what chase II Is!
Last night Tacoma split a dou-
Bile bill with the Bellingham Chi
hooks at Athletic park, losing the
first, to 8, and coping the Sec
ond. to S.
And while they were splitting
that bill, the Spokane Indians, who
seem to have come to life, were
knocking over the proud We
natchee Chiefs on the Spokane dia-
mond. 4 to ).
1t was the second straight win
for the Indians over the Chiefs
who do not look so formidable off
their tricky, wind-swept field.
Bob Cole opposed Sheehan
of the Chinooks in the first
game, right handler against
southy. And Cole got along
all right until the fourth when
with one out, two successive
hits, an lnfield out, wild pitch
and a throw-in gave the Wis
itors two runs. Reese and
Mandish were the successful
hitters.
Liking the taste of things, the
Chinooks came right back in the
fifth to add three more to their
totals on five hits and an outfield
fly.
They took their final score in
the ninth when Harris doubled off
the left wall and Lightner hit to
center.
The Tigers made game of it in
the seventh and eighth, scoring
two in the seventh on Mountains
walk, Colbern's single to center,
fields choice and an error COM
bined and another hit to center by
Hartman.
GARRETSON SCORES
The eighth saw Garretson start
with a life through an error at
short, a wild heave placing The
Tiger on second. Reichs hit and
a fielder's choice sent Garretson
over.
But in the ninth frame, when
the Tigers had a chance to tie, the
Chinooks used 10 men. The 10th
man was Umpire Josh Clarke,
working the bases.
Clifford started with a walk.
Rhyme, batting for Cole, hit
into a double play. And things
looked dark, OF course. But
Hartman and Mattos singled
In succession, and Garretson
drove a hard one to short,
where Stockman failed to ham
die 1t Clearly, the ball rolling
in back of him. Mattos came
tearing into the bag as Stock
man recovered the ball and
heaved it TO second.
Mattos beat the throw Clearly,
but old Josh jerked the thumb up
and out, ending the game. There
was terrific Tiger beef, but of no
avail, of course. However, the sad
part of 1t all was Morry AM
bolt, the 30-home-run hitter, was
next at bat, with the tying run in
his bat. But that's baseball
and umpires.
HIT SOINLA HARD
The Tigers hit for 13 times
against Soinila, right handler, in
the second game, seven-inning
affair. He was opposed by Carl
Brady. Included in the blows was
Abbott's 30th four-base smash, a
screamer over the left wall. II
went on a line and probably is on
the move still. II came in the
third with Brady, who singled,
and Garretson, who doubled, on
the bags.
The first inning also pro-
vided the Tigers with two runs
on Harriman's single. Mattos'
beating of hunt and Garrett
sons rousing double TO left.
which hit the fence and
bounced into the bleachers,
holding him to two bags.
Hits by Colbern. Clifford and
Brady an infield out and error by
Bliss at second gave the Bensals
two more in the fourth. They coll
lected another in the fifth on
Garretsons third double this time
to right and Abbott's hard single
to center.
The fifth and sixth saw the
Chinooks make a bid. but that
was all. Lightner's hard hit ball
cleared the left field wall in the
fifth. In the sixth after two men
had died on sweet double play
the Chinooks got break as Brady
weakened. Hal Stockman doubled
10 center. Bliss beat out a bunt
down third line. T. Stockman.
who replaced Farquhsrson behind
the plate, singled, scoring Stock
man. Soinila walked and Stewart
tripled TO center when Reich mis-
judged the ball and il rolled to
center fence. Three runs more
came across And that was all for
the visitors.
