PIRATES HAVE
THREE PAIR
OF BROTHERS
First Time i'm History of Baseball
This Condition Has Arisen
On Any Club.
RY John II. FOSTER.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus
The Pittsburgh National league
club has established an entirely new
record, family record. The Smoky
city has three pairs of brothers on
its team. I'VE could only beat that
by making 'em twins or four pair"
said Barney Dreyfuss proudly to-
day. For this is the first time that
three pairs of brothers have played
on the same big league club at the
same time.
First comes the Bigbees, Carson
and Lyle. The former has been an
outfielder with the Pirates for some
time and the latter is pitcher who
perhaps may need another year S
season on the coast. Then there are
the Morrisons, John and Phil,
pitchers both of them, both ex-army
men and both too good to pass by
with just favorable mention. The
third pair recently snagged by Drey-
fuss are the Brothers Rohwer. One
of them, Ray, was with the Pirates
last season. Once or twice he Slip
ped in as a pinch hitter. The other
was still with the University of
California. His name is Claude and
he hadn't any intention of playing
ball until his already big league
brother suggested that Claude could
play a lot of third base in the right
way. If there is any one thing that
Pittsburgh wants it is a third base
man, and so Claude was prevailed
upon not to study law but to move
to Pittsburgh and study the topog-
raphy around third base at Forbes
field

New York, March 10.-Blink Nc
Closkey won't fight for the priv
ilege of holding his job as social
secretary and general equerry to
his highness, Prince Mohammed
Ali Abrahim of Egypt, a position
which he won by knocking out the
princes previous retainer, Angle
Gugyer, a big Manifested Egyptian,
in Cairo, four years ago.
Blink and the prince are new ar
rivals from Egypt The gilded
hotel where they are stopping was
besieged today by ambitious young
gentlemen of the fisticuff frater-
nifty all swayed by a common i'm
pulse to knock Blink for a goal and
thus slip into the life of splendid
ease he is now leading. But there
is nothing doing. No. sir. Blink
isn't even in to the pugs who would
like to convince the prince that his
companion is soft for a real fight

not SO many years ago was glad to
jump into the ring as a. sub for IS
bucks. has no longer any fancy for
the leather pillows.
"Wot's the idea?" asked Blink as
he languidly slipped a cup of tea
and gently swished the folds of his
silk and velvet dressing gown. Il
amt no fighter any more-except
when someone gets in my way. I'm
a gentleman. l don't talk to pugs."

They know all his old time his

fact that he drifted to Cairo from
Paris during the war, lamped this
big Egyptian, Gugyer, and learned
that he had won his place through
the princes admiration of pugilis-

Blink.

the eye out, handing it to his sec

that his seconds don't steal his bath

New York, March 10.-No action
affecting the structure OF football
may be expected to result from the
weed-end session of the football
rules committee but some interest
ing changes of minor nature will
probably be made. It has been sug-
gested that the committee take
steps to see that the work of Of
hclaIs at next seasons games is i'm
! proved. This no doubt would be a
fine thing if some workable plan
for accomplishing it could be de-
Vised. Some scheme whereby the
central board of officials could be
made a more efficient body is just
as important as an expedient de-
| cision. to jack up the officials them
/ selves.
In the Lehigh-Lafayette game
last year for example, two promin-
ent officials arrived at Bethlehem
not knowing which was to referee
and which was to umpire AS it
happened both were specialists in
the refereeing department and had
little or no experience at umpiring

OF the two as referee but had re-
celVed no sanction from the central
board. AS a consequence the hour
Immediately preceding the game
was marked by a deadlock, neither
man wishing to serve as umpire.
The situation was saved by the
sporting eXpedient of tossing a coin.
This was something that need not
have happened had the central
board attended to its duty.
AS long as nine years ago the
writer took a stand against the
goal from touchdown as a useless
and unjust appendage to the game
The rules committee ignored this.
But eventually an alternate sugges-
ton that the ball be kicked from
point directly in front of the goal
post was adopted. The project to
eliminate the feature altogether will
probably be discussed at the pres
ent meeting, but the chances are
discussion will be carried over into
the next few years before the kick
from placement is done away with.
In the meantime teams carving out
touchdowns through splendid en-
uSdFOT anu IdllluS 10 KICK goals
will lose to less accomplished out
fits that have scored shoestring
touchdowns and kicked the succeed
ing goal and other unfortunate, I'M
fair and unjust workings of the
present rule will be noted
To Discuss Shifts.
Probably the suggestion - from
outside-that the ball in the third
period be put in play from the spot
where it lay at the end of the sec
ond period, will be ignored, al
though in this way a game of foot
ball would offer continuity, where
as now it amounts really to two
games. There will be some talk of
shifts and there is a chance that
something will be incorporated in
the rules book designed to make it
absolutely certain that line players
are not in motion before the ball is
put into play. Difficult though the
problem may be, it looks as though
it would have to be undertaken if
only because a rule eliminating the
shifts would bring about a radical
split between the east and west.

game of lacrosse.

TAbERLEADER
OF DUBUQUE'S
CHAMP CACERS
Rock Island Boy Has Great Season
at Basketbaii-Fotch Also on
the Squad.

Ed "Pinky" Taber, former Rock
Island high school basketball star.
this season captained the fast Du-
buque university quintet to the
championship of the Hawkeye con-
ference Besides Taber, Rock Is
land contributed another member OF
the squad in Herbert Fotch, also
product of the local high school.
The Dubuque Times-Journal in
summarizing the showing of the
champions, has the following to say
about Taber: "Taber, captain OF
the Blue and White, handled his
mates on the floor with the cool
judgment of a great general. His
passing and shooting kept the OPP
ponents bewildered. His speciality
was to let go of the ball at about
midfioor just when the game reach
ed the critical point, and let 1t
swish through the net. AS point
getter, he deserves honor, having
made a total of So field baskets in
IA games His cool head in running
the team was a winning factor in
many OF the close games
AS to Fotch: "Fotch was a big
asset 10 the leam anu was Oi]elt
given an opportunity to play, and
as often made good"
Taber held down a forward posi-
ton, while Fotch fitted in nicely as
a utility guard.
Taber has helped Dubuque uni
versity along the path to athletic
success in more ways than one
since he has been attending the i'll
stitution. He is brilliant on the
basketball floor but no more so
than in the pitchers box on the
baseball field. And in football last
year, although his first season out,
he demonstrated great qualities at
fullback.
