No time will be wasted traveling to spring training camps or fighting to get a chance to display his wares before expert eyes. A good day at bat or afield against Portland, a flash of real baseball ability, and a contract will be produced, never worry. There may be more to this barn storming trip of Portland's than meets the eye. Vern Shangle ad vanced the very logical supposition that the Beavers are making the three-game trip for the express pur pose of looking over the finest burn ers in the state. Last fall, Cincinnati stepped In, held a tryout camp in Medford, and came up wltn Paul Gehrman, Bend boy, who is slated for the Reds' pitching staff next sea son. In other words, the major league team grabbed Gehrman, who had performed for tUe Bend Elks In the state league ior several years, right out from under the Beavers' nose, it la possible that Prexy Schefter of tha Beavers arranged this tour to beat the Cincinnati team to the punch this year.
