Wolters was regarded as the outfielder in the Pacific Coast Ic in 1915, and also in 1916. He pUyed wonderful ball in 1915, clouting for the Los Angeles team. In 1916 business reverses took mind off baseball, but even at lie hung up a batting record of He lost a fortune of many thi dollars. Experts agreed that he' have led the league but for hit -fortune.

bat is regarded as one oi the best balanced schedules ever arranged for the Northwestern league was announced here today for the season of 1917 by Robert L. Blewett, president of the league. The schedule was recently adopted by unanimous vote of the directors at a meeting in Spokane. Butte and Great Falls will have no complaint on the arrangement of games. These teams play at home Memorial day, Fourth of July and Labor day.

Spokane will play the Memorial day game at borne and Seattle the Fourth of July game. On Dominion day, May 24, Vancouver will be at home, having Seattle as her opponent. While Tacoma will not be fa-favored with holiday games on her home grounds, she has been alloted a fine schedule for mid-summer games. After talking to a few of them you cant help catching this enthusiasm it is contagious; it is the enthusiasm that is death to opposition. If Manager McGravv and I-cvv McCarthy were to stay away from the field tht same amount of work would he done because the men are now right on their toes they have to be dragged off the diamond.

When the rookies cajne to camp late in February more than half the regulars showed up with them, something almost unheard of why? Because those men Jack Murray, Jeff Tesreau, Benny Kauff, Rube Benton, McCarthy Schupp and Way, knew they would be better for the extra week in camp and wanted that extra work. That is one thing temperament is doing for the Giants. Temperament may turn right around and do something else in tuly but at this stage of the game it woesnt seem possible. And when I speak of temperament I want to cite a few names Heine Zimmerman, the person of the neckties and lurid sox Benny Kauff. the alleged Ty Cobb of the By W.

C. These patches are called "gasoline patches" because no cement is required with them, it being already on Marlin, March 17. The great est amount of temperament ever collected in a ball club that's 4he New York Giants. What does it mean? Temperament can mean two things a ball club a great winning machine or an erratic combination. W'hat will it mean to the Giants? Lister As I write this the New iYork look like the best ball club of the type since the old Cubs it is the same type of ball club and the answer, which will be read along in tile summer, will tell the Story.

If the New York Giants can keep the same spirit they have now they are unbeatable. If they become indifferent, a much poorer club can beat them. But the present spirit of the Giants in itself is unbeatable. The men individually believe they are going to play in' a world series. Harry Woltars.

Angeles Pacific Coast leaguers to his old team, the Chicago Cubs, Walters is the exception that makes the BusJier breed run true to form- His is not the part of the Feds; Buck Herzog, erstwhile manager of the Reds; Dave Robertson, Art Fletcher enough temperament to make any manager hut the temperamental McGraw sit up nights and worry. It doesn't worry McGraw it pleases him, for he believes it is directed right. Zimmerman, for the first time in years, is satisfied. So is Herzog. Robertson, it is thought, is in a mood to be serious and play ball seriously.

The answer is here, John McGraw speaking: Temperament may win or lose ball games. I believe the temperament on my club is the kind that cant be beaten.

Kelly gave him one of those you poor boob looks of his and said Everybody knows that Spider Kelly has a sharp tongue and a ready wit. Say, you didnt get no draw!
