FAIR SEX GUESTS
OF S. A. A. C.
The fastest basketball game ever
witnessed in the city was provided
by the S. A. A. C. management yes
terday in honor of "Ladies' Day."
Gonzaga .defeated the club team,
19 to 14. Other features of the
program were a boxing bout be
tween Mike Rutler and H. Week,
and wrestling between John Adams
and C. H. Gesick. Vocal solos were
rendered by Mrs. Pearl Hutton
Schrader, Miss Maud Taylor and
Mr. Ryan.
HE'S ONLY A VOLUNTEER.
James J. Corhett does not draw
the color line. He now offers to
quit "acting" and fight Jack John
son, saying it is a shame that a
colored man should retain the
title. James J. makes the an-
nouncement from Leadville. Col.,
where he is showing. However,
.lames J. cannot be taken seriously,
for he adds to his challenge a de
mand that he be offered the $50,-
--0(i0 which was offered Jim Jeffries.
Tim Hurst, the umpire, in private
life is a fine dresser. Hurst always
looks natty while in citizen's
clothes. On the diamond the arbi
trator's uniform has been the cause
of many a good laugh.
Tim is very careful of hi suni
form, and one day last season,
when he went up to his room at the
hotel wher ehe was stopping and
failed to find his togs, he was con
siderably put out.
As Hurst had been stopping at
this particular hostelry for many
years, he was intimately acquainted
with the manager, and to him Tim
proceeded to tell bis troubles.
"Fl»e Joint you are running
here," he opened up.
What'B the trouble, Mr. Hurst?"
inquired the hotel manager.
"What's the trouble?" said Tim.
"Oh, nothing. Only someone
pinched my uniform out of my
room, that's all."
Naturally the manager was much
disturbed, and promised to do
everything he could to have Tim's
precious unifor restored to him.
After vainly trying to locate the
missing paraphernalia the manager
was finally forced to admit that he
could uot find a trace of the lost
clothes, and told Tim that the only
thing he could do was to give him
COMMON SENSE FOOTBALL
It was in 1905 that the Pilgrim's
association foot ball team came to
this country from England on a
missionary tour, during which the
prime mover In the expedition, Sir
Charles Kilpatrick, expressed the
hope that their visit would help
"soccor" foot ball obtain a foothold
here.
Sir Charles would feel a measure
of satisfaction should he return
now, and it is more than probable
that he and his strong teammates
would find it all they could do to
take a majority of games from our
leading soccor teams.
Soccor has spread rapidly. At
first confined to a small number of
Englishmen living on this side, It
has gradually extended, until now
nearly all the schools aud colleges
have taken it up, while In many
Cities several teams have been or
ganised.
The game has many advantages.
It Is recreation and competition at
tbe same time. While it is rough
enough to make It a hard, manly
sport, it is not dangerous to life
and limb, as Ik Hugby or inte.rcol
lof late foot ball.

CLUB READY TO BUILD
The Spokane club has adopted a
resolution authorizing the execu
tive officers of the club to take im
mediate steps toward the building
of a new club house on the site
owned by the club on the north
side of Riverside avenue, at the
corner of Monroe street. The site
was purchased two years ago from
F. P. Hogan for $55,000, and since
then an offer of $85,000 has refused
for it. A building in keeping with
the cost of the site will be built.
The enterprise will be financed by
the issuance of bonds.
PARDELLO WINS ON MAT.
Leo Pardello of Chicago defeated
Al Kubiak in Grand Rapids, Mich.,
last night in two straight falls, the
first in 24 minutes 10 seconds and
the second in 16 minutes 15 sec
onds.
TOMMY SULLIVAN WINS.
In Philadelphia last night
Tommy Sullivan of Lawrence,
Mass., outpointed .lack Robinson in
a six round bout. It was more
boxing than fighting.

the price of a new one.
"I will give you the money to get
a new one as soon as you hand me
a bill for it," concluded the hotel
boss.
Tim said that would be all right,
and just as he was leaving for an
otlfcr city on the following day he
handed the manager a bill for 35
cents.
"What'« this for, Mr. Hurst?" in
quired the manager.
"For my uniform," replied the
umpire. •
"Well, for goodness sake, of what
does your uniform consist?" he
asked.
Tim calmly replied, "My cap."
it might be well to mention that
all the change Tim has from street
clothes to umpiring regalia is a lit
tle blue college cap.
The one he wore last season had
a red letter "B" on it, and Tim had
many a question asked as to what
the letter was meant to represent,
and Hurst, in his dry way. informed
them it meant "best"—best umpire
in the league.
Someone was uncharitable
enough to suggest that it was an
old Baltimore cap, which McGraw
had given Tim as token of the re
spect and esteem which Mac is sup
posed to have for all arbitrators.
and clever, speed and expertness
count for more than beef. Condi
tion is really the greatest factor in
the outcome. The game is full of
action, and when one has to sprint
for an hour or an hour and a half,
dodging, kicking, colliding, falling
and checking, he is likely to quit
toward the end, unless In the pink
of condition.
A point In favor of the game Is
Its simplicity and the possibility of
the individual playing well without
a long staff of coaches pounding
strategy into bis head morning,
noon and night. Strategy counts,
of course, as it doeß in every game,
but it is of the reasoning kind that
goes under the head of team work.
Soccor is a prettier game to
watch than collegiate or Rugby
foot ball, and it has this advan
tage, that it calls for a sensible,
rational system of training, instead
of. radical living such as is pre
scribed for meu who follow the
other game.
Association foot bailers play the
year round as a |*astimo; they live
moderately, enjoy life's gd*d
things, and. Instead of going from
one extreme to another, keep "Of
all of ike time. They have really

SUCH THINGS AS DREAMS ARE MADE OF
AROUND THE HOT STOVE THE DRAFTED BUSH LEAGUE PHENOM TELLS AN ADMIRING
AUDIENCE WHAT HE WILL DO TO THE BIG LEAGUERS.
LAURELS BELONG
TO THE PITCHERS
Great batters or great pitchers?
Which of the two are the greater
heroes in the eyes of the fans?
An Ed Delehanty or an Amos
Rusie? A Peter Browning or a
"Toad" Ramsey? An Adrian C.
Anson or a John G. Clarkson? Or,
coming down to more modern days,
and keeping' the comparison con
temporaneous, a Ty Cobb or a Mor
decai Brown?
Is the batter who can hit any
kind of pitching more popular than
the pitcher whom no batter can
hit?
An army of fans Will rush to the
support of the batter's side of the
proposition. It is a popular notion
that the thing to be desired in
every city is a team made up of
.350 per cent hitters; a team that
no pitcher can circumvent with
speed, curves or strategy; a team
made up of nine hulking sluggers
whose bats are continually sending
the ball against or over the fence.
It is probable, however, that
were the test of popularity left to
the real students of the game—to
the fans who read and think and
reason—the pitcher would win.
It is true, despite all contention,
that great pitching duels are re
membered for years after great
batting battles are forgotten.
The immense regard in which
the pitchers—the great pitchers,
like Joss, Walsh, Donovan. Young,
Mathewson and Drown —are held
by the fans is in part due to the
love of the average American for
fair play. In a base hall game it
is one man against nine—the
pitcher against an entire team.
Rightfully or wrongfully, the
pitcher is held responsible if the
game is lost, and given the credit
if the game is won.
Small wonder, then, that a vast
majority of the fans believe that
no additional burdens should be
placed upon the shoulders of their
popular hero —the pitcher.
