Howley really should have been a lawyer, for lie Is one of rh.e breexiest larrupera that ever strove for honors In the S.vnta Maria Conversation League. He doesn't deal In bragga docio; not at all. But he Is a bright fellow, and In his six years' flocking around the American Association cities has picked up a fund of hu morous anecdotes. "Frank Bower man? Sure, he played with me on the Indianapolis team." exclaimed How-ley In a confab with Walter McCredm today, over the strong man whom the Indians offered for Chadbourne lsst Winter. "A moose, that fellow." added How ley. "He was some 'Iron man.

Sinli is the man whom MiCredie characterises as of more value to him than Kuhn ir Murray of last year's catching staff. Howley always lilts In the proximity of the .250 mark and Is said to possess a steely whip. Ills pepper speaks for itself. "I found this 'Buck- O'Brien jou peak of and brought him from Brock ton.

"Watklns let him go to Kvnnsville that Summer and recalled trim in the Fall, and 1 caught him four names on our trip to Cuba that Winter. Three hits was the most the d.irk skinned boys got off O'Brien, and he won all four games. In HMD he and Davidson, were traded to the Boston Americans for Tom McCarthy, and Boston had him out at Denver last season. 'Buck' has a beautiful voice and drew- down 1100 a week on the Keith circuit this Winter as a mem ber of the Ked Sox ouarlot." Howley declares that Catcher Kelly, of St. I'aul. battery mate of the fa mous O'T.S'le, Is the greatest young backstop he ever saw and predicts that both youngsters will stick with Pittsburg. "Howling Dan' 'this sobriquet hav ing been bestowed upon the new ar rival by St- John of soothsaying fame) has never used shin guards In his life, but believes that ho will emulate other Coast catchers this year ns he has been bumped rather frequently. His hands havo come through the mill re mnrkahlv unscathed. - 1 Howley likely will bunk with Ches ter Chadbourne on the road trips this campaign, for the popular outfielder and Howley played together at In dianapolis for two seasons and are great chums.

NEW PITCHER QUIET LAD lit'iuor Hopeful More Thau 6 1'eot Tall, Weighs 183 Pounds and Is 2 5 Yt-ars Old Hp Has As sortment of Curves. BY P.OSCOK FAWi'ETT. SANTA MAI:i., Cat.. March 17. (Spe cial.) Billy Evans, the veteran Ameri can League umpire, says that a pitcher has reached the goal of his ambition when he has achieved the distinction of a no-hit game. Accepting Billy's ratios. Vern Hirsch. a young south paw who Is trying out with the Port land champions. Is considerably beyond the days of culdom, for HIrsch has al ready hgured in five no-hit encounters. The husky portslder. too, has set what is probably a new world's record four no-hit. no-run affairs in one sea son, that 1911. when his slabbing with the Auburn. Neb., club In the Class D Mink League, resulted In Cleveland's drafting him. His first hop Into glory occurred in yiltt when he broke into professional ball after several rea sons on the corner lots of Omaha. Two of Hlrsch's no-hit. no-run games In 1911 were twirled against the Falls City. Neb., team, managed .by H. L. Morgan, one ending In a 3-0 score and the other 4-l. Later he blanked Shenendoah. la., 4-0 and Clarlnda. la., 17-0. Auburn finished third behind Hunibol.lt and Falls City. Hirsch also fipured in two one-hit games. If there ever lived a more confident, yet quiet and unassuming lad, he has never shown up In the local camp. Hirsch doesn't see how Mac can pos sibly turn him down for he stands six feet, one Inch In height, weighs 183 pounds, and has reached that matured station of L'5 notches on the year log, when a man is supposed to profit by the knowledge gained by hard ex perience. Hirsch admits that he Is still a little shy on the experience, but says he has never had a sore arm and can sting the ball across with several different kinds of twists. "I have never had a sore arm. but I have had a tired one." said he the other day in a fanning bee with several of the other recruits, for be It known tha youngsters have not yet been admitted to the sacred Inner circles. "I twirled four no-hit games all right, last sea son, but bIbo I hold the record for gross bingles. 23 having been walloped off my delivery by Shenendoah one day at a picnic. I had pitched and won a game the day before, however, and was not right, so the memory of the slaugh ter doesn't hover about me like Banquo'a famous spook."

The fight was one of the best .held here In soma time HIRSCH HUSKY CHAP Two Biff Pianiond Events to Be Staffed In Coarse of First "At Home" of Champions of 1911 Coast I-cague Race. The Pacific Coast League pennant, emblematic of the triumph of Portland during the baseball season of 1911, will be hoisted over Portland's new hall park on .Wednesday, May 1, according to Judge W. W. McCredie, owner of the Portland franchise of the Coast League. This decision was made following request from the Beaver playejrs at Santa Maria that the pennant-raising ceremonies be performed before the eyes of Happy Hogan and the Vernon team, which battled stoutly neck and neck with the Beavers until the fag end of last year's race. The switch In the date of the flag unfurling, originally scheduled for April 1. the date of the season open ing in Portland, means that fandoni Is to have two big diamond celebrations In the first "at home" of the Beavers. The opening of the season, with the christening of the new baseball park, will afford the first attraction with the second feature, the May day pro gramme, celebrating the 1911 victory. Judge McCredie was In Portland yes terday, taking a trip to the new Vaughn-street baseball park. He was much impressed with the. progress of the work, and is confident that every thing will be shipshape lor the open ing of the season. "That automobile stunt is a dandy." commented the Judge. "The awarding of a Chalmers car to the best player in the league will Increaso Interest among the fans and Is sure to make a big hit with the players. I only hope that some Portland player earns the trophy." m "Bill Steen will stick with the Cleve land club for awhile." writes a Cleve land Loader correspondent from Mo bile. "Bill Is Just about the most fin ished product in the pitching line that the Cleveland club has ever taken South. Perhaps he will throw a shoe. You never can tell. But basing an opinion on what little he has shown to date and he has at no time ex tended himself one would say without hesitation that he looks, at least, to have the stuff." Tom Terrlll. writing in the Cleve land Leader, has the following to say of "Buddy" Ryan, the ex-Beaver: "Buddy Ryan handles the ball with an ease and cleverness which cannot es cape the eye of the spectator. He looks like a ballplayer and every movement conveys the impression of a finished diamond artist." They all pick Buddy to land a berth in the Nap outfield. Harrv Wolverton, ex-Oakland and New York Yankee manager, is having trouble with "Gabby" Street, according to reports from Atlanta. Street is not particularly Joyful about the switch from Washington to New York. Jimmy Byrnes boosts Happy Hogan's team in no uncertain language. He be lieves that Vernon will be stronger in every department this season. "I thought Hogan was kidding when he told me about his team." says Jim mv, "but after seeing his men out on the field 1 agreed with htm he has got a lot of good men. If you can tell anything about players in practice, Vernon will be a heap stronger. Ver non ought to be stronger in, every de partment pitching, catching, fielding and hitting." Hugh Fullerton, Chicago prophet, declares that he can't figure Detroit any better than third in the American League race. However, he has made some mighty poor guesses In recenx years and Hughey Jennings is not dis couraged. CALinVKLli WINS TK.VP PHIZE Gun Kxperls to Compete for New Trophy Beginning April 1.

' ' WE SPECIALIZE IN PICKING SEALS IS HERCULEAN "TASK Long Faces Danger of Letting Go of Some Recruits Who May Be Stars, FIGHT FOR PLACES SHARP Team Promises to Re Better at lint, Present StroiiRer Outfield, Faster Infield and Better Pitehers Than in 1911. PASO ROBLES, Cal., March 17. (Special.) Picking the 1912 Seals is going: to be the occupation in the next two weeks, not only of the men who are with the team at the sprinprs, but of the thousands of f;tns who are scattered over the Coast. And picking: the team isn't goins to be any easy task. Of course, as Lons says, there is no use to worry, fur the places will fill themselves, but there is always a chance to make a mistake, with an opportunity to releiise a Imll player who will later develop into a star. At the present time, just two weeks away from opening day, it looks as if the promise of the local management with reference to streriKthenini; the club are to be fulfilled. Both Lonpr and Mohler have predicted that in hittinc;. outfield, in speed and in pitch ing; the club will show an Improve ment. Better Iluttlns; Mxpected. The Seals' outfield will unquestion ably be many times stronger, and in battins the entire squad oujrht to show an upward tendency. The infield will work better than last season, and if the pitchers can develop, there's fro ing: to be one hot race, so far as Kan Francisco is concerned. , The first base lies between Bill Jackson and Sheely, the boji from Spokane. Sheely has been coming along; at a good clip, but the chances are that the more experienced Jack son will land the job. Jackson isn't a flashy player, but he is a steady and consistent worker, who never shirks and usually lands the ball. Kid Mohler will, of course, be with the club, but if this hoy. Joe Oedeon. keeps up his lick, Captain Kid is scheduled for an easy time of it. McArdle la Certainty. Harry McArdle is another certainty. McArdle Is one fielder who can be used in any position, but Lonif does not want to break up that combina tion around short, and if Corhan or someone else can fill the sfioes of Os car Vitt at third, McArdle will not be disturbed. Corhan is an easy fielder, one of the natural type of ballplayers. There will still be Altaian to consider, and Lon may decide to retain two utility iti fielders, in which case all the men mentioned will probably be seen in action at Recreation Park. Westmoreland will hardly do. At least he hasn't impressed the advance delegation with his ability, compared to that of the others. Davis, who came all the way from New York, is a prom ising: boy, who will likely be turned over to one of the Northwestern League Clubs in search of talent. Outfield Pull of C'loulern. It is in the outfield that Lons is going- to have a difficult task. Powell, Mundorff and Johnson are all showing well, particularly the last two named. Of the new men. Hartley and Mclvor haw been hitting the ball, and, while Hartley looks as if he miplit be slow on the basesA he ought to he a wonder ful clean-up hitter in the pinches. Then there li Tom Raftery, who ar rived the last -of the week, with a chance for Hartman Carr. It is possible that five outfielders will be held for a time to give a more thorough line on them, but the chances are that not more than one utility out- Five Tons of Gold Southern Pacific Electric Line Extension cov eiing lines to McM innville I).

I.OXG MAKES "F1XD OF &KASOX" (iedcoti, Seal Sliorlstop Recruit, Said to Be Wonderful. SAN' FRANCISCO. March 17. (Spe cial. I Touted as the greatest "find" thnt has been picked up in Coast League circles for several years past. ;edeon, the Sacramento busher, is prancing forth to a marked degree in the limelight at Paso Rohles. No less a judge of ballplayers than Manager Long is on the hand wagon boosting ledMin. In a recent letter Jto Cal Jlwing. Long covered two whole pages setting forth what a wonder Oedeon has proved himself. He says Gedeon is the hest-looking- youngster hp has looked over in years.
