Won "a Out of 81 Games

Forest Myers, the 19-year-old Long
Beach southpaw, who has compelled
recognition of his abilities as twirler
by a series of well played games, has
signed a contract to lend his efforts to
the Maiers team from now on. Myers
was to have pitched for the Maiers last
Sunday, but was released to pitch for
Rivera and won a game for the team
for the Dyas7Cline aggregation of ar
lists.
The young southpaw has kept the
bingles well scattered in all of his
games. His best work is shown when
his team is in a pinch He has helped
the men back of him out of some
mighty dangerous places by cool-head-
edness and classy work just when it
was needed.
Out of twenty-seven games pitched
since coming to the coast Myers has
won twenty-four, which is assuredly a
nice, fat percentage.
He broke into baseball here playing

| IN HE performance of Ote johnson
in making four home runs in five
- games stamps him as one of the
most formidable batters in the Coast
league. Probably not a man who is
now listed among the organized aggre-
cations of the Pacific slope lands on
the ball with such terrific force as does
the sturdy squat little Portlander field
captain. The nearest approach to his
equal is Beall, but despite that Beall
is easily as accurate in his hitting, and
probably of the two Is more dependable
the season over for long hits. He has
not of late hit the ball so hard as has
Johnson.
In the midst of all the adverse COM
ment which has been necessary con-
corning the bad manners of the Port
landers on the diamond not once has
Ote Johnson violated the ground rules.
In fact, though Johnson gives every
evidence of being a scrappy, insistenr
player by his aggressive movement, 1t
is merely his manner of moving. 1t is
natural for the man to lead He knows
nothing other than command, and
every gesture is one of supreme conf
dence. But no umpire ever has a word
to say as to Johnsons actions. He
never forgets that he is playing with
men, not rowdies. and acts on this
principle. On the diamond and on the
street Johnson is one of the quietest,
most peaceable and gentlemanly play
ers in the Coast league. He deserves
this little testimonial after the panning
his team mates have justly received,
else the thoughtless fans might think
Johnson somewhat to blame.
And now it remains for Old Mexico.

siesta, to break onto the map as a hot
