CACERS FROM
TWIN-CITIES
WIN, IS TO Is
Numerous Thrills Furnished for
Spectators by Closeness OF
the Play.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Numerous thrills were furnished
when the LaSalle-Peru basketball
men edged out with a victory over
the Rock Island squat, Is to 10,
last night on the Y. NJ. c. A. floor.
The two squads played nip and
tuck all the way through and at
no time during the sessions was
the twin-city team sure OF coming
cut ahead. The visitors played
strong defensive game and had
slight shade on the Islanders in the
floor activities. The team was
heavier than the home five but dld
not lack speed
A noticeable weakness OF ROCK
Island was it's inability to shoot
free throws The locals missed
seven to LaSalle's one.
The contest was played on equal
basis during the first half, which
ended s to 6, with LaSalle in the
lead. Hall and Edwards each hit
the loop for a basket and Shelter
played stellar games at the guard
l,osts. Shelter showed wonderful
action in covering the floor and fig
ured in most of the teamwork plays.
Alyine at standing guard held the
forward to long shots and during
the whole game the short basket
shots were scarce. Playing of the
hardest kind was staged by Hall,
who made three baskets for the
Crimson and Gold.
The stalworth center began to
weaken in the third quarter and he
was replaced by Shelter. Wood
worth took Shelters position. Ed
wards moved in good form around
the floor Alexenburg was unable
to add a single point but did well
in the completion of team work.
The twin-city team had a formi-
cable aggregation and played five
man defensive game throughout. 1t

PIRATES NEED
TO INJECT new
BLOOD IN TEAM
Barney Dreyfuss Has No Players
He Can Afford to Trade,
However.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER

1O--, ny hC U.s.
New York, Jan. 7.-Pittsburgh is
one team. in the National league at
least, that needs Strengthening but
Barney Dreyfuss does not know
where in the world he is going to
get the players.
When Cutshaw went out of the
National from Pittsburgh to De-
troit, the seven other clubs except
Pittsburgh waived claim on a sec
ond baseman who played the best
game of his life in 1921. LAS much
as Brooklyn needs infielders we did
not need Cutshaw back" said Char
ley Ebbets. Which is another way
of saying that he and Robbie take it
for granted that Cutshaw is sore
and yellow.
Pittsburgh had been hoping that
he would be good trading material
but it wasn't Cutshaw who was
wanted when Gibson suggested
trade or when some one suggested
trade to the Pittsburgh manager.
So waivers were asked, thinking
possibly that he would slip through
both circuits but to the surprise of
Ii.
if he plays as well for Detroit as
he did for Pittsburgh last season,
Ty Cobb hasn't hurt his team one
iota, no matter what else may have
happened.
Must Bolster Up.
Pittsburgh realizes as much as
any team in the National league
that something must be done to
bolster it's strength. The last min
ute wrecking of the Pirates in Sep
TENDER never was forgotten by the
Pittsburgh fans and it is likely that
it won't be forgotten by the Pitts
burgh team through the year to
come. There will be plenty who
will remind the players of it from
the cover of the bleachers.
Dreyfus knows that he is weak
on the field and he can't get along
with his outfit. The minute he
starts to talk trade the other clubs
want the players whom he will not
relinquish. He can't afford to sac
rifice pitching strength because he
hasn't a surplus and that which he
has is mighty good.
Every club with which a trade
has been suggested almost without
exception has asked for Tierney.
and while the player is not a good
ranger on the infield. as he covers
scant ground. DreyfusS will not let
him go, presumably because he can

New York players say frankly
that one of the reasons for their
successes in Pittsburgh when play
ed the all important series that set
tied the flying of the pennant in
1921. was the slow work of Tierney
on the infield.
Clubs have asked for Carey. for
Cooper, for Schmidt, for GIazner,
who look like the coming pitchers
of the National league: Tor Morri-
son and even, for the untried Tray
nor. who will surely be on the in
field in 1922. but none of them has
asked for the men who were on
Dreyfuss' schedule as good trading
when the season finished.
The Pittsburgh owner dislikes T.

might put in a bid for Roush of

THE BRIGHT SIDE


Things a-lookin' rather blue?
- All the world a bit askew?
Then, my friend, it's up to you
Just to hustle out and do
Something worth the while.
Wipe the tears from out your eye;
Things will get worse if you cry;
Seek the paths where roses lie;
There is every reason why
You should wear a smile.
Though the clouds are dark to view,
Still behind the sky is blue,
And the sun will soon shine through
With his golden CLEAN on you
If you work away.
Though the day be dark and drear,
What's the use to quake and fear
Wipe away that idle tear,
Look to see the dawning clear
OF brighter day.
Locked within their icy tomb
Are the flowers of springtime's bloom
In good time they'll light the gloom,
Scent the air with sweet perfume
AS you trudge along.
Life is always what it's made,
Why should you, then, be dismayed?
Keep on going, unafraid,
Every doubt can be allayed
With a cheerful song.
Keep on working with a will;
Tackle cen the steepest hill;
Bid each doubt and fear be still
And each day with duty fill
Duty nobly done.
Try again if once you fail;
AT one ill-success don't rail;
Bravely face life's fiercest gale;
Don't sit down and weep and vail
Thus success Is won.
