BY W. J. PETRAIN.
With the former San Francisco Pa
cific Coast League twirler, Joel Bergrcr,
on the mound yesterday, the Tacoma
Tigers slipped a 5 to 1 victory over on
Tearl Casey's team, and each of the
quintet of aces was corralled in a
separate inning. The best Portland
could do against the new twirler's
work and Tneoma's horseshoe luck, was
one lone tally.
Big Bill Chenault was on the mound
for Casey, and he tvVs anything but
Bteady at critical periods. He was
found at frequent Intervals, and each
of these intervals came when an anx
ious Tiger was perched on the paths
and within convenient distance of the
home plate.
The only Innings In which Tacoma
did not score were the first, seventh,
eighth and ninth, and good fielding
alone stopped them. The Tiger bats
men managed to hit the ball past the
Portland inflelders, and on one or two
occasions, past the outfielders, while
all the batting done by Portland seemed
to be right at some Tacoma mnn. Hall's
men scarcely had to move out of their
tracks to nail the offerings of the Port
land batsmen.
First Run Is Girt.
The first run of the game was hand
en Tacoma on a silver platter, and Che
nault was the chief donor. Two men
were out when he passed Kippert and
in the effort '.o take back his gift, the
twirler heaved wildly to Mullin, and
Kip went to third. Short hits by Mac
Ir, and Breslno followed, and on t.he
first one, Kippert scored.
A single by Suess, Chenault's sec
ond error. Hurley's bingle and a double
steal gave another in the third. Kip
prrt's infield tap. and his steal of sec
ond, followed by Maokin's sacrifice and
a similar dump by Bresino, registered
another in the fourth.
In the fifth Inning both teams scored.
Passes to Cartwrlght and Swain, Ben
der's out and another error by Che
nault scored Cartwrlght. Kippert was
at bat when Chenault attempted to
catch Swain oft-cond and pinged the
elephantine personage in the short ribs
and the runner from third chased home.
Marty Murphy singled In Portland's
naif, though Mackin almost got him ran
a great stop and throw. Murray was
pickled on the facetious hinge, and
Chenault's Infield tap advanced both
men. Casey's long fly to Swain chased
Murphy over, but Murray was caught
between bases and morgued after
Marty had registered.
Oooncy Outs Off Scores.
A double by Mackin, Bresino's sac
rifice and a single by Berger negoti
ated the last run for Tacoma, although
the hustlers from Puget Sound were
threatening at all times. A phenome
nal leaping one-handed catch of a
liner front Mackin's bat by Phil Cooney
In the eighth was all that prevented
a flock of runs.
Ike Butler or Clafiin will be sent
against Portland today, -while Casey
will probably depend upon Chief Pin
nance. The official score of yester
day's game is as follows:

TIGERS ARE IX FOR SHAKE-UP
Shreeder Ready to Eire Whole Team
If Xecessary.
TAOMA, Wash.. May 13. (Special.)
When the Tacoma Tigers return home for
the Spokane series there is a likelihood of
a radical change being made In the per
sonnel of the team. President George M.
Shrewder, aftar his return from Portland,
stated that lie was tired of losing and
that there would be a general shakeup
as soon as the team arrives here He is
keeping the wires hot in an effort to land
new players. He wants a. winning team
and is ready to pay almost any price.
There Is some talk of getting Tommy
Shcehan. a former Tiger, and last year
with Brooklyn, but now in the California
State League. He is a contract-jumper
and Shreeder may have trouble in squar
ing him. Negotiations have been opened
with the Kansas City club for the. pur
chase of. Tommy Downle, the Tiger's
crack second baseman two years ago.
Shree ler has strings out for several other
players and Is determined to win if he
has to fire the whole "present team.
FANDOM AT RANDOM
CASEY'S team hit out of luck yester
day, and the ex-Seal twirler got
away with his first game in the North
western League.
Oh, Joy! How did it happen? The mutt
Oakland team plastered the whitewash
on the Seals.
J. Cal Ewings umps must have over
looked a bet, or else Jimmy Wiggs re
fused to cater to Mohler's outfit. How
ever, the Seals are in the lead and may
be jollying tho rest of us.
Nick Williams is quoted at Frisco as
saying Portland fans are prejudiced
against the Coast League umpires. Why
shouldn't we be, when everything close
was given the Mohler outfit?
Besides the Pacific Coast-League haa
not one umpire who will give half the
satisfaction Jimmy Flynn does with all
his stickling for rules at the behest of
President Lucas.
Portland fans, even though there was
considerable batting and run-getting yes
terday, were enabled to get home before
their suppers got cold, and that is more
than the Coast umps have accomplished
yet.
The only trouble with Umpire Flynn is
that he obeys President Lucas' orders
to the letter, and Lucas can make It much
easier for his officials if he were not
so stringent. The fans like to see gingery
coaching, which puts life into the game.
The incapacity of Lew Nordyke has
worked havoc with the Vancouver cham
pions, for the Canuck outfit is being taken
down the line so fast that it will be the
cellar for theirs unless a brace is shown
soon.
see.
These no-hit no-run games are becoming
as frequent as home run clouts. Jimmy
Wiggs came through with one yesterday
and several others have been recorded
along the Coast since the season opened.
Fans would rather see hitting.
m
Tugdale's horse shoes continue to abide
with him. Note yesterday's game. Shut
out for seven innings, Lynch's "phenonis"
bagged four aces in the eighth and the
Indians fell for it easy.
... .
Manager Casey decided that Marty
Murphy, lame or on crutches, was bet
ter in right field than Swanton, and
played the ex -Seal there. Marty aid well,
but none of the Colts were in the run
ning agirinst Joel Berger's fine work
"Little Giant" Jesse Garrett was to the
front and center yesterday, and Happicus
Hogan's Hooligan outfit found it out be
fore the game was over. The McCredie
band got but few hits, but they made
all count for something.
Old Cy Young worked his first game of
the season against his former teammates
yesterday, and they pounded him all over
the lot. Boston winning from Cleveland
by S to L Cy will get back at- that
bunch before the season is over, for he
is a warm weather pitcher.
s
'Brother'' Joe Corbett was the victim
of the slufr game to the Oakland Joke
club yesterdty. Joe must be in bad
with Mohler to be delegated to lose
"cinch" games. Hard luck, Frisco. Mohler
' ought to win ayery game this season
; when he has the umps with him.

LOS ANGELES, May 13. (Special.)
McCredie's pets got their good and
plenty today for the 12-innlng no-score
game of yesterday, by trimming Ver
non, 6 to 1, in a rattling game. It was
all done in the seventh inning, when
the Portland boys sent five men across
the plate with ease that was sickening
to the home team.
In the fourth inning both teams
scored. Speas hit wide of first and was
safe on Adams' poor throw. He got
third on a wild pitch by Hltt, and
Romped home when Stovall dropped
Breen's easy fly to center. For Vernon,
Haley scored after a single to center
and stealing second, on a double by
Caffyn.
But the deluge came in the seventh.
Stovall dropped Johnson's fly to cen
ter and was safe on first. Breen walked
and Johnson moved to second. Ken
nedy doubled to left, scoring Johnson
and Breen. Armbruster followed with
another double to center, scoring Ken
nedy. Garrett singled to right, ad
vancing Armbruster to third. Ryan
put a hit right on the spot where Gar
rett landed, scoring Armbruster, and
moving Garrett along to third. Ryan
was caught stealing second or there
would have been worse slaughter.
Olson sacrificed, sending Garrett home.
Speas was out, Eagan to Adams.
When the smoke had cleared away
the game was over and a half hour
later Happy Hogan's men came to and
counted the five scores which carried
away the game. Score:

SAN FRANCISCO, May 13. (Special.)
Big Jim Wiggff, the giant twirler of
the Oaks, almost pitched himself Into a
world's record at Recreation Park this
afternoon; also, which is just as much to
the point, Wiggs shut out the Seals and
stoppped the winning streak of the lead
ers in the pennant race by a score of
3 to 0.
In fact, Wiggs came as close to the
no-hit-no-run record without a man
reaching first base as has been attained
on the Coast. Wiggs hit Kid. Mohler In
the first inning, but outside of that mis
hap not a San Fransiscan reached first
base. Pitching wonderfully good ball
and striking out eight men, Wiggs was
accorded perfect support by the team.
The Seals did not have a chance to score.
Mohler was caught trying to steal . sec
ond and there was not anything that
looked like a semblance of a hit. Cy
Young and a few others have pitched
those games where not a man reached
first, and when Wiggs had passed
through the nine innings there was many
a fan bemoaning the luck . that caused
him to hit Mohler. Score:

CHICAGO, May 13. Washington and
Chicago battled for 17 innings today and
the game was called on account of dark
ness with the score 1 to 1.
White allowed only one hit in the last
ten Innings.
Manager Cantillon's tactics in the 17th
inning probably saved his team from de
feat. The locals had men on second and
third with one out. Manager Sullivan
then took himself out of the game, and
sent in Welday, a left-handed batter.
Cantillon then cent Hughes, who was
pitching, to right field and sent In Gray,
a left-handed pitcher. Sullivan countered
by taking out Welday after Gray had
pitched one ball to him. Then Cantillon
tried to withdraw Gray and send Hughes
back against Owens, a right-handed
hitter. According to the new rule It was
up to Gray to finish pitching to the man
who was then batting, or give a pass.
After some heated argument the um
pires forced Gray to continue pitching to
Owens. He did, and passed him. Tanne
Mll was the r.ext man up, -and Hughes
returned to the box, while Ganley went
to right field. Tannehill hit to Higher
and Altzer was forced at the plate. White
ended the chances with a grounder to

Oral Betting Alone.
The attendance was considerably slim
mer than on previous Metropolitan hand
icap days. The entire number aggre
gated lees than 10,000. but in view pf
the ban placed on racetrack betting last
year by the Hart-Agnew law the. falling
off was not such as to cause surprise.
The net results of the day were not
materially altered, betting of a sort
being tolerated. The new form, bow
ever, is a travesty of the practice that
flourished during the days of the Percy
Gray law. Under cover of a decision of
the appellate division of the Supreme
Court whiclt permits oral betting the
layers of odds took up their stations on
the concourse In front of the stand and
in whispers and by nods accepted wagers
and gave odds. The method was veiled
in mystery, accompanied by searching
glances and stealthy looks.
Trusts to Tlonor to Pay. -
If the would-be bettor was known
to the bookmaker his bet was ac
cepted with a muttered "You're
on." No money - was passed; the
bookmaker trusted the bettor to
search him out after the race and pay
him the amount of his wager-lf he lost,
and the bettor on his part trusted the
bookmaker to look him up in the same
fashion and give him his winnings if he
won. Some of the layers of odds set
tled outside the grounds after the last
race and others on the trains comiiuj
back, but most of them put off settle
ment until tomorrow morning at ap
pointed headquarters in town.
The race of the day, the Metropolitan
handicap, was won in handy fashion by
King James, who led the field home by
six lengths.

DRANGA DEFEATS MOE
PORTLAND BOXER HAS ALL THE
BEST OF IT IN SEATTLE.
Frank Also Is Victorious, Throwing
Taylor and Gaining Decision
Over Reese.
SEATTLE,. Wash., May 13. (Special.)
Dranga won all the way through tonight
from Pete Moe, of the Seattle Athletic
Club in boxing, while Edgar Frank took
one fall in a handicap wrestling match
and was awarded the second after an
extra five minutes on account of aggres
siveness. Outside of these matches the
events were not of great merit.
Dranga was in splendid, condition and
while he missed a few left leads early
In the first round, he soon got action and
jabbed Moe time and time again. Toward
the end of the bout Dranga. was tired,
but not as1 tired as Moe, who had lost
all steam and was willing to get in close
to Eave himself. The bout was clean.
Frank met two men, Taylor and Reese,
each of whom weighed about four pounds
more than the champion. Frank threw
Taylor in a trifle over seven minutes.
Reese proved unexpectedly hard to con
quv;r. He did not ki.ow very much about
the game, but he was very strong and
kept getting away. At the end of ten
minutes- Frank bad failed to secure a fall.
By mutual consent five minutes more
were called for and at the end of the
Trait Referee Marbet gave the bout to
Frank on aggressiveness. There was
only a fair crowd present.
