Baseball Notes.

anoksne administered the fourth consecutive
defeat to the home team yesterday afternoon.
II was ladies' day and the boys were bound 70
yin but fate was against them, and what looked
Ike sure victory was turned into crushing
defesf For four innings Seattle put up splen-
ala ball and blanked spokane, much to the de-
l,rtt OF the cranks, who were there in their same
az seats, Notwithstanding their frequent threats
% the contrary. The Spokane club is
vesv peculiar crowd, who do not know when
~ are beaten. Yesterday gave splendid IL
tm<ration of this fact. Powell and his men
\ vre out 70 win, and Camp was in the box. The
se1Rs was 70 0 In favor OF Seattle at the begin
1lug Of the fifth, but this did not worry John
psrnes' Indians Bit They coached just a.
lively and played with as much life as II they
vers four runs ahead, instead Of Seattle being
Il that happy condition. After the fifth was
0ded, Seattle was just where the pessimists had
ssiEned her before the game II was Waterloo
md no mistake. 'sEid" Camp, the star pitcher,
rs knocked out of the box, and seven runs
we're registered to Spokane's credit. Five sin
lies, q base on balls, a wild pitch and Stencils
home run over the left field fence were the
chapters in the tale of woe.
Seattle did not lose through glaring errors II
vas plain and simple knock out story, brought
about By most effective use OF the wagon
tongue Huston was in the box for Spokane
and for dead-arm pitcher showed himself
good one. Twelve hits were secured of Jack,
one Of which was q close call TO an error by
Klopf but five Of them were not factors in the
runs scored. Huston used fine Judgment, kept
the hits scattered, and when the bases were full
IN the seventh, caused Irwin to pop up foul
ny which Stencil took with ease. CrowelI who
took Camps place in the sixth was not treated
with any more respect than his predecessor
Bases on balls, combined with hard hitting,
made II easy for Spokane to score runs in the
axth and eighth.
Notwithstanding the crushing defeat there
we're many fine features, some of which were
truly phenomenal For Seattle Newman made
acIrcus play, running, high-jump catch of
Klopfs long line drive to deep center. This pre-
vented two runs from scoring, and called forth
uustnted applause. Powell did his usual base
running and scored three runs. thinner caught
superb game, stopping wild pitches, eating
ground scrapers and playing tha game for all il
vas worth. For Spokane Mannasssu made a
yonderful one-hand catch of Crowells line hit
% center field. Itwould be hard to tell which
was the better catch. Newmau's or Mannassau's.
Both Mutton and Klopf did fine work at third
and short respectively, spelling several hits.
Jack Hayes made q fine hand catch Of q line
drive from Newman's bat
The batting of both teams was heavy, but the
differences lay In the point that Spokane
punched six hits in the fifth, three in the sixth
and three again in the eighth, while the home
team had five hits which were OF no real value.
In the second and eighth innings the hits were
brought in when most needed, also was
schceneck's hit in the first inning. Hernon was
pre-eminent at the bat, securing a single, q
double and n tnree-bagger. He also reached frs,
twice on balls. Irwin came in with q very pretty
two-bagger in the second, and Shea sent in q
run in the eighth by . nice single. For Spokane
Stencil did very telling work, and drove one
over the LETT field fence for q home run jus,
when the audience didn't want to see it. Null
ton, Turner and Polhemus each got in their two
hits. In fact, every man on the Spokane team
came up to the plate aud 'lined her OUT when
called upon TO do service.
The game did not commence At o'clock from
the fact that Umpire Strothers did not show up.
1t wss fully q half-hour late before play was
called with Hsrnon ut the plate. Tommy made
q pretty single, but was caught stealing second.
Powell went to first on balls, was sacrificed to
