TIGERS LOSE FIFTH
GAME IN FOUR WEEKS

SPOKANE, May 1S.--Nick Will
Jams Indians tied up the series
yesterday afternoon by knocking
Hank Peterson out of the box in
the third inning, and punching
hits effectively off AL Bonner.
1t was only the fifth defeat of
the season for the Tigers, how
ever, and the fourth week is near
ing an end. The final score: 8
to 3.
The Tigers took running jump
into the lead in the first two in
nings by hitting Sohorr to all corn
ers OF the lot. In the third, Pet
erson weakened, and single, a
walk and a double, FOR a net re-
suit of two scores, proved his
downfall.
AL Bonner pitched perfect ball
up to the seventh. Then he
Spilled the beans. The Redskins
under Blonde Nick's command
hoped on him with all their
spikes, and when the dust cleared
away three runs come in. Schorr
held the coast boys helpless until
the finish.
Every Tiger on the team, except
Pillett, who pitched the previous
day, was in the game, Flagstead
and Sutherland being used as
pinchers in the ninth.
Sutherland is due to pitch for
Tacoma today.

TOM SEATON
Is DOING A
COM E-BACK

NEW YORK, May IS. - Tom
Seaton, one time famous star OF
the Phillies. is one of the main
reasons why the Cubs today have
record Of ten straight victories.
He is doing with success what
many baseball players have tried
and failed. He is coming back.
Seaton spent last year with the
Indianapolis American association
team after he had striven valiantly
to win for Joe Tinker and the
Cubs. He had been saved to the
National league out Of the Federal
wreck only when his contract call
ed for such a figure that no minor
league club could carry the bur-
den. He went to Indianapolis un-
der a stipulation that Chicago
should pay part of his salary; he
needed the work.
Seaton since his return to the
National league has won three
games. His record SO far does
not contain a defeat. He began
against Pittsburg on May and
held the Pirates to three hits,
winning, to /. On May 70, he
started against the heavy hitting
Dodgers and won by 1 to 0, al
lowing the champions only four
hits. Yesterday he flashed against
Boston, held the Braves to three
hits, and won his game.
