training- camp, but he was stationed at first base. This afternoon he took
- his turn at pitching against the March field aviators and for five innings
jhe visitors were helpless. He allowed but two hits and struck put seven
""batsmen during his fling. The Beavers won, 15 to 0.
Boss Walter McCredle did not see his young phenom in action on
the mound, as the Portland manager was busy umpiring a game at
Pomona, Cal. The contest was a deciding: game between two rival high
.- schools and they wouldn't have any local man render the decision.

his curves were breaking In wonderful
fashion. He was relieved by "Suds"

PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE
HAS TOO HIGH STANDARD
By George Berts
ONTARIO. Cal., March.20. The stand
ard of ball played in the Pacific
Coast league is too high for the aver
age young players of the Northest to
tackle, unless they possess - unusual
ability.
Tills was clearly demonstrated in the
Beaver camp this spring when Manager
McCredle was forced to drop Sylvester
Johnson, the young Porilander, and
Kred Libke. the Astoria lefthander, be
fore the end of the first week of training.
They lacked the experience necessary
to be carried by the Beaver or any other
club in the coast circuit. A couple of
seasons in the Western Canada league
or some other smaller circuit would do
them a world of good,
Both are promising youngsters. Libke
is a tall, rangy fellow, built along the
lines of "Cack" Henley, theformer San
Francisco right bander. His action on
the hilltop is pretty fair for a young
player who has not had much experience
in professional baseball and It is likely
that with some coaching he will de
velop in a good portsider.
Johnson Is a promising youngster. He
Is tall and rangy and handled himself
In good shape in the practice sessions.
It is different with the California
youngsters. They have a baseball in
their hands all the time ahd in winter
the chance to play in leagues against
major and big minor league players Is
open to them, and many of them take
advantage of this, and the value of ex
perience gained is clearly demonstrated
in the manner in which Wee Kingdon
handled himself in the first workouts..
His batting form was also greatly im
proved as the result of Mb batting
against major league hurlers and other
high class mound artists that usually
pitch in the winter circuits.
With the minor leagues In all parts of
the country springing into existence
again, it is not likely that many young
sters of no league experience will be
carried to the Portland training camps.
The H. C. of everything connected with
the national pastime at the present time
is one of the main reasons "why team
managers will not carry Inexperienced
players into their training camps. The
fact that there will be an abundance of
raw material ready .for a whirl at big
minor league trials after the close of the
smaller circuit seasons is another.
So take heed, young sandlotters. If
you have ambitions to break into Coast
league baseball, hunt up Mr. Nick Wil
liams or William Speas, managers of
clubs in the Western Canada league, for
your first whirl in professional baseball.

than he can chew and digest in
taking on a 10-round scrap with
Kddie Shannon, r'aflftc coast ltght
weight champion?
Shannon's friends, say Freddie has. 1
Freddie's friends say Freddie is taek
ling a mere mouthful which he will
assimilate without indigestion.
Be It one way or another, there ap
pears to be a world of class in the co
which l billed by the Portland Boxing
commivalon. Shannon has met m ulL
and there doesn't appear a blot on his
record. He dragged Heinle Schuman
into his camp of victories, and it is
whispered gently hereabout that Joe
Benjamin shied at Shannon on the pie
tense of Shannon being too heavy. It's
a jrreat allot if It's true in its real
essence.
Then again, this Eddie Shannon step
ped out one night In the burly Puget
Sound village and copped Charley White
for a draw. Charley White hopped Into
our midst one sad afternoon a few days
later and hit Muff Bronson once. Iet
the curtain go down, shifters Anyone
who can hold Charley White to a draw,
deserves a niche in pugilistic history.
Charley knocks out four out of every
five men he meets.
Shannon's boxing history extends rar
beyond the purlieus of those battles.
He has Invaded the East with as much
success as he has gone into California.
Black marks on his record are to be
found where chicken's teeth are kept
So has Freddie annexed unto himself
a cud over which he will not ruminate
with pleasant retrospection?
Joe Benjamin, conqueror of Tommy
Twohy and Joe Welling, Eastern cracks,
found him more than a baker's doeen
with boxing gloves. He took all Ben
jamin had and was still fighting when
the bell cajled 'em for the medals. He
went against Benjamin a skeleton from
making weight and he came out virtually
unscathed. If he showed so well against
Benjamin at a sadly reduced weight,
what will he do next Friday night with
Shannon at his natural weight? Let
your imagination run riot and choose as
you see fit.

going to be an important factor in
the offensive attack or tne foruana
Beavers this season.
This opinion was expressed by Man
ager Walter McCredle after he had
watched his hirelings go through several
stiff workouts this week.
A speedy offensive means a fast de
fensive combination, so the Portland fans
may look forward to one of the fastest
clubs the McCredles have had in recent
years.
It will be a team of not only fast but
heady base runners, providing Mac's
plans do not miscarry. One or two of
the runners will have to be tied to the
sacks at times, but taking everything
into consideration, provided, McCredle
lands the infielders he is after, the paths
are going Ao burn under the Beaver's
feet.
"You take this fellow Malsel." said
Mac. "He Is one of the fastest men In
the Coast league. He knows how to run
bases, how big a lead to take and
when to go. Schaller and Cox are both
good runners, so you see I will have a
fast combination of fielders. Cox pulled
some bad work on the bases last year,
but the fans must remember that it was
practically his first year in fast com
pany, and I think he did wonderfully

year and in winter ball I think he win

hope is In the development of young
players and this -year will see the big
fellows reaching out for the young tos
sers in all sections o-. the country. It
will also see closer cooperation between
the major and the minor leagues.
The great publicity given the sate of
"Babe" Ruth was a bad thing for base
ball in general. It caused a great deal
of dissatisfaction ammg the major
players and will no doubt create some
dissension among the players of the
Yankee club. Already Ping Bodle, ex
Seal, has come out with a demand for
an increase.
Charley ; Barnabe, the Los Angeles
youngster, who will very likely be one
of the regulars to be carried this sea
son, is a brother-in-law of Fred Mc-Mullin.
George Maisel looks to be in pretty
good shape. Maisel went through the
first workout of the season like a Mareh
hare. Mac expects Maisel to have a
great season.
Al Honeck. who played with' the
Chevrolet team, which captured the
championship of the Detroit Industrial
league, handles a ground ball well. He
looked fairly well In the first practice.

and they are going to coma West to

"Kingdon is much faster this year, not
only in his fielding but in his base run
ning." Hale, whom Mac plans to grab for
the third base position now that Ctx Is
going so good, is a' runner of the Blue
type. He rune wild at times but has
lots of speed. Ellison, on whom Mc
Credle is pinning his hopes for a second
Backer, Is a fast man.
The only thing that will save baseball
Is the development of young baseball
players.
This opinion, expressed by a man well
versed in baseball, is well taken and it
probably meets with the approval of
many of the major league and big time
minor circuits.
The statement was made following a
discussion of the salaries being demanded
by some of the players in the Pacific
Coast league. Every club in the circuit
Is having its troubles, not a single club
ia free from holdouts, and in most cases
it is the players mcst expected that are

The same is true in the major leagues.
A nmber of former Coast leaguers have
refused to accept the terms offered this
season and threaten to quit the game
or play "outlaw" balL Among the ex-
coasters are "Red" Oldham, Emil Meusel
of the Philadelphia Nationals, Zeb Terry

plans to pur him through a batting
course before passing on him finally.
Outfielder Jack Farmer of the Port

McCredle is receiving offers every' day
from Eastern clubs for Outfielder Wal
ker. Mac plans to hang onto Walker
until he knows Just what player or
players he will need to - round out his
team. Kansas City is hot after Walker
and have made McCredle several offers.
Harry Williams, the Los Angeles
sports writer, who was in the Beaver
camp the other day, praised "Spec"
Burke, the former Jefferson High school
kid, to the skies. Burke has been the
hit of the Angel camp.
Art Griggs,-who played first base for

Some of the injuries sustained by Griggs
