Tacoma IL. Yakima s.
Vancouver 10. Spokane T.
TINE Yakima Pippins were like
L March last night at Athletic
park.
They started out like lions and
wound up like lambs; the final
score. Tacoma II, Yakima s.
Why, before you could crack a
peanut between thumb and fore
finger, Penso had singled, Stamp
er had doubled. Spiker had singled
and Spadafore had tripled sue
cessively.
Add an error by Hartman,
passed ball and wild pitch and
you have four runs. They looked
as big as a cops star when you've
violated a law and he has you
by the arm.
The assault. which saw these
four blows fall off Marion
Oppelt's delivery, removed the
handsome music teacher from
the hill. Bob Cole took over
the job and did all right, in
GLIDING a home run blast later
in the fight.
incidentally, Herb Kittle, ace
chucker of the league, was the
fall guy of the Tigers comeback.
The Cats whacked him all over
the lot. Marshall, who relieved
him, did a much better job. But
he and his mates couldn't over
come the Tigers, who swept the
three-game series.
The Tigers knocked off one run
of that four-counter lead in their
half of the first. thanks to walks
to Hartman and Garretson and
Abbott's blow to center.
Having tasted the pleasure Of
plate-kicking they went to work
in the third to take the lead. 6
to 4, scoring five runs and send
ing Kittle to the showers. Reich
walked and Garretson forced him
at second. Abbott struck out.
The explosion wasn't expected, to
tell you the truth. But Mountain
slammed the ball right over the
heart of that deep centerfield
fence, a long, long sockerino that
made the big ladies' night gasp
and cheer in ultra joy.
COLES HOMER THRILLS
Garretson kicked the platter
ahead of Mountain and two runs
were in. Then Colbern singled and
stole second. Clifford was safe
on Fernandez error. And here,
was the big thrill of the night.
Cole provided it. He belted the
agate clear over left field barrier
and that was the end of Kittle.
That was five runs.
The fourth was the finish of
the Yak hopes. Reich hit a
grass cutter to short, which
was knocked down but went
as a single. Garretson and
Abbott walked. filling the
bags. Mountain was there
like a grease SPOT on the vest.
He lined a triple to left Gen.
ter, cleaning the bags. He
scored a moment later on
Clifford's infield hit into
double play.
The last Tiger run came in the
fifth. Hartman, Mattos and
Reich filled the bags and Noun
tain walked, forcing in Hartman.
BY the way. Marshall whitfield
Garretson, Abbott and Colbern in
that heat, but he walked Noun
tain in between the Garretson and
Abbott whiffters.
1t was the sixth that saw the
visitors add two more runs to
their total. Spadafore. the Ia
coma kid who got two for three.

Mcdonald singled. Lorenz was

Mr.. Smith said every effort will
be made to speed up the commit

NIT frankly in private conversa-
tions that tremendous pressure will
be brought to bear to put repeal
across in the Senate. This pres
sure already is being exerted, they
say, both from administration
sources and from interests in this
country which desire to increase
their business now that war is un-
derway. The principal pressure,
however, is likely to come from the
great mass of Americans who be-
lieve this country should be in
position to supply the British and
the French with all needed ma
terials to prosecute the war.
Despite this sympathy for the
allies, there is a determination on
the part of these same Americans,
for the most part, to keep this
county out of the European war If
it is possible to do so. 1t is this
anti-war sentiment which still has
the administration worried when
it seeks to estimate the probable
effect of the Senate debate on the
American people.
The administration leaders are
seeking to obtain agreements from
all parties and leaders in Congress
not to permit consideration of other
legislation than neutrality at the
special session. One aim is to pre-
vent a recurrence of the bitter feel
ing which developed between Con-
gress and the President before ad-
journment in August.

statement to the House Committee

testimony concerning the activities
of Russia S secret police, Ogpu, which
he said spread throughout the

Now that Russia and Germany
are working together, they will stop
at nothing" Mr.. Gitlow said. That's
why I want to see the Communist
party stamped out in this country.
Mr. Gitlow. who said he was ex-
PEELED from the Communist groups
in 1929 after a dispute with Joseph
Stain, testified the Ogpu operated
