Tacoma w again kicked deeper Into th- cellar yesterday afternoon by Casey Colts, this to the tune of C to 2. The afternoon's play on the Vaughn-street in cisure furnished a weird mixture of baseball and rave the fans a chance to rail Umpire Carney a robber to their heart's content. If. through his decision In the opening Inning, the Colts had lost the matinee. Carney would have had the pleasure of explaining himself out of a protested game. The Tigers again started off In the opening inning as if they were going to give Portland a lacing. Newlin. who has been pitching good ball for the tallenders since he waa picked up. had a woosy day. He was In trouble in all four of the Innings he officiated and had the Colts not shoved four bell-ringers over the pan In the second. Tacoma would have won. The mix-tip came after Coleman had walked and been retired at the plate by a perfect throw by Crocker. Hurley was out. making two In the brine. Irby singled and Conrad, who Joined Tacoma Instead of Pashwood, poked out a single. Chief Finance missed the range on Kip pert, filling the way slationa Cart wright was at bat and with three balls and one strike, I'rhy started a steal for home. Finance wound up and delivered the ball wide and Murray, thinking the limp would call the de livery a ball, did not make an effort to tag the runner. I'mp Carney had a different notion. In hi. mind he merely called It a thrown ball to tat. h the runner, waved the run ner safe and then, when Murray let a yell out of him, his unipness very promptly chased him out of the game and off the Held. Tren. because Cooney wanted a little light thrown upon Carneys silent thought-making decisions, he had his meal ticket punched for a five spot. Coony had a perfect right to make his Inquiry, for no one. not even the unip himr-elf. knew Just what came off. and If Carney tnIMs upon collecting tne coin. President Lucas should make the limp, not Cooney, dig up. With this ace in the hole stating them In the face, the Colts got right smart busy with Mr. Newlin. Bassey singled, stole second and he scored when Conrad, after a desperate run. failed to clutch Kennedys drive. Chief Pinance put a one-two-three crime In Tacoma In the second and then the CVlts landed on Newlin. titu:o:. dn w a pass and Crocker put a dump into a hit because Tncoma wasn't looking. Fcurnior gets credit for a hit because no one covered second. Crocker was cakght off third and Pinance was passed. Adams fouled out and Co.m.y s walk forced Slaton. Bassey here broke up the game with a screamer that got bv Mackin, went to right field, escaped Irby and ducked under the canvas. Bassey tock third on the poke and three Colts romped home. Staton again walked in the third and he was brought home by Foumier'a triple. Tlie score: TACOMA. a b. it. in. ro. a. .40121 . K 0 ft A i ojeman. so. Hurley, lb.. Irby. rf 4 2 S 1 n Conrad.

SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 1 (Spe cial.) "Jimmie de Whale" got away with pitchers' battle today, letting Sacramento make its second victory of the series) by beating Portland, 2 to 1. Harkness opened up wild, but steadied himself and let only two hits. The three hits off W'halen came In a row, which gave the Beavers a splendid opportunity to make a winning. Breen, the first up in the third, slammed a two bagger to right. Fisher singled to center and Breen scored on Harkness' hit past first base. Olson popped out to second and Speas and Ryan went out at first on grounders, which would have been run-making tilts to win the game. Harkness's Passes and Errors. Harkness walked the first two men to face him, but the Senatorial batsmen couldn't find him for a hit. The opener of the second was a pass, an error, which put two on bases, and a wild pitch ad vanced the pair a base, but two strike outs and an Infield grounder put scoring on the blink. Gandil came in for a hit in the third, but in trying to get to sec ond was nipped by Speas' true peg to Breen. The victory came for Sacramento in the fifth, when Whalen started on a pass. Harkness seemed persistent to lose the game, so made a bad throw to first on Doyle's bunt. House went out on an in field fly and Gandil walked, filling the bases. -Flanagan's hit to left scored Whalen and Shlnn squeezed Doyle home. Harkness and Ort Fight. Fisher was fined $0 in the first inning for "crabbing" at McGreevy's decisions on balls and strikes, and In the seventh was forced to retire when a ball split the end of his finger. Harkness and Ort had a bitter fight be fore the game opened yesterday. They disputed their proper time for batting practice, both wanting to bat at the same time. Ort made the first blow and Hark ness came back at him. The punch failed, so they clinched, but were separated by other members of tne team. Ort wanted to go outside and finish it, but Harkness was satisfied to quit. The fight was wit nessed by a few of the early fans. What ever throws Harkness got to first today were aggravating and one was chalked up against him as an error. The score: PORTLAND. AB. R. IB. PO. A. E.
