Eddie Men sor, a hale and hearty McDowell real backstop and pitching talent that could be branded as even mediocre, suffered their worst defeat of the sea son yesterday afternoon. The Tacoma Tigers opened the season on the Vaughn-street grounds by walloping the cellarltes 14-1. The hard luck streak which fastened Itself securely to the Colts refused to be shooed away with the return of the once frolicsome equines. Soutnpaw Tonneson. scheduled to f open the Tacoma series, was struck on the left wrist by a wild Tacoma heave ; - on the warming-up station and forced 4 to take a seat on the bench. Bloom ' field and Lamllne, shunted Into the , breach under the reconstruction, were woefully inadequate to the task of , stopping Mike Lynch's team. " Tigers Get Nine Rons' la First. I - The lsia record for men to appear f : at the batting station In a half ln- T. nlng was broken before the small crowd had fairly settled Itself for the fray. Thirteen Tigers faced Bloom- field and Lamllne in the first inning, - six of them driving Bloomfleld from . the mound and the other eight con vincing mmllne et al that It was use less to call for more pitching recruits. rj. Seven hits, three passes, one error and .' a sacrifice bunt gave the Tacomans - nine runs. i Seldom has a pitcher essayed mound - duty with prospects as bright as those which greeted Bert Hall when he as- t-cended. the hurling hill. The nine-run lead was soon converted Into 11, but he refused to be Inveigled Into a Dltv . lug humor and went after the Colts as 'though on run spelled disaster. He rtcmanaged to hold them scoreless, de- ""-spite 10 bingles, until-the seventh' In .c.ning, and evened up for' the lapse and added a run to spare when he clouted ..the sphere over the left field fence In - the ninth inning, sending Mickey La Longe in ahead of him.

TOMMY RYAX QUITS FLYXX Former Sacramento First Baseman Is in 111-Health -Gipe Is Playing With Holyoke, ' Mass., in Connecticut Leagne. :' BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. Pitcher Harry Gardner, the Portland I boy for whom Pittsburg paid Vancouver farcy price estimated around $3500 In the Fall of 1910, has been turned I over to the St. Paul American Associa tion team. Gardner was with the ' Pirates all last season but got very little chance to show what he could do. He was re tained, however, this Spring for he is the possessor of a very deceptive fade away hall. His constant complaint of lack of sufficient work finally led Fred I Clarke to put him out with a string at tached. Joe Sugden brought Gardner out at Vancouver in 1910 his first profes sional experience and he proved a winner. Walter McCredle signed him up the Spring before and directed him over to Perle Casey, then manager of the Portland Colts, but Casey uncere moniously released him at Medford and thus Mac passed up a cool X3o00. While St. Paul gets a Portland re emit, Mike Kelley simultaneously loses one, according to information from the Minnesota capital. Tommy Murray, for several aeusons backstop on various Portland clubs, Is the one Involved. I Tommy, says reports from the East, Is scheduled to go to the slipping Den ver Grizzlies of the Western league. Murray was a Class AA catcher with Portland but has always been rather lax In his habits of living. This Spring McCredle traded him to St. Paul, get ting in exchange "Lefty" Steiger, the I southpaw who won a 14-inning game against the Oaks a few days back. Denver has also purchased . Jack I Rowan from .Louisville. Other Pacific Coasters on the East ern slopes are maneuvering into the iimeiignr. A dispatch in the St. Louis Sporting News, under a Chattanooga date line, I says that Hal Danzig, erstwhile Sacra mento first-sacker, will retire from baseball. Danzig is suffering from en largement of the liver and will go to his home -in Pennsylvania for treat ment Earl Sykes, of Atlanta, will re place him at Chattanooga Danzig started out this Spring with the St. Louis Americans, but both he and Ten nant finally settled back to the minors. Tennant avter being turned back to San Francisco, was sold to Sioux City in the Western league. A Wichita critic admits Tom is a good player, but says he talks too much for a new comer in the league. v . Gipe, the Vernon kid pitcher, drafted by the Philadelphia Athletics inci dentally the only inroad into Hap Ho gan's team of last season is now with Holyoke, Mass., In the Connecticut league. - He was "turned over to New Orleans by Connie Mack several weeks ago from whence he meandered' to the northeastern corner of the country.

The Tilliamook Commercial Club baseball team lost its first game of the season Sunday to the Weona team of Portland on an umplre'B decision. The score waa 5 to 3. ' At the beginning of the seventh In ning the score stood 1 to 0 in Tilla mook's favor, but in the last half of the inning a runner hit the ball with his arm, throwing It to one side and allowing two runs to be scored, when it should have been two outs on a blocked ball and forced run. - The home team -contends it was cheated out of a run In the same inning when" Peterson's drive four, feet inslce the right field foul line was called a foul tall.

Vernon led up to Jbe ninth Inning, and then Wolverton knocked the leather over the fence and won the game. The blow killed Hogan for the rest of the week. Jakey Baumgarten, ex-Northwestern League '- umpire, again is in trouble. His decisions so incensed the directors of the California State League that they met In special session and de capitated him. President Fraser was not at the meeting, so he immediately reinstated Jakey with the ultimatum that he and "Chake" would go down together with the scuttled ship.

The strengthening process has been put in operation, for Williams has tele graphed Pat Bohen, ' right-handed moundman, of Napa, CaL, and expects to have the recruit In a Portland uni form within ten days. Bohen Is rec ommended by Oakland Coaster players, with whom he played a portion of last season, while other friends of the Colt manager ' have boosted the youngster to the skies. One of the Colt slabsters is slated for release within a week and from Lamllne's efforts iof yesterday it is evident that he must hustle-to evade the "can." "Hap" Smith, the Brooklyn outfielder, is another disappointment. and undoubtedly will be turned adrift within a week. Williams has the utmost confidence in the ability of Eddie Mensor to strengthen his team, figuring that had his lead-off man been on the Jo'i on the recent disastrous road trip, the five games won would have been augmented to ten, an even break on the 20 diamond tussles. Mensor will be back in the game to day or tomorrow, and will play at sec ond or in the outfield. He is due for an outfield berth as soon as McDowell Is right, but the ex-Beaver has a bad ly strained shoulder and has been de fying the physician's orders In playing recently. Manager Nick expects to break in again- In a day or two, although his right arm was so bad yesterday that he could scarcely raise it from his side. Bloomfield's side is still bothering him, which accounts for his bad start of yesterday, and It will take another week before he can be counted on to perform consistently. Tonneson, injured " in. yesterday's warming-up prior to the game, may pitch- today, otherwise Doty will be sent in for mound duty. Ed N. Watklns, New Tacoma owner, and Mike Lynch, Tiger manager, are confident that the Tacoma squad will finish in the first division, if not ac tually carry off the bunting In the Northwestern League. Watklns is having his first active baseball experience and takes as much delight in the sport with a winning team as a youngster - with his first real baseball. He played ball with the semi-pros back in his home town of Falrmount, W. Va. - He is in the wholesale electrical supply business in Tacoma, invading the Northwest four years ago and Immediately going into business. He didn't find the electrical business troublesome enough, so he broke into baseball." is the way Judge McCredle sized up Watklns' move after witness life the slaughter of his Colts. Mike Lynch, looking nve years vounjrer and at least 25 pounds lighter, is optimism personified. Mike believes that he has gathered together the best team in the league. He takes much pride In the pitching staff and figures It just a shade better than any other club, although he concedes that Vic toria haa "some" twirlers. Brennan. the new' Tacoma utility man who played third base yesterday. waa signed Sunday after a little trou ble with Pete Morse. Lyncn gives It out that he grabbed Brennan from Victoria In order to give his squad a man to bat against the left-hand Ditchers. Bill Yoke proving weak against the southpaws. However. Morse, under an "anti- booze" contract, kicked over the traces cm several occasions lately and the Tiger management was determined to have a man ready to fill his shoes should It be found necessary to relieve the man St. Louis secured last season. George Van Haltren. the veteran Dlayer who is doing Indicator work this week, had trouble galore at Spokane Sunday. Van says the teams agreed to call the second game at o'clock and one of the enthusiastic press-box men rang the bell nve minutes before the hour In order to keep the Colts from taking a turn at bat. Van called them back and ordered the inning played out. They are guaranteed to equal any regular $22.50 suit All the prevailing modes on display. y a 1 o, Clothing Company On Washington O yf CI Nr Seventh et - - O O . . ....
