How High a Tiger Can jump.

For the benefit Of the prospective
big game hunters a cores pendent
finally dispcses of the theory that a
tiger is unable to jump to any height
from all fours. He records that he
took refuge in a tree from a particu-
lar tiger The beaSt however, jumped
up to him, like an India rubber ball,
a good seven feet and it was only
by letting go with my right and ram
ming both barrels down his mouth
that dld not have very bad time of
it,
The moral evidently is that when
avoiding a tiger it is necessary to find
a tree with its lowest branch at least
16 feet from the ground.

WHERE'STHAT
PENNANT?

Vic Holm did the balloon stunt
at Portland yesterday afternoon In
the fifth inning. and allowed five
Colts to trot across the home plate.
1t was q bad day for the Indians,
every member of the tribe seemed
70 think that the time had arrived
for his summer vacation and was
taking a layoff. Score: Spokane
6, Portland 3.
The Indians were there with the
big stick also, landing two runs in
the fifth and three in the seventh,
but the Colts were not to be
denied and punching of their hits
at the critical moment saved the
day.
Portland's three runs in the sixth
clinched the game for the Colts.
In the fifth inning tie tribe got
busy. Brinker scored safe infield
hit after Holm had famed. Then
Altman knocked the sphere in the
right garden and scored a three
Dagger. The high fould OF Weed
was dropped by Fourier and then
Fred landed on Seaton for three
Dagger. Errors by the Colts allowed
Altman, Weed and James to fill
the bases and Nordyke's singles
brought in Altman, and Weed and
James managed to get home on
Jack Clyne's infield hit. Here the
fireworks stopped.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. g.
"Speck" they call him, and "Speck"
he is, as appearance goes, but he's
some smear when you place him on
the baseball map. Fred Hardness
is the way he signs his checks, but
the fans know him as just plain
"Speck" Hardness, the Portland
Coast League teams star pitcher,
who has been sold to the Cleve-
land American league team.
When Hardness makes his ap-
pearance in the big brush there
will be three things about him to
attract attention. The first will
be his remarkable collection of
freckles, from which he derives his
nickname. They range in size from
pinhead to a silver scent piece
and are of such a lovely bronze
that they would make Piute turn
green with envy. The second is
the great break ball that he dishes
up. 1t is the wierdest looking
thing that has ever been seen on a
Pacific Coast diamond. Hardness
is tall, powerful and possesses ire
mendous speed and when he let's
go of the spheroid it shoots toward
the batsmen with express speed.
1t comes on a dead line until with
in a few inches of the plate, when
it breaks
The third thing noticeable about
Hardness is his wonderful cool
ness. No matter, what the going,
he keeps his head and smiles. The
umpire may be giving him the
worst side of hole, or the opposi-
ton players may be barking their
heads off at him, "Speck" goes
along in the same old way, grin
