Spokane could not stand up against yes
tercay afternoon At Madison Street park
Eight 10 two was the score. and had it
not bean for wild pitch al the wrong
moment the visitors would have been
cut of with a solitary J.
Adams was in fine form. having great
ment OF curves He was fortunate in
making Spokane hit the ball up in the
air or into his own territory. Adams
handled six ground balls himself, most
OF which were not hit squareIy. If Spo-
kane had been able 10 drive hot g-ounders
TO short and second they would surely
have scored frequently. because the player
does not live who can figure on the Jumps
and shoots bali will take on the Maai-
son street grounds. Dea managed 10
handle four grounders without an error.
but he fumbIed once and. with the chances
against him, shot the bail at Dugdaie AS
If he intended to knock him off the base
How Dugdale got his ;nitt on the ball and
held IL was a mystery To the crowd.
1t might be said in passing that Dug
dale played great first base. 1t was
like throwing the ball into a bushei basket.
No matter where 1t came. fast or Slow
high or low. he was there and ready for
more. Anderson ate up all the flies that
came within bombarding distance aad
as luck would have ii. got just one chance
To show what he could do on ground balls
One came bohbing along we'll up to first
base and Anderson reached IL, slipped
and went down on his stomach. Just
when the crowd thought the runner was
safe Anderson grabbed the ball and. lying
fiat on the ground, tossed IL TO first in
time TO retire the runner.
The fans were divided as TO whether
Coraett or Tom PARROT deserved credit
for making the most phenomenal catch
of the game. 1t was in the fourth inning
that Corbett got in his work. Pace was
on second base and Parrot on first. Ryan
hit a fly ball over first, close to the foul
line. II looked good for hit. but Cor
bett went after it, and, while running at
full speed. slapped his left hand under
the ball about two feet from the ground
and actually held it. Parrot, supposing
that the hit was safe. started for second
and before he could get back the ball was
there ahead of him.
Parrott performed his great feat In the
last OF the fourth. With one out and
one man at second Corbett put UP high
foul fly that curved over toward the right
field bleachers Parrot went after 1t
from the pitchers box. 1t was "a great
race. and when he just managed To reach
the ball with his fingers and hold ii. not
ten feet from the boards. the crowd gave
him as good hand as IL he belonged 10
tho home team.
The Spokane team was subjected to
great shake-up in the first inning.
Whether it was beneficial Is hard 10 tell
Before the game Darby had a fly ball
strike the end of the little finger of his
right hand. moment later Il small boy
remarked. "Darby's finger has been torn
on and indeed 1t looked so. The hand
was split down from the base of the finger
an inch or more In sort of half circle
Darby managed TO wiggle the injured
digit and remarked. with a mournfui
smile, We'll, IL is not broken after ALL"
He went back 10 town and was attended
by physician. He expects To be back
in the game in ten days. Rush took
Darby's place in right. while Ryan started

and Hartmann followed with hits. and
then there was a consultation among the
Spokane players.
The result was seen when Parrot went
into the box, Ryan 20 right. Rush TO third
and Marshall to second. Parrot did rot
fare any better than Ryan. Rand hit
for one in the second, and then Anderson
drove the second ball pitched as clean as
