MATCHES
IN TENNIS
MEET

The tennis tournament opened
with good list of contests yes
terday at the Tennis club courts
and II matches were decided dur
ing the day.
The big feature yesterday was
the match between Erickson and
Pritchett of Everett. They played
81 games, lasting nearly two
hours, before either could win the
odd one necessary for victory.
Erickson finally won.
Miss Hazel Hotchkiss with
Miss Leadbetter of Portland as a
partner had it easy in defeating
Miss X. Baillie and Miss Potter of
Tacoma On straight sets.
The failure of Joe Tyler, Ben
Wickersham and Frank Gorrill to
appear at the tournament means
that some new champions will be
brought out.
Bob Breeze and Lyon of Taco
ma had no trouble In defeating
Duryee and Batchelder of Everett
yesterday. They will have to
meet Russell and Fitz later and
then there is likely to be some
playing.

Bert, Daniels, the youngsters who
went to the New York Americans
from the Bueknell college team.
has had varied experience in
baseball. Although still several
years this side of 80, Daniels, ac-
cording to his story, has played
on three college teams-Notre
Dame, Villa Nova and Bucknell,
and in one or two minor leagues,
under a different name on each
team. Since Joining the Yankees
the youngster has let the cat out
of the bag. and now the athletic
boards of the three colleges where
he was a star member of the
baseball team are away up in the
air.
Since going to New York, DAN
iels has set the American league
fans wild by HIS stellar work.
Eastern critics say he is the best
youngster to break into the Amer
lean league this season. He has
played third base and left field
and starred IN both positions.

SPOKANE'S PROTEST
is THROWN OUT

The protest of Captain Ostdiek
of Spokane on the game of last
Thursday which Tacoma won here
by'S to score has been thrown
out by President Lucas.
Lucas took the testimony of all
concerned and decided there was
nothing to the protest. Qstdiek
wanted to substitute a batter for
Keener in the ninth inning. In
stead of sending the BATTER up to
take Keener's place he began
bowling at the umpire. Hall did

not understand what it was all
about and had the pitcher go on
with the game. BY the time Ost-
dick made himself understood
Keener had scratched one to
Coleman and been thrown out.
President Lucas held that Ost-
dick should have sent his batter
in instead OF trying to stop the
game. The umpire is not obliged
to stop the playing to wait for a
team to hunt around for some
body to bat.

ing to the fan as a problem in
calculus to a mathematical shark.
Every year 1t is suggested that
new angels are impossible, but be-
fore the seasons end so many new
kinks are found that even the vet
Grams are amazed.
Take this year. Didn't Connie
Mack throw a bomb into baseball
dom with the statement that he
had paid $4,000 for Russell
Ford?
And now we have the interest
ing phenomenan of Geo. Edward
"Rube" Waddell "sober as a
judge"
If this isn't enough for one
year the fans ought to have their
rain checks taken away.
"Rube" hasn't been of value to
himself or anyone else, save space
writer's, for a year or more. His
fondness for whisky made him
about as reliable as one of those
39-cent alarm clocks.
But Waddell has Strengthened
up" No longer does he wend his
way homeward in the wee sma'
hours, stopping at every thirst par
Tor. Without desiring to cause
heart disease in fandom, 1t is
stated that the famous stem wind
er is on the II o vehicle, with a
fair prospect of remaining until
the finish of the 1910 season.
"Rube" is trying the celebrated
hydropathic-which is lofty dome
talk for water wagon course,
prescribed by Police Judge Pol
lard of st. Louis. If it takes,
Judge Pollard's reputation ought
to be equal that of DR.. Kelley.
For some time Waddell wasn't
drawing a salary from the Browns,
although on the pay roll. Under
the Pollard system he was round
ing, or rather shrinking, into
pitching form. His figure no long
er resembles a quarter barrel on
legs.
Waddell made Judge Pollard's
acquaintance when pinched upon
complaint of Mrs. Waddell, who
told the police "Rube" stood her
upon her head and spun her until
she resembled top. This hap
Ipened when Waddell was
f'soused."
Judge Pollard fined Waddell
$500. AS he was not in condi-
|tion to make little ones out OF
big Ones" RUDE grasped at the
chance Judge Pollard gave him, to
|sign a Pollard pledge.
The Pollard plan is strong IL
its simplicity. 1t offers inebriates
a chance to remain out of the
quarry while abstaining. If they
keep the pledge the fine is remit
ted when the pledge time expires.
WaddeH signed the sprinkline
cart treatment for six months
Each morning he reports to Judge
Pollard. Afternoons he works al
the ball park. Evenings Judge
Pollard keeps an eye on him, and
as a result George Edward is
really and truly returning to the
form which made him famous. He
has no difficulty passing a saloon
without feeling for the price of a
drink.

declares the optimistic Pollard
He isn't bad, but weak. Bad
company has been the cause OF
his trouble. / want to help him,
land he is trying to help himself.
II am confident he will beat the
booze game this time, and will be
a mighty useful player for years
to come"
Which shows the judge is will
ing to take long chance to test
the efficacy of his scheme.
