This was the largest number of managers ever to graduate from one team, Walter McCredie, Kid Mohler, Pete Loh- man, Byron McGibbon, J, Andrews, Ducky Holmes and Billy Traffley were the seven. McCredie gained fame at Portland, Mohler in the Coast league, and Holmes in the big |* time. Holmes was manager of the Victoria |™*"" Northwestern league once for about three weeks.

LASSEN AN JOSE; March 22,—Back in the regular training stride aguin aft- er a hectic day of uncertainty as to who was going to run the club, the Seattle Indiana start their fi drive in thefr training for the long Coast league season When Red Killefer announced here yesterday that Harry Wolverton |would continue as pilot, the team to A man was tickled pink and—just watch that club go now! Killefer said definitely that Wolver- | ton would be in absolute charge of the ball club, as one-man rule is the only succeestul management of a ball team. Killefer and Charley Lockhard, the principal owners of the team now, showed good baseball judgment when they kept Wolverton tn the saddle, There has been plenty of Kossip go- ing the rounds in Const league clr- cles, that the purchase of tho club was a political move, When it was first announced that Killefer would take the management of the team in place of Wolverton, the fans up and down the Coast were given plenty of reading matter by the scribes in ev- ery Coast league city, that Wolverton was the victim of politics. Retaining Wolverton saved the situation, As things now shape up, with Wol- verton at the helm, the outlook Is pretty good. For the first time in the history of Coast league baseball, Seattle hag a real baseball organtza- tlon, a combinatton comprised of real baseball men, Lockhard undoubtedly will be presi: dent of the club; Killefer, secretary. treasurer; Nick Williams, business manager, and Harry Wolverton, manager. Who will be the vice pres- dent remains for the men them. solves to vote upon. Lockhard, as business manager of the Los Angoles club last year, showed good baseball instinct, and he's a level-headed fellow. Killefer has some valuable mond associations in the Bast and will be invaluable In helping Wolver ton, while Willlams {s an Ideal man for the job of business manager, as he has had a long tenure of service in baseball, It’s the brainiest combination by far that Seattle has had, and with a food ball club and with the conf dence of the players restored, the In- dians ought to make a wonderful showing under the Gray Wolf.

IS FONSECA ~ AS GOOD AS R. HORNSBY? HEN Patrick Moran talks, he usually says something worth while. Patrick, you know, won the first pennants in years and years for Philadelphia and Cincinnati in the National league, ploced together mis- fit aggregations until they champions, ‘Therefore Patrick's judgment on a recruit carries considerable weight. The latest from Moran is that the National league has another Rogers Hornsby. It is funny how rookies come in and are touted as duplicates of the stars of the profession. But don't forget that the critics laughed when Sisler was boomed as a of Tyrus Cobb. Louis Fonseca, became George duplicate ond baseman, ts on Hornsby's trail in the opinion of Moran, Maybe yes and maybe no, ‘This youngster, hopping from the semi-pro corners of the Pacific Coast regions, in one season became a .861 batter in the National league. That was his record in tho league last year, playing in 8&1 games, and he was topped only by Hornsby, Reb Russell of the Pirates and Casey | Stengel of the Giants. Fonseca is not the dashing type of Frankie Frisch, He 4s of tall, slender build, along the lines of Tyan Olson of the Brooklyn Superbas. In trailing a ball, however, ho hangs his chin close to the dirt. Ho pounces upon a ball like a cat going over to second base, and ts gifted with a natural throw for a second baseman—underhanded, “I thought I would create a bit of excitement when I sald that Fonseca 1 be another Rogers Hornsby: in ar," remarked Moran recently, t if you remember, last spring I sald that the Reds would finish in the first division when practically all of thg critics said we would rub shouldérs with the Phillies for the collar.’ MYRTLEDALE SPRINGS, Cal.

He always had a good |record as a baserunner in the Inter: jnational league, but never had a real chance to show what he could do last year, Barney stepped on @ bunch of bats last spring and dis. located a cartilage in his knee, which handicapped him all season, We all know what Lane and El- dred can do, There won't be any keeping this pair out of the outfield, And: this fellow Rohwer looks like a great hitter, of the slugging variety. He can field, run and throw, too, and looks like a star in this company, If Wolverton decides to carry five outfielders, Hunky Schorr will wet the call because of his hitting ability, His fielding has been picking up some too, If Hunky can put his arm tn con- dition he may be carried as a handy man, as Schorr can pitch when his jarm is in shape and when he beara down.
