By Branch Rickey, Manager St. Louis
Browns.
The ability of a ball club Is a rela
tive proposition. It Is good if It Is
above the average of the other teams
In the league. Consequently, the pros
pects of our ball club depend not only
upon the standard of play of the
Browns.- but also upon the standard of
play of the other teams In the league.
As to the strength of the other teams
In the league, I cannot say anything,
as I am almost unacquainted with the
players composing the several teams.
Therefore, It would be impossible for
me to give any opinion in reference to
the standing of the Browns in the race
of 1914.
There Is another reason to be con
sidered. We are taking south with us
more than 25 new men. Every one
knows that the outcome of the trjal
season for these new players is alto
gether conjectural, and while it may
produce several major league players
will possibly produce not, a single one.
I have considerable reason to believe
that, some of the new men will make
major league players. They have come
from good leagues, and have good rec
ords.- They are young, and they want
to win baseball games. Some ability,
together with youth and the desire to
win, makes ballplayers; and, therefore,
on paper, I think our new men com
pare favorably with those of other ma
jor league clubs.
No one disputes that, with this army
of young men, it la physically impos
sible and In no respect feasible for one
man td attempt to do all the work of
directing. I positively know that such
men as Wallace, Mitchell and Austin
share fully as much as I do the desire
for a strong ball club, and X have every
assurance from these men that they
will give me the best efforts they have.
The Browns are a young ball club.
with the exception of Bobby Wallace;
and the Scot is far and above the aver
age shortstop.
After selecting the regulars through
a process of elimination, I believe the
team should develop into a winning
aggregation by constant application to
the intricacies of teamwork.
It will be necessary to devote much
time to correcting certain faults of
otherwise good ballplayers.
For instance. Gus Williams, our
right fielder. Gus is what the sport
writers describe a demon with the bat.
He hits the ball hard and often be
yond reach of the opposition.
Multnomah Club Notes
-59
Old Stars Back and New Ma
terial Gives Promise of
Doing Some Fine Work.
-a
Brandt Wickersham, the former city
tennis champion has resigned from
the club. He will be entered, how
ever, in the local and state tennis
tournaments.
Big Bill James, former Portland
twlrler, drafted by the St. Louis
Browns and whom Manager
Rickey expectsr-tp be one of the
leading St. Louis hurlers.
Williams chief drawback is the un
certainty of his fielding batted balls.
He has a habit of holding his arms too
stifly when in the act of fielding a
ball destined to be below his 'Chest
when it touches his gloved hand. If
Williams can be taught to give his
arms a free movement and carry his
hands under and in prolongation of
the line of descent taken by the ball,
he should be as accurate at fielding as
any outfielder in organized baseball,
for there Is no fault to be found with
the manner In which he fields the ball
if it is more than five feet off the
ground when he reaches It.
Williams has wonderful speed, but
because of his lack of training in sci
entific detafls of play he fails to use
' it to full advantage on the base paths.
The harsh hitting outfielder is a neg
lected ballplayer, and I look for him
to develop Into a star of the first mag
nitude.
One player whom I am banking on
to become a regular during the 1314
season is Pitcher Bill James, secured
from the Portland team, of the Pacific
Coast league.
James was largely Instrumental In
pucning the Portland team to a pen
nant last season, after being sold by
the Cleveland club. The Pacific Coast
league plays a high grade article of
ball, and I will he sorely disappointed
if my new twlrler fails to become a
regular on the Erowns' pitching staff.
Judging by the fact that so many
other clubs are after recruit Joe Jen
kins, whom we secured from the Keo
kuk club, the young man must be a
marvel.
The reports of his ability I have re
ceived are glowing, and I look for him
to give Sam Agnew a close race for the
regular catching honors.
Of course, ballplayers are often
overestimated, because they show so
well in the minor leagues, where In all
probability their teammates play a
very poor class of ball.
These men are heralded as stars,
and often when they come to the ma
jor leagues they show so poorly that
they are disposed of shortly after their
arrival.
Sometimes a recruit who falls to
make good right on the jump Is panned
by the fans and loses his nerve.
Usually the nervous recruit fails to
ever break into the line-up, and when
sold to a minor league club he may
again hit his stride.
Having had. one experience or more
in the majors, a player of that type
sometimes comes up again and works
his way into a regular position.
Concluding, I will repeat that a team
that figures to be a pennant winner
on paper may be a tailender when the
season closes, and because of that un
explainable fact I will not predict the
Browns' future.
The hot weather has started the ten
nis bee a buzzing and the club courts
are busy every afternoon from 1
o'clock until dark. Some of the vet
eran players are taking things easy at
first and will likely give the young
sters a hard run in this season's tournament.
Superintendent Dow Walker is plan
ning to make several changes in the
entrances to the tennis court this
season. Arrangements will also be
made, whereas the passersby on Chap
man street win be aiie to enter the
oluh grounds and watch the high
school athletes train. A roadway to
allow automobiles to enter will be a
new feature.
The work of putting the track into
shape will be started during the week.
The entire oval will have to be hoed
and weeded and It will take about four
days to fix it up so that the runners
can cut loose.

secretary job would be a tedious one

soon reaps the reward for hla plncky play.

(k) White's attacking strategy, though at
times bold, was undertaken in a praise
worthy spirit of. aggression and carried
through with considerable determination.

Senators Quit Virginia Camp.
Charlottesville, Va.. March 21. Dis
gusted with snow and arctic tempera
tures here, Clark Griffith and his squad
of Senators left tonight to complete
their spring training on the home
grounds at Washington. The Grlffltes
have had six days of out-of-door prac
tice In nearly three weeka here. Not
withstanding Griffith claims his men
are nearly ready.
Entry blanks for the open handicap
handball doubles and the novice handi
cap handball doubles are at the of
fice. Chairman Osborne is anxious to
have as many as possible entered in
the double events this season.
Twenty-five players have entered
the water polo tournament, which will

Corvallls. Or., March 21. The out
look for baseball at the Oregon Agri
cultural college Is brighter than It has
been at any previous time in the his
tory of the institution. There Is a
greater abundance of old men back, 11
out of the 13 winning the coveted "O"
being again on the diamond. New ma
terial is In many cases showing up to
be better than some of the old men.
Coach Wllkle Clarke is Jubilant over
the prospects of his aggregation. He
feels confident that his men will make
a strong hid for the northwest cham
pionship this year.
From the way he has taken hold of
things, and has taken advantage of
the, early bright weather in developing
his squad, the locals feel that they
have a man of unusual caliber.
The squad of moundmen is Intact
wun mo exception of McMillan, a
southpaw who played in a few games
last year. Captain Culver will lead
the team from the slab, and if he main
tains the record he established last
year, O. A. C. should ' have no trouble
walking away with the pennant.
"Jude" Moreland of Portland is
finding himself very well this spring,
a thing which he failed to do last
year, and he will bte going in good style
before the season begins. Tammerlane
and Cardlnell are back. i
The pitching staff was bolstered
greatly when "Becky" Williams of
Portland Joined the squad. Williams
was the star of the Portland Inter
seholastlc league. He has speed, con
trol and ability with the willow, and
is expected to prove a winner with the
team.
There are two Infields available,
either one of which Is better than O.
A. C. has had before for many years.
In addition to Dave Wilson, who last
year was robbed of his monogram, by
breaking his leg the day before the
series with the University of Oregon
started, and who Is now incapacitated
with a very severe case of poison oak,
there are three fellows who may rob
any of the regulars of their stations.
Sieberts, of Portland famous at second:
"Blinky" Morgan, an ex-Jefferson play
er of Portland, at shortstOD. and Seeley
at third base are all covering their J
territory in a very creditable manner.
Behind the plate are Weller and Sup
ple. The latter was out of the game
last year owing to the fact that he
was a secondary student, but this year
he ls'in the running, and will give Wel
ler a hard run for the position. Sup
ple has a beautiful peg to second. Wel
ler Is heavier and a very good hitter.
Peck Huntley surprised all of the fans
by appearing in 'baseball uniform and
going after the ball behind the bat
with all of the assurance of a veter
an. Moist of Lebanon, and "Dutch"
Hayes of Pasadena, Cal., are also show
ing up well with the big mitt.
Outfield positions will be hotly con
tested. Shaw, Loof and Bobbins are
In their old places, but Dewey, Sin
clair and Hayes are all endeavoring to
break in regularly. Sinclair especial-
lv Is showing up welL Dewey is very
fast and clever on bases, but his bat
ting average la not very high.
