10 ALL THE LIVE WIRE NEWS AND VIEWS OF THE WORLD'S SPORTING ACTIVITIES PICKS RED CRANE AS REAL COMER Eddie Zimmerman Praises Connie Mack For Signing Harrisburg Star Infielder Eddie Zimmerman last season's manager of the Harrisburg Interna tional League team is breaking into print. He is a great admirer of young players and in a recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer praises Connie Mack for signing Red Crane of Har risburg: and Put Mo ran for his good work. Manager Zimmerman who will be with Newark this year says: 'Connie Mack made no mistnke when ho acquired Shortstop Crane. The latter was bv far the best short stop in the circuit last year and was getting better all the time. The best thing about the youth Is that he is brainy and quick to learn the fine points of infield defense. I don't hesi tate to say that Crane will become as valuable a shortstop as Jack Barry or Joe Tinker. "Crane doesn't knock down fences, but I don't see any shortstops doing that. Crane will hit hard enough to keep in the big show." Zimmerman hasn't much praise for Pick, the third baseman. "lie's not a star." declared Zimmerman, "and there were three or four third base men !n the International League last season who were his superiors. "I see that Pat Moran will have to let out a lot of pitchers to get down to the twenty-one-player limit, but I think that Oescheer will escape the pruning knife. He looked better than any pitcher in the league last year. He had lots of stuff and was always a cool, confident performer. "He fielded his position like a Math twson and altogether he looked like a real pitcher. Oeschger rejoined the Phils near the end of the season, but didn't have much chance to show his "wares.
