PURPLE SOX WILL TAKE ON ONLY GOOD PLAYERS SAN FRANCISCO, Cal . April 4 The Purple Sox, the cognomen by which the Seattle team of the Pacific Coast baseball league is to be known, is not going to take any chances with untried players according to the man ager. Bill Clymet. According to re ports Clymer is backed by more avall- able money than an other inanagei j in the league and he has been given full discretion to spend it in acquir ing men who will make up a pennant 1 winning combination. Seattle's list of players as at pres ent made up is composed almost en tirely of veterans of the game who have made their mark in one or more of the baseball leagues of the country. The roll contains such well known names as thoe of .Moose Marshall, a former Southern leaguer, Giovcr Land, veteran of several leagues; Falkenburg and Mains. ex-big leaguers; Bowman, an A A league player, Pat Bastley, Marty Kavanaugh and others According to one of the veteran coast sport writers indications are that with the present lineup of players the Seattle team is going to be lack ing in the hitting department not withstanding Its array of tried talent. This critic goes so far as to say thai there are not more than two or tlm se of the men who will be able to land In the 300 class in which he includes Jimmy Walsh and Joe Wilhoit. Of the others he says; "It Is doubtful If there is another man in the whole squad who will wallop the ball for anything like that figure and, without taking away one hit from the forth of these splendid outfielders, the fact remains that there are men equal to them in every way in every other outfield In the league." uu - Call on J.

Manager Bill Essick is well ph ased with his charges and is of the opinion that the club that de feats his team will be a penant con tender. "I am not making any boasts," said Essick today, "but I believe the club that beats our nine this season will win the penant." The play of the Tigers this training season fully justifies the- optimism of I their manager. The boys have shown up well in practice, and, unless the other teams of the circuit have been strengthened over last year in a much greater proportion, the Tigers are go ing to be a very hard team to win from. The club is unusually well fortified In the catching department and De Vermel' i '.ok and (.iiauian lnuk i !. as good a trio as has bei n in the Ver non backstop department in many moons. They are all heady catchers and have already shown that they have lost nothing of their former p-p and are working catchers. They may also be depended upon to hit the ball in the pinches, and their ability as backstops is unquestioned. The pitching staff is past the ex perimental stage and there are a num ber of twirlers upon whom Essick knows that he can depend. The vet erans, Fromme and Chech, are show ing big league form, despite the cool weather that has prevailed for soim 1 time. These two urny be depended upon to win their share of games this season. Dell, Houck. Buckles, Reiger and Fin m ran are nlsr pitching a fine ar ticle of ball, and it is going to be a difficult problem Or Essick to decide whom to let go when the weeding-out ' process begins.

With Chadbourne, Miller and Al cock scampering in the gardens, Es sick has no cause to worry about his outfield, as all these men aie finished performers and know how to wallop the horsehlde. Altogether, the Vernon Tigers look very good this year and will furnish the Salt Lake City fans a real treat when they open there next Tuesday. When the Cubs met Vernon today they were 25 er cent stronger than ben they tangled with the Angels a few days ago, thanks to better and warmer training weather. Toda the Chlcagbans were thoroughly thawed out The Tigers today were in better rendition than ihe Angels when they met the Cubs, thanks to three or four additional training day9. Essick continues to work his squad morning, noon and almost into the night, whether in sunshine, rain or slush.
