Weird Ball
Juggling Is
Fatal Blow
Locals Seemed 10
Be Safe When Blow.
UP Ruins Things

The usual lucky seventh for
the home club turned out to be one
OF brutality bad fortune last night
for Pitcher Lefty Isekite and the
Tacoma Tigers at Athletic Park.
The Bengals were enjoying 4
to ! lead going into that frame.
The game seemed in the bag until
some weird ball juggling gave VAN
couver's Capilanos two runs and
set them in spot where the fol-
lowing frame wrote a to 4 fin
ish for the Tigers.
Two hands were down In the
seventh when the runs came
over. although Orteig. who
singled after Samhammer had
whitfield, WAS on first. Orteig's
blow was n liner against CEN
ter fence. Rickert playing the
rebound perfectly and holding
Orteig TO first. Stewart flied
out to center.
The picture was bright for the
Tigers. Two hands We're in the
Morgue. But trouble was ahead.
Quinn took four wide ones and
roasted on first, Orteig moving
ahead. Cailteaux hit a grounder
to short. which Shirley took and
slowly heaved to second. Too late.
orteig was on third and Quinn
was at second.
JUGGLE JUGGLE
White heaved to third in an ef-
fort to catch Orteig off the bag.
Quinn started for third. leaving
second short distance. Farrell
heaved To second and Quinn was
caught between the bases. He re-
gained second when the ball WAS
juggled, Orteig scoring when
White threw wide to the plate.
And before the ball could be re-
covered back of the platter toward
the Vancouver dugout, Quinn was
In. Edy flied out to end things,
but the damage WAS done.
That made II and 8 with
the Tigers still out In front.
But still the damage had been
done rs the eighth so graph
ically told. Lloyd walked 10
start things. Holmes whitfield.
Samhammer doubled Ia CEN
ter, scoring Lloyd. Orteig hit
In right, scoring Samhammer.
That made IT 5 and 4 with the
Capilanos in the lead. where they
remained.
The visitors counted their first
run in the second inning on hits
by Edy. Lloyd and Sinner. You
already know about the other four.
The Tigers counted in the first
on Garretson's walk and stolen
base, and Whites high bounder
over third for single.
THREE IN SIXTH
They went into the lead with
fat three runs in the sixth. Abbott
singled and oppelt ran for him.
Farrell laid one down and the play
for oppelt at second fizzled. Rick
ert laid one down and Holmes
threw wide 10 first, oppelt and
Farrell scoring, Rickert advanc-
ing. o'Brien singled to center,
scoring Rickert.
That lead looked big until
the seventh when the Juggling
act took place and then faded
when solid hits and walk
gave the Caps the needed edge.
The Tigers threatened in the
ninth, Shirley getting as far as
second, where he died.
Stubby Hartman was out of
the lineup. Reported as sick.

year and that was more than a CO.
incidence. The morale of the vic
Tins had been shattered by the de-
feat and the criticism and abuse
that followed it.
McKechnie himself was o victim
OF one of those debacles, losing his
JOB when the Cardinals cracked In
1929 after the Yankees had fiattened
them in the fall of '28. But this
time he had a stronger fibered bunch
and they hammered back from the
ragged edges of ruin.
The Big Three
Barring that one slump early in
August, when lombard and Gene
Thompson were out with injuries
and the whole team rocked under
the tragic fate of Hershberger, the
Reds have given such a smooth
performance that it is difficult to
pick out this man or that and say
that if it hadn't been for him, they
wouldn't have rushed to another
flag.
But I'll cite three men without
whom the Reds would have had
much harder going: lombard, Joe
Beggs and Bill Werber.
Beggs' case illustrates once more
that capable relief pitcher Is in
dispensable in modern baseball.
Those Eighteen Games
McKechnie credits Beggs with
saving at least eight. games that do
not appear in his record. Since his
record was 10 victories and only two
defeats, you can chalk up 10 games
the Reds would not have won with
out him. Take those 10 games out
of the victory column and put them
on the other side of the ledger and
the Reds would have been whistling
for a pennant, much less a World
series
"Beggs has the two qualities that
are most essential to a relief pitch
err" Bill said. Control and faith
in himself. A fellow moving In to
check an enemy assault must be
able to get the ball around the plate
and must take no account Of the
odds against him. Beggs has won
derful control and I never saw a
pitcher who, without being In the
least cOnceited, never has the slight
est doubt about himself"
Series Power House
Werber, this year as last, was the
key man in the infeld which, by the
way, made fewer errors than any in
the league. Challengers In 1888, the
Reds cracked in the inheld and fad
ed as the Cubs went on to win. Last
year Werber, at third base, worked

This year he not only kept a tight

tack he slammed the ball In the

him In an institution would break
his heart, and also mine. I couldn't

Of way out?"
Get Rid of Him.
The answer is that the only way
out is hard one. But have known
many cases in which it has worked,
and 1t will work for you. Immedi-
ately, without any argument, put
this worthless annoying old man into
an institution. Borrow on his insur-
ance, If need be, to pay the charges
at some partly endowed home, or
put him straight into the poor-house.
That will bring him to his senses
for the first time in his life.

man-of-the-sea got a job at the coun-
ty farm, found that he was a natural
vegetable gardener, was permitted
to sell surplus produce for is own
profit, and eventually turned into

other case an old woman made her
self so helpful that the good nuns
