Although loud In his denunciation of the cowardly practice of sonic Individ- uals In abusing; ballplayers on the field, Philip Cooney. the hot-headed little shortstop for the Spokane ball club, says Ty Cobb was lu the wrong when he climbed Into a New Tork grandstand and thrashed a spectator, precipitating the recent ""strike" of tho Detroit club. And Cooney should know how to sym- J pnthlxe with the Georgia Peach, for he himself vaulted into the grandstand at Spokane two or three week aso and walloped the rlleness out of an abusiva spectator. "Ballplayers are subject to a Croat deal of that personul filth," declared the former Portland Coast Leaguer. ""They should be afforded belter pro tection than at present, but I know the proper stunt In my case would hava been to have had the Insulter put out of the cround3. And I guess Cobh should have taken the game steps. "We of the diamond are only human, however, and we lose our tempers onc In a while the same as persons In other professions. While Cobb was wrong it speaks pretty well for the self control of the players that there are not more Instances of the kind." Cooney had a little trouhle with an abusive fan in the bleachers before yesterday's game, but the latter closed up when Cooney warned lilm through the netting. "When President Jones returns from Seattle and Tacoma 1 Intend to take this matter of better police protection up with him Immediately." said Presi dent Conn, of the Spokane club. "The players should not be subjected to personal tirades. Hooting Is all right, but abuse is another thing. It must stop In Northwestern League parks." a Cadreau. the redskin who may pitch for Spokane today, was tried out by the Chicago White Sox two ycara ago for two months down the home stretch. He pitched one game and was then re leased, wending his way back to Wis consin.

Red Toner Is not a man to be despised in the future. The bleacher ites can't laugh at him and hall hira as the substitute warm-up pitcher. The red-headed spitball artist, se cured from San Antonio. Tex., In ex change for Hutch Browning, pitched a no-hlu no-run game against the Beavers today and In addition to all that It was his quick thinking in swinging at a wild pitch that was also a third strike which gave the Seals their opening in the last of the eighth, when they scored two runs, the only tallies of the day. rerforssaaee la First of Year. Toner's performance is all the more remarkable because it Is the first no hlt. no-run game of the Coast League In the season of 1912 and also because of the quality of the ball he pitched. It Is quite true that he walked two men and hit another and that there were four errors bark of him which meant so many men on the bases, but It doesn't and couldn't take away from his performance. There was not a question but that Toner was pitching the bang-up ball that gave him the season's record. Two double plays helped him out of difficulty In two Instances and outside of that there was a star catch by Jack son in the ninth Inning that unques tionably aided in preventing a run for the northern delegation. Beavers Have o Cnaace. Portland did not have any chance Chadbourne reached second when he was hit In the llrst and advanced on Bancroft's out, but the next two men were retired. George Stone, the new outfielder, at one time in the American League, start ed the second safe on Gedeon's fumble, but lioane fanned and when Berry missed the ball Sione started for sec ond, not realizing that the batsman was automatically out on the third strike. The nearest appearance to a Port land tally was In the fourth. With one out, Rogers walked and took third on Toner's overthrow to first. The lat ter settled down, however, and after Butler was -out on a fly to Mundorff Stone sent a weakling grounder to Toner. The Beavers were almost started In the ninth. Bancroft hit to Corhan. who fumbled and finally threw to first. Jackson, with a great one-hand catch, saved the day nnd Bancroft was re tired. Rorers hit to McArdle, whose throw to Jackson was wide, but But ler snapped the ball to Gedeon and ran plump Into a double play at first base, McArdle doing the relaying. K la witter la Good Form. Klawltter. the new Beaver twirler from New Orleans, pitched good ball. He allowed but five hits, did not walk a soul and fanned eight. His hits were widely scattered and did not seem par ticularly dangerous until just at the close.
