GOOD PITCHING

In two hot games, that opened
the City league season at Natator-
ium park yesterday afternoon, Spo-
kane baseball fans saw some good
work that gave them a bunch that
the City league has some pretty
lively players involved in the race
for the pennant this year. In the
first game, which opened at 2:15
O'Clock, the Brownies defeated
Harry Campbell's Gold Coin team
by score Of Z to 4, and in the
second the Hazelwoods trimmed up
the Varney-Somers to the tune of
10 to 3. Luck seemed against the
Varneys, for their errors stopped at
the 10 mark. Hazlewoods played
an exceptionally clean game, hav-
Ing made but two errors.
Navarro of the Brownies pitched
good game, the opponents being
able to find him safely six times.
Likewise Shriver, the Hazelwood
slabster, made an excellent show
ing as well, he having allowed the
Varneys to get away wit but three
hits.
Nearly 1000 people turned out to
see these opening games. despite
the threatening weather conditions.

games by innings:

Work.

Stick work of the Spokane In
dams showed up a little to the bad
yesterday against the dazzling work
of Pitcher Ted Malloy of the Con-
zaga college team. A 3 to 0 victory
for the Indians would have looked
good against another big league
team, but really was considered a
little light on the runs in this in
stance-saying nothing against the
capabilities of the Gonzaga team,
however.
The baseball fan colony was lib
orally represented in grandstand
and bleachers. for everyone was
anxious to find out what the Spo-
kane Indian bunch was made of
this season, and there was from
time to time a liberal amount of
cheering Of the old Spokane style,
that has many times last season
urged the home team on to victory
when defeat seemed almost newt
able.
Malloy certainly went to the
game like big Lacquer and had
more dopeballs in that collection of
his than Indian batsmen ever
dreamed of outside of the big
league stuff. He loosened for nine
hits.
Baker and Hickey, who were both
on the slab for the Indians. did
some good work and held the col
lege boys down to two hits. Runs
for the Indians came from an error,
two singles and long two base hit
by Baker.

TY COBB DOES AS HE PLEASES
AND DETROIT CLUB OWNER CRINs

Ty Cobb, the flying Georgian of
the Detroit team, winners of the
American league pennant, refused
to report to Manager Hugh Jen-
nings at San Antonio, where the De-
troit club trained this spring.
In an interview in Detroit, Frank
Navin, executive owner OF the De-
troit team, says Cobb need not re-
port until the opening day OF the
season. unless he desires.
or course It was sometimes nee
essary to make concessions to star
PLAYERS, but it seems to an observer
that Nevin is setting a dangerous
precedent in permitting The
Peach" to have his own sweet way
about reporting.

desire to avoid the spring training;
and they are just as much entitled
to consideration as is Cobb. What

the case because he can't help him
