Guisto, Released By
Cleveland, Signs
With Oakland
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. ID

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA
Louie Guisto, released last
week by the Cleveland Ameri-
cans, has been signed up by his
old love, Oakland, for the bal
ance of the season, and will
probably cavort around first
base from time to time. Guisto's
signing does not mean that
Lafayette, who with Jack
Knight has been holding down
the initial sack, will go, but
will be used regularly either at
first or one of the other infield
positions as occasion may war
rant.
Guisto found the humid cli-
mate of the East too hard on
his lungs as the result of being
gassed in the war, and ex-
pressed a desire to Iris Speaker
to get back to California sun
shine
Vernon and other clubs were
also angling for Guisto's serv-
ices.

Louis was unable to report to the
Indians in 1919 and played that
season and the next with the Oak

League. The following year he re-
ported to the tribe in the training

on Guisto coming through as his

he told Louie" the job was his,
and the big Indian certainly made
great effort to fulfill "Spoke's"

In. the hundreds of All-American'
arrangements which Skillet" Finn,
Esq, who is interceding for the
Washington public in the Babe"
Ruth All-American selection for
1928, has received, there is less con-
troversy over he outfield berths,
probably, than any other group Of
playing positions.
Almost unanimously Speaker,
Heilmann, and Jameson are being
chosen, some placing them in the
very same positions. while others
shift them around a little, always
keeping them in the outer pasture,
however. Here and there the Will
liams boys, he OIL st. Louis as
well as he of Philadelphia, creep
into the outfield personnel, but to-
day is the first time that Mr..
Samuel Rice has hove into view as
a possible decoration in Mr.. Ruth's
forthcoming proclamation.
How many other Washing
tonians think Rice, who wanted
to be pitcher when he first en-
tered the American League ranks
and who has developed into one
of the sweetest little outfielders
that either league has ever
known, will be picked by "Babe?"
Rice is not the only Griffman
who has been mentioned, Incl.
dentally, since Skillet" started his
latest baseball debate.
Peckinpaugh, who none can deny
is burning up that shortstop job, Is
being freely mentioned as Babes
choice for that important post.
Rue1 has been a big favorite for
the catching honors and Walter
Perry Johnson is only today being
quoted as able to win two out of
three games with any of several
combination of all-star teams be-
hind him.
So, you see, although Washing
ton as a team, cannot at this time
be mentioned when discussing a
world series, it's component parts,
which is far from a bad expression,

Ill feeling grew out Of protests.
Teams that failed to win their
points in baseball court were embit-
tered against the victors, the series
management, umpires; and in not a
few cases sought what they judged
TO be retaliation by quitting the
series.
It Is the history Of sandlot baseball
that this latter course has seldom,
II ever, gained anything for the re-
signing team and more often than
not has wrought injury.
Discord in the present series has
been so little that managers who
piloted teams through the baseball
storm Of 1922 wonder over the
change.
One little rule inserted in the
series laws has done the trick, it
seems.

Earnings of class / railroads in the
United States during December came
close TO setting a new high record for
several years, according to complete

Because of the heavy volume of traf-
fc, the total revenues from operation
were s5l3.575.oo0 during the month, or
20 per cent more than in December
or 1921, and the net income was S19-
10000, as compared with S7SS690On
during the same month year ago
This earning rate. il maintained for
the year. would give an annual return
or o.lJ per cent on the value of all

cording to statement of the Asso-

mentirg on the returns.
FOR the entire year of 1922 the net
