SALT LAKE'S POWER LOW

Clubs of Last Season.
BV 1IAKRI B. SMITH.
FKANCISCO, March 20. (Spe
cial.) Dreaming or a pennant winner
U not the oniy pastime of San rancisco
baseball scribes these days V-ith a
good chance to look over two other
clubs soon to be in the Coast League
rare, it is almost the unanimous opinion
that neither Oakland not - the bait Lake
club will be in the first division. Pick
ins losers is just about as a"Berous
a proposition as naming the contenders
in a race. In a way it is more embar
rassing. ince the teams themselves and
their supporters are not inclined to look
with favor upon such a line of inform-
t 0l'ast year, for instance, the White
Po-, who should have had a good chance
to see all the teams of the Coast League,
licured Sacramento the club that would
make the hardest light for the honors.
Alld weil you know for yourself that
Sacramento finished away down In the
ruck. .
Let's take the clubs piecemeal.
Here's Salt Lake, which to all in
tent and purposes is about the same
club that represented Sacramento last
season.
Blankenship lias several good vH.cb
rs leading off, of course, with the
Williams boys not brothers no rela
tion. Merely Claud and Johnny, the
latter of Honolulu.

and Jimmy Shinn.
Where he seems to fall down is with

nd either Barbour, who was with Den
ver last season, or laddie Hallinan at
third. Gedeon didn't go any great guns
when he infiielded with the Los Angeles
club, and Billy Orr apparently is no
marvel at the shortstopping position,
lnless I miss my truess. that infield is
bound to lose more or less games on
account of fijlding. For that matter, it
doesn't appear there is a lot of speed
on the eluh. and speed is something that
Blankenship will find he needs.
Needless to say. the Mormon manager
doesn't take kindly to this line of criti
cism. "I think the fans will find my club
Is iruch stronger than it appears to
some of the newspaper boys." he re
marked. "So far as Billy Orr is con
cerned, he did have a bad day last
Monday when the White Sox played
here, but if lie measures up to his Spring
work I w ill be more than satisfied."
Younir Will Br Mlsrd.
.ludse for yourselves, however. The
Sacramento club certainly didn't come
close to winning any pennants last sea
son and then they had as good a man
ager as a city could want. About the
same team remains, with the excep
tion of Fep Toung. and the Mormon
ville aggregation is going to miss him
before the season is fairly under way.
Logically that spells a second di
vision place for the squad right through
the yt-ar.
Incidentally. T am afraid . that some
of the Salt Lake City fans are going to
he extremely disappointed. It isn't the
fault of Blankenship. for he lias been
particularly conservative. Some of the
San Jose newspaper boys, however, who
have been sending along the stories to
the Salt Lake papers have let their
discretion go to the four winds. In
short, they have been predicting ail
Summer of good thinss about the club.
That's all very well, if the team de
livers, but if Blank's crew should fail
to get off to a good start, there will be
some murmuring.
Oaki Only Trifle- Stronger.
Tyler Christian's Oakland club may
be a trifle stronger than last season,
although it doesn't look so much bet
ter. Of course, there isn't going to b
the dissension that was stirred up by
Arthur Devlin, the ex-Giant, who didn't
know how to manage his men. That
ought to help some and doubtless will.
For a general criticism. I would say
the club is lacking in balance and that
is ordinarily a fatal mistake. Christian
apparently has one of the best corps
of pitchers in the league. At least that
is the way they look at the present.
Boyd promises to hav a mighty sweet
season, while Harry Abies, Prtiitt.
Prough and Klawitter have been going
well asainst the White Sox, so far.
If Rowdy Elliott signs, as will
doubtless be the case, the Oaks will
have one catcher as good as any the
league affords.
The outfield doesn't strike one as
being so much. Middleton, Daniels
and Watson seem lined up for the
regular berths, while Koerner will do
for a utility role, both as an outfielder
and first sacker, when he Is needed.
Middleton seems to be the best of the
outfielders and that entire department
hardly measures up to San Francisco
or Los Angeles.
In the infield Jack Xess is a fixture at
first, and Carl Manda has apparently
cinched the second base. So far Scotty
Alcock will probably be stationed at
! - i
short, although the chief trouble with
Alcock has been his inability to hit.
Bill Lindsav at third will help out
the club if he hits as well as he did
that last season with Portland. Last
year, while with New Orleans, his hit
ting fell off and there's no telling what
will come during the next few months.
Infield Not Impressive.
It is not always an easy matter to
analyze any department of a team, man
by man. but taking the infield as a
whole, it certainly has not impressed
the critics. The infield looks slow on
Its feet, not fast to field and certainly
cannot be expected to shine from a
slugging standpoint.
There is a story going the rounds
that Oakland figures on securing a
good infielder from the White Sex be
fore tne Chicago club leaves for home.
Lena Blackburne has been mentioned
as a possibility. It is common report
that Comiskcy was willing to turn
Blackburne over to Los Angeles: hence
the idea that ho may eventually land
with the Oaks. Should that deal go
through it would help the Oakland
team considerably.
Both the Oaks and the Salt Lakers
have been having trouble at their train
ing camps this season. The Oakland
boys complained bitterly of the food
served to them at their Pleasanton ho
tel and things came to such a pass this
last week that Christian moved to Liv
ermore, bag and baggage. The boys
are still doing their practice work on
the Fleasanton diamond but live and
sleep elsewhere.
Blankenship's complaint has been the
lack of interest displayed by San Jose
people. Most of the merchants don't
seem to realize there is a baseball club
training in their midst and as for pat
ronizing the games, they absolutely re
fuse to do anything of the kind.
Patronage Is Missing.
When the Salt Lake club was consid
ering San Jose as a training camp they
were promised everything. Those prom
ises have evaporated into thin air. The
club has to pay for its transportation to
and from the ball park and the gate at
the games doesn't even- pay for the
balls that are lost.
San Francisco, therefore, has reason
to congratulate itself upon being locat
ed at Boycs Springs. It's quite true
they don't play any games there but
they have good accommodations, both
at the table and in their cottages and
everything is pleasant. There is a lot
to that, when a team is getting into
shape for a tough season.
Judging from the way his young
pitchers are coming along, Harry Wol
verton will find it no easy task to sepa
rate the goats from the Hheep. There
are several of the boys who look good
and it will take a wizard to determine
which shall be held. Colwell. who was
here last week, pitched a good game
of ball and last week Artie Benham, the
young southpaw, went four innings and
allowed but four hits. He was scored
against for a single tally, but that was
by no means his fault.
Riff Scfaaller Improves.
Biff Schaller is a vastly improved
ball player over last season. He was
a good ball player in 1914, but he ap
peared lazy at times and loafed on
the ball. So far this year he is just
the contrary. The Chlcagoan is full of
life: fields well and hits considerably
better. Schaller is a natural ball
player and there's no reason why he
shouldn't stand out as one of the best
outer garden men in the game. "Wol
verton is just the chap to get the best
out of Schaller there is to be had.
Harry McArdle and Hap Smith are
Coast League ball players who are
looking for jobs. They have been in
training: with Salt Lake at San Jose,
but have paid their own expenses just
to be in condition. Smith, who lives
in San Jose and runs a grocery store
in the off season, says he has been of
fered a berth with the San Antonio
club in the Texas League. He is not
sure whether he will accept McArdle

RIDGE FIELD, Wash., March 20.
(Special.) Twenty-five thousand sil

Whipple Creek Lumber Company's dam,
at Sara, Monday afternoon by Game
Warden John M. Hoff, of Clarke

Lacamas Lake. The fry were taken
from the state hatchery on Basket

one and one-half to two fnches long.
Fifty thousand more of the same
variety of fish wil be available about
May 1, and they also will be planted

SEATTLE LINEUP LIKED
MANAGER RAYMOND TO CARRY BUT
TWO EXTRA FIELDERS.
Howard Wasley Extra Outfielder and
' Healey Extra Infielder Three
Catchers, Ten Pitchers.
SEATTLE, March 20. (Special.)
After studying the Seattle lineup care
fully yesterday. Manager Tealey Ray
mond was so well satisfied that he de
cided to start the Spring training sea
son with oniy one extra infielder and
one extra outfielder. He will have,
however, three catchers and 10 pitchers.
Howard Wasley is the fourth out
fielder. He has been under contract to
the club for the past two years, but for
one reason or another has not reported
until this Spring. He is expected to
make Kippert, Kaiser and Killilay fight
hard for their place. -
A young fellow named Healey, from
Southern California, will supply the ex
cess baggage for the infield.
The infield which Manager Raymond
feels sure will live up to expectations
consists of Beatty, at first: Bocock, at
second: Courtney, at third, and Ray
mond at short.
The hot fight will be for places on
the pitching staff. Those who will re
port between next Tuesday and Thurs
day are Bonner. Thomas, Martin, Mails.
Laird, Rose Springer, Wolfrain, and
Hildebrand. Kelly's name is on the
list, but it is doubtful if he will make
his appearance. Pat Phillips writes
President Dugdale that he will be in
Seattle later in the season.
Manager Raymond has released Out
fielders Schilz and Wade and Infielder
Callahan: Callahan is undoubtedly a
first-class player and he has the un
qualified indorsement of Catcher ,mil
Huhn, who "jumped" Seattle to sign
with the Indianapolis Feds. He would
have been retained had not Courtney,
of the New -England League, got in
ahead of him. President Dugdale is
greatly elated over getting Courtney.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 20. (Special.) Manager Tif
fany has announced that the Oregon
baseball team would take an extended
trip during- the Spring vacation, which
will commence April 9.
The invasion will mark the final
wind-up of the pre-scason work before
the varsity launcheH into its heavy
conference schedule.
Just 10 days from today the Oregon
campus wiil be the scene of the great
game between the Colored Giants and

slplng of this game with an interest
that never before has been displayed in
the baseball world at Eugene. Tills

Each afternoon of the past week has

the varsity and scrubs." These nun

Now the outfield i the only problem of

Nelson at first continues to clout

Lyle Bigbee, tired as serving as a
second-rate pitcher, and possessing an
ability for the scooping in of groun
balls, went out for an infield berth
and cinched the second sack position
after one week of practice. This
huskv athlete can slam the ball nil

in the list of Oregon's strong men with
