GIVEN BERTH
WITH TICER RS

Clyde Lefty SHREDDER, the
young southpaw twirler who
signed with Russ Halls Tigers
last season, was yesterday placed
on a contract by the Boss of Tig-
erotwn. He is one of the large
number of clever ball players
who will start training early
next month at Athletic park.
SHREDDER is Portland boy.
After his try-out with the Tigers
last season, Russ Hall decided
that, although he was fast and
clever, he needed more expert
ence before playing in this class
league. SHREDDER was won to be-
come excitable and lose control.
So he was found berth with
the Hamilton, Ontario, cluo,
where he pitched successfully I'M

next MONTH

Another bait and fly casting
tournament will be held in the
lake at Point Defianse park this
year.
At a meeting of the Tacoma
Bait and Fly Casting club last
night it was decided to hold open
contests, beginning April 80. Ia
comans who are interested in the
scientific side Of angling will be
invited, and a special invitation
will. be setn to members of the
Seattle club.
1t was reported last night that
several sites for a private fishing
ground had been offered the club
but that none of them had come
up to the requirements of the
anglers. A private lake or stream,
stocked with game fish, is de-
sired.

M ystic Thrill
In Big PLAY

Something of the mystic spirit
that attaches to papal Rome ia
carried to the audiences that see
THE Eternal City," which is
proving one of the biggest attrac-
tions the Apollo has had in q
long time. One feels the "etern.
alness,' so to speak, of the great
religious power conferred in the
Holy Father. The reverence he
commands and the very spirit that
lives in his as it shines forth in
the impersonation by Fuller Nell
ish have much to do in building
up the climax of the play.

According to President Corcor-
an, the Bates club has withdrawn
because several of the players
were unwilling to play through
out the season. Reasons for the
withdrawal of the w. o. w. team
are rather vague. Efforts to To-
cate Manager earns today were
unavailing.
A meeting of the league was to
have been held last night, but
was called off suddenly. A we'll
defined spirit of dissatisfaction
among some of the players over
one of the officers Of the league
is said to be responsible for part
of the trouble.

a mighty good pitcher" IA
Although the sale of ticket
books by Commercial club COM
mittees has been good. Chairman
Louis Bean has discovered that
some of the members have shown
extreme apathy regarding their
work. Bean is going after the
members hot and heavy.
This is the first work under
taken by the newly recognized
Commercial club, and II the club
members cannot show enough en-
thusiasm to even try to hold
league baseball here, especially
when they are not called upon
for one cent of charity, the pub
lie is liable to get very unce.-
tain opinion of the club.
Russ Hall has eight players al
ready signed up, 1t is reported on
good authority. He Is making
no announcements, however, be-
cause there is still a possibility
of Tacoma not having lea que
baseball, unless the uninterested
Commercial club members get
busy and hustle.

With the withdrawal yesterday
afternoon from the City league
of the Bates Clothes team and
the w. o. w. No. 79S club, only
six teams are left in the City
league, semi-pro.
Considerable speculation has
been aroused over the split in the
league. +. T. Bates, who enter
ed the Bates Clothes team in the
circuit, is one of the fathers of
the league and, until recently,
has been more than enthusiastic
over the organization. The w.
o. w. action is equally sudden
and surprising, because w. L..

his players together for their
first practice work of the season
