GU[STO IS HEAVIEST
OF MAJOR INFIELDERG
New Cleveland First Bascman Weighs
200 Pounds: Only ) Feet 10
Inches Tall

CLEVELAND, Ohio. April 1.-THE
ease of Louis Guisto, the young Cali
fornian who has taken Chick Gan
dilFs place as first baseman on the
Cleveland team. calls to mind that
there have been few big, heavy and
slow men who have played the initial
bag satisfactorily in recent years
Guisto is probably the heaviest in
fielder in the major leagues today. He
weights more than two hundred
poHpds and is barely feet 10 inches
tail. Guisto is the heaviest man to
play first base in the major league
since the days of Captain Anson. Dan
Brouthers, Roger Connor and Dave
Orr All these men were not fast
fielders. but terrific hitters. not only
in distance. but in the high average
of number of hits made Anson led
the league in hitting for years. and
the other three named were at the
top some years and always among the
leaders as long as they played ball.
Guisto will be obliged to give an eX-
cellent account of himself to equal
the record of these old-timers. who
were short on speed but long on hit
ting. Guisto is described as eXcep-
tionally fast and quick on his feet,
considering his weight.
GuiSto was considered the best first
baseman on the Pacific coast last
year. He played 120 games for Port
land and averaged slightly more than
one hit per game He made 122 hits,
including 33 doubles. triples and IA
home runs. His fielding average was
high He made only II errors in ac-
cepting 1,25l chances.

War Not Expected to Cause State

wants the tennis people to do. IL is
believed the decision will be in favor
OF going thru with the meets unless
conditions should grow really acute.
"W Whetner or not we have either the
open tournament or the Junior contest

tional board. and | have not yet heard

the hospital corps Of the Oklahoma
national guard. along with a half nun
drod other Sooner athletes and stu
dent leaders, and he may be called
out at any moment.
There Is no reason why the tourna-
ment should be cancelled unless mill
tary conditions make it absolutely
necessary" thinks the secretary of the
association. who, however does not
expect that he, himself, will be able
to take part
"Our tennis men who are not in a
position to Join the national guards,
the navy or the army Will be In con-
stantly better physical condition for
having spent some hours every week
on the tennis court beside that they
spend In military drill"
