sending Duffy into a forward posi-
ton and shifting Costello to center
For time this combination worked
well and the Churchmen opened an
attack that soon had the score tied
at 19. Then the Yankees got busy.
Sauber. Heddens and Atherton caging
named clinched the game with three
more scrimmage tosses. one of them
made from deep side court
All Of Yankees Good.
None of the Yanks stood above the
others in quality of play. Heddens
and Sauber. closely guarded. found it
difficult to do much shooting. but they
fed the ball to Atherton in such a
manner that the latter found it easy
to acquire points. Sauber outjumped
the Aloysius centers and Geotz and
Catlin. as running guards, were
everywhere. For Aloysius. Costello
and Foillard were mainstays. al
though Fitzgerald played we'll and
Duffy did some good work during the
short time he was in action.
GonZaga gymnasium. wholly made
quate for a District championship
engagement, was crowded from door
way to galleries. The greater num-
ber of spectators were undoubtedly
Aloysius rooters. and credit must be
given them for their excellent sports
manship. They cheered vainly for
their plucky favorites. but they were
fair enough to appreciate the good
playing of the visitors and frequently
applauded the Yankees spectacular
performances
Evening star., 1921-03-13

There never was dull moment dur
ing the fray. From the time McNaney
sent Aloysius into the lead with a
neat goal from side court until Duffy
gave the losers their last point with
toss from the fifteen-foot mark the
teams were racing about the court
battling desperately. Despite the in
tensity of the rivalry. however. the
contest was remarkably free from
unnecessary roughness.
LOsers on In Front.
Aloysius. accustomed to its boxlike
court. opened play with rush and
raced to a six-point lead before the
Yankees counted. The latter rallied
and quickly tied the score. then
forged ahead to finish the half with
the points IS to II in their favor
The Churchmen came back strong at
the outset Of the second half and the
session was not very old before the
score was knotted at 19-all. Then the
Yanks launched a brilliant attack
that swept everything before it and
went on to win.
The Congress Heights team outplay-
ed the Aloysians in every department
cred the Yanks for a time. but once
they found themselves they passed
with accuracy and good judgment,
guarded closely and aggressively,
ana tnelr shooters located the basket
in splendid fashion.
The Aloysians at times flashed some
creditable passing and occasionally
found opportunity to put through
studied scoring plays, but generally
the Churchmen were forced to fight
furiously to keep the ball away from
the speedy Yanks. The latter made
only one more floor goal than the
losers. but the Aloysians were forced
to resort to much haphaZard shooting.
while the, Yankees did most of their
scrimmage scoring after we'll exc
cuted plays.
Heddens Accurate Shooter.
One of the features was the free
tossing of Heddens. dependable point
gatherer OF the Yankees. In the open
ing half he missed his first three
heaves. but Gagged the next eight and
pocketed his first effort in the second
half All told. Heddens was success
full in eleven of eighteen tosses Three
Aloysians tried for free points. and they
got only six in twenty-one tries
The Yankees lost their first chance
to score when Heddens trimmed the
basket with a free toss and Aloysius
got the jump with goal by Nc
Nancy. The teams then battled their
way to a 6-6 tie, which McNaney
failed to break with free shots fol-
lowing a two-time foul. The Yanks,
with field baskets by Heddens and
Atherton, ran their count to II be-
fore Aloysius could raise it's score
to 8. Costello came through with
a couple of goals for the Churchmen
and Heddens added free point just
before half-time to give the Yanks
an 1S-to-12 advantage.
The Congress Heights clan held to
its original lineup in the second
half. but Aloysius replaced Folliard
with Brynes and removed McNaney.

claim of Pittsburgh, and who made

a promising and exceedingly fast
prospect from the Springfield club
of the Eastern League.
Three-quarters of the infield is settled
and splendid trio it is with the re-
doubtable Joe Judge on first, the tricky
Stan Harris on second and the aggres-
sive and accomplished Frank O'Rourke
at short. The latter. obtained from To-
ronto. would have been a star in the
majors for 10! these many years save
for stiff wing. and it is claimed Bone
setter Reese has taken the kinks out
of it.
Third Base Ii Problem.
The job at third base remains to be
filled. The leading candidates now are

new contender looms in the person of
Deeby Foss. recruited from the local
team Of the Florida State League, and
Bob Lamotte, obtained from the same
source. eventually may settle in that
job, although at present he is being
groomed exclusively to understudy for
O'Rourke at short. Jim O'Neill, a
brother Of the famous Steve. who show
ed SO much promise last season, practi-
cally is eliminated from consideration
for this season because of the ravaging
effects of an attack Of pneumonia, from
which he is recovering but slowly.
Shanks. If he fails to make the grade
for the regular berth at third. will be
available for utility roles in both the in
field and outfield. which is his forte,
and Brewer. although training for slab
duty. also can be called upon for patrol
first base, where he likes best to play
and is most proficient.
Summed up, there seems to be con-
siderable basis for the optimism of Grif-
fith and Mcbride that the Nationals of
1921 will make their presence felt in the
scramble for Ban Johnson's bunting.

Judge George F. Barrett, the at
torney representing the American
League in the base ball case, said
that postponement would be asked
to give the prosecution time to gather
new evidence. which he said was
needed 'if the men back of the world
series scandal and the men who took
part in it were to be driven out of
base ball and into the penitentiary."
Guarding Against Fixzle.
Barrett said that the reluctance
which was being shown by some wit
nesses who testified before the grand
jury to stand back of their testimony
had made it necessary for the state
to gather additional evidence" A
poorly handled trial would ruin base
ball, he said, while a case properly
presented to the jury would save the
game from disgrace.
The American League is deter
mined that this case shall not de-
velop into a fizzle," said Barrett. my
orders are to get to the bottom of it.
regardless of who is hit by my in
vestigations, and I now have several
! men gathering material.
1--WE have found that there were
several persons who were not indicted
who. perhaps, should have been. We
are seeking evidence against these
men and when we get it we will pre-
sent it to the states attorney with a
suggestion that it be taken before a
grand jury.
When States Attorney Grove came
into office nothing had been done to
prepare the case for trial. Since then
Chicago has been in the midst of a
crime wave which has taken up all
the time of the states attorney. The
case is not ready for trial now and
it would be foolish for US to try to
nrPSpnt
Will He Done Properly.
when the case is ready we will go
through with it in a manner that will
be a credit to base ball and which will
place every detail Of the world series
scandal in the hands of the public.
There must be a trial, but it must
be handled properly.
There is no criticism Of the states
attorney in this statement. because he
and I are in full accord and have
agreed that more time must be given
to the preparation Of the case"
OppoAes Long Postponement.
Thomas p. Nash, attorney for Buck

and Fred McMullin. and Benedict
Short. attorney for Claude Williams,

long delay in the trial Two weeks

through their attorneys. said they
opposed even short postponement,

| ments there might be some difficulty
in obtaining convictions. but that he
considered the testimony given the
grand jury strong enough to convict
| every guilty person.
Concerning the possibility of the
indicted players returning to base
ball. Harry Grabiner. secretary of the
Chicago American League Club, said
| that Judge Landis now was the ruler
of base ball and that his rulings
would be accepted in all matters
Lands Is Against Delay.
Judge Landis in statement said.
Il should regret very deeply the
postponement of the trial of this case.
However, base ball is not powerless
to protect itself. All of these players
must vindicate themselves before they
can be readmitted to base ball."
Shortly after becoming base ball
commissioner Judge Lands said that
"even if the players were found in
nocent they would have to answer to,
him before they could play base balp
again"

Miller and Brottem Seek
