Have you noticed every year
how young ball players go from
smaller leagues to larger ones
upon their regulations as demon
hitters, only to be sent back to
slower company month or So
after the season opens?
1t happens in every league every
spring. Blooming phenoms, boys
who fairly blazed a path of fire
through the league they go from

grees faster.
They go along for short time.

with monotonous regularity, then
not so frequently and by and by
the safe ones are few and far be-

back
Well, there's just one reason for
this--the pitchers get onto the
bloomer. Knowing nothing at all
about him when he breaks In, the
pitchers go 1t blindly and hand the
ball to him just where he likes it,
time and again. Consequently he
gets hits.
About the time the clubs have
swung around the circuit once the
pitchers have discovered the re-
cruit's weakness and they play him
with skill born of experience.
Pitchers hang together like a
bunch of grapes. They confide to
each other the strength and weak.

turn tip off the hurlers on other
teams, SO it Is no wonder the poor

LUCAS AND HIS MAN FL YNN

Lucas, head of the Northwestern
league, draws "a comfortable rake
down from the money the fans
pay to see the games. 1t doesn't
look reasonable that this makes
Lucas sort of potentate, free and
Independent of the baseball pub
lies favor, but such seems to be
the case. It develops in Lucas
genius for .saddling on the league
each year at least one umpire
whose very presence on the dia-
mond is an aggravation. Last year
1t wss Ehret. This year it is a still
more peculiar specimen OF the
cGgnomen of Flynn. The most
Charitable view of these infections
is that they are relatives of Lucas
that he has to take care of. Posi-
bly, that is one important function
of the league. ~
In every city on the circuit dis
satisfaction and trouble has arisen
and the game has suffered CORE
spoisdingly whenever Flynn Of
ficiated. Fans everywhere have
lessened their chances of eternal
bliss terribly in remarking on
Flynn, and managers and players
generally have appealed to Lucas
for something that at least seems
like an umpire. In response Lucas
wires that he has no thought of
parting with Flynn. AS Lucas, of
course, has life hold on the
league, this means that the Flynns
and their like will endure forever
unless the fans should take a
notion that a ball game without an
umpire is not worth seeing.
Nothing could make an umpire
out of Flynn. His very back
flaunts an insult to the grandstand
as he hovers about the plate.
When he happens to be in the dia-
mond the sight Of his face is even
more distressing. 1t somehow sug-
gests a comic valentine-the sort
of thing you instinctively want to
heave something at before 1t opens
its mouth. The spectacle of him
operating in his rattle headed, lost
dog fashion is penalty most i'm
properly attached to the game of
ball.
Flynn's decision at the plate yes
terday on which the game was pro-
tested was not his worst offense
of the day. His notions of balls
and strikes rides nifty pitching
like a harrow on toad. Hall was
doing some of the prettiest head
work you are likely to see. cutting
corners in pinches yesterday, but
1T was thrown away. The wise old
boys face puckered like a dried
apple at times, but stood the gaff.

of the league. Killilay got his dose

GOOD BASEBALL
ANYHOW

1t was bad medicine for the fans
who turned out yesterday to well
come the Indians home again.
There isn't SO much grief coming
over the loss by a 80 score, for
the game was fast and clean SO
far as the. playing was concerned.
1t was baseball with an edge to
it-but Flynn was among those
present. That's about all neces-
sary to be said.
All there was to it in the scoring
line happened in the seventh when
Scharnweber uncorked a single
and Flynn gave Mahon a base on
balls, although he tried to bunt. A
sacrifice by Quigley and a nasty
drive from Swain that Weed didn' t
get back to the plate in time open
ed the door from third home, and
then Kennedy dropped one over to
Stevens in right. That. of course,
meant another run on Stevens
throw. Brooks developed the final
score with a single.
Weed led off with a single, James
walked to first and Clynes came
up with hit that scored Weed.
James followed on a bad throw of
Stevens bunt. Burnett put a sac
rifice fly into left, but Davis heaved
the ball home in time to catch
Clynes, and Jack is not slow either.
Stevens ought to take notes on
that kind Of pegging. Dutch Alt
man came up desperate, got around
to third and ran in on Halls wind
up that shot the ball into Weeds
ribs. Altman was sent back to
third, as he should have been, but
Weed, with two strikes on him,
was refused his base. He died at
home. Had he gone to first James
would have been up, fresh and
vicious. Protest was entered on
keeping Weed at the bat after he
was hit. 1t may have been that
Weed was intent on interference to
let Altman in, but 1t didn't look
that way from the press box.

There Is youth of 10 summers,
who Is playing fast baseball in the
Northwest league. He is young
ster whom President Dugdale pick
ed up from the Central association,
from which he was drafted by
Portland. His name Is Jack Ma
gee. and he made big hit when
Seattle played in Spokane.
Portland didn't want him, so Sc
attic took him on.
Magee got his start in baseball
by cayorting about the diamond
with the Cincinnati Reds. with
which he was tried out in mum
Der OF exhibition games. The
company then was too fast for
him. so Magee went with Waterloo
in the Central league.
When Mike Donlin. the former
center fielder of the Giants. was
inI. e he predicted that II Ma
sd kept up his showing at first
and continued his work with the
slapstick he was destined for big
things, Donlin said he was going
to write "Muggsy" McGraw tip
to keep his eye on the youngster.

COLTS WERE FRISKY

Ever see Mike Lynch, the Seat
tie Turks manager from Erin's
land. dance a slab? He did it and
his team was defeated by score
Of 3 to 2 by Casey's Colts.
Seaton started out with about
the most liberal Offering of free
hits put out by the Seattle team.
BY the end of the second inning
the Colts had cantered in with five
runs, then Lynch relieved him.
Portland took a total of Is hits
of Seaton and Lynch without play
ing half fast. Samuels, formerly
with the Tacoma team, pitched for
Portland and held Seattle down to
six hits. Mullin, Portland's first
baseman, broke his ankle sliding
to second.

AN AWFUL SWATFEST

Though they were shut out for
five innings without a run, the Ii
gers scored 10 in the end and even
at that were beaten by Aberdeen
The score was IL to 10 in favor
of the Black Cats.
Most. who pitched the first five
innings, saved the bacon for the
Cats, for with the heavy hitting
mania that mastered the Tigers in
the end it is safe bet that Alb
erdeen's IL runs would have been
insufficient with an easy pitcher
to start with.
Pernoll. Moore and Most were
in the box for the Black Cats. and
Claflin, Berger and 4Iurd twirled
for the loosers. All this happened
in nine innings at Tacoma.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-06-16

of the same thing, and being young
and ambitious, Jack had to quit
and go to bed. Gregg went in and
he, through Flynn, achieved the
distinction of getting a swift shoot
called ball that the batter tried
to bunt. The base umpiring ran
about the same level, and Nordyke
on the bench went to the edge of
appoplexy several times. The In
dams had their hands on their
hatchets half the time.
There was one fly in the oint-
ment of an otherwise beautiful
game-the Lucas fly, Flynn.
There's no prospect of Lucas ac-
.cepting the protest made yester-
day, any more than there is an ex-
cuse for his sending Flynn over
here after the outbreak at Aber-
deem, or sending him anywhere
else. except into retirement
