Zsmioch is well known throughout
california and In the states OF mon
tana and Utah. He has played COZ
lege and semi-pro baseball all though
that mart Of California near San Fran
Nisco. He was q member or one OF
- teams in the Humboldt county
hague. an organization that gained
Isl Of local publicity while 1t was run
dfne. and he was with the San Fran
C3sco team In the Pacific Coast league.
He came to the Tigers from the MIS-
noulm club In the Union association,
which includes cities in Montana ana
Utah.
besides that Fam has several broth
ers. q couple of whom made names Tor
themselves in California baseball, one
of them being In the big league for
while. getting a trial with the Atm
letics and being forced down by IN
1uries.
Carts father is retired magician.
Who has appeared on the stage all
over the country for many years.
Winter baseball has always been
more or less popular with many OF
the big leaguers whose home is In Cal
y ifornia. Hal Chase, for instance. the
White Con star hrst sacker, has played
Il many q year II would probably be
hut little trouble to recruit club
from Native Sons to fill In around
Cobb. unless he takes the world tour
The Tigers themselves could fur
nish four OF the men with Cobb. Fam
loch, Stanage and Witt. II is rather
doubtful that 6tanage would consent
to take trip, for he doesn't play base
ball when he doesn't have to. Last
winter he contented himself with
hunting most Of the year, using gas
oline launch as his means Of locomo-
ton. All the stories about his partici-
pating In winter baseball are exag-
gerated, he says himself. for he has
played In only few games. Oscar
Witt might be persuaded to join the
bunch. however.
With Hal Chase and the Tigers. a
catcher, pitcher. frst sacker, second
sacker and outhelder are provided
Cor. Buck Weaver. a great personal
friend of Witt, now playing short for
che White Sox might be the shortstop,
unless he takes that world tour that
the Sox are talking about. Rollie
Zoider, although not a native son, has
played In the Pacific Coast league, and
would be an attraction as third sacker
out there. The outfield would be easy
with Hooper and Lewis of the Red
4ox, two Of the greatest trio OF out
MelderS IN the world, both from Cali
Sornia. Ping Bodie. formerly Pacific
coast fence buster, could be the third
outfelder, unless he too joined the
0ox on their world tour. Then there
10 Buddy Ryan Of the Maps also. And,
Daley, the new Athletics outfelder,
who was secured from the Pacific
coast league this year by Mack. Daley
isn't an N. g. but he says that he
y going to spend his winters In Cali
fOrnia.
Il II evident that there is plenty OF
material from which to pick up club
Of Californians with whom TO sur
round the great Tyrus.
Zsmlcch says that Cobb is the most
talked Of player in the west When
