Some, persons love to dream, and, after
the awakening, sit at their, desk and
write baseball wisdom. It was recently
stated that If a team can'tr hit It can't
win. Of course, a team jnust hit a little
bit In order to win; It couldn't carry
oft - honors otherwise.. The statement
went on to say that. Los Angeles led
the Coast league in batting last season
with an average of .245; Sacramento
second, with .243; Portland, 210, and San
Francisco, 203. The truth of the matter
4s that Portland led the Coast league
In batting, "With an average of .292. ! Be
attle was second with 289; Sacramento,
.270; San Francisco, .267, Los Angeles,
.267, and Oakland, , .252. The strange
feature of the whole ' season was the
splendid batting of f the Browns, al
though they' finished fifth In the race.
This feature Is easily explained when
the records are " scanned and . carefully
studied. - Portland ' couldn't have' won
the pennant last year batting .692, on
account of , the wretched ... manner in
which bases were run. Sacramento led
with stolen bases, having the proud rec
ord of 422, Los Angeles was second with
878, while Portland, with her great bat
ting record, came next to last, with
292 stolen bases. Poor baaerunnlng ana
listless fielding cost Portland the 1903
honors. ; , . ' -. ;. .'.

like to read correct baseball news, the

Coast league clubs are published. The

HAS HESS' BEEN
TREATED RIGHTLY?
While men are being signed for the
coming season, would it not be a good
plan to look around and see if all good
players, if available, are taken care of?
Speaking of good players recalls Tommy
Hess, who caught for the Browns last
year. Of course, Hess was criticised
considerably for. not being able to work
when his hand was in such poor condi
tion that every time he caught a ball
the blood would Issue .from the Injured
member., Now that the criticisms of. a
past season are at an end. Is It fair to
rush onward without having .even a
vagrant thought of Tommy HessT Ev
erybody recalls the games that Hess
caught when he was in condition. He
was by far the most graceful backstop
in the Coast league last year, and was
an accurate- thrower. Because Tommy
was unfortunate he was abused and
kicked and snubbed. If he were a
fighter he might have been treated In a
more kindly fashion, because he could
defend himself against attacks, but as
he was quiet and unassuming, everybody
gave him a kick. It's all right enough
to praise the successful fellow, but in
bestowing laurels upon him the unfor
tunate fellow should not ee entirely for
gotten. ,
Portland, waa delighted ; to -secure
Tommy Hess' services. He is a splen
did catcher and can deliver the goods.
Has he been treated rightly In Port
land?'.'."' .
Tommy likes the Pacific coast, and
he went to considerable trouble when
he Jumped the New York State league
to Join the Browns when they were In
great need of a catcher. ' Tommy Hess
of last year's Portland .'Browns can
hold his position with any catcher in
the league. .. . ,.

IN THE DAYS OF
BASEBALL GLORY
It is said that Billy Alvord's entry
into Cleveland as third baBeman for Pat
Tebeau's old team waa made with con
siderable blaring of trumpets and crash
ing of brass., and, singularly enough,
Billy's first play was spectacular enough
to warrant all the ' racket with which
his coming was Invested.
A twisting foul went over the Jeft
field bleachers, and AlVord, rushing over
there pell mell, stretched out his right
hand far over toward the quarter spec
tators and caught the ball. The dem
onstration was terrific. n - '
"Nice catch you made of that foul,"
said Tebeau at the hotel after the game.
"Nice catch V echoed Billy. "I ought
to be fined for It. I'd no more business
with that ball than you had. I put my
hand out to keep from ; bumping Into
the stand. I missed the boards, skinned
my wrist as It slipped over the top
railing, and was In such pain I didn't
even feel the ball when I found it ac
cidentally between by -thumb and fore
finger." - Kis Preference, '
Reaching too far out for one of Rad
bourne'a curves one day,. Mike Muldoon
slipped an 'fell ; In front ' of the ball,
which crashed against his cranium with
hurricane speed. "When Muldoon' opened
his eyes five minutes later it was to see
a doctor holding a glass of water close
to the player's lips.
"What's tfestr' asked Mike.
-"Water," said the doctor. ' "Tou. were
hit by anoutcurve."
; "I wish It had been an lnshoot," re
marked Muldoon. '
WhyT" the doctor asked.
"Mebbe . then . you'd give me some
boose.". ' .,. j :i- .-;r -
What the Driver Got,
. After losing . a game last fall Man
ager Griffith of the New York team fell
to abusing the bua driver In the mean
est language he could command. The
driver bore the epithets and the abuse
silently until he arrived at the hotel.
Then he swung around In his seat, and
asked:. . ,. --,!-
"What the devil is the matter with
you, anyway T What haye I doner' , t
"Nothing," said Griff. , "You are all
right, old man. I had that stuff all
framed up to say to the umpire today,
but he put me out of the game before I
could spring it on him. I had to get
it off to somebody."
;'. ,;: Another Bluff. -.
"The story about Arlle Latham talk
ing the umpire out of the notion of fin
ing him $25 makes me think of one of
Mike Kelly's retorts to an umpire's
threat." said Frank, Bancroft to a Cin
cinnati Post man.
"Mike had been protesting every! de
cision, and finally, along about the
eighth inning, he became particularly
obnoxious.
" 'EnouglTorthTs, Keiry7sald the um

HARRY BLAKE WAS
OUT BY TEN FEET
. An eastern authority has the follow
ing to say regarding Harry Blake, who
played right field for the Browns last
season: .. . ,;. " .
"In the first game Harry Blake played
in - a Cleveland uniform he essayed
steal of aecond base and was met by the
ball in the second baseman's hands
about 10 feet, up the base line. Harry
started lor the bench as meek as a kit
ten, , when Tebeau rushed out towards
blm, his eyes ablate.
"What's the matter with you? Are
you aeaf and dumb?" yelled Pat. . . v
: "Why, I vwaa out a mile," replied
Diaxe. . -;-:ti ' .-' 'i
"1 don't care if .y6u were out 10 miles.
you want to kick," roared Tebeau. '"If
you let one of these Jim-crow umpires
get away with a decision again without
making a holler I'll fine you a month's
pay. Do you understand?" v
"Yes, I guess I do," said Harry, and It
is a matter of record that Tebeau had
no occasion to call , down his stubby
right fielder on the same account again.
"No man who ever played ball was the
late Mike Kelly's equal in repartee," said
Mike Hogan. "I remember the roar that
went up from the crowd when Cy Young
struck thei great catcher out In one, of
the last games Mike ever played In
Cleveland as a member of the. old Bos.
ton team. The next time Kel came up
oia vr repeated- the trick. The specta
tors were .crazy. -A man . sitting , next
to me yelled 'Your lamps are out, Kel
ly. You're a very bum batter for a
$10,000 beauty.'
""I know it, fellers, I know It.' shouted
Kel, and If It wasn't for all you easy

Rev. J. W. Brougher, pastor, of the
White Temple, has been called a "live
wire." He believes in dealing with the
problems of everyday life and considers
Christianity the solution of them all.
He has no patience with hypocrisy or
a namby-pamby Christianity. He is a
manly preacher, and believes in preach
ing a manly gospel. He uses anecdotes
to illustrate his sermons, and moves hia
audience from laughter to teara at will.
. Last night he spoke on "The Moral
Man and the Hypocrite." He took for
bis text Matthew 12:80, "He that Is
not with me is against me." Among
other things he said:
'Thla is called a Christian country
It is not with infidels, agnostics - or
heathen In particular that Christianity
haa to contend most It Is that large
class of people who are well disposed
toward Christianity but refuse to" pub
licly identify themselves with the cause
Of Christ. They consider Christianity an
important factor In our civilisation.- They
will help support a church In tha com
munity. It raises the price of real
estate and its influence Is better than
a police force. These - people . are
friendly disposed to the church, but
they will not take a bold stand for
Christ If It la to their Interest to talk
like a saint they can do it; when it la
to .their Interest they can also talk like
the devil. In his argument with the
Pharasees, Christ asserted that there
are only two kingdoms in the world,
One is the kingdom over which God
rulea and la called the Kingdom of God;
the , other la the kingdom over which
the tiivil rulea and la the. kingdom of
aatan. These two kingdoms are diamet
rically opposed to each other. Jeaua
Christ la supreme in man's life, or
else the devil has been .crowned king.
If Great Britain and tbe United Statea
had been the only two nations since the
world began, every person would be an
Englishman or an American. A school
teacher asked a boy his nationality. He
said: i don't know; my father was Eng
lish, my mother waa French, and I waa
born on a German veaael flying a Dutch
flag." Hla teacher did not know his na
tlonallty. But with only two klngdoma
In the world we would be In one or the
other. Every person Is either In the
kingdom of God or In the kingdom of
Satan. There are lota of Dr. Jekyla and
Mr. Hydea lii the world people who
want to be one thing one dayi and an
other thing the next
We frequently hear the moral man
who la not a professing Christian say
that he doea not Jofn the church - tee
cause there are hypocrites in It When
a man tells me that he is as good a'a the
church members, ' I alwaya ask him
whloh one. He usually picks out . some
old, hypocritical deacon, and - describe
him. I Bjivsva toll him that T Aava ni

man, but that Ta ho better 'than a" hypo-'

ference bet ween, the moral man and the
hypocrite. The hypocrite Joins the
church and Indulges In the world euffl
clently to gratify certain sinful de
alrea. The moral man atanda for the
world and accepts tne influences of. a
