SENATOR’S HUMBLE SWORD
SWALLOWERS LAST NIGHT
BY SCORE OF 18-13
The Pirate baseball team was
hooked again last night in their mix
up with the flashy Senator outfit
which handed them a choice defeat,
the game ending 18 to 13. Each
time the Pirates were fortunate
enough to slip a few runs over the
initial sack, was the signal for the
Senators to go on a batting spree,
result being the buccaneers never
had a look see.
“Lefty” Jack Lien, port and star
board twirler for the Priates, kept
the hits well scattered, but his sup
port, as per usual, was awful. Sny
der caught Lien. “Smiling” Painter
held down the first sack owing to
the absence of Robinson.
Valade, who hurled for the pen
nant aspirants, had the opposing side
eating out of his hand until the latter
innings when he eased up a bit.
Shellhorn supported the ace pitcher
of the league in his usual steady
style and his throwing to bases was
accurate and fast.
Once again “Ed” Rucker proved
to be the mighty sticker of the
game when in one of the last frames
he kissed the ball for a circuit clout,
with one man on base. The blow
was a four sacker in any man’s
league and resulted in acting as a
shot in the arm to the Pirate lay
out, but the rally came too late,
too late.
None of the regular umpires were
on hand to do their stuff, so Hick
man kindly took over the tough job
and got away with it to the satis
faction of the majority of the play
ers.

Siren at Pirate Cove
Attempts Lure Crew
of Steamer Starr
The steamer Starr crew votes the
Sand Point dance the event of the
season, according to announcement
made yesterday. The personnel of
the vessel was entertained by the king
of Sand Point, assisted by the coltish
riueen of Pirate Cove. The outstand
ing feature of the event was the solo
iance by Mr. Freeman L. Dorrance,
accompanied by “Wreck.” Beach, a
brother to Palm, and his famous banjo.
The terpsichore^n exhibition was
indulged in by all present until the
warning blast of the vessel summon
ed the revelers to their various du
ties. Upon the return of the Starr
from the westward and as the vessel
was passing Pirate Cove, it is report
ed the vessel took a sudden and heavy
3tarboard list, which, upon investiga
tion, proved to have been caused by
the members of the crew' gazing fond
ly shorew'ard, hoping against hope to
obtain one fleeting glimpse of their
long lost “love.” Some wrent so far
is to use binoculars wrhich, of course,
was all in the spirit of “fun.” One of
the members, heretofore mentioned,
wa,s seen to appear on deck with a
microscope. Immediately, the engines
were ordered set at top speed lest the
jiren of Pirate Cove lure the love
lorn shoreward by “strutting her
mions.”
