WEST AND BEST M THE WOULD ©F SPORTS
The Fanning Bee
asual Comment on Sport Things That Have Hap
pened, Are Hapening or Might Happen.
BY "MAO."
Joe Cohn. president and general hi yu tillicum of the Spokane
Indians, is hitting the trail eastward in search of ball plyers for next
season. Joe says he wants a couple of pitchers and an tnflelder. Yes,
Joseph, and you want a few more players, also. If the Siwashes are
to keep their champ stride next season, they've got to have a whole
bunch of new blood to take the place of the six cracker jacks lost this
season.
• ••**•
If Uncle Joe Cohn could only develop Walter McCredie's eagle eye
for promising ball players, or else become infused with some of the
McCredle luck, he would have about the strongest team of youngsters
ever seen in the northwest next season; for McCredie certainly stumbles
onto more big baseball finds than any other manager on the coast.
• ***»•
.jAnd speaking of baseball managers and their teams, you've certainly
SJTTO hand it to Happy Hogan of the Vernon Villagers in the Coast
league as the best manager in the west, bar none. Who but "Hap" could
have pulled off his stunt of taking a bunch of Coast league castoffs last
season and developing them into a team which, while not far up in the
percentage column, was acknowledged to be the most dangerous in the
league? Who but this same Hogan could have added a few new men
to this same bunch of castoffs and put them in the running all the way
in the second year the team was organized? Show us another who could
do It, and we'll certainly take off our hat to him—and we'll keep it off.
*•*♦•*
Certain baseball bugs and sport writers are fretting their pretty
heads and muddling up their brains over the question of whether W. H.
Lucas, late president of the Northwestern league, was fired or quit of his
own accord. Now, what's the use of worrying over a trifle like that,
when we are certain of the big thing, and that is that, which <»ver way it
happened, Lucas "has went." The trouble with the Northwestern league
for some time has been too much Lucas. The league magnates recog
nized this fact; Lucas' term expired and another man was elected in his
place. We're rid of Lucas, so, as the Dutchman says, "what makes It a
dltference" how we got rid of him'
*•*•••
The loyal baseball fans of Portland to the number of nearly 1500
met the Portland Beavers, Coast league champions, when they arrived in
that city yesterday afternoon, cheered them to the echo and then
paraded them through the streets. They have also arranged a benefit
fund of 11100 for the boys and will augmen this by several hundred dol
lars more with a benefit game to be played next Sunday. Some little
difference between this and the welcome the Spokane Indians received
when they came back home for the post season. The local champs
slipped into town as though they were ashamed of it, and we hardly knew
they were home until the next day. The Portland reception will make
the Beavers feel like getting out and working harder next year.

John Kllng. who, prior to last month, was referred
to as the greatest catcher in the world, plays pool
when suffering from ennui. The game is as much busi

ambition to become champion.

Can this player deal between Philadelphia and Cincinnati be proper

Frank Gotch has retired, so Zbyszko is coming back to this country.
He took a speed pill just after his defeat by Gotch and headed toward

Mr. Windleague Fletcher will soon realize the difference between
contracts calling for $5000 forfeits should the party of the second part

players.
Who ever heard of a ball player with $5000? In the winter time?
