Walter McCredie, the hustling
Beaver manager, has another Coast
league pennant within his grasp
and nothing but a cyclone can grab
il away from him. Although Wal
ter is no longer playing himself,
leaving the active work to the
younger men, he is still rated as a
first class player, and should he re-
linquish the management Of the
Portland club, would be offered a
Job by every manager on the coast.
Mac" has had a big league career
and knows the inS and outs or
baseball to 1T" with the result
that he manages to get more work
out Of a player than any other
manager in the league.
Since taking hold OF the Portland
club, McCredie has never had a
team finish lower than third, and
during that time has won two PEN
nants, counting this years. The
other year Portland occupied the
second peg when time was called.
An agreement with the Cleveland
American league club whereby ne
acts as the Maps scout on the coast
naS GlldDlGu AlCAlCNAAO W RANEA AtA'
choice of the Cleveland castoffs,
or. rather, yougsters who need a
little more seasoning before they
are ready for big league service.
Kruger, Fisher, Ryan, and Gregg,
the star southpaw, are all the prop
erty Of the Cleveland club.
McCredie is called in some quar-
ters the champion grabber Of the
Coast league" and nothing seems
to delight him more than to engage
in a controversy with the powers
that be. However, ne always be-
Iieyes himself to be in the right,
and 1t takes a fighting manager to
land a team in first place, so Mac"
must be handed the palm for de-
yeloping real ball teams.
Charley Hall of Ventura, q, mem
her of the Boston Americans
pitching staff, viewed the Angel
Beayer game yesterday. Charley
had a fine year with the big fell
lows during the season just closed
and has taken on considerable
weight since spring. He weighs
1876 pounds. but expects to take OF
some Of this by playing winter ball
with the Doyles.
Did YOU ever see luck ike
ours?" asked Bernard after that
second inning. "On the square, l
don't think any ball club was ever
attended by the hoodoo which mas
been following US around for the
last three months. We manage TO
get men on base, all right but no
one seems able to deliver the nee
essary Wallop to send them IN
IL n that time
"That boy has certainly got
something" was Daley's comment
on Steen after Pete had been twice
TO the plate with no result. And
Steen certainly did have something,
and that something" was a splitter
which the Angel batters declared
broke about two feet.
Castleton also showed something,
in fact, the big southpaW showed
more than he has had since he nrst
Joined the club, but the Beaver
sluggers managed to connect when
they needed runs.
Olson's leap after Bernard's drive
in the sixth was of the stellar va
riety. The drive would have been
good for two bases had it gone free.
Olson is without a doubt one Of the
best shortstops in the league, both
in hitting and fielding.
It has been so long since the
local fans have had chance to see
the Beavers that they failed to rec
ognize the men. This Is Portland's 8
third trip of the season to Los An
geles, and the Beavers certainly
have no howl coming this year on
the schedule, as they have played
the majority of their games in the
Webfoot metropolis
Tommy Sheehan looked familiar
on third base. Tommy looks the
same as he did when playing with
the pennant winning Tacoma club
managed by Mike Fisher several
years ago.
Harry Waring worked behind the
bat for the Angels for the first time
in many moons and showed VI
well. His throwing to bases was
good, but he did not hit up to his
usual standard, caused no doubt
