Pittsburgh in Woeful Need of Strengthening: Chaney Gets Decision, But Fans Pick Herman
DREYFUSS UP AGAINST IT
IN SEARCH FOR PLAYERS
Pirates Require Bolstering in Both Infield and Gar*
den, But Lack Trading Material Acceptable
to Rival Managers.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.
NEW YORK, January 7.?Pittsburgh is one team in the National
League, at least, that needs strengthening, but Barney Dreyfuss
does not know where in the world he is going to get the players.
When Cutshaw went out of the National from Pittsburgh to Detroit, all
the other seven clubs, except Pittsburgh, waived claim on a second base
man who played the best game of his life in 1921. "As much as Brooklyn
needs infielders we did not need Cutshaw back," said Charley Ebbets.
Which is another way of saying that he and Robbie take it for granted
that Cutshaw is sere and yellow.
Pittsburgh had held him. hoping
that he would be good trading ma
terial. but It was not Cutshaw who
was wanted when Gibson suggested
trade or when some one suggested
trade to the Pittsburgh manager. So
waivers were asked, thinking possibly
that he would slip through both cir
cuits. but to the surprise of PIUs
l.urgh. Detroit claimed him, and if he
plays as well for Detroit as he did for
T'ittsburgh last season Ty Cobb hasn t
hurt his team one iota, no matter
what else may have happened.
FaoN Hemember Wreck In*.
Pittsburgh realizes as much as any
team in the National League that
something must bo done to bolster
tlx strenirth. The last-minute wreck
ing of the Flrates in September never
?will be forgotten by the wtts*)"rgilJ
fans, and it is quite likely that it
won't be forgotten by the Pittsburgh
team all through the year to come.
There will be plenty who will remind
the players of it from the cover ol
the bleachers. .,
Dreyfuss knows that he Is weak on
the infield and he can't get along with
hia outfield. The minute that he
starts to talk trade the other clubs
?want the players whom he will not,
relinquish. He can't afford to uacri
fice pitching strength, because ne
hasn't a surplus and that which he
has is mighty good.
Every club with which trade has
been suggested almost without ex
c-ptlon has asked for Tierney. and
while the player is not a good ranger
on the infield, as he covers scant
ground. Dreyfuss will not let him go,
presumably because he can bat.
New York players say frankly that
one of the reasons for their success
In Pittsburgh when they played the
all-important series that settled the
flying of the pennant in 1921 was the
slow work of Tierney on the infield.
Pirates' Stars In Dtaui
Clubs have asked for Carey, for
Cooper, for Schmidt, for Glazner, who
appears to be the coming pitcher of
the National League; for Morrison and
even for the untried Traynor, who will
surely be on the infield in 1922, but
none of them has asked for the men
?who were listed on Dreyfuss' schedule
as good trading material when the
season finished.
The Pittsburgh owner dislikes very
much being compelled to stand pat on
what he has got. He might put in a
bid for Rousch of Cincinnati, who has
put a barrier between him and the
Cincinnati club that never will be over
come. but Dreyfuss would think twice
and then some more before he would
pign Roush to a contract calling for
J18,000 a year.

SILVER SPRING COURSE
TO BE BUILT AT ONCE
Contract for building the new course
or the Silver Spring Golf Club was
signed last night by Donald Ross,
course architect. Work was sched
uled to begin today, and Ross prom
ised he would have the major portion
of the task completed by the early
part of April.
Another inspection of the property.
Ross said at a meeting of the board
of directors of the club at the Rialto
Theater building, convinced him that
the course could be built with a com
paratively small outlay of money. The
elghteen-hole course, he said, will cost
J'.'.000 a hole. The original estimate
?was Sal.Ouo. This, however, does not
Include rebuilding of the farmhouse
row on the property into a club
house. , ..
Ross was very enthusiastic over the
prospect for a tine course. He said
the natural advantages of most of the
Jand which has been in blue grass
for many years, removes the neces
??'y for much plowing and seeding.
Borne of the proposed fairways need
only a heavy rolling, he said
Tom Moore and Dr. C. A. Baker 'were
appointed to investigate the club
house proposition and to coJJ*e* 21 ??
architects as to necessary change* in
the farmhouse. W. Stokes Sammons,

OF BASE BALL'S BIG TRIO
HICAGO,' January 7.?The draft and other affairs of organized
base ball were up for discussion today by Judge K. M. Landis.
commissioner of base ball; John Heydler, president of the National
League, and B. B. Johnson, president of the American League.
A plan recently submitted by A. R. Tearney, president of the Western
and Three-Eye leagues, concerning the draft question also was before the
big three. The Western and Three-Eye leagues are two of the five minor
organizations which now do not recognize the right of the majors to
select players each fall.
UMPIRE O'DAY WILL NOT
QUIT NATIONAL LEAGUE
CHICAGO, January 7.?Umpire Hank
O'Day, veteran of the National League
staff, has no desire to retire, so far
as President John Heydler knows,
the latter said yesterday in denying
that O'Day had asked for bis release
or that any word had been received
indicating that he wished to wind up
his base ball career in the Pacific
Coast League.
"I* don't think O'Day wants to quit
yet," President Heydler said. "He
was a little discouraged last season
because of illness, but he has re
covered. He is one of the best of
ficials in our organization, and I am
confident he will be with us three or
four years more."
President Heydler said he intended
making: a change or two in the Na
tional League staff, but was not ready
to make the announcement.

will play a series with Pittsburgh at
Hot Springs. The camp there will be
abandoned on March 31. On the home
ward trip the Red Sox will engage in

Mobile Signs Pitcher Fulton.
MOBILE. Ala., January 7.?Cha.*^^
Fulton, a pitcher, has signed a. con
tract to play ball this season with
the Mobile Southern Association team.
He was with the Mobile elub last year
and had a good season.
Tearney offered his plan to Com
missioner Landls as 'one that prob
ably would be acceptable to all the
"holdout" minors, but it is regarded
as so radical In some respects that
Landls, Johnson and Heydler may
want It altered considerably before |
giving it serious consideration.
Two clauses in the Tearney plan
that may not meet with the approval
of the majors are elimination of the
"farm" and the "covering-up" of col
lege players and youngsters from the
semi-pro ranks. He asks that when
ever a big league club is unable to
use a player without minor league
experience the player be awarded un
conditionally to a small league, start
ing with class AA.

With Gude Gosnell in its line-up the
George Washington University basket
ball team Is going to make matters in
teresting for a number of its opponents
this winter. This former Tech High
athlete is one of the best basket shots
in this section and a mighty capable
floor player. The Hatchetites downed
Gallaudet. 30 to 12, in the match at
the Coliseum last night, and Gosnell
was directly responsible for 24 of the
points credited to the victors.
Gosnell started scoring earlv in
the fray and continued his accurate
snooting until he had made eight
goals from scrimmage. He also made
good in eight of eleven tries from the
foul line. Incidentally, Gosnell was
the only member of his team to count
from the floor more than once.
Gallaudet was completely' out
classed. Its passing was poor and
shooting worse. The Kendall Green
ers resorted to long throws through
the court, instead of a running attack
and barely were able to get within
good scoring distance.
A preliminary game between the
Congress Heights Yankees and Balti
more All-Stars proved to be the bet
ter engagement. The Yanks, never
extending themselves, won, 47 to 29.

out of every ten of the spectators came away firmly convinced that the

OPEN SEASON TONIGHT
CHICAGO. January 7.?The western
conference basket ball season w i
open tonight with six "Big Ten"
quintets in action. The schedule calls
for Ohio State at Chicago. Northwest
ern at Minnesota and Wisconsin at
Iowa.
All the conference squads have en
gaged in strenuous preparation con
tests and in daily practice sessions.
Northwestern is expected to be re
turned the winner over Minnesota, as
the Purple has met and vanquished
Notre I">ame, Yah', Armour Institute
and Chicago Y. M. C. A. College in
pre-conference games. Minnesota was
defeated by Kansas University, 32
to 11.
Chicago lias showed only flashes of ?
form in the early contests and suf- |
fered defeat at the hands of Knox j
and Colgate. Chicago, however, boasts
of several stars in Romney, Halladay
and McGuire, and is reported ready j
for Ohio's speedy quintet.
Ohio won most of its practice games
and defeated Yale, 23 to 15. The Buck
eye squad, however, will miss the
playing of Blair, a stellar forward,
who is suffering from an injury and
is expected to be out all season.
Iowa and Wisconsin promise much
action, with the decision in doubt.
CENTRAL IN COME-BACK
AGAINST BALTIMOREANS
Central High's quint, well beaten by
the Army and N'avy Preps of Balti
more early this" week, turned the
tables on another Maryland team yes
terday. Against the Baltimore Poly
technic Institute combination, 'the
Blue and White had about everything:
it lacked In the match with the preps
i and won handily, 29 to 9.
Central's showing was the most im
I presslve made by members of the
High School League who played yes
terday. Business visited the Mary
land metropolis and took a 32-to-21
trouncing from Mount St. Joseph's,
while Western bowed to St. John's in
a 10-to-9 struggle.
The Mount Pleasant boys rushed the
Baltimoreans off their feet at the out
set. and before the first half ended
held a J9-to-3 advantage. Poly was
able to penetrate the Central defense
onlv twice during the second half.
Btrthwright and Buckley were the
mainstays of the winners. Winches
ter was best of the losers.
i Walker'* touting from the foul line
was the only redeeming feature of
Business' play against Mount St. Jo
seph's. The lanky forward had twen
ty-one free shots and made good in
I fifteen. The Stenographers' passing
igame was too weak to bother the Bal
I timoreans, who outclassed their oppo
nents in all departments of the game.
| Wextern and St. John'* played good
defensive games In their engagement,
but the latter managed to break
through the Red and White line for a
trio of points and victory in the last
few minutes of play. Trotter, center
of the winners, was the star of the
contest.
Wtlxon Normal School girls over
whelmed tl>e Eastern High School
\lumni tossFrs in a 20-to-4 game. The
normal team was far better at pass
ing and shooting than its opponent
and never was headed. Miss Ewers,
right forward, did most of the scoring
for the winners.

At any rat*, little damage wa? done
by the decision because the two lads
were ostensibly battling: to deter
mine which was to have a chance to
cop the featherweight crown from
Johnny Kilbane, and Johnny gives no
evidence of intending* to fight either
of them or any other aspirant if he
can possibly avoid it. Just at pres
ent the position of being: a loading
contender for tlie featherweight title
renders the aspirant about as safe

cause they had sat through twenty
six rounds of deadly dull alleged box

in the earlier round? and- seemingly
piled up a safe margin of points, al
though he tired slightly toward the
finish and Chaney always wa^i strong,
willing and able.
In the other ten-round event on ttie
card Archie Walker, former amateur
lightweight champion, got a tryout
against Benny Valger. the old cam
paigner, and was a disappointment.
; He recently secured leave of ab
I sence from a local brokerage house
! to tempt fate in the professional
: ring. If he did not deliver stock* and
bonds with more sp*-ed and precision
than lie did "his punches at VaJger,
his boss won't care if he never oomes
ba<*k to work.
As a result of dissatisfaction over
Rome of the decisions being rendered,
fight fans here are becoming less impa
tient with the refusal of Benny Leon
ard and some of the other champions
to risk their titles in local rings.
