EXPECT MUCH OF HoLLocHER
Former Central Association Boy to Fill
Gan in Cub lnfield,


Chicago, Nov 21.-Charles Holloch-
er. the highly touted shortstop purchase
ed by the Chicago Cubs from the Port
land club, OF the Pacific Coast League,
probably will be the athlete Manager
Mitchell will choose to fill that gap
for the 1918 team. This youngstcr
played a steady game throughout the
Coast League season. He took part
in 200 games and finished with bat
ting average of .276 and was the Sec
ond best run -getter of the league. with
1Ss to his credit. He was topped by
Johnny Tobin, former Federal
Lacquer, who scored 14s times in 1S9
games.
Hollocher scored a24 base hits, OF
which thirty-two were doubles and
eight triples. He had only, two homers.
The youngster made twenty EIGHT sac
ri1ce hits and stole thirty four bases.
Al Baum. president Of the Coast
League. who was in Chicago recently
on his way to Louisville, spoke OF Hoi.
locher as a real sensation.
Forget all about his fielding and
throwing" said Baum. "Maranville and
Bancroft have nothing on him In COW
ering ground and throwing. He is the
greatest fielder have ever seen. IT Is
not spasmodic with him, but steady
from day to day. He is full Of ginger
and in the game every moment. He Is
also fairly good hitter and will Inn
prove under the management Of Fred
Mitchell. The fact that ne battsd 27s
on the coast convinces me that Ne Will
hit mighty close to that figure in the
National. Mr.. Weeghman should be
congratulated on picking this boy, as
I predict he Will Re real STAR within
year, and believe he will surprise
the Chicago fans"
