Householder and Donovan were not
allowed to play with Aberdeen, House
holder because the Pacific Coast League
thinks it has some claim for his services,
and Donovan because Burlington, Iowa,
has claim for him. With these two
fast men out of the game Aberdeen's
chances did not seem very bright, but

demonstrated that Brown is manager,
and has selected handy bunch of ball
players. 1t is hoped the trouble over
the services OF these two popular players
will be settled before Sunday. and that
they will be in the game again that day.
During the game, Terry McKune, Spo-
kane's fast little short stop, twisted his
knee and was ont OF the game. AS the
injury is an Old one, he may be out for
some time.
Yesterday the Lumbermcn again de-
featcd the Indians, 6 to ). Tonneson
pitched seven innings for Aberdeen and
held the visitors down to two runs, but
in the eighth three runs were made and
none out, so Mr.. Higginbotham was
called in from the left garden, which
position, by the way, he played like
veteran, and stopped the run getting.
As a result of this game Spokane will
lose the services of two valuable PLAYERS
for several days, Suess, left field, and
James, second base. The former was
hit on the jaw by pitched ball, and the
latter sprained his ankle running to first.
We were told last night that Joe Fav
and Schmeer, both fast intielders, would
be in the game today for the Indians.
