The Spokane baseball team celebrated
the return Of Midget Marshall 70 second
base by knocking ort Dugdale's kiondikers
to the tune Of So yesterday afternoon at
the Athlete park. in the presence Of two
hundred grown people and half as many
bays
Spokane deserved TO win the game. Her
men taught the Seattle boys that It does
not pay TO 60 10 sleep on the bases.
Seattle gave a very stupid exhibition Of
base running. II resenb.ed the verdant
side hill that oyeriooks the park from
the east. Five Of the local men were left
On bases and In addition 10 this several OF
them were retired in manner that re-
fleets more or Their own knowledge OF the
game than IL Indicates great work on the
part Of the visitors
Anderson, who pitched such fine game
the day before made anything but fine
record at second. He managed 10 get cut
of the game with only one error charged
against him, but ne was very close to
the danger line IN the first inning when
Arneson hit a fly 10 short right. As he
Was running with the ball he was excused
an error. Generally speaking. however.
there was something decidedly disappoint-
ing about his work. He was much slower
than usual ard acted as If he Was tired
out.
Corbett, the new right fielder. was ex-
pected to add materially to tae strength
OF the team. II he has done it his record
falls to do him justice. In four games he
has made only two hts. On the bases
he has proved anything but fast.
Rush, native son OF Spokane, was IN
the box for the visitors. He pitched a
pretty game ard was well supported es-
pecialiy al critical times. Although the
score shows that Spokane had one more
fielding error than Seattle II is well 10
note that three Of those errors did not
affect the score. Arneson fumbled one
grounier and allowed another 10 go
through his legs. but Seattle did not take
advantage of the situation. Darby dropped
a fy In left. but he followed il up by
throwing out a man al second.
Adams pitched a coed game Tor the
nome iedln,, tdA-hS every lilAs iisto IoH-
sideratiou. but through a wild pitch and
hitting man with a pitched bali contrib
uted 10 his own defeat.
Page played a nice game al short and
Dea stopped some hard ones at third. In
fact IL was a day when everything that
went in the direction Of third base had
wings. GaumnitZ made three nice catches
in left, but he Inarred his work by allow
ing himself 10 be caught off second when

good gain on Spokane. Hartmann had an
off day In the fifth he allowed a fly
TO 60 through his hands. which, IL caught
would have retired Spokane with one
instead Of three runs. HIS error can be
excused, however, because he is tire,ess
worker.
Two double plays but no scores marked
the second inning. With Kelly on first
Belt put UP a fly that Anderson caught
with one foot on second. completing the
double by a throw 10 first. For Seattle
Murphy hit mean one almost over third.
Sen,rler cuffer il but could not handle 1t in
time to get his man. It was not an error.
Rand gave Marshall a fly, and he shot IL
10 Rush. who covered first in time TO
catch Murphy mapping.
Neither side scored In the third. but
In the fourth Seattle tied the score. With
two men out Dea made a beautiful line
drive to left for one base, stole second and
went 10 third on a bad throw by Kelly.
Murphy improved his standing with the
cranks by getting in timely single TO
left field, scoring Dea- Then Murphy tried
to steal second and Kelly threw him cut
with a yard to spare.
SeaTtle's defeat came in the fifth inning.

allowed him TO reach second on a wild
pitch. Belt went out. Adams to Murphy.

left garden for "A base, scoring Kelly.
Rush WAS out at first on Adams assist.
Semper hit a fly between the home
plate and pitchers box. Hartmann allow
ed It 70 81 through his hands and Gay
frotted home. The importance Of this
error can be appreciated when ora figures
out that II Hartmann had caught the bah
the side would have been retired with one
run. Senper stole second. went TO third
on a passed bah and Scored on Anderson's
Tumble Of Marshalfs grounier. Darby
ended the agony by going out on a fly
