my back into it all the way up hill,
and the final run in seemed quite
easy and good by comparison. l felt
quite fresh at. the end. for l had

"Dorando, the Italian who has

it and say they are spending money
like water to strengthen" the
team. But are they? The fact
that Altman, whom they said was
ION his way" here, isn't on his
way at all, would indicate that we
are up against a "bunc" good and
proper. The sole object just now
seems to be to keep the fans
guessing week longer. when the
team goes on the road for the last
time.
The latest estimate on league
baseball receipts for the season in
Spokane is 100000, a record break
er for the coast.
The Recreation Co. has the
money. the season so far as Spo-
kane games are concerned is end

ROWAN HITS LIKE.
TRIP HAMMER

Aside from the consequences,
licking an umpire almost, and a
hand to "bat" fight between Seat
tie players and the crowd, the main
feature of the game between Spo-
kane and Seattle yesterday was the
terrific smuggling of Dave Rowan,
the first baseman whom Spokane
released. Rowan only got two hits,
but they were good for seven
bases, one a triple and the other
a home run. The big smash came
in Seattle's half of the ninth, and
here it was that RED" Ehret got
himself disliked by calling Rowan
safe at the plate when the crowd
thought he was out foot or so.
Ehret's work all week has been
a joke, but, for that matter, the
Indians playing has been little
more, so the crowd until yesterday
did not take Ehret's poor decisions
seriously. Rasty Wright had tied
up Seattle until the seventh inning,
when they scored one, another in
the eighth and two in the ninth.
He allowed nine hits.
Spokane scored in the first and
second, and after that Harry Rush
frightened up and there was moth
ing further doing on the tally
board
Score: Seattle 4, Spokane 2.
Saturday: Seattle IL, Spokane 6.
Seattle gets the series and Van
oouver begins tomorrow again for
another spasm.

Here is one of the great lessons
of baseball history, proved time
and again, yet a lesson which doz-
ems of managers of today cannot or
will not learn:
you can teach a natural hitter
to field. but you cannot teach a ma
tural fielder to hit"
Major and minor league mag
mates and. managers the country
over are signing phenomenal field
ers who hit from .225 to $50, hop
ing they may bat better in fast
company. .......
Foolish hope Such a thing does
not happen once in 100 instances.
But the great natural-bOrn hit
ters who have learned to field and
have become immensely valuable
baseball lore is full of their names.
There was Billy Hamilton,
Waterbury. Billy broke to get into
the game at Waterbury, Conn. He
was absolutely the worst fielder
that ever happened. He couldn't
catch "a batted ball, even when 1t
fell right into his hands.
The club owners, the fans and
everybody else wanted the man.
ager to send him away. But it SO
happened that Hamilton could hit
the ball 1t came as natural for
him to hit as it does for the aver
age ball player to eat at a $5-a-day
hotel on the road. Billy developed
into one of the greatest fielders of
his day.
Then there was old George Gore,
whose praises are still sung and

told in song and story. When he
started In to play down in New
Bedford, Conn, he couldn't catch a
tossed ball, but, oh, how he could
lsla the sphere to the fence! An
son saw him play and picked him
Iup. He was the laughing stock of
the Chicago fans for few weeks
So ludicrous were his fielding blum
ders-but when he had learned to
catch the ball and to Judge 1t and
go after 1t right, he was star, for
he always was hitter.
Old Jack Glasscock in his early
days could hit, but he couldn't
field a lick. Somebody in author
ity had sense enough to hang onto
him and everybody knows the rest.
He became the best shortstop in
the history Of the game.
FArlie Latham, marvellous infield-
Ter couldn't do anything but hit in
his younger days. Jess Burkett
couldn't field a lick when he broke
into fast company, but he could
hit like trip hammer. In a few
months he became one of the best
fielders in the land.
The sand lots and the minor
leagues are loaded down today with
men who are born hitters like
Wagner and Cobb, but who are
turned down by the major league
scouts because they are not Keel
ers or Doolins in the field.
The thing to do is to sign them.
Teaching them to field will be no
trick. In that way and in no 9th
err can a manager build up a
championship team.
