OFF DAY AND
TOO 'SPTTY'

Discovered!
Early yesterday afternoon two
pretty Canadian girls, carrying
small silk Canadian flags. darted
into the grandstand and hurried
down to seats directly behind the
Vancouver players bench.
Cap. Lou NOrdyke's astral spirit
was floating around the vicinity and
discovered the Canadian beauties.
Nordy always was favorite with
the ladies. Anyway, it never did
take him long to get acquainted.
One look at the girls and their
flags, then Nordy took a lantern
jawed gent named Dell Paddock
off to one side.
Say. Dell. y see them flags?"
"Yep"
"You know what's got to be
done?"
Sure"
"Then for the sake of those two
lone rooters and their little flags,
go in and win this game. Y'see, we
even if we are Yankees it's up to
us
Perhaps 1t was the influence Of
the fiags-and perhaps it wasn't.
Dell Paddock never pitched so
before in his life. He lathered the
ball every time almost like barber
does beard. And zip! 1t would
go over the plate while the Injuns
would make desperate endeavors
m I'm Nh Ne hr I>f NYnvr
Pauline! The best they could do
was touch it to the infield.
And 1t wasn't flash with Pad
dock. For nine innings he did it.
In the eighth he did something else.
One of Rasty's fast ones was APP
preaching him when he saw the
Canadian girls making another
demonstration, SO he drew a deep
breath, girded him about with Ca
madam patriotism and made one
mighty whack at the ball. 1t sailed
and sailed deep out into left back
OF Jack Clynes. When it was re.
turned to the vision of the fans
Paddock was squatting on third
base resting up. He had scored
runner
There isn't much to be said on
the other side. The Indians
couldn't win against such superb
pitching. The only other chance
was for Rasty Wright to pitch a no
hit also He did it for five innings
and then things began little by lit
tie. In the sixth. seven and eighth
the Canucks scored one run each
time and that was the way the
game ended. Vancouver 3, Spo-
kane O.
But the real ignominy of such
defeat lies in the fact that more
than thousand ladies' were root
ing for the Indians. 1t was ladies'
day, you know. Our boys will have
to do lot of fast talking to square
themselves with their fair ad-
mirers They're not all married, or
good looking, or orators, so they'll
probably have to play themselves
into good graces again.
Here are some of the features:
Rasty Wright gave eight hits.
struck out five and walked four.
Paddock gave no hits, struck out
three and walked one. It will be
suspected that Nordyke's boys were
doing some fielding and that sur
mise is entirely correct. Quigley,
Vancouver's second baseman,
scored two runs. made two hits
also. one of them good for two
sacks. Hyatt, the ungainly right
fielder for the visitors, secured two
hits. Mundorff made an error on
which Stevens got to first, and
that was the only time the Indians
neared place on the sacks, except
when Paddock walked one. They
died there. Bill Hulen and Chand-
Ter both booted one and allow Ca
madam bases.
But that's all right. We don't de-
mand every game.
