14 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 29, 1913. M'CREDIE THINKS 4 WILL HOLD PLACES Beaver Manager Picks Agnew, Miller, Berger and Daley to Stay in Majors. OTHERS HAVE GOOD CHANCE Brown, Hawter, Mttze, Klawitter, Leverenx and Orr Rated High Gedeon Thoug-ht Too Twang to Stick, While Patterson 111. BY ROSCOB FAWCETT. Eleven Pacific Coast Leaguers will make a bid. tor major berths this Spring and the following four are sure to stick, in the Judgment of Manager McCredle. of Portland: Catcher Agnew. of Vernon, drafted by St. Louis Americans. Pitcher Miller, of San Francisco, op tion by Chicago Americans. Infielder Berger, of Los Angeles, op tion by Chicago Americans. Outfielder Daley, of Los Angeles, traded to Philadelphia Amerloana, McCredie considers each of the four the best in his respective sphere and, while he believes three or four of the others have a fighting chance, the quartet looks best to his managerial eye. "Agnew Is unquestionably superior to either Brown or Howley," said Mac yesterday at headquarters, In a fan ning bee. "Mitze, of Oakland. Is per haps as good a receiver as Agnew. He is not as rosy a major league prospect, however, because Agnew is a comer. 'Klawitter and Leverens are both good pitchers." added the Beaver boss, "and both may Btlok. but this fellow "Bullet" Miller had It on them all last year and I think he will prove a reg ular on the Whltesox hurlsmlth stafT. "Only two lnflelders went up, Orr. of Sacramento, and Berger. of the Angela Orr finished the year strong and may develop rapidly, as he Is yet only a kid, but on past performance Berger has It on him. "Patterson, the Oak outfielder. Is ill. I understand, and will not.be In shape to play his best at St. Louis. Daley is a much better all-around player, any way. Gedeon, the youthful Seal prod igy, Tho goes to Washington, has been highly touted and may perform sensa tionally. One can never tell about kids. For me. though. I wouldn't trade young Cunningham for Gedeon today. Cunningham may have fin ished the season with me last Fall away over his head, but he surely did look good." , The announcement that President Baum. of the Coast League, may act the part of the Trojan. Paris, and shoot a poisoned barb Into the heel of Port land's lone umplrical Achilles, Perle Casey, caused endless gossip about the streets yesterday. The veteran Beaver second sacker made good In his first year with the Indicator, at least on the borne grounds, and there'll be considerable howling If President Baum cuts him adrift. Baum has seven men on the list now. McCarthy, Finney. Bush. Held, Pfyle. Newhouse) and Casey, and has announced that either Newhouse or Casey must go. A man, well Informed on the Coast situation. Intimated yesterday that a personal difference between Baum and Casey Is at the bottom of the squall. However, local friends of Casey's are confident that he will weather the eliminations. In which case It will be Newhouse for the dumpheap. Bill Pfyle, the latest umpire recruit signed by Baum, Is well known to old Coast League fans. He has a strain of Chippewa Indian blood in his veins and is said to be the only Indian in the umpire ranks. He played third base for San Francisco back In the days when Notdyke held down first and Danny Shay short and when Hilde brand wore a suit in the outfield. Mc Credie Jumped Minneapolis for the Oakland Outlaw State League In 1902, the same year Pfyle Jumped St. Paul for Pan Francisco. "Pfyle is a hot-headed, fighting sort of a fellow." ruminated McCredie yes terday. "I remember well the battle between Pfyle and Raymer at Los An geles. Raymer tried to score on a hit to the outfield and as he passed third Pfyle tripped him. Raymer scored all right, but tore back, bellow ing like a bull, and the two of them went at It hot and heavy In the third base coaching box until the police In terfered." Pfyle. like Newhouse, was a boxer of renown In his younger days. He has been umpiring In the East for two or three seasons. Schuls. the Philadelphia pitcher bought by Sacramento, has been play ing Winter ball around San Diego. Schuls was offered to McCredie, of Portland, but Mao decided In favor of the left-hander, Stanley. Schuli is a college boy. McCredie's billiard headquarters will move from the accustomed stand on Sixth street, between Washington and Alder, to tho Yeon building about March 1. The baseball Mecca will be located on the second floor. Bill Sweeny, second baseman of the Boston Nationals, asked Sa Hera, a ralndreader at a Cincinnati theater, where the Boston club would finish. "I can tell you." answered Ea Hera, "but I hate to." A Plnte Indian has been offered to Henry Berry, of the Los Angeles Coast ers, but - Berry has declined with thanks. The Indian's name Is Sals and he is located near Bishop, CaL Happy Hogan has Intimated several times down South that he holds an op tion on Catcher Thomas or Catcher Nunamaker. of the champion Red Sox. He Is mistaken, for Stahl says both will be retained In 1913. Anyway Ho. van would have a barrel of trouble getting either one ont of the league. George Parker, well-known Portland baseball, turf and boxing enthusiast, without whom no Multnomah Club smoker would be complete, is In re ceipt of a letter from Roger Peckln paugh. erstwhile Beaver shortstop, telling Mm of an addition to his fam ily. Peck. Junior, Is a baby boy and Connie Mack is said to have scouts looking him over. Roger doesn't know whether he will play at Cleveland or at New Tork or In the bushes this sea son.

The Multnomah teacher brought both his proteges, Knowlton and Derby shire, back with him.

He complained of being ill and then I took him to a physician and he informed me he was ill. This boy McAllister, the 165 -pounder who heat Derbyshire, is a clever, haTd-hitting fellow, but It was Derby's bad nose that caused me to throw in the towel rather than his In ability to weather the three rounds." McAllister Is booked for a return bout with Miebus in Portland next March. He gained a hairline decision over Miebus at Los Angeles several weeks back in the Pacific Coast cham pionships.
