have been doing their shopping for
weeks Fast have been paying cash
for all OF their purchases, which is
good sign of the times. 1t shows
that the people have more cash money
than is generally the case Christmas
time.
The forces at the express and post
Offices are already feeling in no un
certain way that Christmas day is

ing the past few days has increased
in size. and hundreds of presents
have already been sent through the
local office. There has also been
few presents received. but the real

scene will be Witnessed during the

will be hundreds of Christmas pack

what some people call the Christmas
spirit" and will cause many of them
to he overjoyous during the holidays.

Say, Louie really made a great short

Louie did, and the runner was dead

he has nothing on Nordyke handling

many bad peg to stop, and a good
many times Snyder heaved the ball
so high and hard that Nordyke could
not have stopped it had he been ten
feet high. With any other man in
the league playing first base for us
last year, Mundorff and Snyder
wouli have tossed off many game,
but Louie stabbed the ball with
either hand; dug bad throws out Of
the dirt and did the human telescope
act in stretching for the high ones.
until both kids got confidence. Had
their throws been going wild and
costing runs, they would have been
up in the air and could not have
made the plays they pulled of as
result of their confidence that no
matter where they threw the ball,
Louie would get it. Seattle fans saw
Nordyke do some Of his fine work,
but to really appreciate the worth of
the man, you had to see him every
day. He also hit the ball hard, and
by his pleasant ways he made an
ideal leader for a team composed for
the most part of youngsters. I am
glad he is going to be with us again
