PIRATES HOPE TO
 CAPTURE PENNANT
'Donie'' Bush to Use Long
 Major League Experience

Pittsburgh. Jan 22 Unsupported by cast of young and scintillating players, Owen ("Donie") Bush. new manager of the Pittsburgh Nationals will combine them with his long major league experience in the hope of capturing the 1927 worlds base ball championship.
 i Staunch followers of the Pirates pick the team to finish "one, two, three" the coming season, pinning l their faith on the speed and playing ability of the young stars who, despite inter-club strife late in the ! 1926 season, held the club in a money position. No major deals have been put over this winter but the club is well fortified in every de- partment with the possible exception of pitching.
 In the outer gardens, Hagen Cuy- Ter, slugger and speed merchant, will be in center, with Paul Waner in right. Much Is expected of Waner this year, because of his brilliant playing last season. The left garden is a toss up between the veteran Clyde Barnhart, Herman Layne. &C., quired from Toronto and Fred Brickell, a product of the Western league. All are fleet of foot and heavy hitters.
 A trio of the leagues high lights will be at their old posts in the in- field. The rangy George Grantham is fixture at first base. Glenn Wright will cavort around short and Pie Traynor at third. The keystone sack, pirate problem for many sea- sons, may be solved by Joe Cronin. Hal Rhyme, former Pacific coast star is a keystone candidate. Lloyd Waner, brother of Paul, has played the outfield in the minor leagues, but Bush believes he may make a good infielder.
 The backstop post will give the new manager little trouble, with the three veterans, Earl Smith, Johnny Gooch and Spencer ready for ac- ton.
 The pitching staff is held in some quarters to be weak, yet it looks good on paper. Kremer, Aldridge, Morrison, Hill, Joe Bush and Lee Meadows, all seasoned men, are ex- pected to bear the brunt of hurling duty. Songer and Yde may see steady action. To this regular force has been added Chet Nichols, formerly of the New Haven club, and Mike Cvengros, former White Sox mounds man.
 Two rookie outflelders will get try out. Comarsky. from Williams port, Pa., and Frye, Johnstown, Pa.
 Although placing great confidence in the young team, experts fell that the passing in 1926 of such out standing stars as Max Carey, Babe Adams, Carson Bigbee and Stuffy McInnis, will be felt to a great eX- tent and will dim the chance to cap ture the bunting. The first three were released because they were said to have led a movement to oust Fred Clark from the bench as assistant manager. In the meantime, Clarke as we'll as Manager Bill McKechnie, passed from the Pirate picture while McInnis was let out internationally.

another victory and have more than an even chance for winning it. The Swedes have started poorly but trounced the Center church last week and hope to stop the German Lutherans this evening; to do so they must put the screws on "Goody" Preisser, and it will be up to Oscar Larson, Hallin, and Nord- gren to do this.
 The second game brings together two deadly but friendly rivals of long standing. the Center and South churches. The South church has met with but one defeat, the St. Matts winning by one point from it, while the Center church has yet to win a game. Still the boys from the parent institution are out to upset the dope tonight and will play their hardest in an effort to win. The South church players, on the other hand, are figuring on running up a big score on their less experienced opponents.

CLUB OWNERS ON
 WAY ID MEETING
Ban Johnson Emphatically De-
 nieS He Plans to Resign

Chicago, Jan. 23 RIThe seven American league club owners invit- ed by President Ban Johnson to help settle the status of Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker were en route here today for Sundays momentous meeting. Charles A. Comiskey owner of the Chicago White Sox, alone was left off the list of guests, because of his long standing feud with Johnson.
 The American league executive after a conference with his lawyers was emphatic today that his resig- nation was not on the program. Letters from fans continue to ar rive, Mir. Johnson said, urging him to keep up the fight against gamb- ling in baseball. Another offering was a basket of roses.
 There was increasing evidence to- day that the club owners were eag- CT to restore the peace of two years ago and also of last month, between Baseball Commissioner Landis and Johnson, the American league exc. cutive feels that he can satisfactor- fly explain to the commissioner Monday the reason why his circuit does not want to employ Cobb and Speaker any longer.
 While the commissioner has been silent on his plans for Mondays session, President Johnson has talk ed freely to newspapermen of the two stars. And he feels confident that his club owners are still back of him, as they were last Septem- Der when the magnates voted to au- thorize the demand for resinations of the Detroit and Cleveland man. agers.
 Although not a member of the league board of directors, Colonel Jacob Ruppert of the New York Yankees, is regarded as the man of the hour" because of his influ- ence with the other club owners, with Johnson and with the commits sioner.
 Colonel Ruppert's only expression in advance of the two sessions to- morrow and Monday is that he has ''an open mind" Baseball observ- CTS feel that in view of this attitude, he likely will endeavor to conclude another truce between the commits sioner and the American league boss. Although President Johnson's S agreement with the league runs for nine more years, at salary of $40,000 a year, there have been in dications that he would be willing to listen to an arrangement for a graceful retirement.

MIDDLETOWN FIVE
 NOSES OUT GUARDS
Locals Drop Hard Fought Con.
 test by One Point Margin

The All-Middletown basketball team nosed out the National Guards Of this city in fast and furious game in Middletown last night by the score of "A to 23. New Britain was slow in starting and Middletown had piled up commanding lead which ultimately gave it the victory.
 After being outplayed in the first 10 minutes of the game, the Guards came to life and gave a beautiful exhibition of passing and guarding, but thought the defense thrown up by the locals kept the Middletown players away from hte basket, con- secutive long shots gave Middletown the game.
 The winners quickly ran the score up to 1S to but the Guards spurt- ed and cut this down to 19 to 12 in favor of Middletown at the end of the first half. In the second half the New Britain team completely outplayed the opposition. but failure to sink foul shots at the critical turns of the game lost them the game. Middletown could score only five points in the second frame.
 The work of Johnny Sheehan and Taylor was the outstanding feature of New Britain's play while Guerra gave a flashy exhibition of shooting and floor work. Hoist, local boy with the Middletown quintet, played a nice floor game and fitted in nicely in the pass work.
 Carlson started the scoring with a basket on the first play. Sturm SCOT ed the first point for the Guards on a foul shot. Carlson was fouled and he added a point to Middletown's total. Guerra sank a long shot to make it 6 to l. Sheehan gave the Guards two on free try.
 Here Middletown spurted and two baskets by Guerra, coupled with two by McCabe, made it 13 to 2. It looked like walk-away for Middle town but at the 12 minute mark, Sloman scored the first basket for the Guards. McCabe added a point on free try. The Guards took lllllc Oil dliu otdlteu OlL ldSl dl lS- sumption of play. Taylor got a com- plimentary point and followed it with basket. Sheehan dropped in a beautiful pop from the middle of the floor making it IA to 9. Sturm was fouled and made the shot good. Waterman scored a free try but Tay- Tor offset this with a long heave. Then Middletown scored three bas- kets in a row through McCabe and Guerra, leaving the score 19 to 12 at half time.
 Second Half
 Slonlan started by dropping In free try Guerra popped long one and made 1t good. Sheehan and Hoist each scored free tries. Carl Restelli batted one in from under the hoop, making it 22 to 16. Guerra continued his good work and got his second basket of the half.
 Rubenstein entered the game and scored 8 basket on a follow-up of a long shot Sheehan dorpped in two from the center of the floor, bringing the crowd up bowling. With two minutes to go and the score A to 22 for Middle town, Sloman was fouled and he made his try good. Middletown got possession of the ball in the last minute and was able to hold it until the whistle blew. The score:

I'm Guards have been going at top sped during their last few games ana haven't yet lost a contest on the home floor.
 The Greenpolt team, composed altogether of Jwish players, is-one of the greatest basketball combina- tions in the eat. It plays all its games on the rod, having no homs court and desne the fact that every contest is staged on an un- familiar floor. put of 15 games this season, the team has yet to lose one. An idle of the strength of the team may be gained from the fact that it hs beaten the At- las of New Have. two games on the Atlas floor tn season.

The guards re leeches when it comes to coveng oppos- ing forwards. They are erson and Teich. Sam Schoenfeld,a reserve man, is a keen player, wo is able to step in either at forW-d or at guard.
 Manager Clarence Lanpt hasn't chosen his starting limp vet though it is pretty certain,hat he will start Sloman and Rlenstein at forwards, holding Mertraylor as a reserve man. This ph has worked out with great succs be- cause Taylor, entering the game fresh when the opposing ten is tired, puts a whirlwind In ction on the floor. Restelli will preably start at center so that the ame scheme can be worked with 'ey- holds replacing him as the gme goes on.
