BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. PORTLAND TRAIXIXG CAMP. Sac ramento, Cal., March 16. (Special.) Cullen. Guisto . and Clark these loom up as the most promising of the small army of non-major recruits trying out with tho Portlana Beavers under Sac ramento's sizzling sun. Jimmy Clark, erstwhile Vancouver pitcher, and Cullen, a young outfielder, who looks like Rollie Zeider. are al ready in camp, and Guisto will be here tomorrow, playing first base for St. Mary's College. . ... The collegians will tackle the Beav ers tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday, and Graduate Manager Mervin Nevis. here today, believes his youngsters are due to surprise the big leaguers. According to Nevis, it's going to take a team of oxen to keep this fellow Guisto off the regular squad. GulHto In Bis and Fast. "He is one of the greatest all-around athletes the Coast has ever seen." rhapsodized the St. Mary's official, en thnKiasticallv. "Mind you. Guisto weighs 205 pounds now in first-class condition and runs the 100-yard aasn on nnr track team in 10 1-5 seconds. He is the fastest big man I have ever seen. He is a remarkable baseball and football player. For two years he was chosen an all-star rugby player and last Fall, when St. Mary's went back 1o the American game, Guisto played halfback and was a wonder. Against California in the historic 10-9 game, tiuisto made two touchdowns for St. Mary's, but one was disallowed because he is said to have stepped across a sideline. Guisto is just as good in the out field as he is at first base and I am willing to stake everything on his making good on this Portland club." To prove his faith in the big Italian. Nevis has wagered a dinner with Wal ter McCredie that Guisto will garner - six hits in the three games coming up. Ljle Biebee Swot Fiercely. Today's dual workout morning and afternoon developed another interest ing morsel of faith, hope and charity to-wit, .that Walter McCredie hopes to transform Lyle Bigbee, his Univer ' sitv of Oregon pitching phenom, into an -outfielder. Bigbee hurt his salary flipper in the Oregon-Oregon Aggie football game last Fall. Brewer. Billie ran into him like a ton of pigiron and nut h. knuckle on his right shoulder- and it is still bothering him. Bigbee has surely been "sloughin' " the ball durine: batting practice, however, and McCredie is nurturing a. hunch that Bigbee will develop into a slugging gardener under proper hot-housing. He knocked two balls over the right field fence today during batting prac tice. None of the Beaver absentee reported for work today and the bunch on hand sailed through the usual preliminaries batting, bunting, fielding and a run around the park. LuKh Shoivs Oldtlme Form. Trainer Clough massaged a slight fcink, out of Johnny Lush's left shoul der this morning and from the way the veteran worked after lunch it would not surprise anybody to see him out -there April 4 in the opening game Vgainst San Francisco. Higginbotham has worked the last three openers. Cullen, the young Santa Rosa out fielder who looks sweet to Manager McCredie, has a dandy pair of legs un der him and seems to have a good eye in the outfield. Whether he possesses the necessary offensive punch remains to be proved. Jimmy Clark and the big Indian, 1avl Fmith, will do the twirling for the Beavers tomorrow against St. Mary's. Smith lives at Healdsburgr. north of .San Francisco. He had a tryout with Frank Chance at Chicago four or five years ago and spent half a season at the Cubs' farm at Louisville. Ky. Haworth and Bartholemy likely will do the backstopping; Quinn will be at first: Carson Bigbee and Derham at second and short, and Stumpf at third. Southworth, Cullen and Lyle Bigbee will round out the horticultural corps. Mickey La Longe, former Beaver catcher, worked out today with his former tillicums. Mickey jumped Buf falo last Fall for the Brooklyn Feds. Now he is worrying about his 2800 ko peks due for two years to come. He has- no idea where he is due to play this season. OAKLAND TEAM NOW SHAPING 3Iiddleton' Joins Squad and Is In Good Shape as Are Teammates. . BOYES SPRINGS. Cal.. March 16.

SEALS MAY FORM CATCHERS Machold, Rook and Chase, of New Pitchers, All Promising. SAN JOSE. Cal.. March 16. (Special. Already is Harry Wolverton debating with himself as to what he will do with some of his promising youngsters, particularly the catchers, Harwood and O Krien. The. Northwestern League clubs -would like to be rated a "farm" fo Pan Francisco and Wolverton hope to ship some of the excess talent into the northland. Maohold and Dutch Rock will prob nbly fight it out to be retained perma nently as a member of the pitchin crew.

In the last inning Moreland relieved Munsell in the box when, with three men ahead of him, Bert Hall smashed out a home run. driving in the winning runs. . Tom Hughes and Blankenship did the batterv work for the picked team and Blank says the Lone One is just as fast as when the two were the bat tery with the Washington Americans. The teanv lias been grinding out two strenuous practices daily since Monday and the men are beginning to round to form. Vann, the catcher obtained from the Three-I League, looks good and is be ing figured on as one of the regular string catchers. Mullens, the Texas League southpaw, arrived last night and was out with the crew today. Thompson and Eldred, infielders. and Owen, the left-handed twirler of the Modesto Reds, are showing great stuff, and Blank considers them real finds. Nutt, the outfielder, tore a ligament in his knee while turning first base in today's game and the injury may lay him up for the season. Olson, a recruit pitcher, has been released, as he is figured too slow and raw for class AA work. PEORIA TO BE AXGELi FARM Jack Ryan Starts "Well lor Seraphs in Training Cauip.

Nick Williams arrived in Portland Inst niirht from his apple orchard near Hn,irf niver. where he has been for ahoi.t eitrht months. He went there right after he resigned from the Coast League's umpiring stall in me iiuuuie of last season. Nick signed a month ago to manage the Spokane club of the Northwestern League, .and his mission in Portland is to get in touch with some of the players who are to report at the In land Empire metropolis April 1. The former leader of the Portland Northwestern Leaguers is supposed to be in Spokane next Monday to go over the situation with President F. C Farr, but will be one day late, as he will be unable to leave Portland until Monday evening on account of having much business to attend to here. Spokane Picked to Win. "Who will win the pennant in Northwestern circuit?" was asked veteran' last ..night. "Spokane, course," came 'the prompt reply. the the of "I eviiect to have a tougn jod on my hands, however. Farr has only one or two holdovers, having sold or disposea of every other member of last season's runner-up. Farr has several players signea ior the r.omlnc: campaign whom Williams doesn't know.

Most nf the foregoing players are known personally by the blonde leader, and the others have been recommended to him or he has a good line on tneir former records. l-'rtdie Kotrart. last season a star on the Piedmont Maroons of the Portland City League, may also fret a chance with Spokane. Mnst nf the players on Williams present list are semi-professionals, and no one realizes more man tne new In dian boss himself what work it will mean to build up a strong nine from that kind of material. President Farr. of the Indians, may have some seasoned players signed about whom Nick, has not heard. Out of the youngsters Williams expects to pick enough play ers, with the few seasoned performers, to make up a machine whiclwill al wavs be in the running. "Walter McCredie may sell US' or turn over to us some of the players on his present roster who will not be ripe for Coast League company. If my ma chine starts slipping.
