The presence In various Pacific Coast
League cities of no less than five major
league scouts during the past month.
coming- for the purpose of looking over
talent, nas stirred discussion as to what
the pick of the Coasters are worth to
the teams under tije big: tent.
Every club in the league has pastlm
ers who are worthy of a fling or an
other fling in the big show. Of course,
when players are sold to the majors
there is usually a fabulous sum given
out as the sale price. However, & con
servative estimate places the value of
21 Coast League stars as being worth
approximately 88,000 to clubs in the
American and National leagues.
Speedy Players Are Listed.
Here is the list of players who are
ripe, the club they belong to and the
position they play:
Portland Wynn Noyes, pitcher, ?2500;
Allan Sutton Sothoron, pitcher, $2000;
Chuck Ward, shortstop, $2500; Dennle
Wilie, outfielder, 83500; Billy South
worth, outfielder, $2500; Louis Guisto,
first baseman, $11,000.
Los Angeles Oscar Horstman, pitch
er, $2500; Johnny Bassler, catcher,
$2000; Haiy Wolter, outfielder, $4000.
Vernon . Edward Spencer, catcher,
$3500; Ellis Johnson, pitcher, $3000;
"Swede" Risberg, Bocond baseman,
$7000; Raymond Bates, third baseman,
$4500; Marty McGafflgan, shortstop.
$4500.
San Francisco Johnny Couch, pitch
er. $3000; Bobby Jones, third baseman,
$3000; Ping Bodie, outfielder, $10,000.
Oakland Elwood Martin, pitcher,
$7500; Billy Lane, outfielder, $2500.
Salt Lake Paul Fittery, pitcher,
$3500; Bunny Brief, first baseman,
$3500.
Some Already Sold.
Some of these sensational perform
ers already have been claimed under
options, while bids for others are being
made. The Chicago White Sox have
claimed Risberg, while Couch has been
sold to Detroit. Detroit has a working
agreement with San Francisco and has
advised Henry Berry that it will exer
cise its options on Pitchers Red Oldham
and Eric Erickson. Neither one of the
latter has been listed in the $88,000
brigade. Oldham has shown flashes of
major league stuff and so has Erick
son, although the latter has not beer.
In this league long enough to show
Coast League random that he is the
real McCoy. Catcher Hannah, of; Bait
Lake, is another unlisted one' who
may go up. . '
Chuck Ward, and Wynn Noyjs, of the
Beavers. -will be sold to a Vtiig leagul
club before August 20, say Wainr Mo
Credie at Los Angeles. Bofcr -,le Fill la.
delphfa Athletics ana Cleveland like
their work, he says. Everyone knows
mat Louis Ouisto already has been dis
posed of to the Indians, to report next
bpring. Mack got approximately $4000
in casn and seven players worth $1000
apiece, making the Bale price $11,000
Wolter to Move Up.
Harry Wolter, of the Angels, has had
offers from the Yankees and only Frank
Chance's objections have kept him from
reporting. He seems sure to go to the
majors next spring. Catcher Edward
("Tubby") Spencer, of Vernon, is now
on his way to Join Detroit. Pinsr Rnriie
of the Seals, is wanted by several major
league clubs and will go to the highest
Didder, president Berry, of San Fran
cisco, says he is worth $10,000.
Of course, some of the boys will be
lost by draft if not sold before Seotem
ber 15. But Coast League Clubs are
sure to gain a good-sized chunk of the
coin of the realm by sales. They are
due to come in rapid-fire order between
now and the drafting season.

game had to be properly handled.
A few extract, from Harvey L. Hopkins"
lecture In the Pittsburg Leader of July SO.
1916:
The bump of caution la developed to the
rapacity of the Individual in cheekera The
more one plays the less likelv will he be
to buy gold brtcks and the like. He who
hesitates la lost must be changed to he who
does not hesitate will not win. "1 asked a
gentleman which game he preferred. He
answered by asking if I had heard of tne
young man who was in the company of two
charming young ladies and said all alone to
himself. "How happy 1 could be lth either
with lother dear charmer awav." I refer
to chess In this lecture, for the same reason
that the. man spoke of Mary whenever he
thoucht of .lane, because they wre twlr.a.
I'nconsclously the student gels to exercising
all of hie mathematical and analytical
powers across the checker board oblivious
to his surroundings to his mother calling.
Wheniver Mrs. Hopkins wishes to divert my
attention she hands me a new checker prob
lem. It lias the effect of soothing syrup on
a child. Wives, aot on this pointer and In
troduce checkers in the family circl.. Your
boya will acquire the power of continuity
of thought and of methodical reasoning It
Is anticipating all possible moves that can
be made aifalnst hl.n that success l:es. Rs
membt.r. checkers Is like the violin, the same
tocay as 41 was yesterday, the same ves
terday as it was centuries ago. "beautiful,
marvelous. Inexhaustible a perfect lnstrue '
ment." No can can tell ahlch Is the deeper
of the two games, chess or checkers any
more than which Is the deeper, the Pacific
or the Atlantic Ocean, as no bottom to
either has ben found.
