McKechnie Is
Optimistic
BY Bill McKechnie

Manager Of the Pittsburgh Pirates
remnants are not awarded to
bidders or Chalmers, but / do think
the Pittsburgh club will be a con-
tender for tho championship from
the first to the last games.
The Pirates are a better ball
club than they have been for four
years, They are certainly the fast
est club in the major leagues, and
there is plenty of punch in the
lineup,
The infield, think, will be i'm
proved with Niehaus on first base
and Moore on second base, and
Graham ought to be a help in the
outfield,
Trainer was handicapped all last
season by illness and Bigbee was
of little value because of sinus
trouble, but they are both back in
good shape now. Our pitching
staff was not weakened by the
trade with Chicago. as l feel suro
Aldridge VIII win as many games
as Cooper would have won for us.
We have several promising
young pitchers. and I believe the
regulars we used last year will be
just as good, II not better.

Manager Bush is DESTROYS of put
ting in some stiff work the next
few days as the Chicago White Sox
will be here to battle the Tribesmen
Saturday and Sunday. Indians and
Sox cut plenty of winning capers
in Dixieland, and indianapolis fans
are assured of seeing some interest
ing baseball the coming weekend.
Florence In East
Most of the Hoosiers are in fine
physical condition. Catcher Flor
ence was the only player to have
serious trouble in the conditioning
process and he was permitted 10 go
to his home in the East to have
his favorite specialist treat his in
jured back.
Schmandt and Hodapp have
had ailing arms, but these in
fielders feel confident the kinks
will be well irOned out within a
few more days.
Manager Bush was we'll pleased
with the southern training trip. and
he is proud of his ball club. He has
been promised a pitcher by John
McGraw and feels sure the Giant
boss means to deliver good hurler
Robertson Does Well
The success OF the team appears
to hinge around the fiinging staff. as
all other departments are supplied
with strong talent. Even the veteran
catcher, Claude Robertson, obtained
from Birmingham, has delivered be.
yond expectations. which is one more
worry off the mind OF Bush.
Hank Schneider went like a big
league star down South, and his
teamwork with Sticking around the
keystone sack was spectacular.
Unless Florence is cut adrift,
Bush will not check out any of the
present flock Of Tribesmen until in
May. Elmer Voter has been show.
ing versatile ability as a utility man,
and young Thompson and De Loot,
other rockies, have displayed
enough prowess to warrant the Tribe
boss retaining them for further
trials.
Hard Work for Schemanske
Big Schemaske. pitcher, has un-
corked good twirling occasionally,
but needs much hard work to keep
down weight.
II fair weather holds out, there
are going to be large crowds at the
White Sox contests Saturday and
Sunday. Baseball interest here has
been increasing rapidly and Tribe
followers are eager to get look at
their 1925 aggregation.
And don't forget opening day!
The X. c. Blues will be here Tues.

However, granting they will be Of
Gus objection to gyms included In
side of school buildings. At present
Shortridge is handicapped in it's ath-
letic work by this situation. Prac-
tice of teams in the north side gym
Is a sort Of catch-as-catch-can prob
lem. Glasses being conducted in
other parts of the building must not
be disturbed by noice.
In the Shortridge main building
containing the gymnasium is also
located Caleb Mills Hail a semi pub
lie auditorium where meetings of
varying natures are being held, and
entertainments and concerts staged.
When the hall is in use practice in
the gym is taboo.
Separate Building
The tendency is noted in building
operations over the State to erect
separate buildings for athletics in
connection with high schools. And
these buildings are so constructed as
to be of use in other branches Of
school work aside from athletics,
the manual training departments
usually being located therein.
Now that Shortridge seems on the
eve Of realizing its hopes for a new
commodieus plant, some enthusiasts
are wondering why 1t would not be
wise to consider erecting at once a
gymnasium building on the. grounds
on the north side purchased for the
new school.
This could be made to correspond
with the contemplated architectural
scheme for the new Shortridge and
could be used to good advantage
until the old is finally abandoned,
and pending construction of the
new.
Here's a Trade
The Shortridge athletic board
owns half interest in four acres of
ground near the new site Of Butler
College at Fairview. 1t is believed
the board would be willing to deed
over It's holdings to the school COM
missioners to help pay the cost Of
constructing separate gymnasium
on the Thirty-Fourth st. property.
The time is not far on when the
school commissioners will be seeking
a site for public school in the
vicinity Of the Shortridge holdings.
Why not get together and talk
business?
Gymnasium buildings are Of a
nature, it seems, to permit of rapid
construction, and it would be entire
ly possible to have one erected on
the new Shortridge site in time for
use next season.

Fight Card at TomIinSon Hall

gloom there was just one ray Of

stated that the next card would be
held on April 20 and that Tommy
Burns would be one Of the principals

Ever so often the boxing fans have
to get a good trimming. Monday
night was the night One main go
was a joke and the other was slow
and listless. Louie Lavell seems
unable to use his right hand the
one that was broken some time ago..
Eddie Dyer of Terre Haute had a
slight edge on the Anderson scrapper,
but it was so slight one could hardly
notice 1t. Dyer outboxed Lavell, who
round affair might as well have been
one-armed man.
Gibbons Goes Down
Bobby Gibbons, who the promoters
said was to give Sidney Click one
of the hardest battles In his career,
could not have won in the amateur
tourney held last week. Otto Ray
Of the boxing commission, after the
fans finally let. him talk on his
second attempt, said he was in favor
Of Withholding the purses In this
bout. Nothing was said about those
who arranged the match.
Gibbons went down on one knee
just as the bell rang in the first
round and Topped for keeps in the
third. At that Click didn't look as
though he was hitting hard enough
to break a pane of glass. 1t was
