BY HOSCOE FAWCKIT.
Oakland will have a plethora, of in
fielders, for 1313. Judging from the ac
tivity Tylt:r Christian has been display
ing within the pat fortnight.
Thus far Christian has 1U on his ros
ter as follows:
Ness and Gardner, first base: Marcan.
Manda and Dowllng. second base: Al
cock. Menges and Guest, shortstop:
Lindsay and Lltschi, third base.
The new infielders are Marcan, pur
chased from Birmingham of the South,

year with Decatur in tho Three-Kye
League: Alcock. Chicago . White Sox;
Ltndsav, secured In trade for Murphy
from New Orleans of Southern league;
l.ltschi. secured in trade for Iletling
from Venice.
Another infield possibility is Koerner.
purchased from Topeka of the Western
League. Koerner is said to be an er
ratic first sacker. however, and un
doubtedly will bo utilized mostly in the
outfield. ' , ,, . V
Oakland's outfield shows Middleton,
Koerner. Gardner and Daniels.
Marcan. the newest infield acquisi
tion, captained Birmingham last year,
'tis said, and Walter McCredie claims
be is a sweet ballplayer. Marcan
wanted to come to Portland and Mack
tried to get him. Walter Doane played
in the Southern League against him in
1911 and he says Marcan is a right
handed batter and a dandy fielder.
He batted .260 last yeatin 153 games.
Hole 39 sacks and led the league's sec
ond basemen in fielding at .967.
Bill Lindsay, the old Beaver favorite,
batted only .248 at N:w Orleans last
year.
Manda. another of the recruits, was
drafted from Decatur by Chicago last
Fall. He batted .260 in the Class B cir.
cuit- - .
Alcock's case Is a bit snarled up and
there is a chance that Oakland may not
secure him. Perhaps that is why Man

infielders. Alcock was supposed to
