Yea, Bis Bill Anton, the
towering Greek . from WUlam
ett( who has had bnt a modi
ram of experience, signed with
Major General . Sweeney and
his Portland Beavers and' is
now- with them at Seattle.
Anton, who will be looked over
throughout the remainder of this
season at a $135 per month rate,
and whoee eon tract also calls tor
a trip to the Bearers' training
camp- next spring , thus probably
i becomes the most inexperienced
: rookie to ever get his Initial op
portunity In organized ball with a
-class AA elnb. c'i .. -' .
For up until this week signed
'with : Portland Anton had pitched
.-or ""thrown! less than 0. ball
games in hit life. When he ma
triculated at Willamette .four
years. ago Anton had played seven
innings of baseball, with a Port
.land Junior Legion team, and he
hadn't , hurled a single heat
' As .a. freshman he confined his
diamond activities to pitching for
a tniternlty Softball team, and
It . wasn't . until his sophomore
year that he went out for varsity
baseball. ' That year he pitched
.one game, getting. a one-hit shut
out over Albany college. In his
Junior rear Anton faced such
competition as Q e-o r g "The
Duke? Windsor. Bob White. Walt
: Weaver, Gatchell, etc., and there
fore hurled but one game that
year..-. , ., ; - -k- v-.
; i Outside of the six or seven
I Karnes he pitched this last sea

: not mora than half -doxen bosh
league .tilts t he worked last

f extent "of Anton's mound work,
" or,-for that matter, any other
form of baseball activity.
Accidental Introduction.
1 The galloping Greek, who as
such was twice chosen the North
west conference's all-star, basket
ball center, and who last year
.led r the loop scoring race, re
ceived his - introduction to the
Beavers quite by accident. It all
-came.' about through a Portland
bootblack who knew both
Sweeney (from shining his shoes)
and Anton. - . V .
Anton pitched to the Beavers
; la batting practice for - two
" days, . daring which time . he
; irapdfcsBed Hweeaey by tbe
simple bat - hard-to-accompllsh
. expedient of striking him out
every time he faced him. At
that time (some month or six
weeks ago), Sweeney was' all
set to sign Anton on for the
remainder of the season when
Plckrel, who had been released
' a free agent by Seattle,
walked In and was signed in
stead. '
What probably impressed
-Sweeney more than' the- fact An
ton struck him out. however, was
the size of the guy. That 6-feet-5
altitude and -2 10 -heft, if it can
be taught to pitch, will be
: valuable" hunk . of ivory on . the
baseball market;
' s Anton,, who up until the spring
; of this year knew absolutely noth
i ingr about pitching except to rare
