PIRATES WILL HAVE
 COUPLE OF OUTFITS
Senior and Junior Teams to Be
 Coached by Charles Miller

The Pirates, under the coaching Of Charlie Miller and the management Of Billy March, will again take the field this summer 10 meet all corners and the first real practice will take place cn Good Friday morning at the park.
 An innovation this year will he two Pirate teams--the Seniors and the Juniors. The Seniors will be virtually the same team that won the city title last year, but the juniors will be com posed Of youngsters who are learning the game and will. ultimately, take fthc placs of the older Pirates. who, while active today. will in a year or two lose their passionate interest for the great national rastime.
 Coach Miller, in discussing this scheme. says that while ho is anxious to coach the Pirates again, he feels that in the interests of sport and in ,he interests of tho younger element he ought to pay some attention 10 the youngsters. 1Io therefore hit upon the plan Of having two Pirate teams.

Dutch Leonard May Go
 Back 10 Detroit Team

Fresno. Calf, April ii.--Does Dutch Leonard. famous southpaw of a few years back. intend to return 10 the American League?
 Leonard two years ago refused 10 report 10 tho Detroit Tygers because of a salary difference. The club was as stubborn about the matter as Leonard. as n result, Detroit lost a great pitcher and Leonard consider able money.
 The dope is that Leonard recently app4ied to Commissioner Landis for reinstatement aud that he has been restored 10 good standing again.
 Detroit suffered from lack Of pitch ing last season and finished second. Cobb is none too well satisfied with his 1921 staff. it seems.
 It is well known that Manager Cobb has been in communication with Leonard several times relative to his return to the game. So it would oc- casion no surprise in this section if such an announcement was made shortly.
 Leonard is rated as one of the gan,o's greatest southpaws. If he is just half as good az a pitcher now, as he was then in his prime. he would greatly help Detroit

BASKETBALL RULES
 FURTHER EXPLAINED
Guarding From Rear AbOliShed-'
 New Jumping Regulation

New York. April IA. Minor
 changes in the basketball playing code 10 assure q greater uniformity i'll interpretation and to eliminate
 wholesale fouling have been made by the joint basketball rules committee representing the \. A. L.. the Inter- national Y. NJ. C. \. and the Ma
 honai Collegiate Athletic association. 1 While the changes will not material Iy affect the style of tho amateur
 game as 1t is now played they will : tend tc clarify the code by shifting the burden of proof to inc offense in-
 stead Of the dcfcHse, thereby giving officials q tangible basis for decision a matter Of judgment
 No Guarding From Hear | The most important change from ! the players point of view makes guarding from the rear, where there i is resultant contact. a personal foul 1 This makes the rule moro binding and decision becomes mandatory instead of arbitrary.
 The rule pertaining 10 running with the ball was clarified by specifying that the ball must leave players hands before the pivot foot leaves the floor The word pivot" was defined flor the first time to enable an official to discriminate against pivoting and making progress with tho ball." The jumping rule which compeis q player to have his hand behind his back while jumping vas modified SO that in the event the offended team gets possession Of the ball after 1hc violation. play shall continue without interruption but in the event the team making the violations gets possession of the ball the infraction shall be called.
 X substitute who has been sent into the game must actually participate be- fore hc can be withdrawn. The lime element in games played in quarters Nas changed 10 that between the first and scconds and third and fourth quarters but ono minute shall clapse
 The duties of the umpire were cx- panded SO that an umpire can tell ont or bounds on his side Of the court and can also toss tho bah up in scrm- mage; but in divisions of opinion as 10 rulings pertaining 10 fouls the referee shall be supreme.
 Tho matter of changing tho scoring to make'a n fold goal count three points and . foul one was brought up and discussed to some length but was pigc onholcd.

|COLLEGES HAVE HAD
 STARS MAKING GOOD
Collins, Sisler, Frisch, Etc., All
 Make the Grade
tBy Billy Evans)

I ibs lbllly IN NuHSb
 Some of basebalrs greatest stars have come direct from the colleges to the majors,
 As references we give Eddie Collins, George Sislcr, Frankie Frisch, Joe Dugan, Pete Donahue, and host of others.
 The college field has become very l productive for the majors. The biz | league scouts look over the ''rah-rah" athletes with the greatest of care. l
 Signing a college ball player is far more difficult task than getting a sandlotter to agree on terms. The collegan is business ma n. Knowing there is a demand for his 1 services, he seeks to sell himself to the . highest bidder.
 It is surprising what some Of the educated stars make the big league ma agnates come across with. A bonus for signing. in addition to fat salary. : is usually stipulated.
 The sandlotters in most cases is will . ing to accept fair salary and a lot of promises. but not the collcgian. [ The "rah-rah" star knows that making the grade in the big show is a difficult task. He seeks 10 protect himself against failure.
 Very often when some college star is signed to q big league contract it is stipulated that he cannot be sold or traded during the length of his con- tract.
 While a ajor league club seldom gives more than a one-year contract to recruit, no matter how promising he may seem, still know of several collegians who put over a two-year contract, and one who was fortunate enough 10 tie major league club up for three years.
 The collegian is always wise enough to have tho contract so worded that the club must pay regardless of the showing he makes.
 Well do remember the case Of one college player who tied a major league club to a two-year contract calling for sSoo0 year. In addition he received q s2000 bonus for signing.
 The terms of the contract made it imperative that the player be carried by the big league club for two years, that under no conditions could he be sent to the minors.
 Before the end of the first year it was evident tho player wouldn't do. Tho club paid him off in full and sent him home.
 Despite the fact that some Of tho games greatest stars have come direct from the colleges diamonds, it's

BITTER PITCHERS
DUEL WITH finn

Lisbon Falls, Aug. 9-In enc Of the
bitterest pitching duels seen here in b
long time. Bar Harbor defeated the Wo-
ruinbo Mills team 8 to 2 here today.
Jack Jowett, the visiting twirler, held
the locals to four hits during the IL
frames. and scored the winning run in
the 18th when he doubled to center and
was brought home by Johnson's two

mastery ball, and although he was
touched up for n dozen clouts he tight
ened we'll in the pinches and famed
six
Bar Harbor's other two runs came
In the fourth. Johnson singled but
was forced at second ON Wa1sh's at
tempted sacrifice. but Walsh gained
first. Walsh advanced bag on Thurs
tons single and scored on another sim
gle by Baker. A tough break gave Bar
Harbor it's second tally
Thurston had gone round to third
on Bakers hit that scored Walsh, and
on the next play Prescott grounded to
Finn, who threw to Kevine, catching
Thurston off the bag. He was run
down between third and home. and y
poor throw by keville that bounced
off Thurston's body allowed the Wis
iting first sacker to score.
The locals scores were made in the
sixth. McQuiggah walked and Lord
grounded out. Reiman famed, but
reached first on a muffed third strike.
The runners advanced a base apiece
on Wilson's infield out and scored on
successive singles by kevilie and Rel

Faultless field work by the visiting
nine and a sensational stop by Thurs.
