Caps, A's Boost Fund by $2,500
VANCOUVER, June 13—The Provincial Emergency Flood Benefit Relief Fund benefitted by $2,500 today. The amount was the total proceeds from the exhibition baseball game between the Victoria Athletics and Vancouver Capilanos at Capilano Stadium.
The final was 2-2. For six innings, it was a ball game with the A's holding a 1-0 lead on Vic Buccola's home run, one of three hits allowed in seven innings by Frank Higgins. The Caps ganged up on Bill Goot for a pair of runs in the sixth. Then everything happend as the players changed positions and the scorer left to sell peanuts. Manager Ted Norbert ended up pitching for the A's, with Charlie Balassi behind the plate and Len Kasparovitch at first.
Balassi put on an act that vaudeville could use. He wore full catcher's regalia when batting, and once stepped in front of a pitch and allowed it to bounce off his belly pad.
Kasparovitch, meanwhile, aped practically every player on the field and conceded himself an inside-the-park home run on a base on ball.
