The only members OF the Seattle team who
did not "catch on after the close of the Pacific
Northwest League season were Billy Earle, Tom
Parrot and Mark Poihemus. Earle has gone
to Cincinnati, but is pretty apt to finish up
with some Eastern team. Parrott went to his
home at Portland at once, land Polhemus expects
TO spend the winter here.
A baseball players lot is q hard one, or, at
least, Bill Hassamer thinks ii is. He was re-
leased from the Los Angeles club week before
the first half of the championship season closed
aud thereby lost bonus that he was to receive
from the Los Angeles manager for the batting
average that no built up. He then knocked
around the league towns until he received an
offer from Seattle, and one week after he joined
the team the league collapsed.-San Francisco
Chronicle. However, Bills luck has not entirely
forsaken him. He has caught on at Helena and
is that much neaeer his home in St Louis than
he was before.
The Pacific Northwest players who took part
In all the games OF their teams during the sea-
son are Hatfield, of Seattle; Work. Cartwright
and Sipp. of Tacoma; Beard and MARI. of spo-
kane, and George. of Portland. Polhemus. al
though credited with one less game than the
number played by the teams to which he be-
ionged, really played In every game In when
opportunity presented. The shortage was due
To peculiar circumstance. The Seattle team
played on July morning game with Tacoma.
aud on its nexs visit there only played three
games, the morning game counting Is the fourth
OF the weeks series that came some time later
Polhemus left spokane and Joined Seattle just
In time to get only the three games. The rest of
the Seattle players had previously played five
games. while spoksn played but four on the
week of the Fourta of July. In the week that
Polhemus played three games with Seattle the
spokane players got in four games. Thus
polly lost one game without any fault of his
whatever.
