The Spokane baseball tam celebrated
the return OF Midget Marshall 10 second
base by knocking out Dusdaie's klondikers
10 the tune Of s. yesterday afternoon at
the Athlete park. IN the presence CT two
hundred grown people and half SIS many
boys
Spokane deserved - win the game. Her
men taught the Seattle boys that i; does
no, pay 10 go 70 sleep on the bases.
Seattle gave a very stupid exhibition OK
base running 1t re<embled the verdanr
side hill that overlooks The park from
The east, Five OF the local men were left
on bases and in addition to this several OF
them were ret;-ed in manner that re-
fleets more on Their owa knowledge OF the
game than it Indicates great work on The
part OF the visitors.
Anderson. who pitched such fine game
the day before mado anything bat a fine
record at second. He managed 10 get out
of the game with only enc error charged
against him, but ne was very close ID
the danger lsae N the first inning when
Arneson hit fly TO 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 and acted as If ne was tired
out.
Corbett, the new right fielder, was ex-
pected 10 add materially to the strength
of the team. IL he has done 1t his record
fails to do him justice. In four games he
has made only two hts. On the bases
he has proved anything but fast.
Rush, d native son of Spokane. was IN
the box for the visitors. He pitched
pretty game and was wei supported es-
peciaiiy at critical times. Although the
score shows that Spokane had one more
fielding error than Seattle II is Well 20
note that three Of those errors id not
affect the score. Arneson fume!ed one
grognder and allowed another TO 20
through his legs, but Seattle did not take
advantage of the situation Darby dropped
a fly In left, but ne followed 1t up b..
throwing out a man al second.
Adams pitched good game for the
home team taking everything into CON-
siieration. bur through a Wild pitch and
hitting a man with a pitched ball contrib
uted 10 his Own defeat.
Page played a nice game at 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 ne marred his work by allow
ing himself 10 be caught off second when
there was a chance. at least. to make a
good gain or Spokane. Hartmann had an
OF day. In the fifth he allowed 4 fly
to go through his hands. which. If caught
would have retired Spokane with one
instead Of three runs. HIS error can be
excused, however. because he is d tireIess
worker.
Two double plays but no scores marked
the second inning. With Kelly on first
Belt pat up fly that Anderson caught
with one foot on second, completing the
double by 4 throw 20 FIRST. For Seattle
