Team Will
Be Strong This Year

and has decided to give Cooney show.
Spokane has Granville, swell little
fielder but light hitter to play short
and the infield will now probably line
up with Nordyke on first, Rockenfield
on second; Granville at short and
Cartright at third. That lineup
sounds pretty good, especially IL
Cartwright can play third again as he
Gid two years ago.

Corbett Was Game.


Jim Corbett was the agent of the
clever boxer but few Of the men who
took leaves from the Pompadours
book were abe to copy his style of in
ficting punishment. Gentleman Jim
wasn't a one-sided boxer; he gave just
as much punishment as he lodged or
blocked. His grudge fights with
Choynski proved Jim Corbett absolutely
game when in the ring, and in the
barge battle he showed what terrific
punishment a man could infiict with
a we'll directed left jab.
Nowadays it is a common thing for
two men to fight 20 rounds without a
Touchdown or a black eye. A draw
decision is the commonest decision
known The different type of fighter
and the difference in the rules under
which he fights are responsible for
this.

AS Seattle has most of last years
champions under reserve, this town
will have a strong team. Spokane is
sure to- have a fighting aggregation
and from the looks of things Bob
Browns Vancouver bunch will have
something to say about where that
pennant goes Cliff Blankenship has
enough men already lined up to
insure Tacoma a much better team
than the one that finished in the cell
lar last year.
Another prospect blighted. Tealey
Raymond Seattle's handsome short
stop who is spending the winter play
ing baseball for coffee and sinkers
down in the Imperial valley, wrote
Dugdale a short time ago that he had
found swell young first baseman in
lad named Bath. Dug Immediately
told Tealey to sign him. Now Tealey
takes his lead pencil in hand to say
that he is afraid Bath will not do. The
reason is that Tealey saw Bath hit
against lefthanded pitcher after
writing his first letter and Bath did
not even get up a foul. Bath is left
handed hitter who is helpless against
a left handed pitcher. Tealey says he
will watch Bath some more, and if
he finds he cannot hit the sOuthpaws
he will not have him report to Seat
tie. Tealey says Bath can clout the
right handlers to kingdom and that he

Once in awhile there came along a
wonderful boxer, who used his science
to make openings for the delivery Of
bloWs,~ and these men had hundreds
of imitators, most of whom had no idea
but to use cleverness in evading pun
ishment. 1t wasn't so in the old days

BUNDLE HURT
!, IN A RUNAWAY

Charles W. Rundle, one of the best
known of the rural route mail car
yiers, was quite seriously injured in
a runaway accident late yesterday af-
ternoon on Nam street, at a point
between Fourth and Fifth. He was
returning to the postoffice from his
regular country trip when near the
corner of Fifth and Main one of the
Shafts became unfastened and strik-

animal that the latter started to run
at terrific rate. The horse struck

over with the driver inside, and the
horse, with part of the running gear
attached. kept on down the street.
mr.. Rumble was quickly given assist
ance by many men and was removed
to a physicians office where his in
lries were given attention. 1t was
fonnd that one rib was fractured, his
face was badly cut and many minor

body Mr.. Rundle was removed to
his home and will not be able to be
Cut for some days.
The contents of the mail wagon
were scattered in every direction.
That Mr.. Rumble escaped without

the nature of the accident and the
fact that he had no chance to get out

VOLCANIC DUST CAUSES HAZE
Ispecial 10 The sentinel. !

Chicago, March 31.-Nor clouds
nor smoke, but volcano dust-that is
what is causing the "Autumnal haze"
that has spread over Chicago in the
last few days.
Volcano dust is something in the
way of novelty in Chicago. which is.
happily, remote from all active era
ters, and the present supply which
permeates the upper atmosphere
came a long way-from Southern
Mexico and Central America. where
recently there was volcanic upheavals
of great force.
The northward flight of the dust
was first noted recently at New Or
leans, where the resultant darkness
was so marked that chickens went to
roost at midday.

The frost of Monday night and last
night in the East Mill Creek and the
Cottonwood districts resulted in an
estimated loss in the cherry crop of
about 75 per cent. The thermometer
in several districts of the state went
down to rs and 80 degrees for a short
time during the night.
J. NJ. Fisher of East Mill Creek said
last night that considerable damage
had been done to the sweet-cherry
crop in that district.
at is not at all unlikely that three
fourths of the cherry blossoms are
nipped by the frost already" said Mr..
Fisher. MANY of the fruit growers
of this section of the county had made
arrangements to use oil smudgers
during the present season, but the
early frost caught them unprepared.
The smudgers that had been ordered
were due to arrive about April 1. and
it was thought that this would be in
plenty of time to safeguard against
frosts. The early appearance of frost
certainly caught the fruit growers
off their guard and means the loss
of thousands of dollars to them dur
ing the present season. Salt Lake

While hoping for the best do a little hustling for it.
 Some men are never more dry than on wet day.
 It requires more weakness than strength to break a promise.
 Some lawyers fight for the right and others fight for the wrong.
 Apparently all the use some women have for heads is to hang a bat on.
 Either success or failure comes to those who stray from the beaten path.
 Many a man is so stingy that he won't even tell a joke at his own expense.
 The less important thing is the more fuss the average woman makes over it.
 After a man learns how to hyp notize his conscience it doesn't give him very much trouble.
 It isn't difficult to convince some married men that it is better to have loved and lost than to have loved and won.
 There are more brain calms than brainstorms.
 Investigating committees have no terrors for honest men.
 There's no place like home, even if it is homely place.
 Happy is the rounder who has no wife to square himself with.
 A faint heart is considered an easy mark by the up-to-date girl
 Half million in cold cash makes fat widow nice and plump.
 We feel sorry for the man who thinks that everybody else is dis honest.
 Nearly every girl thinks it is up to her to resist a kiss she really wants.
 Honest now, haven't you written a lot of letters that you wish you hadn't posted?

The aggregate of such with drawals, now reaches over Fl 1,000,- GOO acres. This means that the enormous area in question is to be preserved by the government for disposition in the future and that it is not to fall into the hands of grasping monopolists, says Troy Times.
