Giles. but bowed slightly: and Giles

COYOTES" EASILY
 DEFEAT THE ELks
They Made So Many Runs That Every
 body Lost Track of Them.

The first baseball game of the sea- son for the Coyotes was played yes terdav morning at Eastlake park. The high school boys won from the EIks by score variously estimated at 20 to down 10 9 to ,. The reports of the result varied as widely as pre- election estimates in a doubtful dis trict. Manager Pishon of the Elks concluded" that the Coyotes won the game all right. but his estimate of the number of runs they got was the smallest of any.
 Whatever the official figures may be when the returns are all in. there is no doubt that the Coyotes hit the Elks pitcher. M"ers. awful hard and went sailing around the diamond many, many times in a sort of merry-g go- round that was fine exercise for the high school boys legs. The Elks were at a disadvantage as some of the players on whom they had depended. did not appear at the grounds. so that they had to make requisition on the high school to fill the vacancies. Smith of the high school caught for the Elks and Hurley played third base.
 Hahn started the game for the Coy otes. He pitched few innings just to get his hand in and then gave place to Williams. who wanted some prac- ticc. He got 1t. Williams pitched an out curve that fooled them all. The curve cut over the plate and even Abe Nicholson. who is used to curve cuts. couldn't wrap it up. But he wasn't the only on. .,
 The game was poorly attended prob ably on account of the bronco busting exhibition that was given at the same place in the afternoon.

QUAIL PLENTIFUL AS sPARRows Pest st Seattle. Where They Ruin
 Gardens and Destroy Grain

The spectavle of the biggest city of Washington organizing q municipal quail hunt may soon be seen here. Re- markable as it may seem. Seattle is so overrtin with these game birds that they are becoming pest. are running gardens and are making serious en- croaclIments on grain supplies in the city
 This state \of affairs has been brotight to pass by the law that pro- hibits the use of firearms in the city and the jaw of nature. that one pair of quail if left alone will produce HOO quail in three years.
 Quail native to Kinnear Park and the unoccupied lands along the shores of. Lakes Washington and Union have multiplied with their usual fecundity ever since Seattle has been on the map. and have gradually become to accustomed to the noise and activity of the city. Finding themselves un- harmed even by the small boy with the slingshot. tho birds have become as pIrrtiful as sparrows and coveys are to he found at all times of the day, scattered all over the city from the residence portion to waterfront docks.
 Early trolley cars stir them as they feed. and each time the whir of their wings sounds commuters swear softly and think of the seeds they have planted and which have failed to come up-mereiy because the quail have been there first
 The subject is now being taken up unofficially by the residents of the outlying portions of the city and an effort to have the city council provide some means of ridding Seattle of itE game bird nuisance. Seattle Letter.
