Dugdale, Hobby Blewett and others, discussing the pending Chicago de- cision and matters pertaining to the national pastime, The party left last night. . The Northwestern league echedule for 1915, held out by Dugdale for the Sunday morning sporting sections, appeared yesterday a Seattle season will start April 20, with Tacoma here for a week, follow: | ed by Vancouver.

With the usual touting that he is a world-beater and the greatest second-sacker in captivity, D. EB. Dugdale announced in the Sunday morning sporting sections the signing of a Seattle contract by Ben Bocock, “leading second baseman of the New England league last sea-| son.” RBocock was captain of the Portland, Me. team last season and came to Seattle on a visit, He is said to have liked the city so well | that he obtained his release from the Portland club and signed up with | Dug. Always remembering that they all look good at this season of the year and are the greatest men in the game before they put on a unl | form and begin to perform, Dug may have a real player in Bocock. He is said to have batted .290 in the New England league last year, and the year before to have made If he knows anything about second basing, he will certainly be a welcome innovation in Seattle, as it has been so long since a real baseball player held down the second sack for Seattle, the fans will jump with joy to see the station handled fn a way that is taken as a matter of course In other leagues. | ee ee | When Lars Haugen, the Chippewa Falls ski jumper, won the cham-| plonship at Duluth, the first to seize him and give a demonstration of| joy was Ragner Omtvedt, the exchamplon Thereby hangs a little tale of as pretty a friendship as exists in sport, Haugen and Omtvedt have for four years m the leading candidates for the cham ship, and on the slides at Cary, UL; Horeb, Wis.; Duluth and other places, they ba waged desperate battle. But with the skis off they are the Damon ar Pythias of sport, each proclaiming the other the greatest ski jump the world has ever known. They are constant companions, and In pre paring for their Jumps each coaches the other and urges him to great efforts, And after Haugen had won at Duluth and Omtvedt had hug him and danced on skis with him, Haugen remarked if Ragn hadn't hurt his hip he'd have beaten: me.” Which illustrates that the sportsmanship of the ski and the prize ring are somewhat different.
