East Spokane
Team Defeats
Opportunit,

With Gilmore and Woodward do
ing the heavy work, the East Spo-
kaners put the blink on the Oppor-
tunity baseball players Saturday,
taking the game by a score of 7
to 5. Lloyd Wyant of the victors
had 'em all on the run when he
raped out a homer and they all
looked a little squeamish again at
another time when he was at the
stick, when he lifted the pill to the
breezes for three bags. Even Wood
ward, who wasn't supposed to do
much with the feather buster,
pounded out for a two and three
Dagger. Some hitting, Ell?
The Feast Spokane team has not
been defeated so far this year, and
it will play return game with Op-
portunity next Saturday. Aside from
that, by calling up the Sheridan
school, any team in the city of the
IA year old class can arrange for a
battle on the diamond with them.

away. 1t was no trick to get Jack
in his machine, or in his street APP
parel, but the mob wanted him
stripped to fighting toys.
And although &c gave his word
that he would pose, time and again,
Johnson kept that bunch of button
pushers and attendant sporting ed
itors hanging around for a week,
like flies around a molasses barrel.
Everyone of the crowd knew how
the girl felt who was waiting at
the church, long before Johnson
made up his mind to do his stunt
before the picture machines. The

Thirteen to 0-it was by that
ominous looking score that the
Dodds were sent down the weary
road to defeat by the GoldCoins in
the second game of the city league
at Natatorium park yesterday af-
ternoon. Baxter, the much herald
ed twirler of the Dodds proved easy
meat for the yellow kids and the
DOdds had the hardest time of the
whole season getting wise to
Churchills pitching.
In the first game, which was a
fast one with plenty of good play
ing and sensational incidents, the
Hazelwoods put the blink on the
Brownies, the score being s to 7.
A good part of this was pretty
much of a pitchers battle between
Navarro of the Brownies and Eos

makers. AS usual all sides made
a hoard of errors, but a good-sized
crowd was pretty well pleased with
the style in which the four teams
took whirl at the great Ameri-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30
Waiting for Jack" might be the
title for the comedy staged every
once in while at the road house
on the Ocean Beach boulevard
where Jack Johnson is training
AS l have said before, Johnson
came long before he wanted to
tear himself away from the noise
and hustle of Chicago. Although
forced by public sentiment to come
west, he refused to begin his train
ing until he was good and ready,
and in the interim he buzzed about
like big wasp in his gaoline gig.
Every newspaper photographer
in San Francisco, with a sprinkling
from other coast cities and one or
two from the east, developed into
regular Jobs while Johnson was
benzineing around the country.
The sharpshoOters got the habit
of dropping round every morning,
