FANS HAVE FAITH
In bob" BROWN

Manager Bob" Brown has his
own way Of managing baseball
players. Just what the secret is
Bob can't explain, himself. It's
probably his personality. Here is
what Dutch" Altman says in clos
ing letter in which he protests
against going to Seattle:
Il don't want to 60 to Seattle,
and you know, Bob, I'll play my
head off for you" ..
That's the spirit which wins pen
nants. If Bob has about IA men
playing their heads off for him.
we can almost predict taking the
'09 pennant to a pole at the south.
west corner of Recreation park.
And it is going to take some
playing to land pennant this
year The team that lands it will
class up with the best Of them in
this western country. The league,
although baseball men will not adj
NIT it, is claimed by dyed-in-the.
wool fans to be 25 per cent faster
this year than last.

SUNDAY TO ENTER
RING WITH JEFF

When Billy Sunday goes to Los
Angeles to speak in Jim Jeffries'
fight pavilion it will be the first
appearance of the famous evangel-
list in the prize ring. He will be
the first man to enter the ring and
shake hands with the big cham
pion since his retirement several
years ago. At least one man, Jack
Johnson, would like to have Billy
Sundays opportunity-to enter the
ring and shake hands with the big
fellow, but under different circum-
stances.
Billy will go there to fight. But
he won't be after a fight for
pugilistic honors under ordinary
ring rules. Billy has rules of his
own, you know. He's going there
to fight the devil and If the devil
was Jeffries himself. Billy would
grid him about with bunch or
slang and tackle the horned person
from hades with every confidence
of winning.
Billy Sunday is badly wanted in
all the coast cities beset by the
devil, and they all are. He an
nounced yesterday that he has de-
cided to accommodate Los An
geles. Billy must think Los An
geles a particularly devilish place.
Judges of his work in Spokane
don't hesitate to say that his
upper cuts, short arm jolts, jabs,
swing and hooks will take some
of the fight out of Satan. Billy
will not hesitate to slip over a few
under the belt, either. Although
Jeffries has had some star crowds
at his fight shows they won't be a
circumstance to the crowds Billy
will draw.

1.-THE run counts"
"How's that?" the scorers
shouted in unison.
well, I didn't see it, and the
rules say when in doubt give the
decision ii the base runner" said
McLain.
And that one run won the game
for Pittsburg.
McLain's finish as a National
league umpire was pathetic. One
night, after wretched exhibition
in which his fast failing eyesignt
had led him into more mistakes
than had his inability to hear, he
visited the sporting editors by turn
in their offices.
BE as gentle as you can, boys"
he pleaded. Pm going to resign
tomorrow, and l don't want my
family to read any harsh things
about me in my last days on the
diamond"
The boys" promised not to men,
ton the umpiring at all the next
day. They kept their word and so
did Mclean.

FARMERS PROTECT
STARVING QUAIL

Farmers generally are humane
lot, and those around Spokane are
particularly so. Although it has
but recently come to public notice
that farmers have been caring for
the chilled and starving quail of
the section, the fact is that since
the extreme cold set in they have
been caring for the little farmers
friends and pest killers right along
without making any noise about
1t. And they do this every winter
Undoubtedly the few quail now
in this country would freeze were
it not for the farmers, who put out
bundles of wheat along the fences
and hedges for them. People COM
ing in from Moran prairie say that
the young quail can be seen along
the hedges there, feeding on wheat
bundles in no fear of molestation
from hunters.

LOS ANGELES TEAM
GREATLY OVERRATED

The highly touted Los Angeles
basketball team last night defeat
ed the S. A. A. C. "a to %, and its
showing, to say the least, was dis
appointing. This team has come
up the coast meeting and defeating
all corners. 1t was practically ad-
mitted it would overwhelm the
Spokane team by reason of the lat
ter's little opportunity to practice.
Johnny Bender began to coach
Spokane only about 10 days ago,
and in another 10 days he would
put the team in shape to make
Los Angeles hustle to win at all.
Gonzaga college will stack its
team up against the southerners
tonight, and it is expected the col
lege boys will make them travel a
swifter pace to win.

Umpire McLain was one of the
quaint figures on the diamond Is
or 20 years ago. He was ola,
wrinkled and almost bald, but he
kept his nerve splendidly until
deafness came upon him. Then he
lost heart, and often appealed to
the men in the press box to over
look his mistakes.
One day, in the fall of 1889, Nc
Lain was umpiring an exciting
game in Chicago. 1t was long be-
fore the days of the foul strike
rule, and so, when Pop" Anson's
bat just licked the bat and McLain
called it strike, there was
trouble.
THAT was a foul tip" snorted
Arson in anger.
Il didn't hear it," replied the UNI
pire. PLAY ball"
Up came another ball, and again
Anson's bat barely touched it.
1.-TWO Strikes said McLain, in
his funny little piping voice.
THAT was another foul tip"

victions Fitzpatrick stuck by his
protege, even when Johnson HIM
self was ready to give up because
no one would consider him seri-
ously.
When Burns fell heir to the soft
est championship" a heavyweight
ever inherited, Fitzpatrick began
the campaign which ended in Aus
tralia with Burns taking the loser 8
end. With Johnson In tow, Fitz
followed Burns to England and
later to Australia, accepting a
$4,000 purse, that he might place
his man upon the heavyweight
throne. He knew Johnson would
beat Burns and was willing to ac-
cept the small sum, for the sake OF
the glory and money that must fol,
low, as well as to prove that his
faith In his scrapper was not mis-
placed.

TRY TO SAVE THE
GAME BIRDS

The gradual extinction of game
birds is arousing eastern sports
men to such an extent that now it
is proposed to secure a govern
ment expert investigation for the
purpose of estimating just at what
rate birds are being destroyed, and
in some manner prevent the an
nual onslaughts.
Sportsmen will appeal to one an
other the country over. One of the
principal arguments will be that
game birds wage war on deadly
disease distributing insects. 1t will
also be shown that If the extermi-
nation of wild fowl continues at
the present rate it becomes only
question of time when hunting as
a sport will die out for lack of
live targets.

Although Jack Johnson is heavy
weight champion pugilist of the
world, credit is given Sam Fitz-
patrick as king maker. and upon
this jovial faced descendent OF
Irish kings falls the credit for the
fact that the Galveston negro is to-
day at the front of his class-the
first negro to hold the heavyweight
title.
II is some years since Fitzpatrick
began boosting the stock of John
son In sporting circles. When he
first tried to interest acquaintances
IN the fighting phenom he was
laughed at and his statement thar
johnson possessed championship
callbcr would not down. Johnson
has! never done anything to de-
serve Fitzpatrick's praise and no
one could see him.

yelled Pop"
Il didn't hear It," McLain re-
piled, meekly. PLAY ball."
The third foul tip tore its way
through the umpire's mask, cut
open his forehead and put him out
for the count. When cold water
brought McLain to his senses,
Pop" bent over him, and shaking
his bat in the arbitrator's face,
said: "And, sir, that was a foul
tip, too"
Yes said McLain, wiping the
blood from his forehead, Il heard
that one all right, all right"
Another day, in a game at Pitts
burg, Pirate player, making a
long slide to the plate, bumped into
McLain and knocked him down, bis
face buried deep in the dirt. In the
meantime, however, Chief thinner
had easily touched the runner out
and the latter had gone over to the
Pirates bench.

toward the press box and said,

BY ADDlE JOSS.

Jesse Hoffmeister, who once re-
ceived a trial with the Pittsburg
club, was at one time considered
one of the most promising young
players in the country. Jesse had
a great arm and was fine fielder
and strong hitter as well.
Hoffmeister played few games
for the Smoky city aggregation ana
set the fans wild with his fielding
and the way he shot them over
from third.
The Philadelphia team, then
managed by George Stallings, who
is now in charge of the Highland
ers, came along, and the rest of the
story is better told in Stallings'
own words:
"Our team at that time boosted
of some of the best hitters in the
country" Stallings told me, "anG
any time they were getting to the
pitcher, his infielders were having
the time Of their lives ducking the
drives and grounders.
1.-THE minute we landed in Pitts
burg we were told what a great
player Hoffmeister was, and nat
urally we were anxious to see him
at work.
"The game started, and right off
the reel our gang started to hit.
The first ball biffed at Hoffmeister
went by him like rifle shot and
before he knew what was happen
ing was on it's way to the outfield.
"Then started a bombardment
the like of which ] have never
seen. 1t seemed as though every
hard hit ball went straight down
the third base line. Not one
seemed to take true bound. and
this, coupled with the speed of the
slams, made that afternoon one
never to be forgotten by Hoff;
meister.
