The day was flawless, made to ordr for a baseball openlna-. and the 'Colts took full advantage of nature's oftor Ins w-ith an exhibition Just as com mendable. They handle) 41 charters without a bobble, remarkable consider ing the switch from dirt to grass In field, stole bases at every opportunity, and scored In "very Inning- they suc ceeded In landing- on the speed and curves of Southpaw Concannon for hits. In addition Speas made a splendid run ning catch from right field to center, and almost ntrured In a putout on a clean single to his station In right garden. That Williams has) Instilled the take-a-rhanre Idea Into the heads of his men was shown when Harris turned a ilouble to center Into a triple by lcs-trtna- it from second when the sphere started for the Inrteld. .Meek latere! ( rend. Concannon. the 19-year-old Victoria southpaw, displayed a nice assortment of speed and curves, but could not tlchtrn up In the pinches. The Los Anceles semi-pro looks good, and with better suptort would have held the Colts to three or four tallies. Meek, the husky Bee backstop, was the center of Interest, and walloped to expecta tions by hitting safely the first two trips to the plate. However, both wal lops came with two a-one and the next man succumbed to Eastley's efforts. The Colts started tho scoring- in the second round, when Nick Williams beat out a bunt, was sacrificed to second and hurried homo on Kibble's single to center. Coltrln hit safely, but tastier struck out. Mensor waited for a ticket to first and Concannon grave an exhi bition of nerve and control by striking out Spees with the sacks clogged. In the fifth the Nicks scored two on errors. Eastley went to second when Keller threw an easy one to the right bleachers. Mensor drove one through Keller. After Speas had again whiffed Kastley started for home. The ball was relayed back and forth between third and the plate until Brennan grew discouraged and threw It over Meek' head. Eastley and Mensor scoring" be fore It was retrieved. A double play. In which Brennan made both putouts and Strait was guilty of a bonchead act. retired tho side. Tlssely Hits Profitable. In the sixth, seventh and eighth the Colts scored by hitting at the right moments. In the very first period. Kastley was In trouble. Two walks and a hit. after two were gone, populated the sacks, but he fanned Keller. The other danger rot was the ninth, when Brennan and itawllnes hit. Ed Kennedy, the ex Portland player, was sent In to bat for Concannon. but Instead of proving a life saver he hit Into the only Colt double of the gome. Catcher Harris, of the Colts, assisted in putting Umpire "Augle" Moran In bad with the bleacherttes. To start with. Augle" uses only on hand, his risht, for strikes, a system to which the fans are not accustomed and do not take kindly. Then Harris argued long and hard on the calling of a ball, and his umpshlp slapped on a 15 fine. This wis the slmal for hoots from the Ktands and bleachers, recalling- the days of 1911. when baiting the Indicator man was the favorite pastime at North western League games.
