The game was the last of the first season. and 5,000 happy fans sat through the fray and thoroughly enjoyed every play. The gilt-edge exhibition, was a fitting climax to a season that has been a sue cess financially and to a aeriea that has been exceedingly Interesting.

Overall and Thlelman. was inviting and the Tana expected a' treat and were not disappointed. For eight exciting In nings not a run crossed the plate, al though things were dangerous on several occasions. As each Inning rolled away the .interest became more Intense, and when the ninth wss reached the greet crowd was thoroughly aroused to a high pitch . of enthusiasm. Both pitchers were doing their best,-and In-, tight pinches disposed of the heaviest batters. In the ninth Kagan started off with a double and got- as far aa -third with only one down, and after Thomas fanned the. air "Happy" Hogan put beauty over second and the big "Truck" can tered home with Tacoma's first and only tally. - ' V, The crowd 'stood up and yelled for a score. Shea was beseeched for a hit or any old thing, and was rewarded with a bae on 'balls. On a wild pitch Danny took a long chance and by a pretty slide reached thlrd,lThlelman . came Jtoth front promptly and lined out a safe on over necond an scored Shea: With -no one out Overall settled down and pre vented further scoring In this inning.' With the score I to 1, the 10th Inning was quickly passed and the 11th was 'in session. McLaughlin, the first up. hit safely and was promptly moved to sec ond on Eagan's sacrifice. On thia play Castro covered first and quietly hid the ball under his arm and walked over to his position aa Innocently as a child would sit at a noonday meal. Mc Laughlin, thinking that Thlelman had the ball, left the baae and took a short lead, when much-no hia surprise Castro pounced upon him like a . flash and tagged hint. Umpire Park Burst McDon ald said, "You are out by a block." and then the crowd went mad. Such yelling never heard before - on the- home grounds, and a routing cheer, went upl ior me ciever vacona-oaseman. a sec ond later Castro ggaln set the crowd wild when he caught Lynch's terrific drive Into right field. The fans saw by this time thst Port land couldn't lose. Shea was sn eaay out In the 11th. and Thlelman was on deck. Jake hit a slow one to Doyle, and beat It out by a beauti ful slide. . A daring chance gave Jake a stolen base, end then Nodeau flew out. McCreedte was called upon for a hit. and the 'Judge" replied by hitting safely to short center, and old Jake atarted for third like a flying Dutchman, and when he reached third he refused .to stop and dashed home snd msde a pretty slid un der Graham and waa declared-safe. Thlelman's performance was the -best ever witnessed to. this city. Ths crowd attested Its pleasure by applauding him for over live minutes after ths gams.
