With more interest In baseball
today than there has been evincel
during any time of the last half
of the season, Tacoma's Tigers
return home tomorrow to finish
the 1915 year.
There will be a four-game Sc
ries with Vancouver at Athletic
park, and the season will Off
cially close Sunday afternoon.
Not in many years has the
Northwestern league race been so
exciting at its finish. Spokane,
apparently an easy victor # the
pennant, took Tacoma over to the
Inland Empire city for a IL game
series, thinking that by doing so,
1t would further insure the pen
nant.
The Tigers have wiped up the
earth with Spokane, whipping
Wicker's team so badly that the
Spokane fans see red every time
they think of Tacoma. The TIg-
ers are only two games behind
Spokane, today, and Spokane is
three games behind Seattle.

Tacoma Is another of the gram
mar schools that got off with a
flying start this semester.
The building was newly var
nished and sidewalked for the

joys.
But even Principal William G.
McGovern was surprised this
year.
The first day saw an enroll
ment of 73S. Today 1t is ISL,
and many of the children are still
in the berry and hop fields. 1t Is
expected the total will exceed
500 by Oct. 1.
The same teaching staff APP
peared again this year, with the
exception of Miss Freeden New
man and Miss Anna Fargeman,
who were transferred from other
city schools to the Edison.
The upper classes are enthusi-
astic over the formation of a
chorus under the direction of
Supervisor Ball.
1t is planned to make this
orchestra one of the best In the
city. Many of the other gram
mar schools will have choruses,
and when they have been thor
oughly drilled they will be join
ed and a great spring festival
will be given In the Stadium.
Edison has two soccer foot
ball teams practicing every night.

SPOKANE, Sept. 15-Although
yesterdays game between the
Tacoma Tigers and Spokane In
dams at the Interstate Fair
grounds was a brilliant and err
rorless exhibition of the great
American game, II was somewhat
marred by another rowdy exhibit
ton on the part of the local
team. Before che game was over
Brennegan had been fined and
sent off the field, and Manager
Wicker had been ordered to stay
on his bench. 1t was all that
Umpire Frary could do to restrain
the emotions of the Spokane play
ers and fans.
Tacoma won again through, the
star work of Hendrix. The, big
twirler was in rare form, and had
the Indians on his hip through
out the game. He weakened
slightly in the ninth, and Spo-
kane got one run across, but
could not tie the score. 7a
Tacoma's first run was pro-
tested by the Spokane players.
Hillyard flew to Kaylor 4 in Athe
fourth, with Sells on third, kip
pert on second and one out. Col
trim cut off Kaylor's throw and
pegged it to third, where Murphy
tagged Xippert. The Spokane
players claimed that Kippert's out
came before Sells crossed the
plate. Frary ruled thata Sells
run counted, and great comino-
ton resulted. The score:

Tacoma ...000100010--2 8, 0
Spokane ..000000001-1 g. 0

ems; Ables, Moves and Altman.

FOOTBALL
PRACTICE
GOES FINE

Football turnouts at both Lin
coin Park and Stadium High
schools were in full swing last
evening.
Lincoln had the largest turn
out of the two schools, nearly co
men appearing OH the Whitman
grounds. Jersies and suits were
issued to practically every can
didate, while the first team will
get shoes. The rest will have to
get along the best they can with
ordinary shoes.
Coach Colbert is busy instruct
ing his men in passing and punt
ing the ball.
Scrimmage will be started FRI
day.
Webb, a member of last years
team, may be declared ineligible
for the first team by the reguIa-
tions of the Pacific Northwest
High School association. He is
taking a postgraduate course.
The same regulation may keep
Val Comstock and Odley Brennan
from playing.
Coach e. E. Perkins has the
Stadium turnouts divided into
squads and working on inter-class
play. Scrimmage will not be
started in the north end school
until the latter part of the week.
Six of last years team are out

to keep some of the younger play
ers away from their positions.

The boys are forced to play on
the school grounds, which are
surrounded by grass terraces.
IL the ball goes on these ter
races or into the streets, the
youngsters are forced to stick re-

slows up the game materially.
