McGraw Must Grow
What He Cans Buy

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 20.
John McGraw is up against it at
last. No longer will New York mon
ey buy any ball player wanted. That
is because most clubs made good
money last season and they don't
have to sell star players to finance
this years start. John McGraw failed
to land Rogers Hornsby, Milton
9toiS, Rabbit Meanwhile, Larry
Kopf or Eddie. Roush. He was par
ticularly in quest of star infielder
or two.
McGraw has as much as admitted
the futility Of trying to buy an in
field. He is trying now to develop
from his squad of youngsters salts
factory successors to Hal Chase and
Heinie Zimmerman. He also will
train an understudy to Larry Doyle,
for no telling when the aged Larry
will be Cracking" for good.
The youngsters looked upon as the
hope in this seasons race are George
Kelly and frankie Frisch. Kelly will
play first. McGraw has announced
that. And Frisch probably will be at
third. These two young stars are
getting more attention than any 9th.
er players in camp.
They need it. too, for both are pref.
ty much raw material as yet Frisch
is just out of college and Kelly, al
though with experience in the Inter
national, is far from the finished
product.
Matty is giving most of his atten.
ton to the young pitchers. He not
only is showing them the fine points
of pitching, but is putting them
through an hours practice in field
ing their position.
Matty gives them all sorts of prob
lens to solve. He has runners on the
base with one or two out and then he
shows the young pitchers how to
play for their man.

Boys Tournament Ends The
League; Reds Are Defeated

The Boys Department basketball
league wound up their games for the
season this morning by an elimina.
ton tournament. Every player wa:
present in the great color scheme and
the captains of each team were called
out in the middle of the floor to draw
from hat to see which team they
would have to play The first three
games were uneventful. The blues
beat the pinks by a score of five to
four, the Fellows beat the Blacks ten
to two, and the Whites forfeited their
game to the Reds because they failed
to appear when they were called to
play. This left three winners and
three losers and in order to have two
more games one of the losing teams
were drawn back by lot and the Pinks
drew the lucky ticket. In the second
round the Yellows very easily won
from the Blues by score OF sever.

There may be different battery

but that's the only place Pat Moran

Moran considers the team that won
the world championship good enough
to use in the fight for another pennant
and he has kept his ball club intact.
Eight new youngsters are south with
the champions and several of them
are likely to stick through the season.
But they have only slight chance
OF winning asregular Job away from
any OF the members of last years
team.
Young Tom Casey from the Frisco
lots Is a likely looking catcher. He
may take Nick Aliens place as third
backstop for Moran, but it's more than
likely that Allen will be retained and
Casey planted in minor league.

CONTEST WHEN
RIVALS CLASH
Local Fans Can See Game
and Get Back to This
City Tonight.

One of the most interesting basket
ball games Of the season will be staged
tonight at Morgantown when the Var
aity viii play the final game of the
season, having as opponents the
speedy Red and Black five Of Washing
ton and Jefferson college. There is
great rivalry between the two institu-
tons and the game PROMISES to be one
of the most hard fought of the entire
season. Wash-Jef has a chance for
second place in the tri-state running IL
they can defeat West Virginia tonight,
while the Varsity is just anxious to
duplicate the defeat they handed to the
Red and Black on their own floor early
in the season.
Wash-Jeff has lost three games to
Pitt this year, while West Virginia lost
two out Of three to Flint's men, the
final and third game OF the series
staged at Pittsburgh two weeks ago
being a rather unsatisfactory exhibit
tion all the way round, the referee
calling SO many technical fouls that
there was little basketball played.
Both teams are on edge for the con.
test this evening, the Red and Black
having arrived last night in order to
have full night and days rest before
the big game.
The Varsity has been practicing all
week with a view of taking the final
conflict of the year by good margin.
Fairmont fans can attend the game
and get back home tonight. Harry
Stansbury has arranged to have the
game start at 1880, which will allow
plenty of time for the contest and yet
give ali local fans chance to make
the last train back to this city.

flooring the Plnks by score of seven
to three.
This left only the Red and the yell
lows who hadn't as yet lost and they
faced each other in the finals, There
was a great deal of interest and ex-
element during this game and AT
times the cheering was almost deaf
ening. It seemed as though the ma.
1ority of the spectators were in favor
of seeing the Reds defeated for in
the ten games of the series they had
never lost game and practically ev-
cry one of the lockers on belonged to
a team that had been defeated at some
time or other by the Reds.
The first half ended with the score
one to one, each side only being able
to land one foul throw. The second
half at first was very hard battle
but in the end the Yellows began to
pull away from the Reds and the Reds
lost their first and last game this
year by score of eight to three.

Some Local Sport Chatter

Developments of the last day or two
have clinched our argument that there
is something radically wrong with the
control system at Washington Irving
high school and that few persons
who seemingly do not care much for
the good name of the institution are
being permitted to have full sway.
However, we have good reason to be-
lieve that the better element is to have
an inning soon and that an adjustment
will be made which will return that in
stitution to rating which it should
enjoy among the institutions of the
state, and which 1t has not enjoyed
this winter and is not enjoying at the
present time. We still insist that the
best sporting element in West vir-
ginia school circles desires every
school to have a clean slate. Justice
and right may at times be slow, but
they are sure and may be counted
upon to come out ahead in the long
run.
A little too fast for. the Wesleyan
boys. That is the short story of Key
ser's victory over the Buckhannon lads
last night at Victory high schools gym
nasium.
There will be some real basketball
tonight at Morgantown, when West
Virginia and w. & ]. clash in the final
battle Of the season. Both teams are on
edge for the battle and 1t will be a
swift contest from the opening. whis.
tie until the final blast.
After a day or two of weather such
as to bring visions of baseball and dia.
mond stars we have again reverted
to the hockey zone. The well.known
Punxsutawney citizen, Mr.. G. Hog, is
certainly extending his lease on wealth
er conditions. Better set Big Ben
for him.
The race in the Industrial bowling
league is getting very close, the Min
ing Machinery company holding first
place at the present time by very
narrow margin. There is no close
fight however for the cellar champion
ship, Wfllets seemingly having a death
grip on the situation. Ray Mapel's
prints are still hanging round in rea-
sonably high altitude, all things con-
sidered.
