Mayor Kaufman Night Set
For June 9Th at Ball Park

serve the citys birthday and we
figured that sponsoring a baseball
game would be the best way.
Everybody likes a baseball game.
The Tacoma Tigers deserve the
support of the citizens of Tacoma.
They are playing good ball, this is
the Tooth anniversary of baseball,
the Golden Jubilee of Washington
and the 65th of Tacoma" said De-
tective Farrar.
This is strictly civic
proposition with the municipal
civil service league not seek
ing to make rs much as one
cent in profit. II is cur desire
TO be of public service in more
ways than working for the
taxpayers of Tacoma.
City employees are looking for
ward to this game with enthu-
siasm. We honestly believe we will
turn out the biggest crowd in Ia
coma's baseball history. City en-
ployes will be out 100 percent. not
counting those whose duties keep
them away. We will conduct a
ticket selling campaign, but hope
to sell them only to people who
can attend the game"
The regular night game prices
will be in effect for the games.
City employees have tickets for
sale.

western American league clubs
will be playing in the east and
the eastern National league clubs
will be campaigning in the west.
II the Yanks can win eight
out Of 10 In the VESTS own

likely to do as good or better
In their own bailiwick. I'm
less the Boston Red Sox keep
up their stiff pace. II appears
that the American league race
isn't even going TO be a con-
test after Inid-season.
The Yanks plastered two
straight shutouts on the Athletics
in Philadelphia before settling
down at Yankee stadium for a
fortnight's stand. Red Ruffing
stopped the AS with four hits
Sunday. and Yves Terrell and John
ny Murphy combined to let them
down with five safeties yesterday.
After going seven frames, Terrell
complained of a pain in his arm.
He went out with 20 lead. Muir
ply held the AS hitless the last
two frames.

the Pirates into tie for the cellar

tory. but the Tigers won out. four
matches to three. The meet was
staged on the Lynx courts. and

battle against Richard (Red)

He scored a minor surprise by

Even more surprising however
was the fact that Lincoln won all
the other singles matches except
that between Erwin of Stadium

virtually all of them. All singles
matches went to three sets.
