Show T SA r rEE WRITER SAYS BEES EE NEED BOLSTERING Believes Eddie Herr Will Do Lots of Worrying If He Ie Expects to Put Present Salt Lake Team Into the Race By Al Ai C. C Joy Veteran Pacific Coast Legue Critic of tho the San Francisco Examiner Written exclusively for The Telegram I 7 I AN FRANCISCO April S Time The The Salt Salt La Lake o gents who have been sluicing sinking ln their spikes Into the soil soli of Pittsburg for forthe the tho past three weeks have folded up their kit bags and arid gone gono homo horno And now that the they have gone and there Is 13 no danger danler of ot Eddie Herr landing landing- a ponderous paw upon the anatomy I of yours ours trul truly wo we can tell the tho truth about them You know lenow a n fellow who predictions in fri the springtime is 18 as ns bright ht as a a. lead dollar When the fall comes aroun around he resembles a prophet as a resembles the ostrich So there Is to be bo no prophesying on the part of the humble party part behind the keys kc's of or the he typewriter as to where time the Salt Lake club will finish In th the league race The only prophecy to be ventured is that Mr Herr I will be bo doing doln so 80 much worrying It If he sticks to his pre present ont lineup that he I I will waste a away to a shadow You'll seo Eddie weighing not more than six I or seven hundred pounds TEAM WELL TRAINED I j The Salt Lake team is a a. well trained j I organization Eddlo Eddie has worked with tho the thoI boys so 80 diligently that even CYon Tub Spencer Spencer Spen Spen- I who sho ho Is not regarded as any Nerd Mord- kin on his toes Jumps over the Loss los I finger at the first command As far Car as ns condition Is concerned there can be bo no complaint And In certain positions positiOn on the club Herr Is well fortified He lie has hasa a good catcher catch r beyond question There Is nono none better In the league c than Spencer and he ma may be the Moses to lead several of the young pitchers out of oC tho tIme wilderness wilderness wilder wilder- ness neBS or of oC Inexperience Per Personally lna l I 1 regard Earl Eul Sheely as the greatest c folding first baseman I h have ever seen leen possibly excepting Hal Chase Chas j And Earl I Is a 1 hitter too although h It must mun be candidly set et forth that he was never much of oC a willow wielder In San Francisco The a averages show what Karl Earl can do hO As to tie tic est cst of the Infield I 1 have mv my doubts doubt Mart Marly Krug rug m-i m may he a great second baseman bucman I but Lut It Is yet jet et lo to he be proved lIe He doesn't look to tr bo be particularly ta fast rast t. t nor to bo be a great creat hitter but ho Is as smart a player I HS Ms will probably bly b be s I een oell In the lie league tue at third and Johnson at nt short I I ar are right In the pink of oC condition and will show Kho well In time the fielding division but neither i Is going to knock the tho cover I off the ball Johnson Is a fair tall hitter and Is 18 a a. fast man on the tho bases but hut he lie Isn't going to be lie able to furnish h all tho the speed for or the tho club The Tho outfIeld Is better than Luau might be bethought bethought thought han Harl Maggert has shown pretty well In practice and If his Injured knee I does doe not bother him a again aln he will prove that he Is still tho the hustling bustling base base- stealing player of ot old Mulvey e is a good fielder 1 possibly a good goed hitter and possessed of a palm pall of fleet neet feet can hit and that appears to lo be th th- th biggest biggest big big- gest sest boost for him BEES DO NOT FIGURE Leaving Lea out the pitching staff starr I would say I a that this combination is not comparable comparable com corn parable with San Francisco Francisco's s nor yet et with Oaklands Oakland's nor with Nor could It be comparable with Sacramento's Sacramento s sIf I I It If Sacramento could start the season with Marts Mart McGaffigan 1 at short It Is hi stronger than thai the Angel Ansel Infield which Is still weak seak at two points point It Is stronger than Vernons Vernon's which doesn't look any too stout anywhere And It looks to be Just Juet about on a par with Seattle's save flae that t Seattle has las a better looking outfield outfield out out- field or will have havo when Compton comes cornea I to Join Walsh and Wilhoit In the pitching department there thero are o classy clasay heavers heaven Leverenz IA the fans know There Is III no better left lert- hander bander In the league They know Adolph I I too and anti lo ought to bo ho howorth worth his weight In gold That ma nay may bean bo be bonn an nn extravagant extra statement for Cor Adolph weighs about a n ton now after his year jear ear I of senico In th th arm army But nut he has hal shown shonn shonna a lot of or class claps In the practice games Tho The big impression made b by a pitcher on oil the visitors to was made b by I I Markle Ho lie looks to have havo the tho confidence deuce dence the tho poise that thal goes with a a. winner and he unquestionably has the goods to todell I r dell deliver l er Now of the rest t of oC tho the pitchers there Is not much to bo he said ald The They might win wina In a lot of games If It the they get off to a hood good I start and the they might lose a n lot AnYway Any Anyway Va way three high class pitchers will AnY I not I be enough to keep the he club going Herr has banked upon getting Lefty I ODoul Iron from the Yankees but accordIng accordIng according accord- accord Ing to the Ne New York
