BIG SPECIAL
FEATURES
"TINY'S" PITCHING HAD TACOMA CATS GUESSING ONCE MORE
AND AS A RESULT
BENGALS APPEAR
ON SHORT END
The Tigers are playing good
hall these days, hut they haven't
yet reached the petalt where they
can get away with two garnet
In succession, even If the second'
game Is plsyed on ladles day be*
for* a loyal bunch of euthualas
tie women fsns. Tscoma simply
couldn't get started against
Tlay" Ijeonard. whose decep
tive underhand delivery seems<
to be about all the pitching abil
ity be had.
"Tim • is so laxy that b«
Mumbles over his own feet, and
the. sa\ that Williams has been
going to csn him because be la
ao hard to get out of bed morn
lags.
Nevertheless when the Bengal*
were perched on the corners
waiting for their passsge home.
Leonard warn aa hard to hit a*
Freddie Welsh.
But it wssnt' footwork thst
did the work for "Tiny"—he all
waya keeps both feet oh th>'
ground It was pitching of the
variety that the Tigers couldn't
aelve. They thought they had
found his number In the eighth
Inning when three hits filled tha
has— with two out. Butler hit
to Coltrin for the last out and
the tumult and the shouting died.
Willis Boatman started for tha,
locals. In ths first inning Col
trin slipped by on a error, which
I* trouble enough considering
that he stesls second snout ev
ery time he gets to first. Milli
gan walked, and Boatman mad*
tha trouble raal by hitting Lewis
an the tip end of the Index fin
gar. Ordinarily Lewis couldn't
hare got away with tt but Wheel
er was there with both orbs and
allowed the Colts to fill the bags.
Ia tbe trouble that followed two
runs scored Those two run*
wore enough to win th* game.
Jones and Baker finished In the
boa for Tacoma.
Guignl and Lewis furnished
th* hitting and fielding sensa
tions for the ladies tn view of
the fart that "Iszy" Kaufman
waa resting from his fourteen
Innlng battle in Spokane last
Sunday. Lewis hit three for an
ar*rage of .1000 and Oulgnl
covered the territory around
third base tn a way that would
do oredlt to the Tacoma fir* de
. pertmeiit He also laced out r
couple of hits for the Colts.
Wheeler umpired s good game
la spite of some crabbing from
the fans In the left field bleach
ers. He was on top of every
play, called more than the usual
number of close decisions and
kept the game going all the time.
Cmpire Wheeler Is the man
that developed Bender and St*v
•ns. the two new men that re*
eantly Joined the Tigers from th*
Fresno team in the now defunct
California State league. Wheeler
managed the team and plsyed as
catcher. Bender is only 20 years
old and this la his first experi
ence In Claaa B ball. Stevens Is
not yet 21 aad ha* the earmarks
of being one of the best catchers
_ lire league. Stevens' hitting
ability alone should keep him la
the game regularly. He undoubt
edly wonld make gyod at first
has* If hi* services weren't more
valuable aa a catcher.
The Tigers and Colts will play
•gain today st I:It. With good
weather the fans should turn out
hotter thla week than ever be
fore. Th* Tiger* are playing
winning ball aad are entitled to
hotter support.

WHICH PLAYS BEST? THE TALI OR SHORT MAN
Someone haa revived the ques
tion whether big naaa or little
man play the hotter baseball Tbe
question fit a good deal like the
one discussed among players
whether slue Walter Johnsons
could boat nine T> t obbs But

That doesn't decide much, does
It? On* can pick a "little"
team that probably would win. a
tall team the same way, and the
big team just as easily. Un
doubtedly the style of ball play
er* now runs to th* strong, big
fellows, especially in the pitch
ing Hue. Four out of every five
pitchers In the major leagues
now sr* close to 6 feet and 200
pounds. Styles have changed
wonderfully. The managers are
after men with the weight and
strength to stand th* sear and
tear of a season, or of a dozen
seasons, but the little men are
not barred.
Look back over the lists: An
son, Delehanty, Young, Comis
key, Williamson, were giants of
men. Anson wanted huge fal
lows with driving power behind
them. On the other hand Hugh:
Dotty was at his greatest at 140
pound*, Willie Keeler welghnd
about 135, McOraw wss a lift*
man, Griffith, Cunningham, Rad
huurn*, Billy Sullivan, score* of
great players, were small.
Paterson Tip O'Neill weighed
98 pounds when he was catching
200-pound pitchers who took a
five-foot run and hurled the ball
at htm from 50 feet. Rusie was
the fat, short-armed type, and so
was Tom Toad Ramsey. Michel*.
Tacks Parrott, Scissors Foutz
were slim lanky fellows.
So It doesn't seem to make
murh difference. It Is the spirit
In the man, rather thsn ths size
that makes the ball player, even
though Anson when he released
Hugh Duffy remarked. "You lack
about 7 Inches and 100 pounds of
being a great ball player
If one were to select a type tt
would be the fellow about 5 feet
10 inches, slender, hroad-ahoiil.t
ered, lithe and fast, thst would
best represent the gsme.
BREEZE AND
HEWITT WIN
Breeze and Hewitt in the
men's double* furnished the best
play of the day yesterday in the
tennis tourney at the Tacoma
Tennis club. In the men's sin
gles Hewitt, Brown and Hudson
won. Helen Atkinson and Uer
aldlne Pratt won the women'!
singles and Dorothy Dempae>
snd Dorothy Davis won the wom
en's doubles.
BASE BALL NOTES
