as much more in sight. The values
are uniform and it is estimated that the
ore runs about $50 a ton. Most Of the
work has been in the nature of quarry

Gossip of Coast
League Diamonds

There is some excellent material in
the Oakland club, and with a couple
of other good men it would be right
up with the other clubs. In Coy and
Zacher the Oaks have a pair of nifty
! fielders, but they need another gar
! dener. as Kaylor and Clemens, pair
of youngsters whom Mite has been
trying out, are hardly up to the
standard.
With Gardner, Ness. Leard. Cook,
Hetling. Guest and Devlin, the Oaks
will not be in the need of infielders
If Mite continues to remain with the
club along with. Rohrer, Develin will
not need to hunt for catchers. as they
are as good as any backstops in the
league.
Pitchers are needed by the Oaks.
That has been the trouble all year.
Probably Stone and Schwenk will de-
liver. and If so Develin will not be re-
quired to make any changes.
x !.
Stone, the new pitcher the Oaks ac-
quired from the st. Louis Browns,
made his debut on the mound yester-
day at Oakland. but his initial start
could hardly be termed success. He
worked four innings and was taken
out in favor of Jack Killilay. who
pitched the remaining innings of the
game.
The Tigers touched up Stone rather
freely, getting five drives off him and
three runs. 1t would be hard to judge
the newcomer on yesterdays perform
ance. as he has had but little work all
season. He was what would be termed
on the racetraclS short.
He showed, however, that he has
good control and knows how to field
his position. Yesterdays game should
be thrown out when it comes to pass
Ing judgment on the new man.
X y
For a single admission the fans
will be treated to a double header
this afternoon when the Tigers and
Oaks will hook up at Recreation park.
The game of Tuesday, which resulted
in a tie, will be played off. The first
contest Is scheduled to start at 1870
O'Clock this afternoon.

Cy Parkin, former pitcher in the
Oaks. who is just recovering from a
serious attack of typhoid fever, was
a visitor at the game. Cy is still in
a weakened condition, but he is i'm
proving daily.
His friends and playing mates of
the Pacific Coast league are to give
him a benefit. The clubs of the league

his place, temporarily it was thought.
The fast young infelder made excep-
tionally good. and it was during his
term of service on the western trip
that the Giants ran into their first
decisive winning streak of the sea-
son, which brought US UP within
range of the Phillies. so we were in
A position to oYertake them by the
first of July. McGraw was never a
manager to break up a winning com
bination. and Shafer stuck in the
lineup, Herzog remaining on the
bench
Never fool with a winner" Nc
Graw says often.
Any time that Herzog has gotten
into the game. since Shafer has been
holding down the job regularly he
has played great baseball He showed
the stuff he had in him during the
series with the Red Sox last fall,
when he was one of the stars of those
games, both at the bat and in the
field. He is a hard and conscientious
player, and fights for every point. The
injury of an inf1elder on the Giants
would not weaken the New York
club. as Snafer can play any position
of the infeld, and Herzog is a steady
third baseman.
If one of the Athletics infielders
should be hurt, the Philadelphia team
would be greatly weakened. because
IL would result in general shift Of
the lineup. Oldring probably would
come to the vacant place, which
would leave a hole in the outfield
Then il stands to reason that a man
who has been appearing regularly as
a felder for several seasons can not
take hold of an infield job on short
notice and be as steady as a specialist
at it, Mack's only other hope for a
substitute infielder is young Orr, and,
If he was not good enough for the
Athletics during the regular race. he
certainly would not fit in the job in
the series, where the tension will be
coming games.
Perhaps certain readers think I am
overplaying the value of capable sub
stitutes. II is in a short series of
this sort that a man is most often
hurt All the games are desperately
fought and the men in the cast of
characters take extreme chances be-
cause the stakes are so great There
fore, the team which goes into the
series properly fortified with substf-
tutes certainly has slight advan-
tage.
