"Mr Waterbury was one of my
best officers" said Chief of Police

been always able to depend on him
ever since he came on the force
about two years ago, and his past
experience as an officer made him
a very valuable man to the Spokane

Peabody of Boston. The church
was crowded to its capacity, even
the galleries being filled.
Peabody's name was not men
toned, but the tone of the re-
marks indicated that the speak

trend of the talks made was to love
those that hate you and to return
good for evil, as preached by the
Man of Galilee.
In the testimonial talks one
woman told of having been cured
by prayer of tuberculosis and the
morphine habit after six doctors
had given her up to die.
A civil engineer related his cure
of cancer of the stomach through
the Christian Science belief. An
other man said that prayer and
mental cooperation had relieved
him of a case of blood poisoning
He said that he tried Christian
Science in the belief that if it die

harm. that after he got the right
faith he began to get better and is
now entirely well.

strongly appeals to him. The South
Central high school is up against
it for a next years captain, as the
constitution of the athletic asso-

DRINKERS HIT
WON GAME

The Indians tied another knot in
the tail of the Tigers yesterday af.
fernoon. Jack Killilay, who did the
twirling for the tribe. was in fine
form and pitched shutout ball
throughout the whole performance,
winning for Spokane by the score
of to 0.
The Indians were unable to
score until the fifth inning, when
Burnett made safe hit over sec
ond base. Spencer sacrificed and
Killilay struck out. Then Brinker
came to the bat and knocked a hot
one over first base, scoring Bur-
nett. Altman came to the bat and
iambasted a two base hit over sec
ond base. bringing in Brinker, and
here the scoring ended.
Drinkers hit, which won the
game for Spokane in the fifth in
ming, caused the sensation of the
game. The ball rolled right along
the first base line and some alleged
that it was a foul, but Umpire
brennan thought different.
The fact that the bleacherites
crowded into the diamond did not
excite brennan in the least, and al
though he was handed few choice
lemons and followed to the box
office by the angry mob, who pelt-
ed him with cushions, he refused
TO change his decision.
Saturdays game was won by
Spokane. Sscore: Spokane 6, Ia

were Holm and Spencer; Tacoma,
Hall and Conrad.

ming. Why? Because he has been
getting back at Jennings and the
Tigers ever since.
Remember when Claude Ross.
man blew up against the Athletics
last spring? Well, the reason for
the explosion was Ira Thomas. Dur.
ing his stay with the champions
Thomas learned all their strong
and weak points, and when he went
to the Athletics he naturally tipped
off the vulnerable spots to Mack.
And it was because Thomas
knew Rossman was poor thrower
that the Athletics planned to keep
big Claude throwing the ball as
much as possible AS result OF
that series, Rossman did his first
base playing on the bench for a
long time.
