UNCERTAIN IN
TWO DEPARTMENTS
As Constituted at Present, Third
Weak Spots, but Bog art and Cox
1 Another Long Hitter and
By R. A. Cronin
GROCKETT, Cal., March 2?. Manager Walter McCredie of
the beavers has begun to see the light as reflected in his
youngsters, and the veterans being gathered by other ball
clubs in the Coast. league.. And it is well that McCredie see the
light, for as constituted at present the Portland club needs more
driving strength with the bat.
If the other clubs were content to try three or four young ball
players tor development purpose after April 8, the Portland club
could hold its own with them. But they are going out and getting
a lot of seasoned ball players at high . salaries, and that forces
Portland, Oakland, Vernon and Sacramento, which appear well
within the salary limit, to do the same. It would not be surprising
if the directors voted to tip the ante a bit.
Under ordinary , circumstances the Portland club could put
enough strength in the field tomorrow to hold off its rivals, but
when one knows those rivals are corralling a full coniplement of
'seasoned ball players, it is no time to experiment with youngsters
of doubtful value. - .
In other words, George Maisel and
hla - .300 driving" power average are
needed . on the ball club. Paddy
Siglin " and his glove are needed if
.Mac wants his club to be up in the
pace rom the start. .
As it looks at present, Jack Farmer
Is the ball player on the club- who
can hit far enough to clean up..
Walker takes a terrific swing at the '
baV, and where Farmer will aver
age about' .275 for the seaspn. his
youns mate should hit about .300.
But -from his work with the bat so
far Walker appears to be a one
field hitter, i. e.. to left field. The
Detaptt turnover may be able to
push them: to right field with more
experience, but the boys are going
to build a nest for him out In, left
unless he changes his.,' style.: and
i. crosses them 'up.-, .... '"....',. .liV k,
Dick. Cox, who will start the sea
son at right field if Maisel fails
to show, looks promising and has
the required nerve to go Into a
lion's den. but Dick lacks a little
of the, finish necessary in class A A
baseball. He (should make a grand
young utility player, however, and
f be able to take-a regular .job next
? . season. iHowever. Cox may liold a
surprise He. has a husky pair of
shoulders and is a long hitter, but.
not so long or crafty a . hitter as
Farmer. Jack will drive In more
runs than any player on the club,
even though he hit only .275.
f Fielding Work Is Okeh
There seems to be enough fielding
? strength in the outfield and all of
the gardeners have good arms, so
there is no worry In that respect.
" But If you don't gefc your- driving
power from the outfield, where do
t you expect to get It? "
, Blue looks as if he would hit over
. .276, and he has the knack -of play-
, Inff first base as well as any young
' ' ster we've had for some time around
r the bag. But the question Is. how
' many runa can he drive In? He
' . takes a nice-" cut at the ball and he
' has speed In his legs, but he does
not strike One as being a hitter of
"j thedlstance variety.
H. Kltter Heavy a Feet ;
i Ritter Is. promising eneugh iaa a
Tf fielder, and a hitter, but he can't
IT run, the bases fast enough for the
. Coast league. On the other hand,

quarters. He can hit better than
Bitter and, as to speed, the pair are
as an express train to a Siskiyou
freight train.
Fuller has no opposition at short
stop. He looks capable of filling
the bill and he knows how to hit.
He will bat around .275, or we miss
our guess. They will be short hits,
for he is too small for driving power.
That brings us down to the big in
field question mark, Eddie Bogart.
McCredie . expresses no particular
worry about third base. He admits
that Bogart majr be a little ragged
in his fielding, but asserts that he
will make up for it in hitting. Quite .
right is McCredie. eo far as h4 goes.
But Eddie is going to face bullets
he never faced before. This is the
Coast league Eddie Is playing in,
two classes faster than he ever tried
before.', . f ':;
The Toath Can Hit
We all admit that Eddie can hit.
He can get on the bases and that
counts for as much as hitting the
ball for a lead off man. He is ?
small and he is hard to ; pitch to.
He has a. good eye. There Is no
argument with the big manager
about his hitting, but there Is about
his fielding. He fights the ball
somewhat too much for" a class AA
player. But be that as it may, if we
were In McCredie's shoes, we'd be
willing and anxious to take a chance
with Bogart. " ! .
In fact,-we'd take a chance with
him sooner than we'd take a chance
with Herb Murphyy of the Seattle
club, .who is being groomed for that
job. He's as good a fielder, to our
way of thinking, j as Rod Murphy
was a couple of years ago, and Rod
v played regularly. He's as promising
as Babe Pinelli. i and Sacramento-,
-made Babe a regular when he had
Jittle more experience, v. -
Can Onthlt Young Rivals
Bogart will outhit Pinelli or' Herb
Murphy, and that should make up
any shortcomings in his fielding.
. Besides he will get on the bases
more than either, of these designated ?
" rivals. Taking it by and large, Mac ,
; is not making a mistake in starting J
' with the Portland youngster, who "
appears to be learning quickly.
Of the catching staff, there is no:
particular worry.? In fact, critics ,
from other damps are agreed that in
Del Baker we have the class of the
league in backstops. Del, who is
the man given credit for developing
Erlck Erickson into . one of the
greatest- right-handed pitchers the
league has known, is all that could:
1 be desired as a coach of young
twirlers. ' Baker says he has learned
. more baseball in the last three years .
than he ever knew before and, as"
he is a youngster, - this should be
his greatest year, as it may be. his
last. He wants to iult baseball
and go into the garage business in.'
Portland. Baker, on the form shown
in camp, should hit better than .250
and may punch his average up to .
.275.
Koehler Is Good Man
- Art Koehler is an unknown quan
" tlty so far as this camp is con
cerned, but the advance dope- on :
him Is good. He 4s said to be a
big fellow ' who drives them out.
This same favorable notice goes for
his arm and his legs. .And on top
of. that, in a pinch, he can play a.,
grand game at first base, according
to Lou Blue, who is picked as the
regular first .safcker. They teamed
it together in the middle south. ,
There la no criticism of the , pitch
ing staff. It . was well assembled.
Pennington and Cooper appear the
- best of the right-handers of expert-.
ence, but only because Sam Lewis,
has a sore arm,: which may follow
, him up to the eighth of April. Of
the -left-handers, Oldham and Rapp .
look the best, with S warts coming "
along, but woefully : Inexperienced. -James
appears to be having trouble
getUng any speed put of .hia arm.
Another Pole Is Classy
Then 'there is kid who looks'
almost as ' promising as Stanley
iCoveleskie, the Cleveland star, when
Covie broke in, with the Beavers. He
is another Fole, ,Tom Lukanovtc.

up in camp, la unknown except by'
reputaUon,-but he has a rep a mile'

- It looks then.i as if McCredfe's
club, with the ' holdouts coming in
and needed, with three youngsters,
- Bogart. Cox and Lukanovlc, will be
- able to hold its own in the , f orth-
coming Coast league pennant race.

B STOLOFF
MAY PLAY
SHORTSTOP
Manager McCredie May Start
Youngster in Opener; Williams
May Come Back to Portland.
' By R. A. Cronin
CROCKETT, Cat, March 29. Ben Sto
loff, a peppery youngster who never
quit for a moment in the face of the
stiff est kind of competition from among
the youngsters trying out for the in
field, may open the season at Los An
geles, April 8, shortstop of the Portland
club. If he proves courageous enough
under the fire of the .300 average guns
of the Los Angeles hitters like : Sam
Crawford, Jack Kournier, Johnny Bass
ler. Lord Kenworthy and Rube Ellis, he
will - have gone a long way toward
clinching the Job,; if Paddy Siglin does
not show up.
Fnller on Second
Manager McCredie has decided to
shove little Frank Fuller over to second
base, where he is more natural thaa at
shortstop, and Art Ritter will open up on
the bench. Stoloff. who Is a dry come
dian, and gets off a lot of stuff that
they pay for on the Pantages circuit,
has been one of the surprises of the
camp. "Nobody figured that he would
have a chance to make the club, but he
plugged, and due to the exigencies of
the occasion, . has the chance of a
lifetime. If Stoloff doesn't show enough
stuff to Btick, McCredie plans to bring
on an- infl elder and an outfielder from
the East to replace Siglin and Maisel.
However, he figures that Siglin will be
showing up soon. Candidly, McCredie
figures that if he were to pay Siglin
the big salary he asks, he would not
be doing right by his other players, who
have signed at reasonable figures.
In the Maisel case, some of the critics
think he would be more valuable to the
ball club than Siglin, as he is a .300
hitter, wan one of the league's best run
getters and base stealers in 1917 and
can play anywhere on the diamond as
well as the outfield. ," '
But there was a ray of hope for the
fans when Manager Mae said that there
was a possibility that Ken Williams
might be back with the club, as the
Grants Pass boys would rather play on
the coast than , in the majors. :
Williams May Come Back i
If Williams fails to stick with the
Browns, then Mac can afford to forget
about Maisel, as Ken . is to our way
of thinking the better ball player, be
cause of his long drives and his ability
to cover ground in the outfield. ;
Maisel made no hit with McCredie, if
it is true that he testified for the Fed
eral league at Baltimore in the suit -for
$900,000 against organized baseball, ex
hibiting his Portland ' contract as evi
dence that the bail players are . poorly
paid. Maisel was offered a salary com
patible . with : the gate receipts of the
Pacific Coast league. s
We had a talk with Siglin" at Oakland
the other day and Paddy as much as
admitted that he had; been approached
by other managers in the league with
an offer of what he wapts from Port
land. This is against the rules of base
ball, and the manager; so approaching
Siglin is liable to a heavy fine. " How
ever, it Is said that in the schedule
meeting at Sa.n Francisco Thursday,
Judge McCredie was able : to secure
waivers on Sielin, to" the latter's sur
prise, no "doubt, : j
"If you can't sign him, how can we?"
is the tenor of the remarks made by
the directors as they waived claim.
Seek Jobs in Shipyards " -
There , appears- to be an air of uncer
tainty among the players over the out
look for the Beavers. All agree that the
battery work will be the best In the
league, but they are not cure I of the
hitting of the presently constituted club.
However, if McCredie can go out and
win with that bunch- of kids. It will be
all the more to his credit as a manager.

' PnbUe Links Ready Sooft
Provided the good weather condi
tions continue for the next 10 days
or', fortnight, the municipal golf
links at Eaatmoreland will be In
great shape for the devotees of the :
game. , ; ' Many improvements have
been made on the course "during the "
winter months, and it Is expected
- that a great number of players will
take to the game this summer.
Most noticable of the improve
ments is that "'earing away of the
brush that practically surrounded
the fourth hole. This hole ranks
among the best on the coast for a
short water hole. '
A new putting green Is being In
stalled on the fifth hole and a new
tee on the sixth. The sixth, which
Is a dog -leg, was really one of the
hardest on the course as the first
shot requires one of great length,
but with the new tee It will not be
so hard. A lot of the tall grass and
brush on tht sICb of the knoll on
which the tee .i located has been"
"removed.--.. -' ; -
' The course is now under the super
vision of Johnny Junor, former pro

present time, but the fairways of ,
; the : second and seventh holes aro -somewhat
soft.
