President of Northwestern League
Believes Philadelphia Team Is
in v. rt Position to Land
lit Top of Column.
Fielder Jones, president of the
Northwestern Baseball League, retired
from the prophet club yesterday and
re-entered the ranks of the prognosti
cators a few minutes later. Having
successfully "doped" out the winners of
the world's series last Fall, the Cub
White Soit duel at Chicago and the
Vernon-Portland series, which decided
the 1911 ownership of the Pacific Coast
pennant, Jones intended to retire on
his laurels. However, he could not re
sist the temptation Invited by the well
known strength of the Philadelphia
Athletics, and so he picked " Mack's
squad to win the American League flag
this coming season.
"It's a hard proposition for a man
to figure winners before the first ball
of the season-has been tossed." dclared
tho ex-manager of the . world's cham
pion White Sox, "but the Athletics
seem to be the one best bet tn the
major leagues thla season. Mack has
his 1911 team intact, there Is no rea
son to believe that his pitchers will
fail .him, and the team certainly is the
one which the American leaguers must
beat for the pennant.
"I would not attempt to pick win
stcrs in either the American or Na
tional leagues under ordinary circum
stances, for a man must know the
players in order to judge results. But
this is an exceptional case, with the
Athletics looming high above the other
teams in the league."
Claude Berry. Seal backstop, picks
Jess' Baker. ex-Spokane southpaw, who
drew a salary from the Chicago White
Sox last season, to prove the twirling
sensation of the Coast League season.
Baker has speed galore, according to
the training camp records, while his
"fob" bail is another valuable offering
In his repertoire.
v Now they say that something is the
matter with Paul Strand's arm. Strand
is ' the San Francisco southpaw who
found his way to the Coast via the
Spokane to Boston route. Early last
season Joe Cohn sold the 17-year-old
speeder to Boston, taking 12500 in cash
and promise of a similar amount, if the
lad made good higher up. He developed
a sore arm. did not work during the lat
ter part of tiie season, and was turned
over to San Francisco. Abe Kemp, of
the San Francisco Bulletin, writes that
Strand pitches like he has a kink in
his arm.
--r
Jackson, the new San Francisco first
sarker. Is a dead ringer for Charley
Moore, who played with Los Angeles
last aessnn. Not only do the men look
alike, but they say that their actions
on the diamond are almost identical.
Joe Cohn, the Spokane magnate of the
Northwestern League, expects to
strengthen his team with an infielder
from San Francisco. Who the man will
be will not be decided until all have
had a thorough tryout. "
Jack Tlghe. ex-manager of the Se
attle team, "gets his" every day or two
from the Puget Sound sport writers.
Kd Hughes. In commenting on the pre
valence of youngsters on the Seattle
squad, writes anent Tlghe's actions:
"Jack Tighe did not want to be bothered
with them, and the consequence was
that he shipped, good kids to the Twi
light league and held onto just dead
ones as Davidson and Cocash. who were
absolutely outclassed." Hughes is try
Ins to impress upon Dugdale and Man
ager Barry the necessity of working
In jtew talent.
