"Byrnes has a good head, a true
arm and triphammer tongue-a
combination that has done more than
one players share in making the
Boise fans alternately savage and
amiable. He whips the sphere to sec

racy. If all catchers were as expert
at it, larceny would be practically eli
minated from baseball. He plays the
game all the time and is never fined.
The fact that he is a cousin of the

OSBORNE SHOULD
BE OUTFIELDER

The sporting editor of the Boise
the star Pendleton twirler. should be
an outfielder because of his hard hit
ting and clever field work. Here is
the line of talk he passes out.
Wheeler Osborne, the star twirler
| of the PendletOn organization, Is a
striking example of how a ballplayer
may play out of position and still
make good. He knows it, too, and
this will probably be his last year as
pitcher.
To suggest that a pitcher of Os-
borne's known ability should be play
ing in the far garden sounds ridicu-
lous at first, but little study of fig
ures puts different light on it
In the first place, Osborne can hit.
He is a consistent. scientific swatter
with plenty of natural ability. and
| for that reason alone he should not
be pitching. During this series with
Boise he has registered eight hits in
IS times at bat and that is only a
sample of the way he will hit all sea-
son if nothing happens to his nerve
or his eye.
Lacks Physique
AS class d pitcher he stands well
with many of the Tri-State chucl,ers.
! but there is little chance of his ad-
vancing to faster company as long as
he sticks to the twir.ing end Of the
! business. The reason is that he has
not the physique. Just take a look
at the pitchers now gaining distinction
! in the majors and you will quickly
see that most of them are giants
Osborne is anything but a giant. He
is wiry. but small, and his health has
never been any too good. He is not
strong enough to stand a hard grind.
and two games a week even in the
Tri-state are a considerable strain on
his strength
Change Would Help.
If he We're playing the outfield it
would be a different proposition. What
strength he has would easily carry
him through in that position, and he
would probably hit even better than
he does now. 1t is almost invariably
the case that when a man quits pitch
ing and shifts to some other position
his ba atting ability and speed on the
bases Immediately show a decided
change for the better, and it would
undoubtedly be so with Osborne
He played the outfleld for some
time In amateur ball before he was
gathered in by Pendleton and played
it with credit to himself. He has
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that he has no business on the mound
and after this season it is to be the out
garden for his
Had Hitting slump.
The fans have been somewhat sur
prised this season at Osborne's hit
ting ability. They did not have him
chalked up as a clouter. but If those
who followed the game all season will
think back to the beginning Of last
year they will remember that a year
ago now he was hitting just as fire.
quentIy as he does now.
He made a good start but was
thumped in the ribs with a fast one
early in the season once and his bat
ting the rest of the year suffered to
such an extent that at the close OF
the season he was hitting only .159
He is on his stride now, though, and
1t would not be at all surprising If he
ranked close to the leading batsmen
in the Tri-state at the close of this
year.

Jim ME is THERE
WITH THE COMEDY

Writing for the Boise Statesman,
Hal Upper pays his compliments to
Jimmie Byrnes, the inimitable Buck
aroo catcher in the following words:
Even if the map of Ireland had
not been deeply traced on the counten-
ance of Catcher Byrnes of the Pen
dleton team one would know that his
ancestors at some time had initiated
tourists in the blarney stone degree
His ready wit tells the story.
lone reason Byrnes isn't a COM
edian is that he has never used to-
bacco or liquor, ana one reason he
isn't a staunch member of the Young
Mems Uplift league, with batting
average that would tie Cobb, is that
he swears something terrible. II
seems to be his besetting sin. OF
course, the grandstand never hears
any of it; but when things so wrong
and Byrnes is not enjoined by the
presence of women or the police he
cuts the ambient with the flashing
lightning and the cracking thunder of
proclamation. It's original and not the
shocking kind. You know some men
can say damn" with an expression
that might not offend in polite So
ciety ana yet that would convince an
enemy. Byrnes isn't in the damn"
class exclusively, but he can give the
most artistic exhibition of swearing l
ever heard, excepting from the lips
OF my gone but not forgotten friend,
Ben E. Dix, whose profanity was a
classic and who earned the title of
D. r. C, doctor of refined cuss-
ology.'

tered organized ball, Dickson always

sacrificing time and money season
after season. He was star fielder
and a success at third base in the
days of the old Blue Mountain league
which included Walla Walla and four
smaller towns of the immediate neigh
borhood. Two games a week were
usually all that the league attempted
but toward the end of each season
Walla Walla and Pendleton started

salary limit was shot to pieces by
both clubs, and at times it exceeded.
it is said, even the limit maintained
in Tri-State clubs.
Some Pinch Hitter.
Throughout, Dickson played ball
for his home club. sacrificing his work
with mercantile houses in order not
to miss practice and the best part
of it is that he played ball. Dickson s
batting average frequently led the
league, although there were many
fast players on the payroll As a
pinch hitter he was almost infallible,
and many a game for Pendleton did
his goodly stick win with three-bag-
ger with the bases full.
When the league was organized
there was no place for Dickson as a
regular member of the Glass d team,
but it was as impossible for him to
sever connections entirely from the
home team as it would be for vet
eran circus performer to forget the
smell of sawdust. Now he travels
with the club. with slight remunera-
ton. and dons a uniform for practice.
He watches hopefully for some one
to break leg or a series of mishaps
to come that will permit him a try
out in the emergency: If he gets It,,
and plays up to mis- old form he's
quite certain to startle the natives.
He's Pianist, Too.
Dickson is a member of one of the
best families in Pendleton, and so far
as any one knows, has played ball
ever since he was able to hold a bat.
He made some noise with the Uni
versity of Oregon ball team in his
Younger days. Those who remember
his past performances predict that,
given the opportunity, he will make a
showing in the Tri-State. He's wait
ing for the opportunity. Here's the
secret that even few of his associates
on the team are in on. Dickson is

icine for children, and it is also very
pleasant TO the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and its frequent

unique in the national game. In PEN
