Sure to Stay New First and
Third Baseman and One
Other Outfielder Needed.
ET ROSCOE FAWCETT.
Even barring depletions of a possible
strike, the San- Francisco baseball club
will show some new faces next April
8. or thereafter. Wolverton Is not a
manager who believes In making sud
den or sweeping changes in hi, lineup,
but this year graduations and other
exegencies demand several changes.
Among other renovations the Seals
will show two new catchers, two or
three new pitchers, two new lnfielders
and at least one new outfielder.
Del Baker, Oregon boy, who has been
with Detroit for two or three years,
wuj oe an u ra,ncisco s rirsi catcner.
Brooks and Sepulveda are both to go,
it Is said authoritatively around the
bay. Baker's assistant is yet to be
named.
Steen Probably Tnrongh.
"Spider" Baum cannot lose out as
the pitching mainstay of the Seals. Ked
Oldham and Eric Erickson also ar
cure of their Jobs. Bill Steen probably
Is through. Bill owns an easy-going
disposition that is hard to deal with
in a city of many lobster palaces like
Ban Francisco. Steen seldom was of
much use to Portland when McCredie's
bunch was playing in San Francisco or
Oakland.
Wolverton will have to find an able
substitute for Johnny Couch, who will
be with Detroit this season.
In the infield Jerry Downs likely will
be again stationed at second and Roy'
Corhan at short. This leaves vacancies
at first base and at third base. San
Franciscans have It doped out that
Jones will be sent back by Detroit for
another year's seasoning. Walter Mc
Credie opines otherwise. The Portland
"manager declares that Detroit will not
be able to get Jones past the waiver
lines, as the Philadelphia Athletics are
strong for him.
In the outfield Justin Fitzgerald and
Biff Schaller are certain to start the
season. Fitzgerald is in good shape
again.
Ping Bodte May Return.
Some of the newspaper boys In San
Francisco go so far as to venture that
Ping Bodie will be with the Seals
again. Ping is involved in a salary dis
pute with Connie Mack, of the Ath
letics, who purchased his release last
Fall. Salary disputes usually loom
l.-irge and acrimonious in the Winter,
llodie doubtless will make his peace
with Connie Mack within another six
weeks, and in this event it will be up
to Harry Wolverton to procure another
heavy-hitting gardener.
Cravath is one whose name is fre
quently heard as the Italian's suc
cessor. One thing sure, the San Francisco
swatters will not have quite so easy
a time amassing large-sized batting
averages as heretofore. When the im
provements at the Valencia Park are
completed, the right-field fence will be
nearly 50 feet further from the home
plate than under the former arrange
ment. The plate will be moved not
the fence. Workmen are busy now
tearing down the old grandstand and
rearing a new structure further re
moved from the old first base.
WESTERN LEAGUE CHANGED
ETopeka Franchise Owner to Pick
New Town for His Clnb.
OMAHA, Jan. 15 John Savage, pres
ent owner of the Topeka baseball club,
of the Western League, will be allowed
to name the city that shall receive the
franchise which Is to leave Topeka.
This was decided by the clubownera'
meeting here this afternoon. Accord
ing to President F. C. Zehrung, Mr.
Savage Is now consulting with persons
in both Pueblo, Colo., and Hutchinson
Kan., with the prevailing sentiment
that Pueblo will secure the franchise.
Discussion of the players' salary limit
was then taken up.
The club owners tonight ordered
abandoned the clubhouses for visiting
players, which have been maintained
tsince the league was organized. It was
said the clubhouses tended to promote
"a too friendly" feeling among oppos
ing players and resulted in discontent
and In revolt against league rules. A
rule that a visiting team shall not ap
pear on the field earlier than 60 min
utes before the game was adopted, for
the announced purpose of discouraging
'fraternizing of players. " Club own
ers said it had been their experience
that about a month after opening of
the season "the knocking of the league
by the players got around to the fans
and caused decreased attendance."
AGGIES GO TO ETGEXE TODAY

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, Jan. 15. (Special.) Eight
members of the Oregon Aggie basket
ball squad will leave here tomorrow
for Eugene, wn ere they will meet the
University of Oregon quintet in the
first conference game of the season
Tuesday evening.
The way in which the university held
the strong Dallas five to a close score
last week is causing consternation in
the Aggie camp.
The men who will start the game for
the Aggies will be Sieberts and Fried
man at the forwards. Ray and Low as
guards, and either Blagg or Bissett at
the tossup. Phillips and Myers will be
the substitutes.

"In about four years the prime ob

Those in charge of baseball, or most
of them, have taken little interest in
the matter of building up a more at
