Tacoma BOYS
Win Seattle
Came Easily

The c. & B. Ideals of Tacoma
invaded Seattle Sunday, playing a
game on one Of Seattle's busiest
ball parks, and not only won their
game but received high praise
from the Seattle fans.
The game was played against a
team known as the 81. w. WIS"
and was staged on the Lincoln
Park grounds Immediately after
another game had been played.
The entire crowd remained for
the second game, anxious to see
what a Tacoma team could do. The
Ideals simply mopped up the
grounds with their l. w, w.
friends, the final score being 13
to 8. The Seattle team made all
of its runs in the ninth, when
Dickerson weakened for a moment.
Kessler did good work at second,
and Dickerson pitched classy ball.
Jacobs, in left field, got three hits
out of four; Severance hit a
homer and a single, and Ed Ben
nett and Ed Kessler both hit hard.
The score: Ideals, 13-14-2; I. w.
W., 3-4-4; Dickerson and Sever
ance; Johnson and O'Brien.

Much Humor On
Pantages Bill

Good comedy predominates on
the new Pantages bill, which
opened Monday.
Wanted, Wife," is one of the
brightest skits ever put on in Ia
coma, and 1t scored a big hit with
the first nighters. The funny
story of man who must be mar
ried by midnight in order to in
herit a million dollars is height
ened by the presence of a large
group of unusually pretty girls, in
really stunning costumes.
Women" is tabloid play which
attempts to show women in their
proper character, but which ends
in riot of fun and grand blow
up" of its real intentions. The
actors, Betty Keith, Cecil Kohl
haas and Pauline Eckhart, are
clever.
The Royal Gascoignes are bril-
liant jugglers. Two men and a
woman form the Lucy Lucier trio,
and present repertoire of new
songs. Rozika Rheingold and Mas
ter Kaufman are clever child per-
formers. Julian Halls imperson-
alton of Charlie Chaplin is good.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 81
Jack Doyle; one of the wealthiest
cafe men in California, today paid
his debt of gratitude to the man
who started him ON the road to
fortune.
The genial sportsman of Vernon
turned over a mortgage valued at
$500 to Mrs. AID Wolgast, wife
of the former worlds lightweight
champion, and he laughed to scorn
the proposal of Mrs. Wolgast's
business agents that he accept
$500 which he paid AID for the
deed.
Doyle bought the mortgage
from Wolgast several months ago,
when the ex-champion paid a fly
ing visit to this city. Since that
time, plucky little Ad was ad-
judged insane by a lunacy conf
mission in Wisconsin and is now
confined in an asylum in that
state.
When AID arrived in this city,
his first visit was paid to Jack
Doyle. The men had been firm
friends for ten years.
Jack was quick to perceive
that Ads mind had weakened,
but he did not realize that his
friend was SO far gone.
A story that AID was selling
his property here for ridiculous
ly low prices sent Jack scurrying
In search of his friend.
Just the fellow | want to see,
jack exclaimed AID. I've got
a bargain for you. I'll sell you

Doyle's eyes bulged out when
he saw that 1t was a gilt-edge Sc
curity, bearing big interest. and
as good as a note in the bank.
Then he realized that his friend
was giving way his property,
