lie maid: 'Don't you suppose I could get a bigger baseball field here If I wanted It? Do you know that I am paying 10 times more to keep up that park I have than any other baseball organization in the northwest and that I could get a park just as fine or finer than any other In Mtn lertgue for just one-tenth of what it is coking me now? That's the tact. I can get a beautiful park here in Seattle, within 15 minutes' ride of the heart of the city, for 1600 a year, It costs me 16000 to malntain the park I have. But I have been in the game long enough to know that the tans who complain that the park le too small don't know what they are talking about and don't represent their own true feelings In the matter. 'They want a park that is accessible, whether it I. little or big.

And jumt those folks who howl about the small park, but attend meet every game, are the people who would go once a week If you gave them the finest plant In the world more than a tow minutes' ride from downtown.

With the exception of the absence of any holiday dates, the selledule of the Northweetern league for 1909 la the beet for Spokane fame In the himtory of the league. Lamt year through the defection of Butte as a drawing yard, Spokane WWI forced to take on several weeks extra ball and all told, played very nearly art many games on the home grounds; as are seheduled for this city this year. But last year gpekene tied to earry 13 etraight weeks of ball.

and had practically only two home stands opening week, one disastrous wePk at Butte, In which only one game wee played and then 13 weeks in a row On the borne lot, closine with Mix weeks on the road. Thia seamen, the Indians' 90 home games are divided up In five different home and away, open ng and eloping at Recreation park, five stands At home for 14 1-2 weeks and four trips on the road for 10 weeks. for a winning schedule, no Spokane was ever so fevered. With fnur Weight week's at home to start off, the Indians Nitould leave for their nod road trip well towards the top. with any degree of luck, and those t.holutow the history of baseball know io.t It Is eaeler for the team off In trent to win and keep winning than 111 team that gets a had start and has to tome up from behind.

Brown is Plesseed. Manager Bois Brown is delighted with the seitedule, while he regrets it WAS not possible to figure out any holiday dates at home. Spokane ban (weed the aeamon at home for the last rive years and has never closed it at home. For the last three seasons Spokane, however, has been given only one week to open with at home, then has to to jump on the rend for three or four weeks, which means, virtually, an Away from home opening. In broad contrast to the much cursed hick of the Spokane teams to have to 'Hose the newton away from home In rest years.

the Indiana have three of Ina holt four weeks; at Recreation park. If the race is hot at that time, the Spokftne fans can be to at the finish. It will be a novelty to see a league season closed here. Holiday Not it Payer. Bream was inunenetely lucky In drawing the best paying dates for the home grounds.

While a holiday date is reneldered a juicy plum, it has never in touch of a payer in Spokane. Many fans will really rejoice. for It will give thorn one day at the lakes they might not take with a ball game to tempt them.

The members of this cotnmittee are: J. Ed Grillo of the Washington Post, Bid klereer of the New York Globe, and Henry P. Edwards of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The secrifiee fly rule.

which was placed on record a year ago, needs amendment. The way it stands now, the batter gete credit for a sacrifice fly when he scores a man from third only when the fly is caught. In event of the outfielder muffing the ball, the batter sufferti. Such was not evidently the Intent of Billy -Murray, who proposed the rule. chengen in the Summery.

At present the baseball summary dons not distinguish between 'sacrifice flies and the old suerifice Buell should be done for the benefit of the dyed-In-the-wool baseball fans who read every bit of a box score. In event of more than one eatehor being used in a game by a club, the summary should also tell how many innings each catcher worked. Neither wiuid it ha unsatisfactory If the nallieR of theme batters that are hit by a pitelied ball were Included In the summary along with the name of the pitcher dealing out the blows. This would allow the searebing readers to tell whether or not a man, who was only a couple of times at bat, were hit or received a base on balls. Tanabe on Stolen Members of the Baseball Writers' stomelation are particularly desirous that the steering of Mitten bases be made more uniform.

This looks like foree play, but some corers give the fielder both nil orrorr sod an assial To put a decisive stop to any attempt to change the nickname of the Spokane team in the Northwestern league from Indians to Browne, Manager Brown the other day canceled an order he had plaved with the Spalding house in Seattle for brown uniforms to be Used by the Spokane team this year. He had decided on brown as the color for the 1909 uniform to be trimmed In white. He happened to let that remark drop in Portland and the Portland writer immediately decided that eines Spokane was to have brown uniforms and a Brown for manager it would be the most natural thing In the world to ehango the name from Indiens to Browns. The Bret "Bob" heard of the Portland inane story was when he reached Spokane, then a woman enthusiamt, unknown to the ITII-littnie leader, telephoned a proteet.

Brown aseured her that the name would positively not he changed on his amount or on account of the uniforms either. But he worried over the matter a few days, and finally caneeled the order. If any one mill persists in calling the Indians Browns "Bob" will probably release himself next The home uniform this year will be the white. used last year, with Meek trimmings. These sults were not worn much last year and are in excellent condition.

Brown has not yet placed a new order for the road uniforms, and is debating over the colors. President Cohn is partial to deep maroon, while Brown is rather inclined to navy blue with white trimmings. The old green uniforms. popular with the players and cursed by moat of the "fans," will be sold, They are in excellent condition. There are 16 in the lot.

Brown, who Is a pretty good friend of D. E. Dugdale's, in spite of the keen rivalry between the two, tells a pretty good yarn on the fat Seattle magnate. "You know there are lots of not only in Snottle but all over the circuit. who think the only reason that D.

E. Dugdale was in the cellar last year was because he wouldn't pay out money for players. I have heard fans make some awful cracks about Dug's cheapness, hut I know it to be an absolute fact that Dugdate's tallend teatn last yeir cost him $400 a month more money than any other teant in the eft. cult.

Well, along late in the season Dug was trying desperately to get a pitcher, and, like all the rest of us. was hot after Cita young Gregg, who atendfastly turned down offer After effer from all of us. Dug offered this raw, untrained kid a salary that would beat anything ever known in the history of minor leagues for a beginnerI can't give you the exact figuresand here's the telegram that came bark to Dug: "Go on, you cheap aka tat I wouldn't play On that Minh hunch of yeure," The telegrant never came from Gregg. Dug sent it to Wallace and it was opened there by Paddy Welch and Roy Dudley, and just for a joke on Dug, who had released them both in the Arming, they framed up the wire in reply. Dug isn't over the that telegrom gave him yet.
