PICKERING ANOTHER
YOUNGSTER KICKING THRIr

There are many young ball players
being given a chance to play reSu-
larry in the Coast league this year
and among them is young Pickering.
an outfielder with the Oakland team.
Pickering doesn't get the attention
from the scribes that some OF the
other more colorful players do, but
whenever he is given a chance TO
play he always gives a good account
Of himself. He's right-handed
hitter and bears watching. He has
been alternating with Buzz Arlett in
right field and he must be plenty
good to shove such good hitter as
Arlett on to the bench.
