"Walter WcCredlo bellevea ha has a
batter flaldlng team, than h had last
year,' Juras ho thinks he has a much
batter hitting team.
.Or course, the inner worka are most
ImDWtant. from the standpoint or ae
Tens, ana in noiwcntr uu ibim
ha satisfied himself that- he has added
rreat deal of fielding strength over
Jo Evans and Chuck ware, lor me
reason that the two newcomers have
reputations tof steadiness and their
receroir bear out tneir repuwuons.
War and Evajiji were liable at any
tlm -to boolTdne In a pinch, wnicn
lost a lot of ball games for Portland
Hollaeher and Stglln, from the latter s
bnreau of publicity, may boot one one
in a while, but they will not, do it per
sistently In th pinch. -

Ifoltocher had a record around .960
last year, whlph Is going some for a
abortftop, while Sigun was some iu

cover tha ground of a shortstop bat

plays.,'
!K1U Hodgers has always Deen one
f tha best fielders in the Coast league,
bat haa been handicapped by a weak:
arm.'. Tha old souper seems to have
been '.'rejuvenated a bit, due to train
ing at Honolulu, and mere is no reason
Whjr it should not grow atronger. For
week at a time Kodgera never maaes
an error and la considered the most
consistent fielder in the position in
tha elreuit.
Whlla Babe Borton .may not be tha
brilliant worker around-first basa.that
Louis ,Ouisto was, ha la a very con
sistent player and can cover a gooa

Gu Fisher ought to have a better
year than last. Judging from tha way
he feels. Fisher la very careful of his
condition and to ba sura that ha would
give no chance for old Kid Rheuma
tism to butt In, refused to go bathing
at Walkiki until tha last day but one
of tha ' Beavers . stay In Honolulu.
Fisher ought, then, to have a better
fielding average than he had last year.
considering that his arm will ba In
better ahape. Marshall and O'Brien
are io' good ahape and capable of Im
provement, O'Brien's Improvement haa
been, manifest.
The Pitchers, Judging from their
work at Honolulu, appear to ba bet
ter field era than last year, although
there will hardly ba any Oen Krapps
among ,-them. With Gene Krapp In
tha box, McCredje always figured that
ha had five lnxlaldera. Instead of four.
Ha has-' bean drilling his -pitchers on
tha handling of bunta and they have
bad a great deal of natural practice
In the tamea here In view of tha fact
that thA oolored troopers and the Chi
nes play era bunt at tha least provoca
tion, wnue it oftentimes has not
been good baseball on the part of the
local teams, MoCredle haa looked' on
it with tha eye of approval so far
a his Ditchers are concerned Tnnr
Half rich and Zweifel appear to be
nign class hounders of bunted balls.
? Taken by and largo tha fielding will
doubtless be -much better than it waa
last year-and may approach that of
tha famous fielding teams of 1910 and
1911. if the enthusiasm of Boss Mc
Credia can be taken as a barometer.
