But the Yanks need a thpaw hurfer to work with staff of righthanders that juggins has lined up. Harry the only other food left on the squad, won't report this year. O’Doul can hit, run, and he may go tn the if he has any trouble with pitching wing, as it bothered considerably at times last year. NOT TO COAST ‘Jim Yorke, the big Chicago Cub southpaw, may not come to the Los Angeles champions, as expected. He fs being held up by the Boston Braves, who refuse to waive on him. Yorke is said to be a promising pitch- er, but green. He was supposed to have come to the Coast as part pay ment for Arnold Statz. DRESSEN SA\S sre purchased by the Vernon ‘Tigers, has notified the Coast League club that he’s thru with organized baseball. It seems, according to baseball talk in the East, that Dres- gen told the St. Paul owners this before they put him on the market. but Dressen has always been a hard man to handle and they protably figured that he didn’t mean it, Dres- gen would practically “make” the Vernon infield as he ts said to be a fine fielder, lefthanded thrower and hitter, and one of the best base run. ners in the minors. Vernon will have to depend upon Dallas Locker and Ham Hyatt for first base pro- tection in case Dressen won't change | his mind. CUETO PLAY? ‘The Seattle club may find it a hard task—finding a place for Man-| wel Cueto to pastime. He can play any infield position except first well, and he can also work in the outfield. With “Brick” Eldred, Billy Lane and Frank Schulte all expected to be Tegulars, it will be a hard job put- ting him in the gardens. He has been figured as the regu lar third sacker right along, but Manager McCredie has started him in the outfield and may stick to Tex Wisterzil at third if he can get a fast running mate for him. Young Brovold and Adams are making strong bids for that shortstop posi tion, and with their speed they may work well enough with fhe steady Tex to plug that side of the infield Wisterzii can't cover enough ground to work with another slow man like Bill Stumpf. But with a fast shortatop he won't look #0 bad, as he's steady and experienced. PORTLAND WILL HAVE POWER ‘When it comes to batting power the, Portland Beavers shape us as one of the strongest hitting clubs in the league right now. Poole, Ken worthy, Cox, Sargent, McCann High, Thorpe, Bruggy, Elliott and Wolfer all hit .275 or better, Sar. gent and McCann were both .200 hitters in the International league two years ago, but didn’t do #0 well in the American league last season Elliott hit almost 300 and Wolfer clicked the leather onion at a pace. All the rest batted over in 1921. GOEBEL GETS HIS CHANCE Edwin Goebel has a fine chance of breaking into the Washington out field. Leon Goslin, considered of the best young outfielders to come up to the American league in years, has got off on the wrong hoof in training camp and he has been in Gefinitely suspended by Manager Milan. This leaves Goebel and Frank Brower fighting it out for right field with Clyde Milan in Jeft and Sam one was a pretty fair fly chaser, nobody ever got! excited about him as a major league prospect.
