
lee transferred Chance to first to
get the benefit Of his hitting. ana
in 1905. when Selee quit, Cham e
was made manager.
Chance found the markings of a
good team. He made it great with
few trades. and the marvellous
Cub machine resulted, winnig
remnants in 1906. 1907, 1908 and
1910 and worlds series in 1907
and 1908.
When C. w. Murphy became
president of the Cubs. Chance Sc
cured tenth interest on the
same terms. In 1906 the club
paid for itself and Chance owned
the stock clear.
As manager of the Cubs.
Chance received $4,000 year.
After his "release" to Cincinnati
he retired to his orange grove,
determined to quit the game. but
$25. 900 a year. plus the hypno-
tism exerted by the American
league heads. caused him to
change his mind.

PURE ENGLISH.
The Tacoma Tigers and the
Victoria Bees played two games
of the national pastime yesterday
1t the local grounds, each win
ming one, and thus dividing the
honOrs.
Joseph McGinnity, manager OF
the local team, endeavored to act
~ the pitcher in the opening
game, but was attended by ill
success. During the first inning
he filed the bases, and was hit
Tor q three-bagger, which allowed
the scorekeeper to mark down
three runs. Another one was also
brought in this inning, which ran
mp the total to four. In the next
round of play a trio more of
scores were made off the curves
of the local leader.
He was then succeeded by
Kaufman, who was in excellent
form, but who was not permitted
to stay long in the game. This
was the result of a rather anus

and Mr.. Crum. centerfielder of the
Bees. The latter had struck out
and the fact aroused his ire until
he made some derogatory remarks
relative to Kaufman's ability and
social position. Extremely war
like and antagonistic demonstra-
tions ensued. which resulted in
the exile of the offending players.
Girot finished the game in clev-
Or fashion.
Kantlehner pitched a nice game
Tor the Bees, although inclined
to be somewhat irrational and
having difficulty throwing the
ball over the plate.
Kaufman was the big attrac-
ton of the second game, allow
ing but one hit and not solitary
score. Fitzgerald also pitched
beautiful exhibition and was not
hated hard. Two base hits by
Neighbors and Holderman were
pesponsible for the winning and

LOTS OF FISHING
AT THE POINT

Amateur fishermen were out in
force yesterday morning and
boats dotted the bay in great pro-
fusion near PIT. Defiance. Salmon
trout was the prey of the anglers,
and the fish were running excep-
tionally good. Nearly every one
who was out reported successfully.
A heavy shower came up late in
the morning and quenched the en-
thusiasm of most of the fisher
men or likely some record catches
would have been made, according
to the wet ones.
