COSNELL'S GOOD WORK
GIVES c. ". QU|NT WIN

With GUIDE Gosnell in it's lineup the
George Washington University basket
ball team is going to make matters in
teresting for a number of its opponents
this winter. This former Tech High
athlete is one of the best basket shots
in this section and mighty capable
floor player. The, Hatchetites .downed
Gallaudet, 80 to IL, in the match at
the Coliseum last night, and Gosnel1
was directly responsible for "a of the
points credited to the victors.
Gosnell started scoring early in
the fray and continued his accurate
shooting until he had made eight
goals from scrimmage. He also made
good in eight of eleven tries from the
foul line. Incidentally. Gosnell was
the only member of his team to count
from the floor more than once.
Gallaudet was completely out
classed. Its passing was poor and
shooting worse. The Kendall Green
ers resorted to long throws through
the court. instead of a running attack,
and barely were able to get within
good scoring distance.
A preliminary game between the
Congress Heights Yankees and Balti-
more All-Stars proved to be the bet
ter engagement. The Yanks, never
extending themselves, won. Al to 20.

At any rate, little damage was done
by the decision because the two lads
were ostensibly battling to deter
mine which was to have a chance to
cop the featherweight' crown from
Johnny kilbane, and Johnny gives no
evidence of intending TO fight either
of them or any other aspirant If he
can possibly avoid it. Just at pres
ent the position of being a leading
contender for the featherweight title
renders the aspirant about as safe
from fisticuffs with the champions as
though he were listed in class ID of
the draft.
Cut Loose at Outset.
Perhaps the fight fans took the
judges decision more to heart be-
cause they had sat through twenty
six rounds of deadly dull alleged box
ing before the Herman-Chaney bout
started. Then Herman tore in like
wildcat and was met in no less
vicious a manner by the Baltimore
lad. The contrast was so great that
the house rocked with roars of applause.
Herman carried the fight TO CLANCY
in the earlier rounds and seemingly
piled up safe margin of points, al
though he tired slightly toward the
finish and CLANCY always was strong,
willing and able.
In the other ten-round event on the
card Archie Walker. former amateur
lightweight champion, got a tryout
against Benny Valger. the old cam
paigner, and was a disappoint tment.
He recently secured leave of alb
sence from local brokerage house
to tempt fate in the professional
ring. If he did not deliver stocks and
bonds with more speed and preG sion
than he did his punches at Valger.
his boss won't care if he never comes
back to work
AS result of dissatisfaction over
some of the decisions being rendered
fight fans here are becoming less impa-
tient with the refusal of Benny Leon
ard and some of the other champions
to risk their titles in local rings.

Pittsburgh had held him. hoping
that he would be good trading ma
terial, but it was not 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 cir
cults, but to the surprise of Pitts
burgh, Detroit claimed him, and 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.
Fans Remember WreckinE.
Pittsburgh realizes as much as any
team in the National League that
something must be done to bolster
its strength. The last-minute wreck
ing of the Pirates in September never
will be forgotten by the Pittsburgh
fans, and it is quite likely that it
won't be forgotten by the Pittsburgh
team all through the year to come.
There will be plenty who will remind
the players of it from the cover OF
the bleachers.

his outfield. The minute that he
starts to talk trade the other clubs
want the players whom he will not,
relinQuish. He can't afford to sacri-
flee pitching strength, because he
hasn't surplus and that which he
has is mighty good.
Every club with which trade has
been suggested almost without ex-
ception 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 bat.
New York players say frankly that
one of the reasons for their success
in Pittsburgh when they played the
all-important series that settled the
flying of the pennant in 1921 was the
slow work Of Tierney on the inf1eld.
Pirates Stars In Demand.
Clubs have asked for Carey, for
Cooper, for Schmidt, for GlaZner, who
appears to be the coming pitcher of
the National League; for Morrison and
even for the untried Traynor, who will
surely be on the infield in 1922, but
none of them has asked for the men
who were listed on Dreyfuss' schedule
as good trading material when the
season finished.
The Pittsburgh owner dislikes very
what he has got He might put in a
bid for Rousch of Cincinnati. who has
put barrier between him and the
Cincinnati club that never will be over
come, but DreyfuSs would think twice
sign Roush to contract calling for
$4,000 year.
