When Chalmers Cissell was sold to the Chicago White Sox for approximately $123,000 in cash and players, Portland again turned to the Des Moines club in the Western League for a shortstop and plucked a youngster named Fritz Knothe. Now they say Knothe is likely to prove a better man than Cissell and should command a h f gh price from some big league club in the next year or two. Knothe is shown here.

McGraw's Club, Imbued With New Spirit, Appears Formidable. O'DOUL GRABS BERTH Andy Cohen Goes Great at Second Base. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April C.—Today’s hardest baseball problem: “Where will the New York Giants finish in the National League pennant race?’’ Not rated among the first three teams of the league, the Giants have won twelve straight games and are playing the best spring baseball of any team in either league. The Giants are coming north with anew spirit, a Jewish second baseman, a star left fielder and the greatest southpaw pitching prospect discovered in years. On paper John McGraw’s team looks op better than a fourth place outfit, but there is every chance for the Giants to provide the sensational upset which the National League fans are breathlessly waiting for. Bucky Harris, manager of the Senators, very carefully points out that for the first time in years McGraw’s team has not been picked to win the pennant. “McGraw is content to let the Giants enter the race out of the position of favorite,” Harris said. “The big burden is thrown on the Pirates and McGraw may knock the league for a loop in the first few weeks.” The Giants do not expect spirit to carry them along. Frank O'Doul,; who hit .373 for San Francisco, j promises to develop into one of the j greatest outfielders in the league this season. He lias plugged the left field gap which was a constant source of trouble to McGraw last year. Ed Roush is playing the best baseball of his career. His late start last year greatly handicapped the Giants. Andy Cohen has won the secondbase job and already is being hailed as a better fielder than Hornsby. He can cover more ground, the experts with the team say, and he’s better on fly balls. Fear that Cohen might not be able to hit big league pitching has been dispelled by his recent stickwork. With Cohen's star preparing to shine forth in all its radiance John McGraw is about to realize his lifelong ambition of having a Jewish . hero at the Polo Grounds. Bill Walker, a southpaw from j Denver, is the pitching find. He held the Senators to two hits Thurs- J day and has turned in a number I of fine pitching performances this j spring. “Walker may be the sensation of I the league,” McGraw said. The Giants’ infield of Terry, j Cohen, Jackson and Lindstrom sizes up as the best in the National League not barring the Pittsburgh combination of Grantham, Adams, Wright and Traynor. Hogan has developed into a firstrate catcher and the pitching staff is in far better shape this spring than a year ago. Benton. Henry, Fitzsimmons. Barnes, Walker, Mangum and Clarkson form a rather j formidable pitching staff. Delaney , Sharkey Meet April 30 Ilu I nil',l 7V- S* NEW YORK, April 6.—The Jack Dclaney-Jack Sharkey heavyweight | bcut is on for April 30.
