j. II. Radke's baseball team,
known as the Yeomen, defeat
ed the Washington Parlor Fur
niture Co.'S band of knights of
the diamond on the Logan
school grounds yesterday after
noon by a score of II to /.
The game was bitterly con-
tested at the beginning, but
before the third inning it could
plainly be seen that the insur-
ance men had the furniture
men bested. The only score
for the furniture manufacture
ers came in the seventh inning,
while the lodge men added to
their score almost at their will,
gathering runs almost every
inning.
The batteries for the Yeo-
men: Brown and Shager, for
the Washington Parlor Furni-
ture Co.; Gear, Hayhland and
OIIiser. Umpire, Jack Waller.
The Times sport department is not
connected with any baseball
league and is therefore devot-
ing most of its space to indie
pendent teafs. Send the box
scores and outcome of your
games to this department and
we will be glad to print them.
Teams outside the city can save
the annoyance of writing to all
the city managers by writing to
The Times sport department.
We can schedule games and are
glad to do it free. When you
want a game leave it to us and
we will not dissappoint you.
When out OF town team man.
ayers want Sunday and holiday
games they are requested to
write at least three days before
the game is to be played-then
leave the worry to us.
AL Iibke, giant backstOp on
Hong" Armstrong; w. o. w.
ball team, hurt his arm Satur-
day at the West Coast Wagon
Co., where he works as black
smith. He says it bothers him
in his peg to second base. He
is hoping that he will be able
to work without difficulty by
next Sunday. At that, he caught
two games Sunday and got three
hits out of as many visits to the
pan, and in the last game he got
two hits out of three times up,
one of them being O. three
Dagger. Not so bad for a Grip
pie.
Newt "Hula" Mills, the affable
duck hunter, will weed the gar
dens for the Royals this year.
Mills says that If he doesn't
step in a gopher hole and break
his leg while on duty there
won't be any home runs scored
against his team. Some fast,
that boy! Creek" Koessler
and "China Boy" Brouse are
two other good players who
have landed with the Royals.
Manager Soup" Bone wishes a
practice game for next Sunday.
Write Bill Bone, 1910 South
Sheridan avenue.
Earl Brown, recently Of Centralia,
who will play with the McCor-
mack ball club this season. was
in the Stadium Sunday. He
looks like real baseball play
err. He made quite rep for
himself at the Hub City, where
he was regarded as one of the
best infielders and hitters in
the southwest part of the state.
Manager Shea thinks he has
signed a wonder in the new
man. He will work the initial
sack for the department store
team, 1t is thought.
The Arcades defeated the Emer-
aids, IA to 8, in practice game
on the old Central grounds yes
terday. The Emeralds are the
former Shamrocks. Peterson,
Marker and Ella formed the
Arcade battery, while Prender-
CAST, Hall and Lacey did the
heavy work for the Emeralds.
Three Tacoma baseball teams
which were we'll represented in
the Stadium Sunday we're the
Elks, Majestics and the w. o.
w, From these lineups two
teams were chosen and few
innings was played. DeMaris
worked behind the bat for the
Elks and Libke for the Males
tics. The game was called on
account of rain. All three
teams look good.
