Him an Outfielder.
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.

Though Middleton was late in re

Thompson and Eldred, infielders. and
Owen, the left-handed twirler of the

Byron Houck and Owen Quinn played
against each other in the junior n eu
eral League Colonial circuit, we be
lieve it was early last season. Quinn
jumped to the New York State League,

whence wait jixieuic ji a. i.... .......
He hit .289 in the Colonial and .347 In
the New York State. Houck says ne is
a Kood hitter, although not an extra
base artist, and is possessed of plenty
of pepper.
Eight of tho Beaver squad were for
mer stars or satellites of the North
western League. Houck broke in at
Spokane in 1911 and was sold to the
Philadelphia Americans. ,u;
brief trial with San Francisco three or
four years ago and was sent to Spo
kane for seasoning. Spokane sold him
to Boston and after a year above he
was sent back to Spokane. Clark and
Harstad are proteges of Bob Brown's
Vancouver club. Portland secured
Ward from Tacoma last Fall, whence
he was lent by Aberdeen after the
Black Cats hit the financial rocks last
Summer. Haworth broke prominently
into organized ball with the Beavers
two years ago and was sent to Vic
toria by McCredie under an optional
contract. Mack sold him in the Fall
to Cleveland; he had a brief trial with
the majors; broke his leg, came home
and has now landed back at his start
ing point. Another ex-Northwest
Leaguer is Bill Speas, who has been
alternating between the Portland Coast
and B leagues for many years back.
And, last but not least, away back in
the dim and distant past Irve Higgin
botham pitched for Aberdeen long
enough to draw a railway ticket to
the majors. Higg has been pitching
either in the majors or in the AA
leagues ever since.
m
Lou Smith, the young Indian pitcher
who came down from Healdsburg, Cal.,
for a whack at professional pitching,
presents rather a forlorn picture. Smith
is a quiet fellow and as he does not
wish to appear obtrustive he. eats his
meals alone and keeps his own coun
sel most of the time. The red-skinned
slabster is not a full-blood buck. He
comes from the Clear Lake tribe. Smith
