However, Mc Credie has been showing surprising speed for a man as much overweight as h Is. for he played baseball when weighing not more than 180. , .

Mac hurtled the merry ha ha Lon-r-ward at the proposition. Buddy Ryan continues to be the life of the Portland team In aU of the grames as well ss practices, for the gingery little outfielder gets more real fun out of baseball than any two other members of the squad. He Is continu ally seeing: the funny side of every thing, and does not hesitate to call at tention to the ludicrous incidents, to the great amusement of the balance of the team. Rumors reaching here have it that another Oakland player has quit that team, and this lit none other than Harl Maggart. the dusky-haired left fielder If Maggart has left the camp, his de parture will hurt decdedly more than the quitting of Don Cameron, for Mag gart was a real ballplayer. McCredie thinks that Maggart will not remain out of the game long. . Buddy Ryan received a letter from Gus Iletling, In which the latter says that he Is getting off good and expects to enjoy a good season. Last year Het ling had a "bum peg" when he reported to Portland, and his injury bothered blm more or less all season. While the Beavers want to beat tbe Oakland aeries, they are hoping that Healing makes good with that club. Reports from Ts Angeles have it that Patterson, the new Vernon firat baseman, is not any Improvement over Bill Fisher, as he is very weak at field ing and does not hit much better than did Fisher, who Is now with Tacoma In the Northwestern League. Fisher was a great fielding first baseman, and if he could bit he would be a star of the first magnitude.
