"IFS" PREDOMINATE BASEBALL OUTLOOK FOR SEATTLE TRIBE
[Training Camp Season
I Will Iron Out Answers
Gregg, Shaw, Goebel, Cueto, Ken worth y-K. rug Deal
and Connolly Are AH Uncertain; Catchers Sure of.
Jobs
BY LEO 11. LASSEN
\NY "if#" figure in Seattle's baseball outlook
for the 1922 season, with the opening of the
training season but a few weeks in the
offing.
Here are a few of them:
IF Vean Gregg can pitch like he used to
he will be the class of the league's south
paw?. V
IF Jim Shaw's knee is O. K. and he has re
covered from his wildness, which always
marred his work in the big show, he will
rank with the best righthanders in the cir
cuit
— WUIU
IF Tommy Connolly lives up to expectations he will plug
second base acceptably.
IF s deal is completed with Portland for the transfer of
Marty Krug and Bill Kenworthy Krug will step into the key
stone job and Connolly take over the shortstop position.
IF Edwin Goebel is turned over to Seattle by Washington
he will complete one of the greatest outfields in the minors.
IF Manud Cueto has lost none of his baseball skill during
his two-year lay-off he will plug the third base gap in the
Seattle club.
It's a great life, this 4'if"
business, and only time will
tell how they are to turn out

It la far f> win certain that E4-

atlle thla year. The Internation
al leatoe star promised to Seat

the Kay Francis transaction may
he retained by Washington If
they can sarint the deal with Se
attle. The recent trade that
IC rocked the bit league* In which
Roger Perklnpaugh, Joe Acoala,
Bint Bint Miliar and Joe llutsn
were Involved, sent Aenata and
Miller to the Athletics from
Washington. This left the Na
tionals with but three outfielders.
They need a good right handed
hitting fly cop and (iorbel la jast
that. Already Waahington has
started to dicker with Seattle for
the substitution of a man or twe
for Ibe Reading graduate.

The big question is: How did they get him out of the majors? We're refer
ring to Pete Kilduff, the infielder obtained from Brooklyn via Cincinnati
by the San Francisco Seal*. For the past two or three years Kilduff has
rated as a good inNelder with the Dodgers, Hitting Consistently around .280.
He is expected to play second base or shortstop for the Bay City team. He
is no veteran, being but 28 years old.
Washington Faces Big
Cage Series Next Week
Huskies Battle Idaho Vandals on Their Home Floor;
Idahoans Have Five-Man Combination Play; Last
Trip of Season for Locals
IDAHO'S Vandals, tied with Washington In the coast con
ference race and touted as the strongest five the
Huskies will meet this season, will attempt to stop Wash
ington. February 14 and 15, on the Moscow floor. Wash
ington will meet Washington State in a return series at
Pullman, 17 and 18, and return for the last
games of" the season with the Oregon Aggies in Seattle
March 3 and 4.
Whether Idaho has l>een over-advertised is the question
that Coach Kdmundson's ball-tossera will determine when
they tangle with the' Vandals next week. Idaho has only
played four games in the
Coast race, taking a pair
from Oregon by long scores
and nosing*out Pullman in
one win and taking the other
by a good margin.
The Vandal* have not up

Huekiae have mad*, but Coach

KNNY LEONARD opens his "tournament for
lightweight contenders" tonight at Madisoc
Square Garden against Uocky Kansas, the
squat, hard-socking Italian.
Since winning his title, Leonard has
graduated into a class by himself, until he
stands in about the same relation to the
rest of the 135-pound mitt men that Jack
Dempscy does to the world's crop of heavy
weight fighters.
l>eonard has announced that he will give
•■very lightweight with a record impressive enough to en
title hnn to a chance, a crack at the title during the present
year, and will then retire.
That BSnny will retire while at the top of his fighting
career, however, is doubtful. If he goes thru the year
without defeat, which appears practically certain, he is
likely to enter the welterweight division in search of new
worlds to conouer. Leonard is a heavy lightweight as it is.
and will probably be stronger
if he fights at hia natural
poundage, which is about 140
pound*.
