CONZACA HIGH BASKET
MEN TROUNCE BUSINESS

The score between Business and
Gonzaga High School in basketball
is now even. First, the business
five defeated the | streeters in the
Stenogs gym, and then the Prep
School boys came right back with
2l-to-13 victory in the GonZaRa
gym. Business had trouble penetrat-
ing the Gonzaga defense and did not
threaten seriously until the third
period. Then it was too late.

Here's the schedule OF the 1928
'little world series:
March 10-At Palm Beach.
March 11-At West Palm Beach.
March 2l-At Sarasota.
March 28-At Tampa.
March 30-At Jacksonville.

Camp Bennings, Ga.
April 6-At Birmingham.
April AT Atlanta.
April Sat Augusta, Ga.
April 9-10-At Washington.
April 11-12-At New York.
1t is customary for the younger
pitchers to open the Griffs' exhibit
ton series and it is possible that
Manager Harris will use Brill
heart, Kelly and Mcnamara in
some of those coming this sea-
son. But when the world cham
pions get under way against the
Giants at Palm Beach it is a
good bet right now that not one Of
the trio will be on the hill. They
will be saved for the following
games against the Cincinnati
Reds, the Milwaukee Brewers and
the Columbus Senators, of the
American Association.
1t will be pretty much the same
with the New York Giants. Art
Nehf, Jack Bentley, Rosy Bill
Ryan, Hugh McQuillan and Virgil
Barnes will be the hurlers to face
the world champions, with Claude
Jonnard, Dean and Baldwin hang
ing around for relief, work. Nc
Graw will do everything in his
power to upset the Griffmen.
That defeat last October. hasn't
sat well on his stomach.
While Manager Harris intends
to use his strongest pitchers
against the Giants, there will be
plenty of work for the others in
the twelve contests on the spring
schedule. The following twelve
games complete the 1925 spring
exhibition series.
March 2-Cincinnati Reds, at
Orlando.
Marcn l0-NlIWauKee Brewers,
at Sanford.
March 14-Boston Braves, at
Tampa.
March 16-Columbus Senators,
at Winter Haven.
March 17-Boston Braves, at St.
Petersburg.
March 18-Cincinnati Reds, at
Tampa.
April 2-3-New Orleans Peli-
cans, at New Orleans.
April 4-5-Mobile, at Mobile.
In addition, two dates with the
Brooklyn Robins, of the National
League, remain to be chosen. One
game will be at Clearwater, train
ing camp of the Robins, and the
other at Tampa.

Here's a Tip.

nUCKY HARRIS expects to
have ready for those open
~ ing games with the New
York Giants the following Fingers.
Johnson, Coveleskie, Gregg, Ogden,
Reuther and Marberry, all of whom
will work out at Hot Springs; with
Zachary, Martina, Zahniser and
Russell, who will have early starts
at Tampa.
Those six FINGERS fresh from
Arkansas should be quite enough
to face the Giants at Palm Beach
and West Palm Beach, especially
since Fred Marberry, an iron man
on the hill, will be one of them.
Furthermore Jezebel Tecumseh
Zachary and Joe Martina, who
quickly get into condition, will
be there, perfectly willing to do
little work against the naughty
champions of the National League.
Another straw in the wind, Sam
Rice and Goose Goslin are already
at Hot Springs, beginning a series
of boths calculated to fit them
for the hard training season ahead.
Knowing both of them fairly
well, this writer is willing to
promise right now that the first
day they have a chance to face
pitching, they will be swinging
their bats. They will never over
look a chance to hit 'em out: And
they will be on the job earliest of
all.
The Griffmen, man for man,
don't like insinuations that they
won a fluke victory. They believe
that they won their American
League title honestly and only
after beating their strongest
rivals, the Yankees and the De-
troit Tigers. They believe they
carried their headlong rush right
through the world series, defeating
the Giants on that account. There
fore, they mean to prove it by
taking this 1926 "little world
SERIES"
