was accepted with the result stated.

First Time This season.


First Time This season.

Seattle and Spokane baseball teams viii be pitted
together at the Madison street park for the first
time this season.

having broken even with the strong Portland
team on the latters own stamping ground

Among the stars that viii appear in the ranks Of
the champions are big Tom Turner. who led the
eague last year in long distance hitting: Mark

yerages; Manassau. Who had more stolen bases

the league. and the weIl-known catcher. Jake
Stenzei, who in . veritabie slugger at the bat
At third base IL the popular Patsy Fiaherty. Of
last years Seattles, and at short field George
Mutton, one Of the crack infelders of the Gen.
trail Interstate League.
Al Lawson, whom Seattle not long since
thought would be member of her pitching
staf, wiz probably do the box work for the Wis
itors, and viii no doubt Guido himself to defest
the local team. If his record of the past winter,
made in exhibition games in Florida, is worth
anything, he is apt to bring some of the sluggers
of this league to grief. In q game few weeks
since at Jacksonville, Fla. he allowed the hard
hitting Cleveland League team but ave hits. He
has Just been awarded TO Spokane, and today
will be histirst game of the season.
Rathourn, the third baseman from the Michi-
gan State League. made such poor showing in
the games at Portland that Barnes has given
him his release. The releases of Sam Smith and
