FAITH PLACED IN OESCHGER

Big Righthanded Pitcher I* Dark Horse of Manager Pat Moran's Pitching Staff.

“California Joe” Oeschger (pronounced Eskger), the big righthanded pitcher who came to the Phillies in the spring of 1914 from St. Mary’s college, the baseball Incubator of the Pacific

coast, is this season the dark horse of Pat Moran’s pitching staff. In Manager Moran’s opinion and of every player on the Phillies, Oeschger should be another Alelander.
