MIXTURES WALLOp
THE Pen MAVERICKS

The baseball season opened in Walla
Walla yesterday afternoon, when Man
ager Bade's Independent team clasheo
with the Mavericks at the penitentiary
grounds, defeating them by the close
score of to 1. The contest was as
good as any played at the penitentiary
grounds last summer, Notwithstanding
the fact that neither team has had
any practice so far this season. Only
eight errors were chalked UP against
the two teams, five of which were made
by the Mavericks. The game was well
attended, the 1900 prisoners within the
wall being enforced by about 800 fans
on the wall. The Mavericks lineup
has been changed considerably this
year, owing to discharges, and OILY
four of their last years team were in
the game. while the Independents line
up was the same as last year.
There is no better recommendation
for the climate in this section than
the baseball game played yesterday
and it is safe to say there is not an
other city in this section of the coun-
try that played a game under weather
conditions as favorable as the one
here was played. The sun was bright
and warm.
Cook, a new addition to the peni-
tertiary team, pitched for the Nav
ericks, while Doland, who distinguish
ed himself as such a capable back
stop last year, was behind the bat
yesterday and caught a good game.

was credited because the catcher and

er catcher or baseman. IL was the
fault of the rest of the infield, who
did not direct who should take the

catch easily.
Field Captain Obsolete.
In former times the field captain
directed the players in all these en-
ergencies. But the field captaincy to-
day is practically an honorary title.
An infielder can no more coach the
outfielders than an outfielder could
properly coach the infielders. So it
remains, then, with every player of the
team to assume a portion of this re-
sponsibility.
No player should call for "a ball un-
less he is sure that he can handle it
properly Once a player calls for
ball he should be allowed the chance,
even if he has to go away out of his
territory. At least no one else should
interfere unless in much better po-
sition, and then only after the one
calling for the play is absolutely
warned.
Signals are but silent coaching
methods means of letting
every player on the team in on a con-
templated play and keeping the oppo-
sition in ignorance. 1t is merely a
silent language. Every move on the
diamond today is planned. Every
o aver on his side knows what sort OF
ball the pitcher intends to deliver to
a batsman. They must know n order

1 wish to speak of the two chief
agencies of this most important prin-
ciple This is the employment of a
secret code of signals and the coaching
of players. BY coaching l do not mean
only the work of those too much
abused individuals on the side lines
who occupy the coaching boxes.
There is a great deal more coaching
done outside of those lines than on
them. The batter, for instance,
coaches the base runner in a degree
as to when he will try the hit and
run. Or it may be just the other way.
The manager coaches the batter as
to what to do when he is in pinch.
The individual players of the team
in the field have often to be coached.
In this case the manager on the bench
is in no position to perform the office.
The teammates of the player at sea
must assume the responsibility. That
is why brains stand out in the game.
Corporations Make Victories.
Every player on the team must be
a coach. When an outfielder turns his
back with the crack of the bat and
tears toward the fence at breakneck
speed to intercept a mighty wallop, he
is not running blindly. He depends on
one of his associates to steer him right
his associate facing the ball, and with
a long experience, is able to judge just
about where the ball will drop. He
figures everything to a nicely, wind
speed and flight, and directed the I'M

miraculous catches, when In 1act'
come fellow who did not figure, so far
as the stands were concerned, was
realIv entitled to all the credit. That
is mart of the game which the spec
tator seldom gives a thought.

other? Naturally such offenses are

Offenses Frequent of Late.

or something like that
Offenses Frequent of Late.
Since money began to come John
sons way, his offenses have been
more frequent. They are also of a
fore aristocratic flavor. He has learned
to say Good morning, judge" in sew
en- different languages, and he has paid
entire negro quarter of Galveston in
pork chops for some months. There
have also been other trials for often
ces neither public nor printable.
Johnson's conduct during the past
year has not been of a sort to make
friend for himself or for his race. Be-
lieving as he does that his position
as champion of the world allows him
TO get away with all sorts of things.
Johnson has become reckless and rooi-
ish. If he ever knew his place he has
forgotten it. An ordinary day laborer

lenses committed by Johnson would
have spent a long time in Jail.
His appearance at the last Wander
bilt cup race was an excellent ex-
ample of Johnson's lack of judgment.
He thought he was entitled to enter
the box section of the grandstand and
sit with the Four Hundred. Even the
champagne bottle in the side pocket
of his fur overcoat made no impression
on the special officers. They "shooed'
him away.
His last offense went before New
York grand jury. He had brutaily
beaten up a little negro weighing about
l25 pounds. a consumptive, who had
aroused his ire by making the state
ment that he remembered the time
when Johnson was glad to drink beer
out of a pail.

Johnsons rowdy conduct will have
it's effect upon the boxing game. Now
adays there are many well behaved
young men making their living with
their fists. They do not get drunk, they
do not attempt to force their society
upon those who do not care to meet
fenseless citizens just because they are
strong enough to get away with it..
Such men have raised the standard of
the game in this country; they have
gone far to dispel the idea that a
prize-fighter is always drunken
rowdy, ready with his fists at al times.
