Show SPAVES CLOG COAST LEAGUE Too Many Veteran Pastimers, Says Walter MoCredie, Chief Overseer of Portland. The Coast league ls clogged by too many veteran pastimers, according to the wise and far-seeing Walter Mc-Credie, Mc-Credie, chief overseer of the Portland Beavers. He says: "Why, if 'Red' Killefer tries to go through another season with his present pres-ent team we'll all be kept broke buying buy-ing flowers, for there will be about fourteen funerals. Their joints squeak so much when they play that you think you are around some sort of grinding machine. It ls the young players we develop on the coast for the majors, not those who are about through and getting by on experience, that the fans talk about. There ls only one way to develop them. That is by getting 'em when they're young and playing them regularly. Their dash and spirit, their chance-taking, will make up for what they lack in baseball base-ball knowledge of tl tine points of the game." |
