But Oncar Vitt jhas been very fortunate in havin three fine young ball players on } | Salt Lake club this spring and they jure considered good major league prospects First and zerre, the foremost in Tony La young shortstop of the will be at that station during the series with Seattle that openn today For two years Lazerre was tried and found wanting by Duffy Lewis when the present Portland pilot skippered the Been This spring Vitt put him at that position, and the confidence Vitt gave him was all that Lazerre needed. He has been playing a | whale of a fielding game and altho Jalded by the trick Salt Lake park, he is hitting hard and at the pres. | Bees, who that ent time leads the league in home runs. He is the best shortstop that the Bees have had since Ernie Johnson's time back in 192 show and to the worth of a good man at the position it is the firat time since Johnson's day that the Bees have been as high as they are now in the Coast race. PITCHER AND OUTFIELDER STAR The other two young members of the Salt Lake club who are playing good ball are Al Mulcahy, a pitcher, and Johnny Frederick, outficlder. Mulcahy is a tall right-hander who didn't show much last year, but with more regular work under Vitt he haa blossomed out as a good pitcher Frederick, who wan picked off of the Portland sandlots a year ago, and became a star in his first sea- |won of professional ball, is playing centerfield and {s hitting well again. Cae ee LEAGUE'S LEADING HITTER HERE Lefty O'Doul, the league's lead. ing hitter, is with the Bees. O'Doul is one of those former hurlers converted into a regular be. cause of his ability with the stick. The Boo slugger is playing the gardens and is hitting well over 300. In his first season as a regu- lar, which was in 1924, O'Doul lost the league leadership in batting to Lewis, who beat him out by a small fraction in the percentages. O'Doul is exceptionally fast and his speed, along with his hitting power, makes him a valuable of. fensive player. Hennessey Losés to French Star WIMBLEDON, Eng, June 30- After a terrific fight over five sets, John Hennessey, the last surviving American, was eliminated here today in the British national tennis cham. pionships by Henry Cochet, one of the French stars.
