BEAVERS DONATE
another Battle

VANCOUVER, b. c., Aug. A.
Bob Browns Beavers gave the
Tigers another game yesterday,
elevating the Tacoma team with
in one game of Butte, who now
occupies second place on the
league ladder.
1t was purely a donated game.
Tacoma did not get a run until
the eighth, but when she did be-
gin to score, through Lefty
Russell's weakness, the inning
ended with five runs for the yisi-
tors and a five-all tie.
. . . .
None of the five runs were
earned. Neither were the otner
five that won the game In the
18th. The game dragged along
through extra innings until the
first of the 18th, when Wuffli
opened the fun by getting on iirst
when Acosta, who had replaced
Russell, slipped and did tumb-
ling act on the turf.
. . o .
Leard sacrificed and Bighee
singled. Then the Beaver defense
crumpled and four errors came
in quick succession, with the re-
suit that five Tigers scored.
. . = .
The victory gives Sutherland
Is straight wins. Studs had no
hope of winning, up to the eighth,
however. He was ready at any
time to say his prayers and hike.
But after the rally that tied the
score, he frightened up and pitch
ed a first class game until the
finish.
Q
1t is reported here that Russ
Hall of the Tigers has signed
Bankhead, former Butte outfield-
err, to fill the gap in the Tacoma
outfield.

After playing in Vancouver to-
day and Saturday, the teams will
journey to Tacoma, where a dou-
ble-header will be played Sunday.

After lunch and the long rest we still
had ten miles to go to cross and It
didn't help things to know that once
over we had to come straight back
on the other side. During the first
hours march in the afternoon we
heard the strangest sound that ever

hammering on steel but we refused to
believe our ears until a sudden curve
brought us bang up against the indis-
