Pitcher Shows Up in Classy Style
During Practice Game in
. Camp at Crockett. .
By R A Croala .
Crockett, Cal.. April 1 Manager
Walter : McCredie of the Portland
Heaver today - announced that .
, Frank Fuller would lead-off the bat
ting" order during- the opening week
of the Coast season. Bogart waa
originally slated to lead-off, but be-,
. cause h la a sharper hitter than Ful
ler, MaS madp the change,
CRDCKETT.t Cal., April 1. Kenneth
Penner- had hla first real workout
In camp - yesterday when he . pitched
against Red Oldham and th Yannlgans.
Jso acore waa kept, but Penner showed
up in nice style and It appears that he
will be ready when the bell sends them
away, j' tPenner'a fast -bait and spltter
were working in fine shape and his curve
ball appeared ito have the old breaks.
The spltbali' Is Ken's forte now and
the' Coast leaguers who worked against
him last say he has as- much stuff aa
anybody in the league. Also, Penner
Is credited with being one of the foxiest
pitchers in ihe league, on the word of
Red Oldham and Del Baker, who have
batted against the awkward athlete.
One of the outstanding features of
the - practice yesterday - was the
-fleldlniT of Ben Stolorf, who appears to
be able to cover as much- ground and
aa accurately as any of the Inflelders
we have in camp. Walt McCredie started
In to try ho make a hitter ! out of
fctoloff, and the Russian looks aa , if
he might hit. , Anybody who declares ,a
program on this lad, is going to have.
r battle on his hands from the jump.
There Isn't a livelier lad in camp, and
he may surprise some of the railbirds.
Some of the older men in camp are
wondering If the McCredie luck in pick
ing up shortstop is working ) again.
Swart i, Walters and Coen have been re-i
leased, and it la expected that . Dick
Mitchell will get the axe in day or two,'

in camp to believe that, owing
v to - the --- coolness ;- here, - McCredi
should send his veteran pitchers to
Los Angeles orr vicinity to spend tht
last week ' before the Beavers open
. the first series of the year. Some
of the veteran hurlers complain that

they deelre. The Crockett people
. have treated the club royally ' and
they are not to blame for the worst
, March weather they ' have had ;- in
years. And, anyhow, the other clubs
have fared little better in the mat
ter of . weather around the bay,.
STANLEY COVELESKIE made the
.first home run of hia life in
the Salt Lake ball park. McCredie
sent him? up te awing aa hard as -he

yHAT ,; homer of Coveleskie re-
called probably the' only' home
run ever made by a preceding
pitcher on a Portland club, the
great Vean Gregg.
On the San Francisco fence, - no'
doubt, there - yet exists the mark
ings made by the Portland club on
'the exact -spot where the homer
happened.
: There! were three men on base
and - Portland behind, when Cregg '
came .; to ' bat. He hit a long fly
which bounded into rrgfWt field and
up against the fence. ' The out
fielders j waited 'for the ball to
come back, but it didn't. In that
fence waa a knot hole about .head
high, where the ball went through.
Another; ball 1 waa measured up to
' the hole, and It went through, but
the squeeze was so tight that it
couldn't! .get-1 through if the ball
'wobbled: a bit. The homer was con
sidered such a 'freak that the Port

with the date. etc. I

threw hit Cobb In the breast, and
it tw)ls" bunch of players and

Maya with tb bat.
Tyrusj .walked out into the i tlifL-
mond, told Mays he was going to
drag the - next ' ball toward first
base and ' invited- the ex-Portland
pitcher; to cover- the bag. Mays
refused' to do it, as it was a mortal
cinch that Cobb would have ripped
him from head to feet with his
razorlike spikes. And since then.
It is , said, ; Mays has refused to

UEW TORIv. April L (I. N. S.
Major league managers are paying
an unusual amount of attention to the
"rookies' this spring. . ,:'.
There -are perhaps half a hundred:
youngsters in the camps of big league
clubs below the Mason and Dixon line
today whose work la ' being : closeily
watched. They were good ; enough -to
deserve a tryout and the managers are
"making books" on them. :
The reason for close attention to the
young players lies in the fact that but
little new talent has come up from the
minor leagues because of inactivity dur
ing the war. A prospective star, there
fore, demands careful looking over.
Alt Have i Comers
Nearly every one of the 1 big league
teams boasts at least one youngster
who is being labeled as a coming Cobbl
Maranville or Alexander. Four players
mentioned in reports from .the southland
are. apparently- in line for Tegular jobs.
. Two of the four are with the Giants
and Yankees. Earl Smith, the youthful
catcher secured from Rochester; bids
fair to become familiar to; the fans
