PITTSBURGH, Jan. 4.-The report

minors caused a lot of talk among
Pittsburgh baseball fans today.
Leach was a popular idol here, and
his transfer to Chicago was matter
Of regret among the fans who had
watched him play with the Pirates
for more than ten years.
The story that Leach's legs nave
gone bad and that he had slowed up
too much to remain in the majors
was not credited here. Leach has
not the speed he had five years ago,
but when he left the Pirates he was
about as fast as most of the outfield-
ers in the National League. That was
only few months ago, and Leach
hasn't gone back so rapidly as the

BY SURE SHOT

Basketball at Kunzmans Hall will
be resumed Thursday night, when the
newly -organized West Side five,
under the management of Frank
Boyle, the prominent local player, will
stack up against the Celluloids. The
West Sides are composed of all local
talent, probably the best obtainable,
and games will be arranged with
Knights of Columbus, Bay Views, Ma
tional Turner'S and other quintets of
note.
Among the prominent additions to
the team are the Riemer brothers,
Morris and Dave. These lads until
this week were members of the Ma
tional Turner's, and proved to be a
remarkable pair. Their work helped
to win many games for the Bruce
street team. and their acquisition to
the West Sides will be welcomed to
the utmost. Bill Mckinley, who played
with the Oak Leafs and who is also
a member of the Dominican H. n. S.
team, will do the pivot work Boyle
will be at one of the forward
positions with Eddie Mulroy and Dave
Riemer. The guard positions will be
taken care of by Eddie Dougherty, of
the Knights of Columbus; Norris
Riemer and Eddie Burke, of the Bay
View Club. A former prominent local
basketball artist will referee the
game A junior team, to be known
as the West Side Juniors, is being
organized, and will probably play
games in conjunction with the seniors
beginning one week from Thursday
night.
The Dominican Holy Name Society
team is reorganized and will mere
after play with the following men, be-
ginning with the contest tonight at
Dominican Hall: Jack Curley, H.
Gilroy, McEvoy, Dougherty, J. Cum
mings. Horn and Corrigan. Hennin-
ger. Green and Mckinley are nc
Longer members of the club. The
team now is composed strictly OF

Gossip

Manager McGraw, of the New
York Giants, has cenfided to his
most intimate friends that he aspires
to win three remnants in a row, and
thus get a place in that select circle
which now boasts just five National
League fnanagers-'B Baby Arson,
Frank Selee, Fred Clarke, Ned Han
Ion and Frank Chance. These five
are the only ones in the league ever
to win three pennants in a row. Me-
Graw bids fair to finish next season
at the top, and thus realize his am
bition.
Maybe Joe Tinker is hoping he'll
be failure as manager of the Gin
cinnati Reds in 1913. 1T has become
a common saying around baseball
stamping grounds that a man who
fails at Cinci is just about sure of
winning an overwhelming success
elsewhere. Clark Griffith, John Can
eel, Mike Donlin, Orvie overall, Heine
Steinfeldt and Hans Lobert are
classic examples. Joe Tinker has q
job at Cincinnati which no man
should envy.
Eugene Corri considered the pre-
mier referee of Europe, is to judge
the fight between Jem Driscoll and
Owen Moran for the featherweight
championship of England, which
takes place at the National Sporting
Club, of London, January 27. Dris-
coll and Moran are to battle for a
purse of $500, two-thirds of which
is to go to the winner and the re-
mainder to the loser.
Baseball is said to be making some
hit in the Philippines. The little
brown men over there think our ma
tional game has cock fighting and
bull fighting beaten to a FRAGILE as a
manly sport The United States bu-
reau of, education is authority for
the statement that baseball is the
most favored pastime among the ma
tives, although physical culture is
taught in the schools and sports of
all sorts are encouraged.
The failure of the Mack School,
of managers in the American League
last season has opened up the old
question as to whether the baseball
players make the manager or the
manager the team. The 1912 lesson
seemed to be that the manager makes
the team.
The most conspicuous failure
among the Mack followers was Harry
Davis. manager of the Cleveland
Maps. He had a good team, but failed
miserably. Clark Griffith had team
at Washington which didn't look very
good, but made a great record.
Next season we shall see what a
first rate manager can do. Frank
Chance takes the New York High
landers at time when they seem
hopeless. If he turns out a winner
it will be pretty conclusive evidence
that the manager is the first thing to
have, the players the second.

report from Chicago would indicate.
The truth is that the trade that
put him i'm Chicago really broke
Tommy's heart. He thought when
Barney Dreyfus refused to let him
go when he had a chance to become
manager of the Phillies two years
ago that he would spend the best of
his big league days with the Pitts
burgh Club. Leach was disappointed
when he lost the Philadelphia oppor-
tunity, but soon forgot this and was
playing brilliant outfield game
when he was turned over to Murphy.
While in this city recently Leach
said he lost all ambition to play
when Pittsburgh let him out after he
had served the club for so many
years. Leach came to Pittsburgh
with Clarke and Wagner in 1899
