Clabby lost his first fight this

When the referee gave the deci-

GRAVES PEOPLE:
PLAY OCTOPUS

The grasping policy of the Trac-
ton Co. may result in Spokane
losing the big game scheduled for
this city October 30 between the
University of Washington and the
University of Idaho football teams.
When Graduate. Manager Zendick
attempted to secure the grounds at
Recreation park for the contest
yesterday he was calmly informed
that he could have them provided
the company was paid 10 per cent
of the gross receipts.
This looked like a holdup to Zen
dick, who knew that in the past the
owners of the ground had per-
mitted the games at the park with
out making any charge. The car
fare from the crowds had been &C
copied by the Traction company as
ample remuneration. The matter
was taken up with the chamber of
commerce. and that body was in
formed that the Traction Co has
decided to levy the 10 per cent
assessment for it's grounds. This
will probably mean that the ath-
letes of the city will have to seek
other fields for their games, as the
40 per cent will cut materially into
the revenues and many Of the con-
tests would prove dead losses.
After hearing the policy as
stated by Charles Wolf Of the Trac-
lion Co, Manager Zendick express
ed the opinion that the game would
have to be played in Moscow, as
The holdup was too strong. He left
Cor Seattle last night without set

AGREED ONLY
ON JOHN |,

John L. ends his sparring en-
gagement with Kilrain at the Pan
tages tonight. Here is something
from the big fellows immense
store of "reminiscences:

MED by any sport who has been
wise for the last quarter of a cen

Jesse Burket, who for the past
few seasons has been the owner
and manager of the Worcester,
Mass, team in the New England
league, is a player wise to every
trick of the game. Still he had a
real one pulled off on him when he
took charge of his club.
1t seems Burket has a habit Of
always being ready to help the Op-
posing catcher put on his protector
or mask, in case either article is
out of place, and it was through
this that the play was pulled off
on the ex-major Lacquer.
The opposing battery, made up
of a pair of youngsters, framed up
the play and arranged to use it the
first time the opportunity present
ed itself. On Burkets first trip
to the plate the finger, who was
adept at the quick return delivery,
managed to get a strike on Jesse.
The next ball pitched Burket hit
foul, making two strikes. AS the
ball was returned to the pitcher
the backstop, according to previ-
Gus instructions, took off his mask
as though there was something
the matter with it, and stepping a
few feet to one side. commenced
to tug and pull at the strap as
though trying to get it fixed.
'Burket, never dreaming what
was coming off, took his bat off his
shoulder and still standing in the
batters box, watched the backstop
trying to fix the mask.
The twirler. who was just wait
ing for this move, stepped on the
rubber and without waiting for the
catcher to get in his position,
whipped the ball over the plate
The catcher jumped back into his
position and caught the ball. which
his jumps" called a strike. Burket
was caught flat-footed and could
DO nothing but walk back to the
bench. But what he said needs no
stretch of the imagination to con
ct;ve.

Ed Walsh, the Chicago club spit

for the season of 1909. And instead
of taking sides against him, the

wonderful work, and he is entitled

he does not get the cash now he
