Foothridee on Rock Street.

A footbridge is being built across the
South Palouse river on Rock street, next
to the New Ridgeway theater. The work
is being done by citizens living on the
west side, the city furnishing the mate
meeting of the city council. After it's
completion the citizens asking for the
bridge living on the west side will prob
ably boycott the south end structure, as
time and distance in this busy age is a
factor in lOcOmotiOn. The bridge would
look more permanent if it spanned the
entire bed OF the stream, instead OF rest
ing on piers in mid stream, as high water
must be reckoned with betimes.

Wall Street Bridge Repaired i.

The bridge crossing the South Palouse
river on Wall street. after being closed
to teams for over year, is open to traf-
fic. 1t has undergone complete over
hauling, J. r Butcher doing the work,
and is considered safe for vehicles. This
will be great convenience to those hav-
ing occasion to use it for teams, as dur
ing the time it has been closed they have
been compelled to seek the line OF resi-
dences on che west side by a roundabout
way not always conducive to the haul
ing of goods and groceries with facility.
1t has been in use all the time, however,
as footbridge.

Clarke remarked:
Lets be going. I'll bet Dreyfus will

Clarkes faith in Dreyfus proved to he
justified. A few minutes later the train

Here is what Cy Rigler. the National

There are great players and great
players, but Iris Speaker Of the Bos-
ton Americans is the daddy OF them all.
Speaker played the most wonderful bal
any player ever did in a short series: His
batting was wellnigh perfect aA1 his
fielding and throwing remarkable. He
just about won the series for Boston all

Harry Towers was one of the leading
promoters OF the game during the latter
part of the Cos and the early COS, and
while promoting the game he was also
one of the best amateur players. He
was the organizer of the old Atlantic
team i'm 1858. a team that graduated many
of its players into the ranks OF the sen
Tors of that period-Nationals. OlyInpics
and Jeffersons.
He was a good general all-around ball

bad muff. 1t took minute Tor the play

second and third, two runs to the good

landers were still confident. Bailey was
not to be denied and drove the ball on n
line to right for three bases. evening up
the score. Had he not stumbled in round
ing first he would have broken up the
game.
New York failed to score in the last
half and the game was called on account
of darkness with the tally Tie. Inc
There is sequel to the story that Is
worth while. On the strength of that
three-sacker Bailey was thrice sent to
the bat in pinch In the remaining
games of the series and each time he
whitfield.
Addie JOSS. the crack pitcher Of the
Cleveland team. was the victim of a
funny freak Of the game in the final
series between Cleveland and Detroit at
the latter place.
In about the sixth inning of the third
game Joss met fast one straight on
the nose and drove it to the far corner
of the Detroit park. Despite some fast
in relaying the ball back to the intield
Joss easily turned the drive into home
run.
The home run put the Maps I'm the

couple Of men on the bases Evidently
Joss had an inkling of the humorous fate
that awaited him, for as he walked fo
the bench at the end of the eighth IN
ming he remarked to me:
IT suppose IL happen to come up I'm a
pinch they will take the home run slug
ger out to let a pinch hitter try his luck.
The very situation came up and, sure

retired the side on a line drive to Cobb.
Now, Addie will never lead the league
in hitting and the play to take him out
was decidedly unique, and Joss will al
ways get a lot of fun telling how home
run hitter was taken out to let real
slugger take crack at the ball.
Apropos of Bill Donovan's reversal OF
form in the worlds series was the show
ing Walter johnson made against the
Athletics on successive days late in Sep
TENDER.
The first day Johnson worked against
the Athletics he was batted out of the
box i'm six innings. He appeared to have
everything. but the Athletics seemed able
to solve his assortment Strangely enough
the only run Washington scored that day
was a home run drive over the left field
fence by Johnson, who is anything but
hard hitter.
Imagine what a surprise the Athletics
received when on the following day John.
son was again announced as the pitcher
Johnson appeared to have no more stuff
than on the day previous. yet the Ath-
letics were at his mercy. he winning
to q twelve-inning victory.
Thus i'm a single day Walter Johnson
one of the games best twirlers; showed
an entire reversal of form.
Truly. base ball is a funny old game
You can never tell.
