TALK ON SIM Y Ban' Francisco, Jan. 1. (I. N. 8.) Walter McCredie, who must now be re ferred to as the manager of the Salt XaIc Bees, was in town today,, on his way to Bait Lake, to talk business mat- .'ters ortr with the club's directors. He ! plans to stay In Bait Lake for a da or two. only, and then to proceed east on a . March for pitchers and catchers. . "1 haVe no catcher," said Walter, "al though -there Is a chance of getting one , from the Yankees on the Hannah deal. ; X have Just two pitchers, Leverenx and ' Evans, -. and I am not depending on Evans, who Is not; taking any sort of : care of himself. I'm going east. I am ; lihneed of at least one catcher from the : International league. 'tYY ' Wglln Goes to Bees VI have no worries as to the Infield, 'for I have Sheeley, Crandall, Orr and J Blglin, and there Is a good chance of getting Joe Gedeon. That Is as .nifty a lot eg lnflelders as a y body could wish Y tat. I haven't heard anything of Bill Orr's being sold to Sacramento, and I can't see the deal as yet. Orr always Y played ball against my Portland club, , and lie is too valuable a man to let go. I'm going to need an outfielder or two. r I've got Buddy Ryan and Tommy Quin- lan, but Indications are , that Quintan will be in the army before many weeks. "j I'd like to get Lee,- who was with me at : Portland, but I know Judge . IJcCredie will not let him go. , "I've got one of the best young out ' fielders I have ever looked at in Dick k Cox. who has been playing In the South ern California Winter league. He looks . to. me like another Ping Bodie. He'a been hitting around .500 in that league, ' Which is made up of high class profes sional: talent. I've got . two or three i other players from that league, whom; I expect to be valuable. Tou see, a lot 'of ., these boys have been playing in the Cop ' per league, the Western association and other defunct organizations, and have . 1 considerable experience. I think I am going to nave a good ball club, in view of war conditions, and I'll have a lot of youngsters who will show something, too." ' J Ifo Sale It Cdnmmmated ;. 1 ' Although there haye been rumors that Manager Walter McCredie would take - Paddy Slglln with him to Salt - Lake out of the Portland list of Y players, and Judge McCredie has said that It was up to him to see that Walt made a good showing at tho , Mormon town as manager, nothing of : flclal has been done in the transfer of the Beaver infieldlng star. - "Walt wrote me that, he would llko ' to have Slglln and Lee for the Salt , Lake club next season, but that is .as far aa It ever went. We are run Y, nlnf no ' benevolent society in Port : land. We ' paid good money for Slg ' lln. developed him a year and expect " toget something in return. If Salt Lake . wants Slglln and It has ou. , price,, he will go there next year. Otherwise he will remain with the .' Portland club. YY'f. ;--'Great Boost for Lee "I ; think that young Lee Is going ' to make a great player and I don't know whether we want to let him go to Salt Lake or not. He" is the most ; promising, youngster we have had since , we secured Charley Hollocher. We ' could . have sold him to several clubs ,ln the Coast league, but we may .keep ; him for development. He, by the " sway. Is too young for the national . . army, so that makes him extremely J valuable . as a prospect for 1918.' Biff Schaller Says He Will Quit Seals . Ban Francisco, Jan. L COY?.) Wal X ter (Biff) Schaller has served notice on . ;Ow ner Henry Berry of the Seals that he .has .played his last professional ball game. - Schaller will work at the Union 'Iron Works on week-days and play Sun day ball next season. - Schaller's retirement leaves the Seals jwlth one outfielder Jacinto Calvo. Justin Fitzgerald and George Maisel, who composed the Seal outfield with Schaller last season, report to the Phil lies -and Detroit, respectively, next season.

Manager Mc '. Cradle -will tender him a contract be vfore the season opens, he said today. , ; McCredie also quieted the rumor that he would dispose of Buddy Ryan.
