The baseball outlook in Spokane Ia
gradually becoming easier to get a
line on. For some time past 1t has
been very hard matter for any of
the fans to really tell where they
pr tho team "were at" for the COM
ing season. But now all appears to
have settled down, the hazy look has
cleared from the horizon, Manager
Williams wears a continual smile and
the fanatics have once again COM
menced to fan with a vigor that has
al those electrical contrivances out

robins roost again there will be base
