Here Tonight .Caps Bookctl for Two Games in 7ixidup . Rain again delayed the . Salem Senators vs. Vancouver ; Caps scheduled series commencer at Waters Held last night, and this (use wiped out two games that never will be made up. The clubs were originally slated for a double bill Tuesday . night and single clashes Wednesday and Thursday nights of this week. Tuesday's rain forced the scheduling of -last night's pair and since the. series and. all play for 1950 between the two clubs ceases tonight, last nighfs rainouts are gone for good. Hoping that tne weatner re turns to normalcy long enough to keep them from being washed out of their whole series here, the So lon s and Caps are booked for a 6:30 o'clock duet again tonight. A special added attraction will be the appearance of famed Base ball Acrobat Johnny Price, the former Clevelander whose accom plished stunts including the. catch' ing of long fly balls while driving a jeep, pitching to three catchers at the same time, batting balls from just about every conceivable position, including hanging by his heels and something new throwing two baseballs in the air and with one swine of the bat driving one forward to a waiting fielder, and one behind him to a receiver. Price is beyond - any question the most capable and talented baseball acrobat in the game and many of his feats actually loom as impossibilities. As for the ball games them selves, (Bill Bull) Brenner of the Caps plans pitching George Nich olas and Lefty Bud Beasley, the latter of the goofy windups, etc., who labored for Sacramento in the PCL during the war and who after tonights .games, returns to his school teaching chores in Reno, Nev. Boss Ad Liska of the Salems will pitch either. Bob .Costello, Johnny Tierney or Johnny Burak for his nine. The Senators have added anoth er young pitcher to the club. He's a negro boy, Leroy Woodson, who has been hurling for Bellingham and New Westminster in the Northwest Semipro circuit and who stands at five feet, 10 inches and ' weighs around 170 pounds. Woodson is a lefthander and may be called into immediate action by liska. The - Senators are to board plane late tonight and will, finish out the week in -Spokane with the Tribe, starting with a single game Friday.
