Paddy booted three groundsrs during

Seattle suffered another blow yes
serday in the loss OF Harry woltrrs,

mouth with a pitched bail In batting
practice. His injury was a painful
one. VI. batsed a. a pinch hitter. but
he viii probably be out OF the lineup

bad injury Of the season.

HERE'S ANOTHER
SUGGESTION
Why not move Hartford 10 second

ambition.
The fans realize that the squad II
In q slump. and that the team has
been hit hard by injuries. and they
wouldn't have any kick coming II the
boys were playing baseball. but too
much OF bum baseball Ia more than
enough and the Seattle team will
have 10 shake itself together and
play baseball before they drop out OF
the bottom Of the league.
