Cole Pitches
Winning Tilt

Tacoma's fast stepping Tigers
took two out Of the three-gsme
series with the league leading We
natehee Chiefs and now are but
one and a half games out Of first
place.
Bob Coles pitching last night,
combined with timely hitting,
brought a TO l victory.
Tacoma won the first battle
Tuesday. = to 0. behind the re-
markable no-hit, no-run hurting OF
big Lefty Isekite. On the follow
ing night the Chiefs won by the
same score. leaving the series eyen-
Steven until last night.
The clubs now move to We
natchee, where a four-game series
will be played beginning tonight,
with a double bill Sunday.
The big inning in last
nights game was In the third.
Hal Rhymes club was trailing
one to nothing, the Chiefs
having put over what proved
TO be their lone counter In
the second on an error by
Hartman, a fielder's choice
and a single by O'Banion.
Abbott started things in the
third with a hard double to left,
which was followed by singles by
Mountain and Colbern, an outfield
fly by Clifford and an error at first
by Milani. All of that accounted
for three runs.
Once again in the sixth Abbott
started the fireworks with single
to left and then went into second
when Christopher, left fielder,
booted the ball. Reich drove him
home with a safe one to center
and scored a moment later on
Clifford's double to left.
The last Tiger run came In
the eighth on Mountains
second hit of the night, an In
field out and Coles safe blow
to center. When Cole hit the
ball Shelly at short and de-
yiyeiros at second started for
the ball. Then each thought
he'd give way to the other and
each stopped, pulling back.
The ball went right through
them.
Cole kept his hits scattered and
was master throughout.

Chan(eSIim For White
 Christmas
Juneau Has Had Snow on Ground All But Two
 December 25ths

If snow fails to fall here by Monday-and the U. S. Weather Bureau says none in sight'-Ju- neau will be without white Christmas for only the third time in 23 years.
 Other years since 1917 on which there was neither snow on the ground Christmas morning nor snow from the sky during the day were 1925 and 1887.
 Deepest snow on the ground Christmas day was 16.8 inches in 1917. Heaviest December 25 snow fall honors are shared by 1926 and 1927. Christmas in each year brought 3.5 inches of snow.
 For the past two years Christ mas day has been bright and clear here, rare thing for this time of year.
 The Christmas record, showing snowfall from midnight to mid- night and depth of snow at the afternoon observation is as fol-
