■?'■■. .....:--. -. -. .:,i-. ..i. _ ..v. HjßK.fi ■■: BASEBALL BASKETBALL BOWLING WHAT ABOUT THESE NORTHWEST UMPS That old umpire bugaboo 1b again receiving a good deal of at tention. Over in Seattle Steve Kane inarched both. Manager Tighe and Manager Brashear out of the park Friday and aaked Catchpr ■ Splesman to accompany them for good measure. The Seattle papers Insist that neither of tho managers had done anything out of the way—that they were simply Jollying their men. Splesman.'s case was similar. Here In Tacoma the Victoria management kicked strenuously at the action of Umpire Ward in plastering three fines, totaling $25, onto Householder, on three occasions, and putting him out of the park in charge of a policeman. In Spokane Longanecker put Manager Williams out of the game the first day and fired one or two more during the series. Over in Seattle they insist that Lindsey'a men are following in the footsteps of the Lucas regime, and if this Is true it is to be regretted. But perhaps It is not. Um pire Ward stated after the Sunday game that it was not hte Inten tion, nor the intentions of the other umpires in the circuit to overdo the discipline stunt, nor to take any snap or fighting spirit out of the game by overdoing the rules. He said he understood this had been done last year, but that there was to be more leeway allowed this season. This did not mean, however, he said, that any player was to override the umpire. When any player attempted this, he thought it was better for all concerned that he be disciplined and that quickly. In this series there has been little fault found with the de cisions of Ward, and the majority think he did right in maintaining against Householder, the dignity of his position and his decisions. We do not know the right or wrong of th« Spokane and Seattle con troversies, but so much for the Tacoma end. • • • Ward Disciplines Householder There were some interesting little sessions between Ward and Householder last week. Early In the week Housholder paid his re spects to his majesty. Ward says he told Eddie right there to cut it or he would have to plaster him. Eddie (ailed to cut it. Friday Eddie talked some more and Ward said $5. Saturday the big doings came off and before it was all over Householder was out $15 —and out of the park in the bargain. It started when Gordon threw a curve to Manes that Eddie thought was a pretty bum strike and he told Ward all about it. Ward fined him and "shooed" him, but the Islander manager refused to go. * Ward railed the ball park po liceman and Eddie was escorted from the grounds—but not until he had told all he knew about Ward and collected 7 or 8 pet bats. Sunday Ward called two of Schmutz' spitters on Eddie, and without ottering a word Eddie showed the crowd with his hand where the balls had come. Again Ward said $f> and Eddie got so mad he whaled away at the next oat and struck out. Ward Cays Eddie is a crab and that he has to be shown who is boss. "Everybody knows him down below," says Ward, "and as a player he is the biggest crab on earth, so what is he going to be as a manager? He crabs his own men and they are sore. I (old him I would piaster him and he dared me to. I did and then be dared me to put him off the grounds. I did that. lam going to ask President Mndsey to write a letter to Householder telling him to get in and win ;ilf the games he can — but to quit crabbing anil being dirty. 11l lut Eddie will be out two games every series this season, unless something" U done with lilm. Wait till Kane and Longanecker get at him." Bill Fisher Sasses Ed Huns.'holder also kicked up « little excitement with First Base man Bill Fisher, and several of the boys r>n the teams believe the two will get together before the Tigers leave Victoria. Bill was sassing Eddie real hard on the coaching line Friday, and had a bat in his hand at the time. Eddie told Bill to come on, bat and all. Eddie is a pugnacious sort of a chap all right, and down in Califor nia has sent more than one ragged ball player to the cleaners. Once Truck Eagan got It into his head he could polish Eddie, but Eddie showed him he wag mistaken. Truck got even though. Eddie was playing in the field next day, and when Truck came to bat, with a chunk of court plaster as big as your hand over his eye, he swatted the ball over Eddie's head for a homer and Eddie had to run the ball down. « j» • • • Dope of First Series Now that the first aeries Is over, all kinds of baseball dope is being peddled. But the results have been pretty close to what was figured, on form. Spokane, probably the strongest team in the league, is at the top, but it is a question if Portland would be at the bottom had she been up against any other team than Spokane. She lost three to the champions on 11-inning struggles, and played the Indians to a standstill. Seattle has shown better form than Van couver, which is a surprise, and the Giants' performances this week indicate that the team is likely to continue a surprise for some time. The Victoria team Mm a few stars, there is no getting around that fact. But it is a team built around these stars, and not a well-bal anced organization. It haa about the classiest pitcher in this league Au Bill Lane, and Thomas la not so far behind. Ten Million is a ■weet hitter and a sure enough speed marvel. The rest of the boys are not world-beaters. About the only fault to find with the Tacoma team is that they are not meeting the ball. Perhaps this is because they have been against stiff pitching. It is more likely because they have not hit their stride. The three or four new players that are to join the team should stiffen the lineup, which is weak in one or two places. Then watch the Tigera.

The Tigers were off for Van couver latt night and today they tangle with Bob Brown's Beavers for six sessions. As the Canadian law does not permit of Sunday ball they wind up the series by entertaining the Brown crew on the Tacoma lot next Sunday. •The line-up today will be uractically the same tiat faced Victoria Sun day. HcCamment will lead off. By Thursday those new play ers Shreeder bought from the St. Louis Nationals should be on hand, and Abbott will likely go to center in place of Burns, the util ity boy, while Pete Morse will take the place of McF*adden at short. Htgßins, the new pitcher,' will likely get into the ganmas soon as he is over the effeoWof his journey. Little is known of Abbott or Hlgglns, but they must be good men to even get passing notice from Roger Hrebnatoan.

"Satisfy you?" he inquired. "It sure does," announced Mc- Intyre and then he made a touch and disappeared. The fact that Mclntyre will be valuable to the Cubs was apparent in the first game he pitched. He defeated Pittsburg, giving the Chicago team its first victory of the, sea son, lie had dazzling stuff and served it. West-side fans are predicting he will be the wonder pitcher who will do what Brown used to do and what Cole did last season. [this spring, but as St. Louis Is supposed to have about the class | lest Infield in the National, there > was little chance for Pete. He . made a great record in the Twl , light last year, hitting .340 dur ( ing the season. He failed to , make good with the Tigers three years ago und the bugs are all the more Interested in the kid now. Hlggins pitched for Bloomington in the Three-I last year and hit .236. Outfielder Abbott hit .250 , in the Ohio-Pennsylvania league. Shreeder pungled up $2,500 real money for the trio. Soldier Boy Siebt is due along here most any day now and with those three men in the game and ' living up to their reputation, the Tigers ought to put tip a pretty ■ nifty front. Shreeder made up his mind > that Jimmy Whalen would not be able to get in the game this year, so he released the veteran and al lowed him to drift South. -There Is where the Tiger boss Is out an ! other nice bunch of coin. It de velopß now, though, that DeVogt aid Burns did not cost any real money, but that Charley Graham is to have his pialt of two of the Tiger cublets this Tall in exchange A San Francisco paper says that Graham has already decided to pick Jacky Warren and Bert Hall, provided St. Louis, which has an option on the fork-ball twirler, * does not haul him in.

Both twirlers pitched good ball. Fern Hill had a nice lead until the last Innings, when a few errors evened things up. The Tacoma High school team handed It to the U. P. S. boys Saturday afternoon by a 11 to G score. Esteland of the High fanned 13 men, and Boatman struck out 9. The High school boys made only 2 erroni to 6 of the U. P. S. and played better ball throughout. By a scoje of 4 to 1 the Taco ma Grays took the Pacific Brew ing & Malting Co. team into camp yesterday in a game played on the tldeflats. Olson pitched a good game for the Grays and the Brew ers polled only 2 hits during the game, which they turned into 1 hit during the first inning. The Pfisters trimmed the Me- Kenna Miners yesterday by a score of 19 to 17. The game was purely a swatfest, and many hits and errors were made. Wilkeson lost to the Dryers yesterday by a score of 3 to 2. Taylor, of Wilkeson, held the Dry ers to two bingles, but lost the game. From all accounts Seattle has a pretty fair team. It's a cinch bet Eddie House holder gave Thomas a call for al lowing H. Johnny Bassey to steal home right under his nose. Seattle trimmed the Beavers— Can the Tigers do the same. Some bug in Shreeder's last night made the crack that the Is landers would not take a game in Spokane. It is possible they will, if Mr. Thomas pitches, and almost a cinch they will, should Bill Lane get into the game. Bert Annie, the Tigers' erratic southpaw, and Bert Whaling, Se attle's young catcher, are now a battery for an outlaw team in Salt Lake. Annis, it will be* remem bered, jumped the Tigers after get ting a nice bunch of advance money from Shreeder. Dugdale cannot figure out why Whalen de serted him a few days ago. Tighe had told the young fellow he could catch half the games this year. Jack was sweet on the kid and was sure the young fellow would go up this fall. Another promis ing career blighted. YEAN GREGG WINS OVER JESS BAKER In the National the Cobs are fast pulling away from New York and PUtsburg, but the strange. part of it is the Phillies tflso keep just as far in front of the Cubs. The first is form, 'but who over thought those despised Phillies could take 7 out of 8? Critics laughed at Charley Doom. last winter when he pulled that trade with Cincinnati, but results count and Doom is surely getting them.

HERE WE WIN AND HEBE WE DO NOT Mr. Blame Gordon pulled the trick for uur athletics Suturduy, but Charlie Scbmutz failed to repeat yesterday, so we have to bo content with an even split on that series with the Islanders. Mr. Gordon had the game well In band at all stages Saturday. Victoria's half of the fourth inning was an Illustration of this fact. With the bases full and three balls on Manes, who was at bat, Gor don put 'two strikes over, and Manes hit t-he third to center ior a flyout, which retired the side. Pretty work for any pitcher. Tho Tigers won their game in the sixth by collecting four hits off Mar shall and forcing 2 runs over the plate. Burns, Fisher and McFad den each came through with a slnghe filling the bags. DeVogt, the old reliable, slammed out a nice single at tnis juncture and two scored. Yesterday it was different. Schmutz allowed the Islanders 7 hits, but they turned these into only 3 runs, which wasn't so bad. On theo ther hand Eddie Burns got a hit off Thomas in the ninth, and that was all stingy Mr. Thomas allowed, and the two runs the Tigers accrued resulted in no way from bingles. Thomas had all kinds of smoke yesterday and he pitched a game that Would win most anywhere. He also came through with two three-base -wallops, which were disastrous. About the only fault to be found with Thomas yesterday was his longldrawn wind up with men on basos. The windup wa» so long that in the sixth Bassey electrified the crowd by stealing home, Ty Cobb style, after Thomas had started to deliver the ball. ..When he saw Bassey tear ing for the plate he threw wild to Dashwood and Jchnny was safe.
