BOB Brown NAMES
VANCOUVER PLAYERS

When things break badly for a young
player on a losing team it is only nat
ural that he should go from bad to
worse. This was distinctly the case
with Smith. Had the team been
strong and aggressive, as a whole the
misplays would not have had the same
effect, and the climax might have been
/ bridged over The first appearance of
! favor. Not only did he bat we'll, but
! he fielded brilliantly. The one thing
| that really put him up in the air was
/ sharp hit ball which he played poor
! IN. The bases were loaded. and in
Smiths anxiety to make the put out. he
came in too fast and got the sphere on
his shins instead of in his hands. A
more experienced player would have
taken things more leisurely, with the
result that the ball would have come
I into his glove we'll up in the air. Then
/ il would have been AN easy matter TO
complete the play.
Broadbent May Fill In.
Should Smith fail to qualify, Broad
bent. who was formerly with Tacoma
is capable Of playing a steady game
AS a member of the Tacoma team last
season he played short acceptably,
bur it is said that he is a better third
baseman.
Outside of third base there are only
two points to be considered in looking
for possible weakness. Dick Boettiger
has signed, but it is never safe TO inquire
on his reporting. Should he fail Brown
n. the last moment, then the catching
staff would have only one old reliable
Joe Sugden. Sugden is host IN MINI
self. but he should not work more than
four DAYS a week Whether the young
recruits VIII show sufficient class IL
keep up the pace is entirely problem
atjcal. Rurridge, from the TWliigh'
lea yue: Doran. from the Tristate, ana
Flanagan look good at this time Oh
wear Brown hopes that at least one OF
them will prove satisfactory. In case
another seasoned backstop is not Sc
cured before the opening of the season
Brown may conclude to catch couple
iof games a week himself. Bob Is pretty
good as a back-stop. but has MOI
worked in that position to any extent
in recent time. as he had the maferiai
which made it unnecessary.
Needs One More Dependable Boxman
Leaving out of consideration the un-
tried material, the pitching staff real
Ily requires one more dependable man
to helm out Jensen and Erickson. Har-
Try Rush would do this should ne come
back to the form he showed in Seattle

Hustling Bob Brown is showing the

that he exhibited when he walked off
with pennant for Aberdeen and later
on made strong fight to land Spo-
kane in first place. To say that Brown
has changed the aspect of affairs in the
British Columbia metropolis in a few
weeks of hard work would be to put II
mildly. Any team that counts on walk
ing rough-shod over the Canucks when
the season opens Will do we'll TO pre-
pare for bitter disappointment.
To certain extent Brown has
changed his system from former years
In that he has given special attention

most promising young players. If ne

Third base may give him a little

Carlisle on Diamond.

The Carlisle Indian school will not
have a baseball team this year. The
fast has been established that the red
skins are not adapted for the game. A
savage may be perfectly good boot
ball player but he is not out for base
ball playing. A baseballist makes a

Echo was completely outclassed by
the Walla Walla second team. Hos
kins played a star game for the WISH
tors, but he was given poor support.
All the Walla Walla lads played a good
game. One of the features of this
game was the utter inability of the
referee and umpire to agree. They
clashed in opinions several times. The
game was rough and fast. Over 800
people witnessed the games and the
Walla Walla teams were given loyal
support. Lineup:

Strong In OutfieId.

With Swain, Capron, Clynes, Adams
and Bassey to draw from Brown can
select an outfield that will be strong.
Perke Tallant, the latest acquisition to
the outfeld, formerly played with STAN
ford In California they go the limit
in praclaiming his future. Croker
was with Seattle part of last season.
Pierce is entirely an unknown quantity.
Figuring up the list. it will be seen
that Vancouver already has thirty-six
reporting will be somewhere from
March 25 to April 1. The team will
train in Vancouver.
Brown is we'll satisfied with the
outlook for his aggregation, but as
before pointed out, would not overlook
grabbing a f1rst-class pitcher and a
seasoned catcher. His young material
impresses him as being the best he has
ever had at the opening of a season.

 "Sure,'' replied Mir. Davenport
 Mr. Davenport further said: 'sThis prose cuted by the American AntiBoycott Association at the request of the Bucks Stove and Range Co.,. under an agreement that should be fought to finish Any such that reported in the stories of to- day would be defiance of that agreement. The Anti Boycott Association has paid all the bills and will demand that the law takes it's course.''

POLICE HOLD MAN ABOUT
 TO SAIL FOR EUROPE AS

Whether or not Peter Sabot is a fugitive from the gallows, the police are so firmly grounded in their sus- picion that he is a murderer fleeing from arrest. that they have succeeded in having him held without bail until Saturday. even though the detention mt ans that's Sabct's baggage may go back to Europe without him.
 Sabot was arrested last evening at State and Water streets for drunken ness Patrolnlan Bray took him into custody not so much because he aD- peared to be under the influence of drink, as to protect him from the law less ones who prow1 through Water street waiting for just such as Sabot to relieve him of his cash. He had displayed roll of.about $50 and the policeman arrested~ him for his own protection.
 Then he delivered the prisoner at police headquarters. Sergeant Webb was at the desk. He was struck by the appearance of Sabot as tallying with that of a fugitive murderer from Jersey City. Early this week the po- lice received description of a Polish immigrant wanted in Jersey City for murder. Particular stress was laid upon the fact that the fugitive was peck marked. though minute descrip-

That Rawn was the victim of some burglar and not of some personal enemy, was shown by marks on the door Of the house, where the intruder had used q jimmy to force entrance.

STRIKE BREAKERS ARE
 BROUGHT INTO BOSTON.

Boston, July 20-Carloads of strike breakers from all over the country who late yesterday and last night came in to Boston are today being distributed throughout New England to take the place of strikers on the Grand Trunk branches and the Central Vermont. It is believed if the railroads can hold these men to work an attempt will be made to move freight tomorrow. That they can hold them. however. is prob lematical. Desertions from the strike breaking ranks are already reported from St. Albans. Vt, Burlington, Vt., and New London. Conn.,. and the prob ability is believed strong by union men that the colonizing efforts of the rail- road will fail.
 So far practically no violence has been offered the new corners. but they are being reached through telegrams from sympathizers all over the country and the strike-breakers are obey1ng the instructions and are keeping away from the railroad stations. This is believed to be in a large measure re- Spons1b1e for the fact that there have been no clashes Sreported.
 The railroad officials are taking no chances along this line. however, and all of the railroad stations are being closely guarded.

 He declared he had met the girl several mornings during the week, and felt that he knew her. He had nc evil intentions when he gave her the fruit and offered her a penny, he said, but wanted to be kind to her He said he had talked with her sever al mornings.

Chicago, July 20.-Ira G. Rawn, presi- dent of the Monon Railway and one of the best known railway men in the country, was shot and killed by A burglar at his home in Winnetka. III. a suburb of Chicago early today. The assassin escaped.
 Hearing a noise about 1:30 A. M., Mrs. Rawn awakened her husband and told him that someone was in the house Rawn, although implored by his wife not to go downstairs. slipped on a bathrobe and investigated. A moment after he reached the foot of the stairs two shots were heard.
 Ralph c. Coburn son-in-law of the dead man, who lives at the Rawn residence, was first to reach Rawn af- ter, the shots were fired. He found the railway president in a dying con- dition, blood flowing from a wound in the breast. Pawn attempted to speak but could not. He died five minutes latter.
 Immediately following the shooting the Winnetka police were notified. Trains are being watched here and practically the entire detective force has joined in the search for the slayer
 Discovery of bloodstains on the side walk near the Rawn house led the police to believe that the burglar is wounded. Mrs. Rawn said she heard two shots and thinks that he husband fired at the intruder before he was shot down.
 Practically the entire population of
