SEATTLE, Dec. 16 (UP)—Bill Schuster, infielder for the Seattle Rainiers of the Pacific Coast league, who was handed an outright release, was reported Saturday negotiating for a manager's berth with the Vancouver, B. C. team of the Class "B" Western International league.

Caps Post Still Empty
SEATTLE, Dec. 19— The Seattle Baseball club is having trouble helping the Vancouver Capilanos fill their vacant managerial post. Three candidates have been proposed — two have declined and the third is doubtful.
Earl Sheely, general manager of the Pacific Coast league club, said the latest refusal came from Catcher Bill Salkeld. Infielder Tony York rejected this offer earlier. Both said they prefer to continue playing in faster leagues.
Still a possibility, but also believed shopping for a Coast league berth, is shortstop Bill Schuster.
