1T WAS A pretty game.


1T WAS A pretty game.
The Tigers played major
league baseball. They played
rings around Tealey Raymond's
players, using several trick plays
that utterly confused the Seattle
ties.
The game became so complex
that Barker" Cadman, premier
catcher OF the Seattle nine, even
refused on one or two occasions
to try to peg base-stealer at sec
ond.
And when Cadman passes up
that chance, you may know that
he holds the opposing team in
high esteem.
TACOMA DID NOT make an
error through the game. Five
stolen bases were made by the
home lads, including two by
Truckhorse Carman. Charlie
Schmutz, recently of the Brooklyn
Nationals, was pounded out of
the box in the fourth, when three
hits and two walks netted four
runs for the Tigers. Wolfram,
newly acquired pitching star Of
the Giants, took up the battle in
the fifth, but Tacoma pounded
him just as freely as Schmutz,
and made five more runs off mis-
delivery.
UMPIRE BUSH, the same jumps
who had run-in with Joe Me-
Ginnity last week, handled the
game in big league style. Taco
ma fans have no criticism of the
former Coast league indicator
man.
His only faulty decision was
In the ninth inning. Bonne made
a low throw to first on Ciddings
grounder. Thompson dropped
the ball, recovered It, and drop
ped 1t again. Giddings made the
bag safely, but Bush mad already

The umpire refused 10 change
his decision, although it was pa

ure, however, for the next batter

RIVER Fishermen HOPE
FOR SHAD hatchery

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DELAWARE CITY. Del, Oct. 25.-
The shad fishermen OF this section are
pessimistic about the next fishing
season. There are many reasons for
the announcement of the fishermen.
In past years this place has been one
of the best-known centers Of shad fish
ing in this part of the country, but the
catch had fallen steadily until the
last fishing season. when more fish
were caught than in some years.
The continued falling off in the
catch is ascribed TO several reasons.
Among these are the pollution OF the
river. the dredging OF the river, the
large nets used by the fishermen, as
well as a marked falling off in the
number OF the fish themselves for
some unknown reason.
Local fishermen are still hoping that
tho coming session OF Congress will
make some provision for the establish
ment Of a fish hatchery on this river,
for thew claim that this offers the
only solution OF the problem on the
delaware. and is the only means OF
saving the industry. which from pres
emf indications is doomed.
