Smiling lou castro, who would win a popularity con test if one was ever started in Atlanta, has just signed to man age the Portsmouth club in the \ irgini i league next season. He will MANAGE the team, too, in 191.1. He was signed as manager this year, but was only a figure head. fine of tlie owners of the slab provt d a regular John I. Tay lor, and his butting in on Castro brought a leading club down the ladder with a sickening thud. T his owner, a minority stock holder, after ‘disorganizing the team, tried to pass the buck and make Castro the goat. But Lou stuck to the guns like the noble soldier he is and has finally won out. This buttinski-part owner has been forced to sell his stock, and next year, with some "regular guys" behind the club and with Castro a real manager, Portsmouth is sure to have a winning combina tion. » ♦ » ASTRO is keen for young Keat ing, an infielder the Crackers secured from Portsmouth. Lou be lieves this youngster is going to make good, but fears that Detroit may draft him. "Keating only hit .230’with me this year, hut, believe me, he was always on the job when a hit was needed,” said Castro. "And what a fielder he is! Can cover as much ground as Barry, of the Athletics, and has an arm every bit as good. Fast as streaked lightning on the bases and a corking leader-off. He can get on oftener than any man I ever knew. “I know that the Detroit club is after Keating. One of their scouts looked him over and was highly impressed with his work. I am afraid Jennings may put in a draft for him. If they do, the Atlanta club will lose the best younster I ever saw in action.” * ♦ ♦ >\V that Dug Harbison is lost to the Crackers, it means a lot of hard work for Billy Smith to develop another youngster as promising. P>ut it was almost a cinch that Harbison would be nailed, and why the local directors didn't "cover him” is far beyond me. They saw to it that Agler was salted, yet there was more chance of Harbison being drafted than there was that a major league club would put in a bid for the first baseman. Agler has "been up” and failed. Not that his fielding wasn’t good enough. Goodness knows that boy is a regular Hal Chase on the de fensive stuff, but he couldn't hit a. lick. Once a player has failed to make good in the select society, he is not much sought afterward. On the other hand, Harbison, as green as any busher that ever came out of the tall uncut when he joined the Crackers this year, im proved with startling bounds. Messrs. Callaway. ’Ryan and Nunnally verily know their busi ness. but for the Love of Mike why didn’t they take care of Harbison? blind man could see that he would be drafted. ♦ ♦ * i D< • not believe that Harbison will *■ make the Yankees next y--ir. He needs about ou» more year of seasoning in a strong minor league. It is probable that Manager Harry OPTICAL WORK OF THE HIGHEST CLASS Is what’ Dr. Hines, the Opto metrist, gives in every case.

TI’ESDAY. SEPTEMBER 17. 1912. Wolverton will send him to John Ganzel in Rochester. Still there is a chance that Dug will be turned over to Billy Smith. Surely the lat ter is as well qualified to instruct the young man as Long John of International fame. And the New York club still owes the Atlanta club a heap of good things. They have never come across with anything for the use of Poncy park for spring train ing last -March. It just may he that Wolverton will remember that he owes Messrs. Callaway. Ryan and Nunnally something and let Har bison drift back for a season. Here's hoping that he does wear a Cracker uniform next season if he is found not ripe for the Ameri- brand of ball.

OWEN WILSON, whose serv ices we-e acquired by the Pirates through the medium of the draft five years ago. seems entitled to another eognofnen this year othei titan tiff’ one that has been bestowed on him "The King I’in Smiter of Three-Baggers.” Just as Lew Richie has been dubbed tin "Giant Killer,", so should the Pirate right fielder be termed the "Cub Slayer," for figures do not lie, and the figures shop that J Owen did more than his share to ward winning several games re corded as Pirate victories and Cub di feats. Wilton always was a timely hit tei -he batted in over 100 runs last year—and his performance with tile stick this season shows that he is deserving of some votes that are to lie east by the newspaper jury as biing the most valuable player to his team, and therefore entitled to a Chalmers car. Fans have nothing to say in this competition, which is a silent one. but the fig ures speak, and they show that Wilson ought to be extremely pop ular in New York and extremely unpopular in Chicago. Here is what close analysis of the box semes reveals: April 23 —Pittsburg defeated Chi cago, 5 to 3. Wilson batting in two of the Pirates’ runs, crossing the plate once himself and staving off a rally by the Cubs in the ninth inning by making a sensational catch of Zimmerman’s bid for a home run when Tinker and Hof man were on the bases. May 26 —Pittsburg defeated Chi cago. 3 to 1, Wilson batting in two of the Pirates' tallies with a double and scoring their third run. September 3—Pittsburg defeated Chicago. 1 to 0, Wilson batting in one run. September 4—Pittsburg defeated .Chicago, 5 to 2, Wilson settling is sue of game by poling homer in eighth inning when score was tied and when Wagner and Miller were cn the bases. Wilson has ripped off 34 three b.iggvrs, getting seventeen of these hits off pitchers of teams of his ow n* section ami the same number off hurlers on clubs from the region l ist of the Alleghenies, which would indicate that in the National league the East lias It on the West this year so far as carvers go. Tlie 34 three-baggers made tills yea by Wilson are enumerated below: April 13—Off Geyer, St. Louis. Ap'il 18 —Off Sallee. St. Louis. April 23—Off Brown, Chicago. April 27—Off Fromme and Hor sey. Cincinnati. May 3 —Off Cheney, Chicago. May 4 —Off Reulbach, Chicago. May 21 —Off Brown, Boston. May 25—Off Lavender, Chicago (2). May 30—Off Sallee. St. Louis. June 17—Off Marquard, New York.
