LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Jane 22. (Spe
cial.) Fisher and Koestner couldn't
work In harmony today and Koestner
was badly walloped until Burch went
In behind the bat In the third Inning
The frame was already lost, however,
and although Koestner steadied down
decidedly and in spite of two triples by
the Beavers, nothing could redeem iu
The loss of the game 'by the Beavers
must be charged to Koestner and it
was lost in the first two -innings. He
walked several of the Tigers, forcing
in one run in the second. Krueger
contributed to the disaster by letting
Lltschls single past In the fourth In
ning, when Brashear was on third.
Burch landed a pretty triple In the fifth
inning and Lindsay doubled in the
sixth, but neither advanced a base.
In the first Inning- after two men
were out McDonnell and Brashear
walked and Bayless singled. Litschl
then came across with a Blngle that
scored McDonnell and Brashear.
In the second Stewart and Carlisle
slnerled. Kane was lilt by a pitched ball
and McDonnell walked again, forcing
Stewart . across the plate, uirusie
scored on Brashear's single and Kane
came in after Mahoney had caught Bay-
less- fly.
In the third Burch went in to catch
" for Portland. Burrell singled. Brown
was out. Rodgers to Rapps, Burrell tak
ing second. Stewart singled to left,
putting Burrell on third. Burrell scored
when Stewart was caught between first
and second. Burch to Bancroft.
Brashear scored in the fourth after
two men were out, on a base on balls,
singles by Bayless and Litschl, and the
assistance of Krueger, who let Litschl's
drive get away from him.
The Beavers got together in the
eighth. Koestner singled and scored
on Doane's triple. Lindsay Singled,
scoring Doane and scored himself on
Mahoney's infield single after being
advanced by Rodgers' single. In all.
five hits were made off Koestner in this
inning. The score:

LONGEVITY RECORD IS HELD
Diamond. Boss for Tigers Is Playing
Hl Thirteenth Year With Same
League In City of Destiny
Uniform Ten Seasons. .
Michael Joseph Lynch, the Taeoma
baseball manager who Is known to
fandom-as MUlkey" one of the scrap
piest diamond bosses in the business,
holds the Northwestern League record
for longevity.
This does not mean that Micnaei is
the oldest warrior In ths Fielder Jones
circuit. He merely has crowded more
baseball experience In the Northwest
into his 34 years or existence man any
other player In the game.
For 19 seasons, complete or in part.
Lynch has figured In the tabulations of
the baseball leagues of the Northwest-
He started In 1900 witn Anaconaa.
Mont, and now. In his ISth year, is In
a Tacoma unlfocm for the testth season,
another record for Weetern baseball.
During his diamond career in tn
Northwest Lynch led the Northwestern
League In batting one season, topping
the Hat of sluggers with the splendid
average of .365 for the season's bat
work in 1906. In three of the 12 years
he has batted over .S00 and the grand
average since he first donned uniform
In organised baseball is .288, a splen
did record for any man.
Lynch has played in the Pacific
Coast League, the variously named cir
cuits of the Northwest, the Montana
State League. American Association
and National League.
The Hibernian migrated from St.
Paul to Montana In 189. working on
a railroad near Anaconda and playing
Sunday bait with the fast semi-pro
team of that place. In 1900 the Mon
tana State League was organized and
Lynch played center field for the Ana
conda club.
In 1901 Mike made his debut in Ta
coma as a member of the Pacific Na
tional League Club. He made such a
splendid showing that season that he
was drafted bv the Chicago Cubs, along
with Joe Tinker and Pitcher St. Vrain.
playing In 15 games with the National
Leaguers before he was sent to Minne
apolis. He finished the season at Min
neapolis, then came back to the North
west, played a week with Tacoma, and
wound up his varied experiences of the
year by relieving Bob Brown, present
Vancouver owner, when that worthy
sickened of his Job as umpire after two
days of trials and tribulations.
One week of indicator work was
enough tor Mike, and In 1903, the year
of the Northwestern smashup. he was
back at Tacoma again. The circuit
broke up In mldseason and Lynch fin
ished the year with Butte. In 1904 and
1906 he was with the famous Tacoma
Tigers, of the Pacific Circuit League,
and in 190S was made manager of the
Tacoma Northwesterners.
Lynch has been with Tacoma ever
since, with the exception of 1909, when
he piloted Seattle to a pennant, and a
part of 1910. when he was with Dug
dsle's flaales. Likewise Mike has been
a Northwestern League manager since
1908, and Is now upon bis seventh year
or managership.
As a manager Lynch has been a suc
cess. In 10 his team won the North
western League pennant, was second In
190T. second in 190S. first In 1909 and
fifth In Itll. He expects to win an
other flag this season.
In addition Anaconda won the Mon
tana pennant when Mike was one of its
stellar performers. Butte won the Pa
cific Northwest bunting in 190S, Ta
coma won the Coaster flag in 1904, and
Tacoma won the first half of the Coast
er season of 10S. -
While Lynch expects to win the 1911
Northwestern League championship, he
concedes that the struggle will be a
strenuous one. and furthermore predicts
that the teamsvlll be bunched as much
at the end as they are at present. If
Ms prediction withstands the assaults
of the next few months the Northwest
ern League race will be the most sen
sational In the history of the great
American game.

BT ROSCOE FAWCBTT.
Baseball pitchers have attained fame
by divers and sundry routes, but those
who have reached the highest pinnacle
of glory have done so through the con
secutive victory route.. Rube Mar
auard's 16th victory Friday for the
New York Nationals gives the famous
southpaw the laurels for the year, al
though Walter Johmon. of Washington,
gained great acclaim by his part in the
sensational Washington run oi 11
wins. '
Marquard's victories have all been
cleancut. and save for the ten-inning
affair he finished last Wednesday, going
In at the eighth . hole with the score
a tie, have all been full-inning games.
A pitcher, of course,- must have all
the elements of luck with him to strike
this kind of a winning groove, but
Marquard's effective pitching has been
a real factor this season.
Wonderful Control Slews.
His record up to June 17 shows only
28 v walks,' one wild heave and only
one man hit by pitched ball and that
is wonderful control.
The New York Giants have had on
their list of twirlers more men In the
big win column than any other team
in the land. Keefe, Welch, Rusle,
Meekin, Mathewson, McGinnlty and
Marquard are, members of the organiza
tion. Marquard's 16 run is the modern
record, but the Rube has several old
time marks still to demolish.
Of major league records Timothy
Keefe holds the palm, for he made 19
consecutive . victories In 1888. Rad
bourne's great feat of winning 18
straight games In 18 days Is perhaps
the greatest ever performed. "Micky"
Welch, of the New York Giants, in 1885
had a record of 18 straight, but his
work is now almost forgotten.

Start Was la Central League.
Marquard started out with Canton In
the Central League in 1907, the same
place where Cy Young made his debut
17 years before. Cleveland let ' Mar
quard slip through Its hands to Indian
apolis that Fall and in mldseason of
1908. after a phenomenal burst of speed,
he was sold to New York for 811.000.
McGraw tried to change his style and
nearly ruined him in 1909 and he was
dubbed the "$11,000 Lemon" all around
the circuit. McGraw held on to him,
however, and put him In as a regular
string man In 1911, when he verified his
manager's confidence by leading the
National League pitchers with a per
centage of .779.

BUGS GOING STRONG
Dugdale Confident of Taking
Colts Into Camp.
FANS LIKE RECENT FORM
Three New Players on Seattle Team
to Appear, Strait, Hunky Shaw
and Brooks Barry's Depart
ure Viewed Complacently.
BY PORTUS BAXTER.
SEATTLE. June Z2. "(Special.) "I
am confident we shall get an even
break in Portland this coming week
said Fresldent Dugdale, "and I should
not be surprised if we scalped Nick
Williams' Colts five out of the eight
games.
"The team Is going well in all de
partments and we shall go down to the
big Oregon town with our full force.
Including Pitcher Bob Ingersoll, who
may get his chance to work for the
first time in several weens.
William, haa a strong team, es
peclally snice Mensor and Crulkshank
rut back in the game, but the Seattle
club is a better one and I shall take
great pleasure in putting a crimp in
Judge McCredie s pennani aspirations.
Once the boys get a lead in the race,
I do not think they will be headed
again."
Three New Mas on Team.
This, will be th second and last
trln of the Seattle club to Portland
this year. Since the boys were there,
undec the leadership of Jack Barry,
three new faces have been added to
the list, although two of them Hunky
Shaw and Lee Strait are well known
to the Portland fans. Brooks, f irst-
sacker, has never played In Portland
and his work will be watched with
interest, especially as he takes the
place formerly held by Barry. He Is a
much better fielder than the former
manager) and. while probably not as
good on the bases. Is a better hitter.
He has-not come up to his former
record with the stick, but when he
came to the Pacific Northwest he was
loaded with malaria, some oi wnicn
has been shaken out of his system, as
shown by the fact that he has gained
five Dounds. . Just now he looks like
a prizefighter who has met with a dis
tressing accident. He and Thompson
tried to occupy the .same point with
their heads, with the result that
Brooks got a peach of a black eye.
Double-Header on Today.
Seattle and Spokane will close the
present series tomorrow aiternoon
with the second double-header of the
present season on the Seattle grounds.
The chances are that Charlie Fuller
ton will work the first game of the
double-header against Spokane, which
will remove him from the sphere oi
conflict during the early stages of the
struggle between Seattle and. Port
land in Portland tnis coming wots.
The rejuvenation of the Seattle jC1ud,
which went from last to the top of
the Northwestern League in 19 days
after President Dugdale discharged
Manager Barry for poor judgment in
handling the team on the rieia, is tne
talk of the baseball world In this
section of the country.
Dngdale's Position Upheld
Dugdale repeatedly said that the ma
terial was there for a winning, team,
and in view of what has happened it. la
only fair that this should be recallea.
Barry's failure in Seattle was prin
cipally due to the fact that he did not
know how to handle his men. He
might have got through the season
had Slner been able to play second
base, but the team would not have
been as harmonious as it is unaer
Tealey Raymond. Raymond has shown
remarkably good judgment since ne
took the reins. '
The attendance in Seattle has picked
up amazingly during the past two
weeks and during that time the
weather has not favored the game.
Seattle has not only won consistently.
but has played lino oaii. a majority
of the contests have been of major
league caliber, much in contrast to the
uneven play that characterized the
progress of the early season.

BT JAMES H. CASSELU
Southpaw Girot,. late of the Beavers,
made his debut as a Tiger hunter yes
terday, and by virtue of his stellar
mound work. Colt clouting and Tacoma
mlscues, Portland won, 6-1, making It
four straight victories, four out of five
games for the series, and pulled the
visitors down to their percentage level
But for his erratic heave to third base
In the first Inning Glrot would have
been credited with a shutout. He al
lowed only five hits, two of them de
cidedly scratchy in the opening inning,
and strove valiantly and successfully
to overcome his usually disastrous
wlldness. He allowed only two passes,
and, barring the first Inning, permitted
only one Tiger to reach third base.
Charles Schmutz looked like a good
bet until the sixth Inning, hut his sup
port wobbled In that period, and two
Colts scored. This proved too much
for Charley's aplomb and In the next
round he was hammered for a triple,
a double and two singles, which were
converted into three runs.
The Tigers were lucky in the first.
With two gone Abbott and Neighbors
were credited with hits to Speas. the
first sacker falling to knock down the
ball cleanly In both instances. Abbott
kept on to third on Neighbor's blngle
and when Girot tossed wide to Kibble
In an effort to nip the runner, he trot
ted across the pan with the first run
of the game.
Mensor, the greatest little waiter In
the league, scored the Colt run In the
third Inning, tielng the score. He was
passed by Schmutz, went to second on
Speas' infield out. to third on Crulk
shank's single, and scored on Fries'
sacrifice fly to Abbott.-
History of Sixth Relate.!.
The two Colt runs in the sixth wer
relayed around in this fashion: Fries
was safe on NIll's boot and was sacri
ficed to second by Harris. McDowell
went out, Morse to "Williams. Fries
taking third. Kibble scored Fries with,
a single in back of second, stole second,
took third when Nlll threw Coltrln's
grounder wild to first, end went on
home during the melee.
With one man out In the seventh
Speas tripled to left center aftd scored
on Crulkshank's single to left. Fries
grounded out. Harris doubled to left
center, Abbott and Lynch falling to
agree on who wan to go after the ball,
and Crulkshank scored. McDowell
scored Harris with a single to left, took
second on the throw to the plate and
third when Abbott's heave went to the
stand. Kibble grounded out to Nill.
Joe Williams, the new Tacoma first
sacker, made his first appearance, but
failed to shine. He could not hit the
ball safely and dropped the ball on
three occasions. However, two of the
tosses were wide and as Neighbors. Ab
bott and Nill were the only Tigers to
hit the ball "where they were'nt," he
cannot be accused of weakness at the
bat at this stage.
