L ’ Mold hv ell «1f » i.t* i 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 OPTICAL WORK OF TOE HIGHEST CLASS Is what Dr. Hines, the Opto metrist. gives in every case.

TUESDAY. SE 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 use of Poncy park for spring train ing last March. It just may be that Wolverton will remember that he owes Messrs. Callaway, Ryan and Nunnally something and let Har bison drift back tor a season. Here's hoping that he does wear a Cracker uniform next season if he is found not ripe for the Ameri can league brand of ball. THE BASEBALL CARD. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Games Today. Philadelphia in Chicago.

Sept- 17,—Douglas Harbi son, the promising young shortstop of the Atlanta club, has been drafted by the New York American League club, and 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 tional or Southern leagues." Following are the drafts from the Southern league to date: From Birmingham, Player Yantz, by St. Louis Americans. Chattanooga. Balenti, by St. Louis Am er! cans. Montgomery, Walker, by St. Louis Americans. . Nashville, Welchonce, by New York Americans. New Orleans. Wagner, by Brooklyn Na tionals. Atlanta, Harbison, by New York Amer icans.

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.
