Lou Castro Signs to Manage
Portsmouth Again Next Year
By .S. Farnsworth.
Smiling lou < -astro, who
would win a popularity con
test if one was ever started
in Atlanta, has just signed to man
age the portsm <>uth club in the
Virginia league next season. He
will MANAGE the team. too. in
1913. He was signed as manager
this year, but was only a figure
head. One of the owners of the
club proved a regular John I. Tay
lor, and his butting in on Castro
brought a leading club down the
ladder with a sickening thud.
This 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.
♦ ♦ •
F"'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, but, 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 ieader-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.”
• * *
that Dug Harbison is lost
to the Crackers, it means a
lot of hard work for Billy Smith
to develop another youngster as
promising. But it was almost a
cinch that Harbison would be
nailed, and why the local directors
didn't “covet- 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 bushgr 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’i they take care of Harbison?
A blind man could see that he
would be drafted.
* * *
t DO not believe that Harbison will
* make the Y'ankees next year.
He needs about one more year of
seasoning in a strong minor league.
It is probable that Manager Harry

Wolverton will send him to John
Ganzel in Rochester. Still these 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

Wolverton will remember that he
owes Messrs. Callaway, Ryan and
Nunnally something and let Har

Here's hoping that he does wear
a Cracker uniform next season if
he is found not ripe for the Ameri

Billy Smith, the Crackers' manager, who
is here attending the meeting of the na
tional commission, is hot-footing it for
another infielder.
"I sure am sorry to lose Harbison."
said Smith this morning, "but I will try
|to land a good man to fill his berth. 1
have no doubt Harbison will make good
in fast company, although he may need
another year’s -seasoning in the Interna

Following are the drafts from the
Southern league to date:
From Birmingham, Player Yantz, by St.
Louis Americans.
Chattanooga. Balenti, by St. Louis

)\ aco, Jost, by Detroit Americans.
Knoxville. Wilson, by Cleveland Ameri
cans.
Jacksonville. Cueto, by St. Louis Ameri

The selection of Johnson, of Birming

Pirate Wilson Been Big Aid
To Giants in Stopping Cubs
By \V. J. Mcßeth.
J(,)WEN WILSON, whose serv
ices were acquired by the
Pirates through the medium
of the draft five years ago. seems
entitled to another cognomen this
year other than the one that has
been bestowed on him—“ The King
Pin Smiter of Three-Baggers."
Just as Lew Richie has been dubbed
the "Giant Killer," so should the
Pirate right fielder be termed the
"Cub Slayer," for figures do not
lie, and the figures show that J
Owen did more than his share to
ward winning several games re
corded as Pirate victories and Cub
defeats.
Wilson always was a timely hit
ter—he b itted in over 100 runs last
year—and his performance with
tile stick this season shows that he
is desetving of some votes that are
to be cast by the newspaper jury
as living 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 <uie, 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
scores ieveals:
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
on the bases.
Wilson has ripped off 34 three
baggers, getting seventeen of these
hits off pitchers of teams of his
own section and the same number
off hurlers on clubs from the region
east of the Alleghenies, which would
indicate that in the National league
the East has it on the West this
year so far as curvers go. The 34
three-baggers made tills year- by
Wilson are enumerated below:
April 13—Off Geyer, St. Louis.
April 18—Off Sallee, St. Louis.
I April 23—Off Brown, Chicago.
April 27—Off Fromme and Hor
sey, Cincinnati.
May 3 —Off Cheney, Chicago.
May 4—Off Reulbr.ch. Chicago.
May 21—Off Brown, Boston.
May 25—Off Lavender, Chicago
(2).
May 30—Off Sallee. St. Louis.
June 17—Off Marquard, New
York.
June 18—Off Crandall, New
York.
June 19—Off Woodburn. St.
Louis.
June 2C—Off Fromme. Cincin
nati.
June 20—Off Keefe and Gaspar,
Cincinnati.
July 2—Off Cheney. Chicago.
July 4—Off Taylo', Cincinnati.
July B—Off Schultze, Philadel
phia.
July 16—Off Yingling. Brooklyn.
July 17—Off Mathewson, New
York.
July 19—Off Marquard, New
York.
July 22—Off Brown, Boston.
July 25—Off Stack, Brooklyn.
July 26—Off Mocre, Philadelphia.
August 10—Off Curtis, Brooklyn.

adelphia.
