Portland sems to have been decidedly

The bleachers In the left-field section

For a time yesterday President Ue
Credle wondered whether or not there
might be a possibility of recapturing
Tom Beaton for the local Coast squad.
The crack right-hander was drafted by
the Philadelphia Nationals after Kubn's
draft by Cleveland was disallowed, but
for some unknown reason no record of
the transaction has been filed wlh J. H.
Farrell. secretary of the National
association.
"I wrote Farrell some time ago ask
ing about the $1000 In draft money,"
said President MoCredle. "Saturday X
received a letter from Farrell saying
that, so far aa his books show, Seaton
does not belong to the Phillies. I guese
the National Commission forgot to
notify Farrell, for Seaton's brother In
Vancouver tells me Tom has already
signed wtlh Fogel."
W. J. Walsh, a Spokane ball fan. con
sulted with the McCredles yesterday,
demanding to know why Jack Mc
Carthy bad not been reappointed as an
umpire In the Northwestern League,
wben he was about the only arbiter who
made good on the job last season.
"I like McCarthy and think him a
good umpire, but. while be made ap
plication to the Coast League, no such
application was received by me,", ex
plained President Fielder Jones when
the matter was put up to him. "Some
thing like 200 letters were received,
and I hardly felt like- putting a de
tective out on Mac's trail when I had
enough applications on file to recruit a
small army."
President Jones further announced
that only three umpires would .be
named. McCarthy is wintering at Sac
ramento. Chicago baseball writers see visions
of another Kd Walsh In "Flame" Lelhl.

was bought by the White Sox last Fell.
The following Is from the Chicago

"The similarity between thee big

comparison, however. Their pitching
traits are somewhat similar, which Is
saying a great deal for the recruit from
the 'Angels.' who will make his debut
In high baseball society In the Spring."
"It's ridiculous to try to compare
those two hurlers." said Fielder Jones,
erstwhile leader of the Sox and prob
ably more familiar with the two men In
question than any other man. "Walsh

The trustees have denied a permit to

After Burge erected a small stable
at this place several months ago the

New Manager Not Making Any
Predictions Until He
Knows His Men.

Bud Comes to Coast Recommended

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4. (Special)
Bud Sharpe. Oakland's new manager,
vouched for by Harry Wolverton ar
rived today. Sharpe was
to have a long conference with Presi
..I.
I m
. t v.. . ? -h N .
k' y.lv i S t--' ,w
dent "Walter and to announce his In
tention of leaving tomorrow morning
for the purpose of visiting prospective
training quarters for the club at sev
eral Southern Coast towns.
Sharpe. quite naturally. Is not in po
sition to talk very much about his
team prospects. He has something like
40 men on the list with whom he must
become acquainted before he decides
on the lineup of the squad that will
represent the Bay City. The new man
ager does not propose to be hasty and
will take his time in looking over the
talent that has been acquired for htm.
Malarkey Sharpens Sole Find.
afalarkey, the pitcher from Buffalo,
Is the only chap recommended so far
by Sharpe and the latter says that
he does not think It would be ad
visable to sign more players consider
ing the supply on hand.
Bud Sharpe Is all that his name im
plies. Tou could not call him a small
man since he tlpa the scale at 170
pounds, but he has a wiry appearance,
an easy way about him that means
popularity for himself and friends for
the club. together with an air of
knowing just what he's talking about.
So, unless a mistake has been made,
the Oaklanders are bound to be pleased
with their new acquisition.
Never a manager In name, Sharpe
has been a baseball captain for five
years on different clubs and during
part of that time he was acting man
ager. Backed up by major league ex
perience and practically eight years of
baseball, there Is little danger of the
new man falling to make good.
New Manager Experienced.
He has had plenty of experience also
in handling men. for during the last
few Winters he baa been boss of
George Stalllngs cotton plantation
down In Georgia.
In fact, lie was down In Georgia
out In a cotton field baling the product
wben the message from Wolverton, of
fering him a chance In the West, was
delivered.
According to present Intentions.
Sharps will play first base with the
Oaklands and will captain the team
from that position. Oakland was shy
a good flrstsacker last year and
Sharpe ought to fill In nicely.
Like so many other ballplayers, he
started in college, aa shortstop on the
Pennsylvania State College nine.
Graduating in 1901 ha started In pro
fessional basebalL
Sharpe favora having the team train
away from home, a step that waa sug
gested to him by Wolverton when he
saw the latter In Philadelphia In Jan
uary. SHARPE HAS 41 CANDIDATES
Oaks Will Require Hotel for Early
Spring; Training Sqnad.
Bud Sharpe. newly named manager
of the Oakland Coast Leaguers, must
be contemplating the Issuance of a city
directory, for In collaboration with
Wolverton. Walters and a few others.
Sharpe has gathered together the names
of no less than 41 candidates for his
1111 ball club. Think of It 19 pitch
ers, eight outfielders, ten lnflelders and
six catchers. Verily In numbers there
la strength and the Oaks must be dished
out the penosmt In the Wnlter league.
Some time ago President Walters In
formed the Portland management that
probably he would be able to help out
the Portland Northwestern team with
some surplus talent. There Is no prob
ability about It. Walters wtll be able
to outfit a couple of teams of more or
less class we are Inclined to the lat
ter superlative.
Of the 19 men on the pitching staff
Manager McCredle seems inclined to the
view that Sharpe has only two really
good hurlers, Abies and Gregory. Mao
says Christian Is a fair pitcher, like
wise Flater, but he does not agree with
Wolverton In predicting that Flater will
burn up the league this season.
' On the Portland roster Manager Mc
Credle has assembled 17 players, but
1 several of these were erla-lnal!y I
tutt lr Ua Berth western. League. acJ
will be turned back as soon aa Walt
has had a chance to look them over
for future reference. San Francisco has
an outfit of 11 men.
The Coast League limit at the start
of the playing season Is 20 players.
Tommy Ryan, the former' boxing In
structor at the Multnomah Club in this
city. Is drawing down an amount said
to be 1300 a week for training Jim
Flynn and doing a little- burlesque
vaudeville stunt with the fighting fire
man. The Job, however, lasts but two or
three months, but Ryan, In a letter to
the writer, confides that if Flynn wins
he Is to cop off a substantial bonus.
Tommy really seems sincere in his
belief that Flynn has a show with the
"big shine." and says the public will
be greatly surprised when the fight
takes place. The ex-mlddlewelght
champion will take his middleweight
candidate, Howard Morrow, to Utah or
Nevada with him this Summer, and
plans for a finish fight between Mor
row and the best middleweight to be
obtained, the fracas to be staged for
tte American title. Eddie McGoorty
outpointed Morrow in New Tork re
cently but the youngster showed very
well and the critics rather favor him In
a longer battle.

"Why cannot a left-handed batter hit
a left-handed pltcherT"
That's the question that has been
served up to the baseball expert ever
since the earliest days of the sport
when Atlas first practiced his knuckle
ball with the globe.
"Doc" White, the Chicago White Soi
southpaw, has an answer to the ever
lasting enigma. It s the simplest thing
In the world. When you were a kid
the majority of pitchers were right-
handed, weren't theyT Sure. And In
the leagues the majority are right
handers, aren't they? Sure.
"Well, that's the answer, and that's
all there is to it," declares White. "The
batters are not used to hitting the port
side shoots.
e
White says Ty Cobb was the easiest
thing In the league when be first broke
In, but now Ty gets to his offerings
Just as often aa to the right-hand heav
er
"It Is asserted that Vean Gregg, the
Cleveland southpaw, was the only man
who could serve up something that Ty
couldn't hit last season. This may be
true." continues "Doc," "but you can
gamble that if Gregg etays In the
American League very long Cobb will
be able to get him..
Ed Ashenback, one of the best-known
minor league baseball men In the cour
try, has been sent to the Long-view In
sane Asylum. He has tried to kill htm'
self several times of late while suffer
in ir lurid hallucinations. .
Christy Mathewson, whom Ashenback
sent to the Cincinnati Reds, and Grover
Cleveland Alexander are two star twirl
ers. who owe a lot to the unfortunate
diamond veteran. Ed managed Syra
cuse, where Alexander matriculated,
season before last. He has a host of
friends on the Coast who will grieve at
the news.
Every so often there bobs up a scare
Story chronicling the reported Illness of
Mike Murphy, the veteran Pennsylvania
trainer, who Is to have charge of t:.e
American squad of athletes at the
Swedish Olympiad. Someone would
have us believe that with the. veteran
coach in the sick ward Uncle Sam will
be lost, but the disseminator of the
stories evidently has a, totally wrong
opinion regarding Murphy's duties.
As a matter of fact his active duties
wtll not begin until near the middle
of June, when the American team Is
picked. The trials will be held
at San Francisco May IS. at Chi
cago, and the third at Cambridge,
Mas s. The. Eastern meet will not be
held until after the intercollegiate
championships, which are scheduled for
the last Saturday in May. Murphy's
work will not begin until the , men
board the ship and he has plenty of
time 'between now and June to regain
his full strength.
At least there Is little use In raising
the umbrella today for tomorrow's
fieshet.
