Seattle Baseball Team at Work "A
Game Next Sunday.


Manager Powell had the Seattle players az the
Madison street park practicing yesterday both
morning and afternoon In the outfeld here
and there were pools OF water, which kept the
feeders splsshing at great rate when running
for dies. With the exception OF q few muddy
hoilows the indeld was In very good condition

Joe Shea. although suffering considerably with

knocked down base hits by the dozen. Matt

The WORK of Charley Irwin at third. however,
was more closely watched than any of the play
eTs. The great need of q good man in that
position hiss been urgently felt, and there has
been more speculation upon the merits of the
man who should guard that corner of the dia-
mond than of any other player. The verdict of
the critical watchers was unanimous In its APP

nothing snowy about his work, ard he seems
anything but grand stand player, the business
like manner in which he went after balls hit in
his direction. and the regularity with which be
captured everything that he started for, set at
rest all questions raised to his ability. Not
only is his handling of ground balls sure, but
his throwing is rapid and accurate.
In the outfeld Powell, Newman and Hernon
were kept busy lodging mud puddles in their
chase after flies, but generally managed to cap
ture the ball. though frequently to the great
detriment Of the appearance of their uniforms.
