o, Commander of the Faithful:
l am in trouble down here in the
Land of the Infidel Black Cats.
have fought them three fights and
they have not only beaten me from
Hellipolis to the latest and most i'm
proved form of Breakfast Food, but
their fanatical followers have given
me, me, the man with the long wal
lop and high standing in the per-
centage column, the merry ha! ha!
Last Monday sent Mig Anderson out
on the skirmish line to feel them
out. He felt, but 1t was the feeling
of man who had let bird go. For
nine long, weary rounds we fought
but not one time would these frolic-
some felines let a Terrible Turk
worship at the Shrine of the Home
Plate. But not so with these fussy,

one Bewer, hit one of Nig's shoots out
into the outer garden for two sacks
and when Jack Herbert of the same
tribe hit safety the said Bewer hit
the home plate with tnud that
shook my nervous system until
shook like Missourian having a
chill; which is mighty bad for one
of my delicate physique. This was
all they got, but it was all they
needed. I went home and spent the
night in meditation, pool and-but
why mention it? The Black Cat
shooter was old-man-not-afraid-
of-his-umps-Seiver, discovered in the
wilds of Detroit, sired by the Tiger
and damned by every Turk, from big
Geo. Capron down to Pee Wee Tealey
Raymond.
On Tuesday-O, thou who sittest
on the biggest seat in Seattle, l sent
the hitherto and much touted by Pee
Bee in Seattle's big morning daily as
Invincible Miller to shoot them over
for me. l thought to catch cat or
two to exhibit on the Pay Streak, but
the blamed things wouldn't stand
still long enough for one of my young
men to touch it and say you are it"
Strieb hit to third and died at first,
and my nervous system got better.
Campbell poked one safe, Swain hit
for two bases and that man Camp
bell made through and scored. Say,
Suit, old boy, honest, he can give
a streak of lightning three feet the
start Of him and beat it to first base
nine times out of ten. That one run
was all they got. In the second can
to Herbert cracked one away out in
left to Capron; it was longer than
any George had seen hit in the Sc
attic lot and stay inside, so not
understanding how the old thing

kind, you know at home, he couldn't

dropped it.; Moore bunted and Miller

safe; O'Brien cracked out single
and Herbert scored; Ovitz sacrificed
Moore to third, O'Brien to second,
Strieb famed; Campbell hit, Moore
scored, O'Brien on third; Campbell
stole second; Swain hit scoring
O'Brien and Campbell: Swain stole
second, Lejeune walked, Bewer clout-
ed the ball over the fence scoring
Swain, Lejeune and himself; Herbert
went out. shortstop to first. Seven
runs. 0, my poor nerves. This was
too much for one of my frail consti-
tuition. l took Miller out and put
French in and he let them get one
more in the fourth, making nine in
all. We got one in the fifth on
walk, hit and a wild pitch. 1t
was so small | was almost ashamed to
take it. DR.. Ovitz administered the
medicine that day | went home
again and meditated long, deep and
often. But cheer up, o Big Squeeze,
the worst is yet to come.
Wednesday thought the sign was
right for big Gus Thompson to tame
these Cats. In the first inning Strieb
lead off with hit and went to Sec
ond on wild throw to first, Camp
bell walked, Swain sacrificed and
Strieb and Campbell each advanced
base. Lejeune hit, Strieb and Camp
bell scoring. Two runs.
