Pat Callahan's work against r tbe Chicago White Sox at Hanford, when he Bet the big leaguers down Jn the best pitched game of any of the Beaver hurlers so far In this training camp, has set McCredie to thinking, i "Callahan ought to be a winning pitcher in the Coast league," said Boss McCredie, "if he is worked only one he Is strong enough to work twice i a week.

The only way to get rid of a sore arm lln & youngster ig to work it out, instead Of dressing up like a wounded soldier. My pitchers, ;all of - whom have h.d professional ' experience, are not g$t ting Into shape as they should. That Is their lookoutnot mine.

For a curve ball pitcher , I keep be hind the plate and catch the curve after it breaks. For a spitball pitcher I crowd the plate and step upon the pitch, getting the ball before it orfeaks. "I have studied spitball pitchers and none of them fools me. You take the spitball pitcher and when he bluffs you can tell it, for, he always takes doess any fainting around here, I'll, revive him i-and I'll revise him in a hurry.

The tentative rules covering the proposed classification of boats and governing the running of the events have been thoroughly din cussed by the club members during the past couple of weeks. Leonard Myers, chairman of ther re gatta committee, and his assistant have been hard at work getting all the available Information and 'suggestions Into a set of rules that would best fit the local situation. Biz Classes Considered. In all probability there will be six classes, including- a free-for-all, open to boats, irrespective of power,, up to 40 feet over all, -and including a cruis er class open to all boats coming under the committee's definition of a cruis er. The first four classes will be de fined according to the cylinder capac ity and displacement and will enable practically all types and sizes of boats, not covered In the cruiser clas.i, to find a proper classification for en try. ' . A table of speeds, Is being worked out which will enable the committee to quickly classify the boats into their respective classes, upon completion of speed, trial ever a set course. The length of the racing course will vary according to the different classes from five miles up to 25 miles, with short legs on the lap to enable the boats to be kepV within sight of the Judge's stand as much as possible. Plying Starts Used, Tbe club's official measurer, Ernent Von der Werth, will cooperate with the racing committee in determining the elass Into which the particular boat belongs and In certifying as to the cylinder capacity of the motor. Kxcept the entries in the free-for-all, all boats will be expected to make a speed trial over a sot course to en able their ratings to be determined.
