PENNANT STAKE FOR | WHICH GIANTS FIGHT JINDIANS THIS WEEK Upon the result of a nine-game series between Spokane and Seattle at Dugdale field opening Monday, the 1915 pen-| nant in the Northwestern league hinges. | The Indians come here five games in the lead. In order to overtake Bob Wicker’s crew, the Giants must win seven! of the nine games, five to get in first place and an even break on the remaining four to hold that slim margin The Giants showed their mettle in the series ending Sun- day. Though the Tigers won the first three games, two of these extra inning bouts, they were unable to win the series, Tealy’s bold athletes seizing upon the next four. It is spirit of this brand that characterized the Boston Braves on their sweep to the world’s championship last summer, and while no such honors are within the reach of Dug’s hired men, a pennant may be their just reward. mans The folks over in Spokane are going to be mighty sore. F. Farr's request that the schedule be juggled so that the Indians might finish the season at home was re- fused at a meeting of the directors in President Bob Blewett's office Sunday night. Bill Rose has now pitched 34 consecutive scoreless innings. And all against the Tigers. He has de- feated Joo McGinnity four times te a row, shutting him out three times and besting him in a 3-to-2 game at Tacoma Aug. 18. This {s not a new record, for Jimmy Wiggs went 44 innings without allowing a run, while Walter Johnson, pite ing for Wetser, Idaho, in 1907, was not scored on in 75 innings. Shortstop Ward of Tacoma, prop- erty of the Aberdeen club, was sold Saturday to the Portland Coast leaguers, The Aberdeen rep- resentative acted as Ward's } ian on the trip to Portland.

Roger worked hard and finally sold the pitcher to the Reds, Toney entered the majors without the sign of a curve ball and without any idea of how to pitch overhand. Miner Brown taught him tn about five minutes to throw a dandy curve, but no one was r able to make bim pitch and, Also, Toney insisted on pitch- ing his raise ball all the time. It took him more than four years and many trips to and from the majors to learn that while his ratse was effective he would have to mix it with some- thing else. He is mixing ‘em now and is one of the hardest pitchers tn the league to score against. Toney {s the strongest man tn baseball.
