The Tacoma Tigers played
their last game yesterday and
■won over Vancouver by a score of
•to 0. Today It will be the Or
phans against Vancouver. It did
not make any difference whether
Tacoma lost the franchise or not
to the players. The fact that
they were losing their home only
seemed to Inspire them to greater
effort yesterday and today, now
that they have become the Or
phans, without home and undre
the step-parentage of the league,
the Orphans are getting ready to
repeat the performance this aft
ernoon.
Criger pitched a great shutout
game, only allowing /our scatter
ed hits to the Beavers. A pass
and two hits In the fifth was the
best the Beavers could do but
Criger steadied and the other
Orphans came to the rescue. Ab
bott, Neighbors and Cameron
were the heavy stick artists, get
ting two hits each. Morse was
the only man who did not get a
hit. There was a conspicuous
absence of errors. The Orphans
played practically perfect base
ball. The score:

Franchise Lost To Tacoma
By Action of A. E. Rothermel
Tacoma was dropped from the
Northwestern league yesterday
afternoon 'by the league directors.
When the league refused to ac
cept President Kothermel's offer
to pay him $3 500 for the fran
chise and assume $4500 liabili
ties, it is said, the matter was
taken out of his hands.
The directors offered to heturn
his $1000 forfeit fee and assume
the liabilities, and drew up an
agreement, giving him until June
to adjust his finances.
Rothermel first accepted this
offer, then changed his mind, so
the franchise is gone.
The Tacoma schedule will now
be abandoned, and Seattle and
Victoria will have continuance
baseball. AH" deals for players.,
especially those for the sale of
Schmutz and Gordon are called
The team is taken over by the
league, which will place it in
some other city. The decision was
reached after an all day session
at the Tacoma hotel, with all the
directors present.
The final decisive resolution
follows:
"Whereas, for business reasons
It has become necessary to drop
Tacoma from the Northwestern
league, the league being unable
to get assurances that the pres
ent management can or will main
tain the club, the president of the
league is hereby authorized to
place said team Jn such city aa
appears to be in the beet interest
of said league."
North Yakima, Everett and Bal
lard are spoken of for the team,
but President Jones said he had
no idea where the team would go.
"But it will be kept together,"
he said. "Selling off the best

Rotliermel To Blame.
The losa of the baseball fran
chise and team to Tacoma is di
rectly attributable, the league di
rectors say, to the stuibbornesg of
Rothermel.
Not only did the league direc
tors offer him ewery chance to
raise money and make good but
also offered him his $1,000 for
feit and to pay the liabilities of
the club that It might be taken
over by other Tacoma people.
Rotbermel refused to accept
unless Ed. N. Watkina, the only
Tacoman to come forward, was
not to receive the clnb.
Not Lost Vet.
The franchise, however, is not
entirely lost to Tacoma. It Is
for sale now to the hlghestt bid
der. Tacomans may get the
franchise back and keep the club
here by making the first bid.
The action must be decisive be
fore some other town gobbles up
the privilege. Whoever gets the
franchise and club will get it free
of encumberances. The league
will pay off all d«bts and the
back salaries of the players.
To finance the deal would take
at least $ 10,000 cash to operate
the club on a successful financial
basis through at least another
year aud perhaps two.
The players are estimated to be
worth over $10,000. Several of
them are wanted by the major
leagues who are willing to pay a
good price. By judicious hand-;
ling the team could be made to
pay for itself within a few years
and leave a good clean profit.

Eddie Shepler and Jimmy
Slambango will travel six fast
rounds in the second contest and
there is consldera/ble Interest in
the contest between Joe Bonos
and Sailor Moran at catch
weights. It has attracted as
much attention among the mem
bers aa does the Marino Steele
bout and both men will have a
large following at the smoker.
Bonds Is a 7 to 4 favorite with
plenty of color in evidence.
Bruce Ashman, the stocky little
wrestler and boxer of Cle Khun,
has agreed to referee. He will
insist that the men break at a
tap on the shoulder. Any hang
ing on or holding will not be tol
erated after the first warning
and the hold will forfeit the con
test if he persists.

St. Martins Wins
Eight Victories
in Succession
BY I>EXTBIt MAXt TB.
LACEY, May 28.—St. Martin's
gained their eighth straight vic
tory Saturday when after a game
that almost had them beaten they
finally brought into camp the
formidable ball players from Lit
tle Rock.
St. Martin's faced the finest
pitcher they have met this season
in Cummings of Little Rock. He
struck out every one of tne col
lege lads, three of them taking
the dose twice.
Jim Woods for the students,
however, pitched a good steady
game. Only one run was made by
the visitors and that in the first
frame on'an error and two base
hit. The remainder of the, game
netted a row of bubbles on the
score board.
