"JIM'S DOPE" ON MATTERS OF
INTEREST TO BASEBALL
FANS

According to the available dope,
the Colville "fans" will witness dur
ing the 1920 baseball season the
highest class of ball ever seen in the
historic city.
The Inland Empire Six Team
League is now being organized
Among the members are Colville and
Chewelah of Stevens county, two
teams from Spokane, and Davenport,
Newport, Standpoint, Harrington and
ColfaX are seeking membership.
The Stevens County Livestock AS
sociation is moving the grandstand
from the old fair grounds and, assist
ed by the Chamber of Commerce, will
lay out the new diamond in the fair
association grounds.
According to baseball local author
tiles, Colville has more and better
material for a fast team this year
than ever before and the prospective
players are full of pep" and the
fans are beginning to "ginger up"
Tom Hart Norman, proprietor Of
the Central Barber Shop, states
he will furnish two men for the line
up from his shop. Arrangements
are being made for two outside
pitchers who will be given positions
by local business men. 1t is claimed
that Chewelah will alternate Laird
and Battiste in the box. Big Bill
Laird, commonly known as "Slats,"
first gained prominence as a pitcher
on the Colville diamond in 1912
Since that time Bill has been pitch
ing professional and minor
league ball. Battiste, an Indian,
lives in Tum Tum and is spit ball
artist who is hard to hit
The final arrangements are being
made this evening at "Smith's Dope"
in Spokane, where all the club man
ayers are arranging the details and
a schedule. This will be a twenty
game series, ten of which will be
played with the various teams on
the Colville diamond. The series is
expected to begin the latter part of
.ri,esruar1 maIerIuI ana apparatus
are now doubled in price. Spalding
League balls by the dozen cost $3.50
each, formerly $1.25. Bats that sold
a few years ago for 81 now retail
for 81, and felders' mits sell for
from ST to $40. The admission to
these games in all probability will
be fifty cents, including the lO'S war
tax.
Full details of the league will be
published in "Jim's Dope next week.

Gerking, local manager, reported that
a large business had also been done
in the sale of hay, flour, feed and
grain, and it is expected to enlarge
the selling end of the business, re-
failing to the public and making
attractive prices to members.
AS proof that the growers of the
district had maintained the high
standard set in previous years, he
mentioned the fact that the Skookum
inspectors and the state and county
horticultural inspectors had gone
carefully over all the fruit in the
warehouse at several different times,
but they had never turned down any
fruit as below standard. He also
stated that during all of these in
spections only one wormy apple had
been found
c. j. Webb, assistant general man
ager, and w. H. John, treasurer of
the Spokane Fruit Growers, were
present from the Spokane office, and
reported on the years business ana
on plans for future development.
