To begin with, there is that prize artist, Charley Sehmuta, the old Seattle high school boy, who throws a spit ball tt is almost impossible to clout out of the diamond He has i his contract. Next comes Blaine Gordon, Bremerton clectrician. So far Biaine hasn't signed, but Mike ts sure he will be on hand when the roll is called for spring practice. Lefty Miller will be on deck, ditto Doc Higgins, A while back Doo issued the customary mid-winter bulletin to the effect4hat he was about to form 4 partnersh'p with his brother-in-law, In Minneapolis, for the paln lean extraction of teeth happliy Doc has changed his mind. “Count me {n on this baseball stuff,” he wrote Mike Lynch the other day. That makes four blue ribbon siabmen who psalled through last season with flying colors. Cooney Starkell, who tried last season to give satisfaction as an umpire, and win a game pow and then for « tailend team. at neither of which as m howling success, will also wear a Tiger uniform, When Cooney’s arm ls right, though, he is a pitcher bard to best. Old Ike Butler rounds out the Met of veterans, although Ike's duties will He more as a battery coach. If his old salary wiog Tises to the proper temperature, he will get in and show the kids how it is done, once in a While, Two. more make the roster complete, and old first baseman, young first basemen, real first basemen, ushers confidently asserts are fast enough for any minor league in the country. McHenry {9 a real speed phenom, and English gets bis same from the peculiar twist he puts on the ball. Tacoma is sure up on good pitchers. seeee Deep mystery pervades the atmosphere, and it is all over the second sacker, from the American association, mind you, Mike Lynch says he is going to land for thy Tigers. In fact, he is as good as landed right now, if we listen to the dope Michael Joseph ta banding out. When Rockenfield went to Kansas City, ast summer, he grabbed Tom Downey's job. Tom-was Iaid up, and Rocky was intended only as @ makeshift, but he cut up so artistically, Indian Tom never had a chance to get his old job back after he recovered. Downey has played in the Northwest before, and some of the wise ones in Tacomn any it isn't Downey Mike is after. Anyhow, the Tiger management isn't ‘come back” stunt. . COLUMN It looks as though Jack Tighe, formerly of Seattle, put over a half baked joke on Hill Fisher, when he signed Bill to a Loufs ville contract lest fail. Bill will have a chance at the Lonisvtile first but competition will be so very keen that {t looks as th minated right now.
