FARMLAND 8, PUYALLUP 8.

In spirited game Saturday

the Puyallup high school nine by
a score of 8 to 8. Harstadt, pitch
er for the P. L. A, struck out Is
men and allowed but one hit in six
innings. He has speed and con-
troll combined with dangerous
curves that keep the batters
guessing. He was relieved by
Brown, another good twirler.
Valentine, pitching for Puyallup,

lands score was boosted to seven
runs in the second inning.

Rosy Forecast For 1912 Baseball
By Highest Mogul
BY August Garry Hermann

by August tuarfyD hermann
II 1912 doesn't prove a baseball
banner year, shall be disappoint-
ed.
Baseball has not reached its
full development. not by a great
deal. No man can say what its
limitations are I do not think
the prediction of A. G. Spalding,
that baseball will one day be the
worlds sport, is too rosy. al
though this is a long way off.
The new agreement of the
major and minor leagues has
brought about a more harmonious
understanding that cannot but
help improve the game.
This agreement has improved
the position of the player, the man
who plays the game and this
means improved playing. This
means, in turn, a more thoroughly
satisfied public, and never forget
it is the public really makes the
national game.
One sign of the times is the
splendid new fields and the hous-
ing accommodation for patrons, in
major league cities. Rome, when
spectacles were the life of the peo-
pie, never dreamed of such
places. Her games and gladiator
ial contests were staged in less
pretentious enclosures than the
new homes of many clubs.
The stands in Cleveland, Phila-
delphia, New York, Brooklyn, Chi
cago, Detroit and Boston indicate
the progress of the game. Thou
sands who remained away rather
than submit to discomfort and dirt
will attend the game regularly
Everything that can be done to
make surroundings attractive to
men and women, has been pro-
vided and the modern ball park
is as comfortable as a theater.
The calibre of young players
who have come into the major
leagues this year is, seemingly
large, and the races should be
close. Clubs which last season
were dangerous have ben
strengthened in their weak points
and I anticipate a red hot struggle
until the final day.

SMOKER DATE
CHANGED TO
APRIL l9

To accommodate the Early
Home Fund committee the direc-
tors of the Tacoma Athletic club
in session Monday afternoon have
changed the next smoker date to
Friday, April 10, when the club
members will gather at the club
quarters in the old Glide rink.
The program is complete and
the amateurs are busy with their
training. Many of the youngsters
are rapidly getting into good apn-
dition and as the club grows and
they gain experience are going to
make better and still better show
ings.
1t is probable that r. Hagan
and Frank Street will be seen in
the main event. Paul Steele has
returned to the city and Joined
the club. He began working out
at the club house today and will
probably box with F. Vannde.
Harry Jewell and Ben Martin are
also scheduled again. Martin is
improving.
Joe Bonds, the U. P. s. athlete
who made his first appearance at
the last smoker, will be seen in
action again. Larsen, a heavy
youngster who also made his first
appearance, believes he can re-
cover the decision Bonds wrested
from him.
Two Japanese will be seen in a
''fire eating" contest. The club
members find the work of the
little brown men a treat and will
try and put on some new Japan
csc game as an appetizer at every
smoker.

There is one factor in baseball
that appeals strongest to the spec
tator-'free hitting" That is,
heavy hitting and the subsequent
action on the bases.
The reason for this is clear:
In all popular sports, action Is
the chief attraction. That Is why
baseball, which is so full of action,
is so popular.
A pitchers battle, when the
pitchers prove themselves so SUI

teresting to the grandstand and
bleachers as the more active game.
There has been for years legis-
lation to handicap the pitchers so
the batter will have an equal or a
more than equal chance.
This reminds me of men who
manufacture armor plate for bat
tleships. They are in direct COM
petition with the men who manu-
facture big guns and projectiles
to pierce the armor.
1t seems to me somewhat of a
parallel case that the pitcher who

gives a chance for fielding and en-
cages the entire team instead of
making it one-man exhibition.
There is logical reason why
the pitchers should gain the up

what he will do. The batter must

Last year was disastrous for
several minor leagues, due chiefly
to the feeling of prosperity and
the desire to forget salary limits.
Managers learned a valuable IL
costly lesson and this season will
avoid the errors which made
trouble. With good weather the
minors should be as prosperous, in
comparison, as the major leagues.
L shall be very much surprised
il any National or American
league club makes a runaway race.
In fact, each league is more even-
ly balanced than ever before and
that any one of four or five teams
is apt to win the pennant in either
league.

SPEED ORDINANCE
IS VERY EFFECTIVE
One Woman Driver, How
ever, Turns Corners at
High Rate.

AS result of the speed war in
which the Hammond police department
have taken an active part during the
past three weeks a great deal of diff
ference has been noticed in the speed of
the machins, not only among the peo-
pie of Hammond, but those of Chica-
go and other cities.
That the speed war has been effective
is shown by the fact that no arrests
have been made during the past week
as heretofore, when the speed signs
were put up, ten arrests were made in
one day. The Chicago automobile own
ers who was in the habit of burning
up indianapolis avenue and other
streets leading into Hammond have
learned that Chief Austgen and his
force mean business and now when
they ride on these roads there is a no.
ticeable reduction of speed.
There are still a number of reckless
drivers in Hammond, including one wo-
man in particular, who turns corners at
high rate of speed without giving
warning and endangers the lives of
pedestrians. So far Hammond has been
lucky, and now is the time to avoid any
fatal accidents These certain drivers
are being watched by the police, and If
the practice is kept up arrests will be
made and the party will be prosecuted.

with her at the time of her arrest, but
later broke down and revealed his
