NORTHWEST
BASEBALL

Lefty" Fred Miller, the former
Seattle pitcher, is still learning
how to plug up holes in teeth
somewhere around Chicago and
will not report to Oakland until
the forepart of June.
Pernoll made good in his first
game in the Coast league, by
shutting out Los Angeles. Strange
how these "bush" pitchers do
make good in that class A COM
pany.
Eddie Kinsella, who pitched for
the Portland team in the North
west league couple of years ago,
did the fiinging for Denver against
the Boston Americans the other
day, losing his game to 1.
Walter Maggie, the former Los
Angeles pitcher, has made good at
the Pirate camp, and Manager
Clark has placed his name on the
list of regulars.
Slim Nelson. who did some
fairly good pitching for Oakland
last year, and some better for
Tacoma three years ago, has been
offered to Joe Cohn, by the Com
mutors. Joe said nothing doing.
Some clubs in this circuit might
go farther and do worse than grab
Nelson.
AL Carson. who annexed the
poison Ivy" appelation by COM
ing in contact with some of the
vint on George Shreeder's back
fence, is pitching some good ball
for the Hogan's Happy Hooligans
in the Coast league.
1t cost Happy Hogan So for of
fering to bet Umpire Finney $500
that he had made a wrong decis-
ion on close play. Happy will
probably remember that the laws
Of California are so strict on bet
ting that a person does not even
dare think about it, let alone offer
an oral suggestion.
Frank Dickinson, Spokane re-
cruit who was released to Vic
toria, coached Pomona college,
Southern California, last season.
Daniels, twirler, and Croft, an
outfielder who were recommended
to Joe Cohn, were grabbed by the
Red Sox, the collegians looking
like coming winners to the Sox
management.

SAN FRANCISCO, April TO-
The lady stenographers of San
Francisco are up in arms over the
admission price of so cents on
Saturday ball games, which they
term an exorbitant demand.
Their howl is based on the fact
that three week days are laid
aside as ladies' days, but their
work does not permit them to at
tend the weekday contests and
as Saturday is their day off they
would deem it great favor if the
management would reduce the
price to 25 cents. A petition,
signed by many stenographers,
has been forwarded to the club
officials. Some of the San Fran
cisco ladies are getting to be real
bugs" and follow the pink edi-
lions closely.

Tennis Meet to
Be Held

berta, and Jack Gamble, a tennis

the middle west title. together. It
is expected to pull off the Victoria
series In May, to be followed by a
series with Portland team.

NEVER HURT

Catcher Charlie Street's hands
are not marked by any scars, nor
any broken or twisted fingers, yet
he has caught more than 400
games since he left the San Fran
cisco Seals to join the Washing
ton American league team. Street
says he always holds his fingers
together when he catches the ball,
and that he was never injured,
even when he made that record
of catching 16 straight games in
nine days.
