SEATTLE. Wash.. April . (Special )
Nine davs more and the Northwestern
League season will be under way.
Portland offerln the attraction In Se
attle, Victoria In Spokane, and Tacoma
In Vancouver. Vancouver Is figured as
the strongest club tn the circuit, which
lB natural considering the fact that It
won the pennant last year and Is re
ported to be fully as strong, possibly
stronger. In the eyes of the wise ones
this leanlnc towsrd V.ncoiiyfr is
urengthrned by the statement of Pres
ident Brown, that his team looks guod
enough to finish first or aecond.
Portland Is figured aa a better com
bination. It should hove been a con
tender last year, because the speed and
hitting ability was there. Along the
fag end of the season Nick Williams
rot the results he was after and he
closed like a whirlwind. If Nick has
Improved on his combination, and he
certainly has had the support of Judge
McCreule. Seattle will be up against
a stiff proposition at the start.
There la an Inclination around the
rlrcult to belittle the chances of the
Seattle Giants. I think this Is a mis
take, although It Is true that the de
velopment of team work has been re
tarded. I hope this statement will not
be misconstrued. I am not claming
that Seattle will win the pennant or
finish tn the first three. I simply wish
o convey the idea that Jack Barry has
. good material and If things go fairly
well he will put a team In the field
that will compare favorably with the
Mhers.
Aretaeats Mart Team.
Despite the hard work done by Bar
ry's siuad. It Is Impossible to speak
aa definitely as one would desire. Ac
cidents have prevented the contlnuoua
development of the team as a whole.
The situation will become clear to
a fair-minded person when It Is known
that In the outfield Crulckshank has
been compelled to drop out on account
of a bad knee, and Altman is handi
capped by a bad arm and trouble with
hla legs. Moran. Mann and Slldello
have been the only outfielders that Bar
ry has had a chance to watch regularly.
In the Infield. Kaymond has a bad neck
owing to an operation. Chlch did not
get Into the game until three or four
days ago. owing to a lame arm. and
Slner Is still under the weather with a
wrenched back and lumbago.
Dulln has done well at third. McMul
lln has fielded nicely, but of necessity
has been switched from third to sec
ond to short, and Weed has played
Brut In his usual reliable style. The
tact remains, however, that the Infield
has not been settled and will not be
for a little time. The material Is there
for a good Infield, but It would be mere
guff tosay that Barry had been given
a fair chance to sift out and conrmence
the polishing.
haaae Ine Thla Week.
The coming week may bring decided
development, thus Increasing the op
portunity for a better slie-up. but I
should not be surprised to see the Se
attle Infield a trifle unsettled In the
enr'.v stases of the season. Dulln looks
like'a fixture at third: Raymond Is all
risht at shO'rt. If his breath does not
fst. him. and Slner looks like a first
class secondrsacker. but Just now he
ilo.s not dare make a quick move.
Thrre will be little trouble behind
the bat. Shea, Wolly and DeVogt prom
ising good work.
Seattle has usually been weak In the
pltrher-s boi, but there Is a fair pros
pect of better conditions this coming
season. President Dugdale dug up a
lot of new material and some of It
looks most promising. James. Schneid
er. Mclvor and Pullerton are strong
contenders for the regular staff. Bar
renkamp probably will give some of
those mentioned a hot run for place,
while there Is no telling where Vance
will land. The big fellow has not real
ly let out yet. and his record shows
that he has done excellent work In the
Virginia League. Ingersoll. the most
recent addition to the list, has much to
commend him to the attention of Barry.
The squad now numbers 26 men,
larger than Barry wants to carry, in
fact It Is too expensive for a minor
league club, but until the players re
cover from sickness and Injuries It will
be difficult to cut down.
It la not surprising that Cohn la hav
ing trouble finding a satisfactory first
baseman. Times have changed since the
auardlan of the Initial corner filled the
bill If he could catch a ball thrown Into
his banda and clout somewhere around
.J00. Seattle can sympsthlxe with Cohn
tn his predicament as many have come
and gone since Lee Magee held down
the position In sensational style on tha
pennant-winning aggregation of 10.
rdvke Still Waader.
Lou Nordyke was more to the Spo
kane Infield than appeared on the stir,
face. It Is possible that he Is a trifle
slower than he was In the days of the
Tacoma Tigers, when I considered him
a better first baseman than Hal Chase,
who was with Los Angeles, but he ts
still a wonder. No other player In the
pacific Northwest can equal him In
handling thrown balls of all kinds. His
ability In this direction makes an or
rtinarv Infield look fast, because Nor
dyke Inspires confidence In all the oth
er Inflelders. They put their mind on
getting the ball and then let It go with
out even stopping to take aim. Oet
arywher near the target and Nordyke
H' remitter the out.
Howard Mundorff. of last year's Port
tar.l i lu'.i. matle a wonderful record as
a sl.ortstop for Vancouver when Nor
.'yke was playing first for that team,
lie went to an Krunclsco ana reports
con rr.enred to come north about his
erratic throwing. This seemed odd
Klnaiiv MumiornT remarked: "Well.
Nor.iyke made my reputation In Van
rourr. I J:ist let the ball go and he
uhvv sot It.
srokane will Indeed be fortunate If
they find a man who can fill Nordyke's
shoes. Another point about Nordyke Is
that lie usually closej the season as a
iron rlnan-up hitter. If the records
vr-re locked up It would be found that
-hen Vancouver won the Northwestern
:.ampt"nst:lp under Owner Dickinson.
Nordyke was right In the swim with
Pat F!anaan and Ham Hyatt as a
drtver-ln of runs at critical points. I
do not rare to make any suggestions
from hioi. but he deserves some credit I
to why Cohn let xoruya get away
for giving Lou a chance to see what ha
can do as the manager of the Victoria
club.

BASEBALL TRAINING HIT

COACH, lUPS 5rCR.UV.
Rule W hich Allow Players to Smoke
and Inibllic Liquor Are De
clared Big MUtakc.
VNIVERSITT OF WASHINGTON,
Seattle. April . ltpeclaL) Attack
ing the. baseball coarhl'ng system of
John McOraw. of the New York Giants.
Coach H. B. Conlbear. one time train
er of the Chicago White Sox. declares
that the lax training rulos. permitting
men to smoke and boose Increase the
size of the. squad, lower the wages of
high-class players and add hundreds of
dollars to the team expenses.
Conlbear. trainer under Fielder Jones,
took the White Sox when thoy were
In seventh place and tied the world
core for successive games, winning 22
In a bunch. He trained the first West
ern lntercolleglatei football team f9)
Chicago ever had and conditioned the
only Illinois ele.ven that ever defeated
Chicago. He says:
"Most Injuries happen to men when
their energy or vitality Is low. Ed
Walsh was the only ball player I ever
saw who was In good physical condi
tion fr playing ball. I have my doubts
If McOraw was ever In the best phy
sical condition that a good trainer
could put him In.
"I think Vctraw Is right In saying.
L them eat what they want." but he
certainly left out the most Important
points, regularity at meals and eating
only at meal time. They should eat
breakfast between 7 and 8:30 A. M
lunch 11:J0 A. M. to 1 P. M.. and dinner
from I to I P. M-. and eat only at that
tlmex
"MfOrsw doesn't stop them from
smoking, or, as he says, any other
little habits that they have, but lets
them live naturally and develop phy
sically at the same time.
"Foolish talk! How can a man live,
naturally, smoke, chew and drink, and
develop physically? They are all un
natural elements that come Into a man's
system and they have absoluteJy no
place tn the developing of a man for
physical and mental alertness such as
a bsll player neexls.
.Mclraw looks for speed first In the
feet. I think he Is wrong. The first
thing to look for Is speed in the head,
for speed In legs can be developed,
but that In the head Is burn, not made.
He claims a pitcher or a catcher does
not need the speed of other men. I
believe a pitcher should be as fast. If
not faster than any man on the team.
A quick starter, very clever in handling
himself and a man with wondrous
ability to feslst fatigue, is the only
pitcher, for he must have continual
speed tn arm and leg.
"I- have seen ball playera put on
their uniforms, go out In the field to
practice, play ball and work hard for
about 20 minutes, and then all the re
maining two hours stand around and
let the muscles become set. making
them stiff and slow. Then Just, before
they went in or quit for the morning
they would go around the field once
or twice, aa they said, for the wind.
Well. If they ran or moved fast enough
to affect their wind they were cer
tainly 1n no condition to play baseball.
"It Is not the length of time that is
most Important In training, but it Is
what the team does, and the system
used. I think the following would be
a good system:
"All report at 11 o'clock, everybody
up playing catch 15 minutes. Batting
practice JO minutes and every man in
thla time to be up to the plate 10 or
15 times and have three or four pitched
balls each time. Then fast infield and
outfield practice of about 20 minutes;
fast Infield practice with men on bases,
hit and run. and bunting. After that.
Inside, take a bath, a good quick rub
down and have the muscles loosened.
"If baseball magnates would hire
good trainers and pay them $3000 or
S4000 a year, hire men of personal
pride well developed and insist upon
obedience to the simplest laws of na
ture, he would need but about 15 men
on his pay roll as I all players, and In
a season he would be thousands of
dollars ahead and good players would
get more money."

LYNCH IS SANGUINE
Mike Expects to Have Heavy
Hitting Tigers This Year.
CLAIMS NOT EXTRAVAGANT
Tacoma Manager Sums Up His Out
look In niodpeon Fljrtires Pitch
ing Peparttnont Hit Xot Been
Overlooked, Ho Says.
TACOMA, Wash.. April . (Special.)
Although Mike Lynch is laying no
claims to the pennant of the North
western League, he Is now well satis
fied with the line-up of the team. Last
season's Tigers were particularly weak
with the bludgeon, as the paltry aver
age of .234 will Indicate.
This year, however, the main effort
has been to get men who can hit the
ball. Lynch figures . that the club
should hit better than .260 as an organ
ization, an average when accompanied
with a pitching staff almost a dupli
cate of last season's and fair fielding,
should land the team in the first di
vision. Lynch Is basing his claims upon the
figures of last season's averages. These
'4 I

PORTLAND NORTHWESTERN SQUAD
show the Tigers will be much heavier
hitters than In 1911.
Mike (Slvea Flgmrea.
Mike quotes the following figures In
giving his views on the subject:
Outfielders -
Lynch -5s,
Abbott ' -
Ne!Kbbors
Inllvlders ' 0
Cameron --j"!
NIH T,'
Morse
Yohe 319
Catchers
LAiriwlc 240
Crlttt-nden -?
Pitchers (average for stall) --
Average for team
The big manager believes that the
figures may vary a little either way.
For instance, he believes that Morse
will have a much better season than
tnlSll and that Ludwig may hit hard
er In the Northwestern Leagne than he
did in the American Association.
Yohe may not be the batting "phe
nom" that he was in the Texas League,
a class B organization, but Neighbors
has been a consistent' .300 hitter for
the past few years, his last season
being with Sioux City tn the Western
League, a class A circuit. The remain
der of the players should do as well as
they did last season.
Pitchers Make Showing.
In the pitching department. Lynch
has Gordon. Hall. Schmutx and Hig
glns of last season, a nucleus for a
staff which should make a good show
ing. The new faces are Baldwin, a for.
mer major leaguer, Helmicks, a giant
left-hander who looks like a second
Paul Strand, and Don Smith, a young
ster from Southern California.
Lynch Is not so much Inclined to brag
as he was last season, but from an Im
partial point of view it appears that
he has more license than in 1911. The
local fans are predicting that the sec
ond division teams of last year will be
much stronger and it is generally con
ceded that the Spokane Indians will
cease to occupy their exalted position
of the last two years. -
Outside of the local claims for first
division, the experts are picking Port
land. Seattle and Vancouver for a
showing In the pennant race. Victoria
is also attracting no little attention
under the leadership of Lou Nordyke.
Matliewson Xot In Form Yet.
NEW YORK. April . "Christy"
Mathewson. star pitcher of the New
York Nationals, will not be ready to
work for some days, according to Man
ager McOraw, who brought his club
home today after the Spring training
trip. Mathewson will need several
days of warm weather before he is in
shape to pitch, and the burden of the
work of the first games of the season
will fall on Marquard, Ames and Wlltse.
The rest of the players are In good
condition, McOraw added.

Nordyke Badly Missed.
About the only position that worries
Manager Ostdlek Is first base. This
talk about making: the fans forget Lou
Nordyke, last year's first baseman. Is
nonsense. When Nordy was given to
Victoria as manager a big gap was
left in the Spokane infield. He steadied
the pitchers, made outs of wild throws
by the inflelders, was a power on the
coaching line and a whale with the bat.
He certalnlv will be missed "right
smart," as Krafc would put it.
Sheely, because he is tall and active
and a terrific hitter and because re is
willing to learn, may be placed at first
base, but he is only a green youngster
and will take some seasoning : before ne
even approaches the finish of Nordyke.
He has in his favor a fast infield of

Portland . Northwestern Field Gen
eral Counts on Donation From
Beavers' Camp to Win Many
Games for His Crew.
REDDING,-Cal.. April 6. (Special.)
The Portland Northwestern Colts ars
putting In stme, hard licks In Redding.
Helped along by the fine weather and
the splendid treatment accorded them
by the Redding people, the team is
rapidly rounding Into shape.
Eastley. Speas, ilensor, Mathes, Col
trln. Kibble, Hlrsch and Strait are al
ready for the gong. Veazy, Bloom
field. Tonneson and Doty, who are
figured in the regulars', are rounding to
slowly but will be In shape in a week's
time.
Veazy, th new comer from Mc
Credie's Beaver camp, has every action
of a finished pitcher. He has speed,
with an easy deceiving delivery. The
ball is upon the batter before he knows
it. Manager Williams counts on him to
win many a game for his Colts this
year.
Speas and Strait are in splendid
form, hitting the ball harder each day
and pulling off some great stunts In
the outfield. They are sure of their
positions, with Mathes and Fries and
possibly Osborn fighting for the
vacancy. At present Mathes Is lead
ing. He is a hard hitter and hits
from both sides.
The infield is decided on Wlllams.,
Mensor, Coltrin and Kibble. The
catchers look like Harris and Moore
again. Byrd and Curtis and Daly,
pitchers, doubtless will be released
soon.
Gay, the promising third baseman,
mav be sent to the Union Association,
with Carey. The latter seems to be a
weak hitter. He was sent from Texas
on Catcher Burch's recommendation.
Altogether the team seems very well
balanced and outclasses the team which
started the Northwestern season last
year. The squad will leave Redding
Wednesday mornfng and play a few
games on the road before striking home
"The Yannigans took a turn with the
Regulars today, the Regulars winning,
12 to 2. Veazy and Maxmyer pitched
for the Regulars, with Harris behind
the bat. Curtis, Doty and Byrd took
turns in the box for the "Vans." Moore
caught throughout.
