Sc eattIe, Seals
Win Twin Bills:
BY UNITED PRESS

San Francisco and Seattle swept
their doubleheaders in the Pacific
coast league Sunday while other
teams were dividing twin bills.
San Francisco took two straight
from San Diego and Seattle knock
ed over the league leading Los
Angeles team twice, pulling the
Angels back to just a single game
ahead of Sacramento. Hollywood
split with Sacramento and Port
land squared with Oakland.
The Seals took San Diego 81
and 40. Norberts home run feat
ured a six run rally by San Fran
cisco in the sixth inning of the
first game. Koupal, Hermann,
Wilkie and Ballou allowed San
Diego 10 hits while their team
mates got 13 off Ward, but four
Seal errors hampered the winners.
Shores shut out the Padres in the
second game with five hits while
San Francisco made good four
runs on six hits off Craghead.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

NEW YORK, July 25 (UP)-I
did something very trite, very hack
neyed, yesterday, something hun
dreds of sportswriters have done
before me.
l took an Englishman to a base
ball game.
He was Frederick John Alastair
Cameron, of Londan, of Eton, of
Oxford. And-best of all-he was
a man who had played silly mid
on or Motifs against Australians.
That needs a bit explaining,
what! Quite right, cheerio, and pip
pip! Silly mid on" is position in
cricket. A mid on" stands some
20 yards back of the batsman, bare
handed. to catch foul tips. The po-
sition is So-called because only a
silly fellow would stand so close.
Bloody well get your head knock
ed ed off unless you're awfully
quick on your feet" Frederick John
Alastair Cameron explained.
Further explanation: "Notts" is
the abbreveiation or Nottingham
shire, a county. TO play cricket
for a county-to play for Notts or
Bucks of Hants or any of the other
dozen or so counties-is to be a
damned fine cricket player. And
to play against the Australians
well, that means you are an intena-
tionalist which means you are tops
l took Frederick John Alastair
Cameron to the ball game because
he wanted to see ball game; a
desire that was born years ago when
Babe Ruth was in England on a
visit and batted against the Beet
cricket bowlers.
II pitched to the Babe fellow
Frederick John Alastair Cameron
said, "and he smoke the dickens
out of the ball Broke his bat, in
fact, he hit it so hard. Stout beer
drinker, too, that Ruth"

Bob Douthitt, daredevil driver

two main events in succession at

TO be reckoned with, however, as
will Frank Hetzel Wes Anderson

San Diego may send Ken Muir

to cart home a large share of the

result that few outsiders have been

Bench Warming
By Burdette Kline
Post Press Sports Editor

seattle's Rainier baseball clut
moved into -hird place in the coast
league standings Sunday in a drive
from seventh spot which Manager
Jack Lelivelt hopes will land the
Suds in first place before the final
gun IS fired in loop play.
Seattle's sudden awakening after
the dedication Of Emil Sick's new
baseball park in the Rainiers' home
city, sent El Centres city council
men into action to bring again the
Seattle club to E. Centro for the
spring training season.
The Bench Warmer. for one
hopes the Seattle team does pay
the city a return visit next spring
in order to take advantage Of the
ideal Imperial Valley sun. sun
which molds athletes into shape in
an amazingly short time.
Last season the city paid Seat
tie $500 to come to the valley to
train. In return El Centro received
the money spent by Seattle ball
players and by the team itself. El
Centro also received the benefit of
publicity sent to coast newspapers
to keep fans posted on the progress
of the Rainiers.
This season. however, the Seat
tie club should come to E. Centro
stadium without payment.
City councilmen provided Sc
attic with special rates at local
hotels and eating establishments.
They turned the park over to the
Rainiers. Arranged all advertising.
Residents dug into their pockets
to entertain the baseball players
and club officials.
Thosec courtesies will again be
extended to Seattle, should the
Rainiers return, but the Bench
Warmer believes. that the Rainiers
should pay their own way this
season.

True. the valley will again ie'
ceive publicity from the news SCI
10 Seattle and other coast points
from the training grounds, but
that publicity is not as far reach
inc as Seattle officials would have
yox believe.
The Seattle front office admit
ted the valley was the finest place
to condition ball layers in the na-
ton. so it appears that it is only
fair that the Leliveltmen foot their
own bills in the training season at
El Centre in 1889
If the Seattle club will not train
in the valley unless expenses are
paid. perhaps it would be wise to
bring another team into El Centre
stadium. Seattle public already
knows of Imperial Valley and its
advantageous climate.
PittSburgh's Pirates apparently
are on top in the National league
to stay. Sunday the Pirates swept
a double header from the Boston
Bees to take a four game lead in
the race for the flag.
The schedule during the next
three weeks will favor the Pirates
because they will be pitted against
the weaker eastern teams while the
Giants will be forced to battle the
western clubs.
Pittsburgh has been getting good
pitching and the same heavy stick
work which has been familiar at
Forbes Field for several seasons.
The biggest threat to the Pirates
rule at the moment appears to be
the Chicago Cuts, who are rolling
along under the iron fist of Gabby
Hartnett.
