Another letter from Pasha Mique
to Sultan Obdul Aziz Dugdale with
more apologies to Wallace Irwin).
o Human Being, Commander of the
Faithful:
AS l told you in my last | sent
Clyde Hall after the Black Cats last
Thursday and by Great Luck, after
ten innings of bombardment, we
won out 5 to 3; but l wish to re-
mark right now that it was all we
poor me on first, the result of a walk.
Frisk shot out a three-bagger and l
scored. Emil following me on a
long fly by Capron. AS the Cats
didn't tally in this half of that in
ming we went home happy and l had
the first good nights sleep l have
had since l reached this Champion
Sawdust Town. Friday thought that
surely my dope was mixed right so
I sent Mig Anderson out on the firing
line. But to my horror the Black
Cats sent that man Siever against
us again, and the things he did to
me was plenty. Why out of the
II hits they got he got four, one
every time he toed the scratch, We
got Z hits and 2 runs; they got II
hits and 8 runs, and personally
got another shock when l saw what
a victim of misplaced confidence
was After deep and frequent medi-
tations l have come to the conclusion
that it's no use. If you beat them
they won't stay beat. There is
story here that this Head Cat, Mac
farlane, was seen one day by one of
the Genadiers of the Guard smoking
some sort of mixture known as Bull
Durham, rolled up in a piece of
brown paper and he was taken before
the Caliph who fined him five pias-
tres. But the Head Cat would not
stay beat, but took his case to the
court of Ali Ben, who is wise and
learned in the law, and he said the
Head Cat could smoke cigarettes
and blow smoke rings, or eat snuff
with his nose and sneeZe if he want
ed to, so he set him free. Now all
fighting spirit.
Saturday | tried Invincible Miller
again. But it was no use He looked
like all the rest to them and they
got him to g At the end of the
seventh inning the game stood 2 to
2. In the last half of the eighth the
bases were full and Strieb worked
Miller for pass, thus forcing in the
winning run. We couldn't score in
where you cheer up and life begins to
take on rosy tinge again. We al
most won on Sunday. Gloomy Gus
Thompson CHATS the name the fans
here have given him), wanted an
other try at the Cats, and as the
day was dark and gloomy put him
in; but by the Beard of the Prophet.
they walloped him for IL hits and
runs in eight innings. We got s
hits and runs in the same number
of innings. We opened with a run
in the first, got more in the second,
one in the third and one in the eighth
The Cats got one in the first and
one in the second, one in the fifth
and l began to feel like l ought to
have my salary raised. In the eighth
the Cats made 3 runs on 2 hits,
fielder's choice, a wild pitch and
wild thrOw-and the score was tied,
to 6. We went to bat in the ninth;
made two hits and one run, but the
game was called to allow the Cats
to catch a train for Spokane, so the
score went back to the eighth.
Say, ,Boss,i if these Cats keep this lick
up in Spokane and trim the Indians
we will have to do something, and
do it quick, or else they will take
that flag home with them to hang
up by the side of the other one.
Meet me in Tacoma Monday. Your
presence on the bench may help to
frighten the Tigers. Nobody seems
to be afraid of me any more. My
experience down here has made me
so thin l have to keep my pants up
with suspenders, a belt won't do.
Yours still faithfully trying, but
mighty blue,
