NEWS AND NOTES OF THE DIAMOND

HI HE Oakland baseball management
was pleased the other day to re-
II Nceive the announcement from Sec
rotary Farrell of the national commits
sion that Oakland had been successful
in drafting three new players for next
season. Pitcher Boice of the Reading
club of the Tri-State league, Pitcher
Marie of the Bay City club of the South
Michigan league and Shortstop Foster
of the Wiliamsport club of the Tri-
State league are the players. In addi-
ton to the above men, the Oaks had
draft for another pitcher, but lost out
in the draw, as another club also had
drafted this man. In Boice 1t is be-
lieved that Oakland has landed one of
the most promising slabsters in the
minor leagues. He has taken part in
quite a number of close games in the
Tri-State league the past season, and
has won the majority of them. For the
season he won about two-thirds of his
games, while his club finished over the
800 mark. He stands feet, and in
this respect will be strong rival of
"Slim'' Nelson, Oakland's elongated
southpaw.
Pitcher Marie is another big fellow.
His work last year was so good that
he attracted the attention of the Bos-
ton American club, and he was drafted
by that team. However, this spring,
owing to the fact that the club had a
surplus of pitchers, Marie was dropped
from the rolls. While he was with the
Boston American club Homer Cra-
vath, the former Los Angeles player
witnessed his work and recommended
him very highly to Manager Van Halt
rem of the Oakland club.
Shortstop Foster was secured for the
purpose of strengthening the infield.
Foster played with the championship
Williamsport team, and Is ranked as
one of the fastest inf1elders of the Tri-
State league.
Charley Hall, formerly with Seattle,
now playing with a Southern California
team in the winter ranks, was the first
big Lacquer to cop home run in this
neck Of the woods. At Santa Ana the
other day Hall sent the sphere over the
centerfleld fence in an exhibition game
with the San Pedro club.
The manager of the Ascot team, in
the City league, 'phoned The Herald
yesterday that on account of the rainy
weather he would like to have Presi-
dent johnson call off the championship
game until next week.
