What's the trouble with Walter

What's the trouble with Walter
Johnson?
Has the great speed merchant
gone back, is the great right arm
losing its strength and cunning?
These questions naturally sug-
gest themselves when it is con-
sidered that Johnson has been
able to win only two games out Of
six starts this year, perhaps the
poorest early season record John
son has ever had.
But a casual glance through
the box scores of the games John
son has lost does not indicate that
the peerless Walter has gone back

ANOTHER glOriOus

AFTER ANOTHER glorious
week of victories, our Tigers hop
ned aboard an eastbound train
Sunday evening, and are in Spo-
kane today ready for another
slaughter-house revel.
A 6 to victory over Great
Falls Sunday was the end of a per-
feet week. The only blot on the
series was Fridays game, when
the Tigers showed that they were
not ducks and refused to play
good ball ON rainy, water-soaked
field.
WHEN GREAT FALLS came to
Tacoma, every critic OF baseball
who had watched the dope care
fully predicted that we were TAX
ing up arms against the strongest
team in the league. Well, IL the
Hesterics have the strongest team
IN the N. w. loop, we might as
we'll put In a demand right now
for the silk pennant. In seven
games Tacoma got 23 runs and 40
hits off the best pitchers in the
visitors camp, while they only
annexed 10 runs and 81 hits from
us. We outplayed them in every
department, and sent them scoot-
ing from second place down to
fourth.
HERMAN PILLETT, the
youthful "find" in Russ Halls
pitching staff, did the twirling
Again yesterday and held the
heavy hitting Electrics down to
elk scattered blows. Pillett looks
better every time he goes in the
box. Carl Stevens finally got his
batting eye yesterday, and proved
It by hitting homer over the
right rear fence and two doubles
to center. His hitting brought IN
four runs.
ALTHOUGH THE weather was
disagreeable, an immense crowd
turned out. If the fans continue
patronizing baseball as they have
started, Russ Hall won't have to
worry much over finances this
season.

Ted Collins, who Joins the Tigers
this week, pitched for Olympia
Sunday and defeated the Ma
jestics of the Valley league 6 to
2. Many errors for the Taco
mans contributed to the defeat.
Martin Messner, mascot for the
Wilkeson ball club, is very
popular 'youngster in the mining
town. He is cousin to the
fan playing third base by the
same name.
Although the Yeomen's team
badly patched together, 'Hootch'

yesterday, and they went from
the Bismarck club, 8 to g..
Radke famed 20 batters.

leaguers, allowed the Knights
of Columbus of Tacoma only
three hits yesterday at Roy, and

As an umpire, Jack Abraham, who
umpired the Wilkeson-W. o. w.
game Sunday, is a good black
smith. At least that's what all
who witnessed to game say.
The w. o. w. Juniors want a
game with some good out-of-
