Indians 10, Gonzaga 6.
It was the first game of the sea-
Bon and the weather man was re-
Biwnsible. When Manager Brown
sniffed the air yesterday morning
and later when some one brought
hlfn a bunch of crocuses he decided
there must be a ball game and he
scurried around for his Indians.
Borne were regular Spokane In
dians, others Siwashes, while some
of them came from the tiger's lair
lv India, where the Tigers thrive.
Somehow baseball was in the air
for in spite of the fact that the
fame was Impromptu between 1200
and 1500 fans crowded around the
base lines on the Gonzaga grounds.
It wasn't much of a ball game but
as an eye opener it wasn't half bad.
It gave the fans a chance to en
thuse. Brown, Burnett, Jack Kllll
lay. Morrill and Padfleld were the
regular Indians on the field and
every man showed uu well. Rob
erts, Seaton, Yates, Vitus and Jack
Klllllay filled out the team.
The Indians played easily and
made no attempt to do fancy stunts.
Both Klllilays, Padfleld and Seaton
appeared in the box with the tribe
and each man received the glad
hand. Fifteen hits were piled up
but at the same time Gonzaga
•bowed Itself a good team. Skeels
pitched well and fanned five of the
tribe Jervis also did well in the
box. Mulholland, behind the bat
for Gonzaga, was one of the coolest
men on the team and he chopped
Off more than one stolen base by
bis shooting to bases. It was only
a practice game but the fans were
satisfied and are now crying for
more.

PRISONER WILL HAVE
BILL AGAINST COUNTY
*
G. G. Smiljanick. the Austrian
who has been an inmate of the
county jail for 13 months, for as
saultlng a fellow countryman with
a deadly weapon, will be released
In May. He has been laying out a
sentence of one year and the costs
and says that the work he does for
the court as interpreter must be
paid for at the regulation rate of
$5 per day. In the arraignment and
sentence of Austrians Smiljanick is
frequently called from the county
Jail by the state, and the remark
was made a few days ago that Smil
janick did this for the glory then>
was in it. Smiljanick says he win
have a long bill against the county
when he serves his claim for serv

GOOD DAY FOR NO. 2.
LOS ANGELES, March 15.—The
White Sox No. 2 team won two 1-0
games yesterday. The first game
was taken from Vernon and the
second from lx>s Angeles. Tozler
of Los Angeles was responsible for
the loss of the second game. He
allowed two hits and hit two bat
ters in the initial inning.
HERE'S AN EYE-OPENER.
The Mountain Clews beat the
J Bulldogs Saturday in one of the
, first games of the season by a score
'of 15 to 9. Schuyler Hulett is cap-
I tain of the winners
in St. Louis and Evans was to um
pire for the Hrowns and Rlgler was
to call the play over on the Na
tional league grounds.
"They were stopping at the same
hotel and they went to their
grounds on the same car that day.
Evans touched Rlgler for $10 on the
way out, and later a spectator
threw a bottle at Evans and knock
ed him unconscious. The rumor
spread over the National league
grounds that Evans had been killed
by the blow, and when the report
got to Itigler he exclaimed: 'Doa't
tell me those words. 1 just loaned
him $10.' "
BIG RACE BOYCOTTED.
LEXINGTON. Ky., March 15.—1t
is expected that at least 1000 en
tries will be made for the Ken
tucky Futurity to be trotted this
year. The event has been boycot
ted by the American Association of
Horse Breeders because the man
agement has insisted on trotting
the best three in five heats instead
of the best two in three. The race
is for a $21,000 purse.
DICK HYLAND.
Hyland has a grand record to
commend him as an opponent for
the champion. After winning 45
fights as an amateur, he entered
the professional ranks and was de
feated by Frankle Nell, since which
he has climbed upward. Most of
his men have been knocked out.
He has beaten in a hurry such men
as Young Corbett, Martin Duvan
ney, Tommy Mowatt, Kddle Han
lon, Hilly Flnucane and a score of
others.
A rough and ready fighter, with
a sleep producing wallop lv either
hand, he is an ideal opponent for
Nelson, who is no pink tea per
former when facing an opponent In
the roped square.

WASHINGTON. March 8. 1909.—
Dear Dad: Who succeeded Theo.
Roosevelt as president of the Unit
ed States? Taft, you say. Wrong.
Roht. BsOOfl succeeded Roosevelt.
Perhaps you think this is a joke.
Never more mistaken In your life.
I am telling you the gospel truth.
On March 4 between noon and
12:15 o'clock —during that quarter
of an hour —Robt. Ilacon was actu
ally, legally and constitutionally
president of the United States.
Hy constitutional limitation the
term of Theo. Roosevelt ended at
noon March 4, 1909. Owing to
weather and other delays in the in
augural ceremonies, the oath of of
fice was not administered to Wm.
Howard Taft until 16 minutes after
noon. That was tho time Indlcatea
by the clocks of the national ob
servatory, and likewise even by the
senate clock. By some oversight
no one had taken the precaution to
put back the hands of the official
legislative timepiece.
Consequently, by automatic oper
ation of our fundamental law on
this subject, the powers and duties
of the presidency devolved on the
secretary of state, Robt. Bacon.
Hurrah for President Hacon!
Admiral Sperry, who did such
good work taking the fleet around
the world, said something to a
friend of mine about Mr. Newberry,
who will presently be ex-secretary
of the navy. He said: "No man. in
all the time I have been connected
with the navy, baa taken hold of
the work with the grasp and abil
ity that Newberry has. I except no
secretary of the naw. And I can
say this now that he is going out,
when I could not have said It be
fore."
