SAND LOT TEAMS
COMING TO FRONT
Big Leaguers Invading the
Ranks For Their
Stars

The big league managers at last
have awakened to the fact that a lot
of good baseball material is going to
waste, or is being grabbed OF by tho
mtddlemen of baseball, the minors,
when 1t might as well go directly into
the makings of big league team.
But the awakening was forced onto
the majors, at that. Unable to get the
players needed through the draft and
finding prices Tor minor league stars
pretty high, aud material in many in
stances scarce, they had to turn to
the sandlots.
And 1t is going to be a great thing
for the major. leaguers, too, even il
they did adopt the idea through COM
pulsion.
Take the case of the Cleveland CLUB,
for instance. Last year there was a
young sandlotter named George Uhle.
He went south with the Indians and
came back looking good enough to car
ry around the circuit a few weeks. He
pitched so well they kept him on the
job all season. He won many more
games than he lost.
This spring Cleveland is taking
three more sandlotters for a spring
training. One OF them. George Cykow-
ski, is such promising prospect that
ranch Hickey, Cardinal manager,
threatened to go before the national
commission to air claim he Is said
to have on the amateurs services.
The, result in Cleveland is added
interest in the Indians. The anna
tours in Cleveland, and their friends,
far outnumber the regular Indian fars
That means that the amateur faction
will be nightly interested in the In
dams when one or more amateurs ara
in the fold.
Why shouldn't all Cleveland boys.
who are stars at the game, be on the
payroll of the Indians? That would
add local interest to the team.

Tonight at EllSins these high school

! Chester L. Smith, a competent sport
writer in the tri-state section gives
the following summary OF the COL
legiate basketball situation:
The tri-state collegiate basketball
situation has resolved itself into q
rather peculiar affair, much like tho
late lamented football season, as far
as mix-ups go. The teams that seemed
likely to run away with the field have
for some reason or other failed to de-
yelop much stuff, while the one team
that was picked to be the stepping
stone for the rest Of the bunch, bids
fair to take first honors.
The fives which always attract the
greatest following in this neck of the
woods are Pitt, Tech, Wash-Jeff,, Alle-
gheny, Grove City, Geneva, west vir-
ginia and Marietta. These eight
schools make much of their floor sea-
son and always wage bitter warfare
for supremacy.
At the present time the Panther
quintet is head and shoulders above
the rest Of the field by reason OF its
record which has been broken by Yale
alone, in game which does not affect
the Bl6e and Colds tri-state standing.
Early in the season the local team was
not conceded look-in, In fact Coach
Flint was wondering where he was
going to find sufficient material to
put any kind Of team on the floor,
let alone team OF championship CALI
Der. He had an abundance of likely
looking material but nothing to indi-
cate that it would round into anything
more than just an ordinary team.
However, the Panthers have been go
ing better at each start and unless
something unforeseen occurs they are
in a fair way to take the tri-state
championship. Grove City. the run
ner-up, has flashy squad but slipped
when they played at Trees, gym. The
Crimson is determined to make up for
the loss when Pitt comes up their way
but it remains to be seen whether
they can do 1t.

The first intersectionai scholastic
basketball clash staged at Morgan
town, which was played last night be-
tween Morgantcwn and Allegheny
High proved to be one OF the greatest
basketball affairs of the season. The
Morgantown team was ahead until the
very ~ minute OF the second half,
when Allegheny tied the score, and
then in an extra period OF five min
utes was able TO win the contest, The
final count being 27-2S. Such bas-
ketball games as these are what make
the fans go wild. II the other games
