And little jionus is Dacxea up by every one of his cohorts, notwithstanding the fact that they have a habit of maiming each oth er now and then, Honus Introduced .a couple of new pastimera to the fan to day, to-wit. Jack Ness,, a first baseman late of the New Bedford club of the New England league, and George Schlrm, who frolicked In the outfield at Buffalo last year. Both of -them look promls Ing. f, The fans say they are an Improve ment over Xzxy Hoffman. Claire Patter eon and . "Long Jawn? Tledemann, Taut the manager is keeping his own counsel Schlrm Is a squat sort of a fellow, no Bigger than Bert Coy, but he Is a light rung express alongside of Bert. . The bison Is some fielder, too, for he romped over the hilly veldt of s the old state league park with aa much grace as Artie Krueger or Chet Chadbourne. He Is recognized as a .300 hitter. First Casualty of Season. . Ness It a, rangy youngster, built something like Hughey Miller, the old senator. From what I saw of him to day, I think he Is considerably shaded by Freil Derrick, the Beaver first base man, also a newcomer. But you must take Into consideration that Derrick played in a double A league last year, while Ness was doing time In a class C circuit He can't field with Derrick, neither la he as fast down to first. Their stlckwork Is problematical. The first casualty pf the season was chalked up during the batting practice this afternoon, when Harry Abies tried to stop one hit back at him by Que Hetllng. Result: Harry will be out of " the game for over a month with a frac tured bona In his pitching hand. Harry Is one of tho consistent winners in the league, bat Mltze is- not so down In the mouth, as one would thlnkv -He fig ures that Cy Parkin will be able to de liver the goods for the two months, when he Is expected to fall off, aa ho Aid last . year. Added to that is the condition of Howard Gregory, who, like Farkln, had the Sox swinging their heads off thla afternoon.

KUHlar in Tine Tora. It fa generally admitted that Jack Kfllllay pitched a bit over his . head last season, but be la in fin form now, and Mltze is counting on hint. And last, but not least, there la Tyler Christian, credited with having more horseshoes on tap than , the village blacksmith. Christian will never forget the after noon in Portland in when the , Beavers broke his winning streak of 13 straight, and, believe me, he has never forgiven vs. He sends word that it will be his special delight to trounce the Mackmen on all occasions. It is generally believed in Oakland ; oamp that Art Guest, formerly of the Connecticut league, will be utility in fielder,1 and that Abbott or Becker will be retained aa utility outfielder. Now for a brief mention of former Coasters who are with the White Sox second team, under the Eagle eye of the venerable Kid Gleason, Rollle Zelder, as bowlegged and big nosed as ha was with the Seals in 1909, is playing a nice third base. Rollle Is in a peculiar posi tion, too good to release and not good enough to play regularly. He said that he would be pleased to return to the Seals, but it Is a doubtful matter at thla time. Hitting Xdke a riend. - Gleason is coaching Joel Berger, the ex-Angel, with all his might 'They are banking on him to crowd Buck Weaver for the Tegular short patch position. Berger is. hitting like a fiend, but his fielding apparently Is not up to his old coast standard. Jack Fournler, as heav ily legged aa when with Portland sev eral .years ago, has developed into a By R. 'A. Cronin. Vlsalla, CaL, March 2L Justin Fitz gerald would never nave gotten out of the American league had he been poe- sessed of a .strong throwing arm.. He "lost" his arm a couple of years ago and it has never been hardy since. He had it worked some by an osteopath last winter, but did not get the relief that he expected. He thought It would be all right to cut loose from the outfield to the plate in the. first game against the colored Giants, but hia arm nearly went with the ball, which did not carry even to first base, much leas the, plate. Fitzgerald immediately began worry ing and sought McCredle's advice. Big Mac once had a sore arm, which ha worked into its old time shape by throwing continually. "I'll tell you what I d do, Fits," said McCredle. "If I were you, I'd get out here every day and work; on that arm. Tou don't have to keep a bat in your hand all the time, for you will hit .300 In any league in the world. What you Want to do is to get out there and perfect yourself chas ing fly balls and throwing to bases. An outfielder nowadays must be something else besides a hitter and base runner. He's got to pay as much attention to the defensive department of the game as the offensive, and unless be does, the hits that he makes will not amount to much in the general team play."' Takes Mao's Advloa. "What you want to do Is to start at a reasonable distance from the man you are throwing to and then increase it every day. .Pretty soon you will be throwing from the farthest point of your field. It Is the old story of the man who wanted to gain strength, and he started in by carrying a little calf around the corral. As the calf grew older it also grew heavier, and the man became stronger. Pretty soon he was taking all the cattle In the neighborhood for a ride on his shoulders, or some thing to that effect Wei, It is that way with you. I'd throw that arm clean off your body if It was necessary." Fits started out, to follow , this piece 'of advice, gained from IS years of base ball The first day he warmed up with Our Angl ers Guide Is now ready Tells All About the Choice , Fishing Spots Come down and get one; , ; they're free Boston Dentists We are now located between 4th and th on Washington street where we have one of the mowt up-to-date den. tal orflces on the Pacific Coast and we will for the ntit 30 days give the following prices: ; v OOtB CXOWS, ,....,.V......t30 ootp rrttaii- ... , ..uo tvix.

Then ho started in the outfield to throw to the plate, gradually increasing hia distance. .Of course, the arm is not so tremendously strong now, but It has gained In driving power until It doea not pain him, so much to wing toward the bases. He believes that by May or June it will be as strong as when ha was a kid at St Mary's, col lege. ': Fits has also set out to Improve his fielding. If he could field like Doane or Chadbourne and had an arm like Chad's, McCredle could .sell him for 16000 or 110,000. He is young yet and no young player ought to have a sore arm. He is the fastest ball player in the Coast league, according to general opinion. That he has a bright future, nobody will deny. Nick Williams has always cursed the luck that robbed him of Fitzgerald when the latter was a student at St Mary's college. When , Nick was ap poirted manager of the Portland Colta in the winter of 1910, one of the first young players In California that he ap proached was Fitzgerald. Nick Offered the collegian the sum of $200 a month, for ha realized that he would be worth every cent of it One Sunday afternoon Hal Chase, then manager of the New York Americans, took an all-star team over to the St. Mary's campus to meet the college nine. He saw Fitzgerald pull off some stunts that smelted of big league calibre. He approached Fits, who told him that he had been negotiat ing with Nick WUBams, but had not signed a contract . ,:' ' Oaks Kelease ritz.. "Come with me. said Chase, "and I'll write you a contract for $400 a month." It was a business proposition and Fitzgerald accepted It But it was eventually to prove a sad experience to him. ' Up on the Hilltop in New York, where the Highlanders played, a cold wind swept across tho field. He got rheumatism In his arm and ' couldn't throw, An outfielder without a good arm can't find a berth there. They shipped him to Sioux City of the West ern league, then recalled him later and sent him to Jersey City of tho Eastern league. Then when a ohance came to get Harry Wolverton from Oakland, they traded Bud Sharps, Harry Wilkin son, the old Columbia univer sity first baseman of Portland, and Fit for the present Sac ramento manager. Fits went hunting, aot a touch of blood- polsonlnr in his ami, later bulled Sharps into believing that he couldn't play any more, got his release and finally signed up with Port land, where . he was a sensation laat year, hitting away above .800. COLORED GIANTS TO PLAY HERE IN API Games Practically Cinched Open Series in Seattle on April 4, The American (Colored) Giants ball team, which defeated the Portland Pa bifid Coast league team four times In a series of fiva games, will play here on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, April 12 and 13, "This,.' said Judge McCredle, "I practically certain. We are waiting for an answer from Manager Foster of the Giants now, and expect it any time.' Manager Foster wanted to open the games In Portland, but he was told that it would be impossible to do this on account of the Colts training in Califor nia, Fielder Jones, an old time friend Of .the- Chicago Giants' manager, wired Foster' that it would pay him to double back to Portland for two games. , ; . The Giants want a guarantee of $1300 for the trip and they could take this much in at Portland, and Seattle On the two Sundays if the weather is good.' ' The schedule as planned ,hy Judge Mc Credle and the railroad officials is at Seattle, April 4, 5 and 6; Vancouver, 7, t, and 9; Victoria, April 10; Tacoma, April 11; Portland, April 12 and 13, and Spo kane, April 14. Other games to be played later with the Union Association clubs. , pretty fair first baseman, not so good as Borton, however. He still takes that hefty swing at the ball Borton has it on him because he Is faater and is a lefthanded first Backer, Jack will probably return to Montreal. Billy Sullivan, who Is one of our apple culturlsts in the Chehalem valley, caught a beautiful game today, but Sully is pretty stiff with age, and has none of the speed of the old days when he and Fielder Jones were winning a world's championship for Comiskey. "Red" Kuhn, the old Port! ander, and Ray Schalk are the regular Sox catchers. Captain Harry Lord thinks Kuhn Is superior to Schalk, but Manager Jim Callahan is Mill In doubt. Tet Easterly will fill in. All these are with the first team which played two games with the Beavers. Down this way they all fear McCredle and his mound builders. C. F. Mnst Change Rules. (tnltw!
