GATHER ROUND NE FOLKS, AN’ LISTEN TO Sone Seattle and Portland Dish Up Baseball Little Short of Murder; Local Club Needs Fixing , BY LEO H. LASSEN Sometime, in the far distant future, a pair of Coast league teams may dish up a worse brand of baseball! than Port- id and Seattle offered to the fans at the Rainier Valley ~q lot yesterday, but we don’t see how it could be done. erros, six by Portland and four by Seattle, only half explains the weird brand of baseball that was put on exhibi- tion. It was a pitiful demonstration from start to finish, and, as Portland scored seven runs and Seattle four, the} visitors are credited with their second straight win of the ies. We won't go into further details here; it's beyond us to explain the disaster and escape arrest, so we'll pass up the ljanation. . ‘or these fans who like to take their daily murder —————————-——--« Istraight, the story of how the! ret | runs were scored will be found <i lin the columns directly to the ®t: | right.

Paddy booted three grounders during the matinee, Seattle suffered another blow yee terday in the loss of Harry Wolters, rightfielder, who was cracked In the Mouth with a pitched ball in batting Practice. His injury was a painful one. He batted as a pinch hitter, but he Will probably be out of the lineup & couple of days. This is his second bad Injury of the season. Daddy Rohrer, alleged catcher, waa given notice of his release before yesterday's game, and he tried as hard as he could to show his appre elation by throwing the ball away a couple of times, letting tn runs, and busher.

Red Baldwin, the new catcher purchased from the San Francisco Seals, will be in town some time today, and it is hoped that he will be ready to play before the series is over.

Some of the players aren't slumping, they simply haven't got the class, and the squad is falling deeper into the cellar every day, We need a shortstop, a hard-hitting outficider and more snap and ginger to bring the squad out of the rut before the Seattle fans, who have stuck to tl ship thru one cellar reign, lose their ambition.
