60HN WANTS
MORE BALL

Joe Coin wants IA weeks of
baseball at home this coming sea-
son; also the opening and closing
dates, and all three holidays. And
all the fans are back of Joe in
making the request.
There can be but nine weeks of
Northwestern baseball in Portland
next season, and it is not thought
advisable to try more than eight
weeks in Victoria her first year in
the league, so there should be little
trouble for our Joe to arrange the
14-week thing. The holiday dates
and opening and closing dates,
however, are different matters, and
it is hardly probable that Joseph
will be granted all he asks in this
respect, although he is certainly
entitled to consideration.
Spokane proved herself the best
holiday town on the circuit last
year. and is entitled to most of the
holiday dates on merit.
