KID MOHLER PICKS
VILLAGERS TO WIN
Oakland Out of It, in View of
Captain of San Fran
cisco Aggregation.
HEAVY HITTING IS FACTOR
McCmdK', Speedy Pitcher. De
clare Mohler. Will Sot Offset
Effectively- ThK Feature.
Bar Clir Baseball Talk.
SAX FRANCISCO. Cal- 6pt. 1.
(Special Captain Kldd Mohler. of th
Keals. Is out wt'.h an opinion favoring
Happy Koran' Vernon Villager to
beat oat th Bavr for pnnant hon
or la th Coast League. Th Kid ng
an. It oat that th heavy hitting- of
Vernon coupled with th fact that Ho
iib'i men play th hit-and-run -
reedlugly wall will enabl them to
maintain their present leal.
-Two weelia aco I thought Oakland
waa th likely team to catch and beat
. oat th Beaver declared Mohler. "bat
Happy team ha com fait and Wol
verton' crew haa seemingly dropped
back. I look for Vernon to win th
pennant. Portland haa a grand staff of
pitcher bat they are lacking aomewhat
la pepper and If anything goea against
them I look for them to auffer.
Tha Seals, of course, are oat of It
a far a this season la concerned. W
were CP In the race for a time, bnt I
tell you th Seals missed Bodt a lot
mora than moat people Imagine. I waa
hoping agalnat hop that Ping would
scare the draft for he would B
been th mainstay of oar club this -on.
A club with a clean-up hlttr
Is a big factor to any aggregation. Mo.
Credl evidently realises of how muc
value Buddy Ryan 1 to hi club, and
th Oaks have some clean-up sluggers
who made the team. The Seals have
nt had a reliable man all season for
the fourth plac In th batting order
and w have lost gam after gam
because of that very reaon."
Parttaad Crwaad Blamed
Kid Mohler haa a version all hi own
relative to th reason the Portland
pitchers are so ftecttv on thlr own
ground.
"The Portland grounds ar without
doubt the hardest on th batters not
used to there of any In tho league.""
declare the Kid. "The advertisement
sign on th fences ar trying on th
eye and the ground 1 about the color
of a baseball after It haa been soiled.
It Is awful hard to follow a low ball
and th Portland pitcher ar en to tho
fart and keep the ball right around
the knee a deal of the time. The amok
also Is bad. and I would sooner go to bat
In any park In th country than at
Portland.'
Poet lian ge-rteal Hi ibid.
A scheme has originated here, to have
an all-atar big league team play a poet,
series with tti winner of th Paclflo
roast League. The plan ar to gather
eu-h players aa Puffy Lewis. Gregg,
Hal Chase. Walter Johnson. Rube Ellis.
Hooper. Bodl and other stars who
winter on the Coast and tackle th
pennant winner. It I proposed that
a week's aerie b played In Saa Fraa
riaco and a week In Portland or Lo
ngelee. wherever the pennant ao hap
pens t' fly- The play haa taken with
.ome favor her and may b definitely
arranged If all parties ar willing.
Tkree Player -la BaeV"
It I well-known around th San
Francisco park that Harry Sutar.
Hunky Shtv and Tommy Tennant ar
"In bad- with th local management.
Not one of tho trio haa been playing
anything like Clssa A ball during th
peat several weeks and It la whispered
around that they are due for a cbaag
of acenery. A man connected with th
association had th following to ay
concerning th trio.
-Manager Long I getting disgusted
with Harry Suter. Th big southpaw
does not seem to poeaoea th heart and
head to make a good pitcher, although
he haa everything a successful slab
ster should want. Tommy Tennant haa
gon all to pieces. He can't hit a bal
loon and haa been shoved down In th
batting order nest to tho pitcher, which
la not the p. ace for a first sack sr. Shaw
Is too Indifferent to be considered. Ha
la sort of Insurrecto and play ball
on theory rather than on the field."
It la quite evident that they ar
charter member of th -in-bad" club,
feleasaa Ileal Pre sale.
Oleaaon. the Portland high school
catcher, picked up by Harry Wolver
ton. la working out dally with tha
Oaks and shows eora promise. Wol
vortoa declare that tha lad la th most
promising backstop ha haa n la
yaaxa aad be Intends to hang on to tha
boy for awhile.
Mnsrl Oat fee Keep.
It Is almost an assured thins; that
Harl Mags-art will not be seen la ac
tion la tho Coast League again this
aeesen. If ever. Th troublesome tar
of Wolverton outfield ha been work,
rng out dally, keeping tn condition, but
he ha waited la vain for th word
to Jump Into tha fray, Manager Wol
verton has given op all hop of tam
ing Maggart and haa Intimated that th
suspension will last until th clos of
th aeason. In Patterson. Soy. Hoffman
aad Zacher the Oaks have plenty of
outfield material and can get along
without Maggie.
Bals lie te Keep Weaver.
San Francisco la hanking Its hope
on retaining Weaver for next season.
Although the sensational youngster has
been recalld by the Chicago White
sox. Danny Long has written to Comls
key and hopes to get the Ofd Roman
to let the younrster stick another sea
son In th minor. Long declare that
Weaver needs a lot of training at bat
and In team work and It would b to
t'-.o lad' advantage to stick here. While
tMs Is Joyful tidings to local fans Buck
Weaver was In disgrace the first part
of the week. He heaved away the
opening game with Oakland and all
toid plied up 11 error In seven games,
since he got back In the game after

Cobb, Lajoie and Wagner Humiliated
by Pitchers.
Those discussing the relative merit
of the big league batsmen, Ty Cobb.
Larry Lajoie and Hans Wagner, can
no longer remark In any argument
against Cobb that the world's great
est ballplayer has been fanned three
times in one game while Lajoie and
Wagner never underwent that torture.
Manning, who used to pitch for the
New York Highlanders, set down Ty
rus three times In a game played In
New York. That was some time ago.
Still Wagner and- Lajoie never ex
perienced th same displeasure until
two weeks ago, and a peculiar coinci
dence was that both Larry and Han
fanned three times on the same after
noon. George Suggs, former Tiger, pitch
ing for Cincinnati, handed It to Hans,
while Ed. Walsh, who won fame this
season by pitching a no-hlt, no-run
game, struck out Larry In three out
of four times at bat. :
WALSH HURLING MARVEL
WHITE SOX PITCHER HAS TOX.
DERTCTj RECORD OX SLAB.
Recent No-Hit Game Causes Talk
- That He Should Get Auto as
Man Helping Team Most.
Big Ed Walsh, of the Chicago White
Sox Is tha latest man to claim the
spotlight In th discussion among th
fan as to who will reoelv the Chal
mers trophy this year. Laat year Mr.
Chalmers offered an automobile to the
leading batter. Everyone remember
the close race between Ty Cobb and
Larry Lajoie.
This year It has not been confined to
batter, but the award Is to be given
to the player in the National and the
player In the American League who,
in the opinion of the committee of 11
newspaper men, has done th best
work for his team.
The great work of Walsh when he
let down the Boston Speedboys with
out a single hit. has brought to the at
tention of the fans and critics every
where the wonderful record which the
big fellow has been making for him
self with the White Sox.
WTille this Is the nrst game in which
Walsh has not allowed a hit, ha has
come very near to this record several
time before. In 1806, the year in
which he was so largely- responsible
for the world's championship won by
the Sox, he pitched two games In
which only one hit was made off him
one against Cleveland and the other
against Boston.
These particular performances of
Walsh, however, are only a few of the
many remarkable things which he his
done. His great strength and wonder
ful ability to come into a game with
practically no warming up makes him
very valuable to the White Sox. When
ever any of the other pitcher have
begun to show weakness, Walsh Is the
man who Is always called upon to res
cue the game. Moreover, he can take
his turn regularly every other day
without apparently losing his strength.
Among the other American League
players who have been most favorably
mentioned for tho Chalmereftrophy are
Ty Cobb, of the Tigers; Eddie Col
lins. Bender and Coombs, of the Ath
letics, and Speaker of the Boston Red
Sov; Jackson and Gregg, of Cleveland,
and Ford, of New Tork.
Manager Stovall, pf the Naps, has
served notice that none of his men will
be allowed to play on an all-star team
this Fall to give the American League
champions practice in preparation for
the world's series. - The Naps are ex
pecting to play a post-season aeries
with th Reds, for the championship
of Ohio.
Johnny Kllng tried to unnerve Marty
O'Toole In his first game when he
faced the Beaneaters, but he failed.
Kllng- has generally 'been successful
In times past In rattling opposing
players, and getting their attention off
the game as he did with Ty Cobb In
the first world's series between the
Cubs and the Tigers.
A report from Boston saya that next
Spring there is a strong possibility that
Trls Speaker, the demon clouter of the
Red Sox, will bo converted Into a nrst
aacker; that Is, the conversion will be
attempted. Might not be a bad move at
that. With Harry Hooper, Duffy Lewis
and the sensational Olaf Henriksen In
the suburbs and Speaker on first, the
Boston offense would not be weakened.

The latest statistics compiled for the
big leagues show that the two old re
liables. Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb,
are still leading the race for batting
honors in their repectlve leagues. The
Pittsburg shortstop has an average of
.860 and the Detroit wizard tops the
Junior league with the magnificent
figure of .420.
The "Flying Dutchman" of the Pirate
ship has but one man ahead of him.
He is Jackson, of Boston, who has par
ticipated in only 81 games. Lajoie keeps
up his wonderful batting, running a
good second to Cobb, with .406.
The batting average bring out a no
ticeable point in comparing the two
leagues. The National has 20 men
hitting in the select "300" class, while
tho American boasts of more than SO
players who are sapping th pill above
the .299 mark
New York and Pittsburg sire tied for
club batting honors, with Cincinnati
following and Chicago next. Detroit
leads the Americana In this respect,
with Philadelphia a close second.
Marquard, of New York, and Works,
of the Tigers, are th leading pitchers.
Gregg's present record is 22 victories
and seven defeats. Ho is next to Chief
Bender, whose record Is' 16 won and
five lost.
