A Three. Handed Row Ends in . 9k ull
Being Crushed.


A row between three men started in the
Fountain saloon, corner Jackson and
South Sixth streets, yesterday afternoon
about $50 O'Clock. which resulted in
Thomas Caporilii having his skull frac-
tured by an iron wedge in the hands Of
William Sirianni.
The two men named above and Frank
Sirianni were playing cards in the saloon
when . dispute arose over some point.
All got mad and. il is claimed. W liam
Siranni drew a knife and tried to stab
CaporiIli, who arose from his chair and ran
out of the room. The two brothers fol-
lowed him into ; fruit stand adjoining
the Fountain house and lis claimed that
William picked up . weight and struck
Capori!li on the forehead. The blow
knocked him down. crushed the skull, and
made i, necessary to remove him TO tho
hospital. Officer Henry Surry arrested
the two brothers and booked them At po-
lice headquarters for assault and battery.

THE AMATEUR BALL rossEKs.


League 60 BE Organised Next Sunday
Msroons Ready for Work.
The amateur ball players on the Sound
have gone to work in real earnest to or
ganize strong league. President George
Mantor, OF this city, has called q meeting
which will probably be held next Sunday.
The circuit that 10 being figured on IL
made up Of Tacoma, Seattle, Snohomish
and Beliingham bay. Puyallup, Olympia,
Ballard. Port Townsend and Everett are.
however, among the possibilities.
The Seattle Maroons are fully organised
and ready for the playing season to begin.
The team has the cream of the local tai.
ent in its ranks and expects to make a
great winning record this year. The
makeup will be - follows: Warner and
Helms. catchers: Simmons and Belondi.
pitchers; Huber, first base; Vaughan, Sec
ond base: 6hanahan. third base; Gamble.
shortstop; Norris. right field; McKenstry,
center field; battery player in left field.
Bobby Warner, whose work behind the
ut last season excited a great deal of
favorable comment, is showing up finely
Ia practice. He stops everything and
throws finely to bases. He 10 expected to
do the bulk of the backstopping.
shanahan, the new third baseman, who
comes from the Central League of Cali
iornia, is counted ~ q crackerjack by
those who have seen his work. His style
b very much like that of Charlie Irwin,
Who played third base for the Seattle team
the past two seasons.
Simmons and Belondi. the two pitchers,
are in fine trim and ought to do good work.
lnpractice thus far they find that pitch
Ing under the new rules is quite . bandi-
cap, and the men who have faced them
with the bat have done some pretty hard
hitting.

THIS WEEK DECIDES.
he Baseball Question Will Be
Settled.
neETINo OF MAoMATEs CALLED.


Another week has passed without the
BASEBALL cranks Of the Pacific Northwest
bsjng enlightened - to what class Of base
ball and how much Of Il they ere to have
this season. The delay has been due TO no
fault OF the men who are at the head OF the
undertaking to continue baseball in this
section. They have been hard ct work Ar
ranging their plan Of campaign for the
season. but have had their hands in
measure tied by the absence from Seattle
and the other cities interested Of certain
parties with whom there were business
entanglsments arising out OF the trans
actions of preceding seasons. Until these
things we're settled there could be no pub
lie announcement Of what the baseball
men proposed 70 do. They have expected
for several weeks past to arrange these
matters, but were unable TO do 20 on &C.
coun: Of the absentees. The cause Of de-
lay has at last been removed, and there
will undoubtedly b this week . settle
ment Of the baseball question. A call has
been issued to the trustees of the recently
organised Pacific Athletic Association for
meeting, which will b held some day
this week, probably IN Seattle.
The season will not open until the latter
part OF Aprl, no matter what KIND OF an
organisation il formed. There il yet am
pie time for the gathering of teams. In
fact most of the material for the team to
represent Seattle has already been se-
lscted BY the manager, who IL man who
has played here before and was very popu.
lar. Although neither Tacoma nor Port
land have advanced this far. the reports Of
the outlook in both places IRE very encour-
aging. and there can be no doubt Of the
ability of either town to furnish good sup
port for team properly handled. There
viii be abundant material for them to
choose from when they are ready to pick
their men. W. E. Rockwell, president Of
last years league, is daily in receipt Of lot
tiers from ball players of ability who ere
looking for berths at moderate salaries.
Under these conditions there will be little
difficulty in placing four good teams in the
field within three weeks' time.
