Frank Patrick, tne league pretj, made a rather unexpected statement while discussing the hockey situation with the writer, when he declared that the Portland aggregation is the best in the league. With the Buds down in the cellar, Patrick's opinion seems ridiculous, but the league head warns that when Muldoon's pets get going they will show the way. With John son' back in harness, Patrick thinks the Vancouvers have Portland to fear more than the Mets, as the Seattle club is at its best now, while tne uregon men are still coming. Tk.

JACK SHERIDAN. veteran sport writer of St. Louis, who says he has seen 27 managers come and go in St. Louis and never a one or them to win a pennant, tells this story as an inci dent of John J. McCloskey's adminis tration with the Cardinals: McCIoskey needed a pincn-nitter. io had only one man left on the bench and that player had been shelved for weak hitting. In desperation, how ever, McCIoskey sent him up for a batter. The first one over was a strike. McCIoskey buried his face in his hands, refused to look at what was going on and cried disconsolately: 'Oh, the dog! ! I knew he would strike out." The pitcher put over another strike and the pinch-hitter watched it float past. . , Aw-w-! On. on, on, on. criea jsiu Closkey, his face burled in his hand. "Oh, why did I ever send that gink to bat?

Oh, what a hit," shouted McCIoskey, leaping from the bench and running to the playing field. "Oh, roe boy. Oh, you. I knew you could do it; I knew it.' TEXAS LEAGUE SEASON SAME.
