Billy Evans Says

Looking Into Future
The signing Of Rogers Hornsby by
New York and Eddie Collins by
Philadelphia make it appear as if
those two clubs were looking into the
future.
John McGraw, as manager of the
Giants, and Connie Mack, as leader
of the Athletics, cannot go on for
ever. There must be an end and in
both cases it doesn't appear fax
distant.
Whenever these two master man
ayers see fit to retire, both clubs will
have in their lineup man capable
of taking over the leadership and
maintaining the high standard set by
the two veterans.
Hornsby won pennant and world
championship for st. Louis in his sec
ond year. while Eddie Collins, dur
ing his tenure at Chicago, proved a
leader Of exceptional merit.
Time Changes All Things
It is rather interesting that Nc
Graw at one time had chance to get
Collins for nothing and one could
have made "A more profitable deal

PIRATES WILL
PIN HOPES ON
YOUNG STARS
Owen DOME Bush, New
Manager, Has Strong Team
Except in Pitching

Pittsburgh. Pa, Jan. 22.--tR)-Sup-
ported by a 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 world
tbaseball championship.
Staunch followers of the Pirates
pick the team to finish first, second
or third the coming season, pinning
their faith on the speed and playing
ability Of the young stars. No major
deals have been made this winter but
the club is well fortified in every de-
partment with the possible exception
Of pitching.
In the outer gardens, Haxen Guy
Ter, slugger and speed merchant, will
be in center, with Paul Waner in
right. The left garden is a toss-up
between the veteran Clyde 'Barnhart.
Herman Layne, acquired from Tor
onto, and Fred Brickell, . product Of
the Western League. -.
Infield Unchanged
A trio Of the leagues highlights
will be at their old posts in the in
field. The rangy George Grantham is
fixture at first base, Glenn Wright
will be at short and Pie Traynor at
third. The keystone sack, Pirate
problem for many seasons. may be
solved by Joe Cronin.\ Hal Rhyme,
former Pacific coast star, also is q
keystone candidate Lloyd .Waner,
brother of Paul, has played the out
field in the miner leagues, but Bush
believes he will make good infield
man.
The backstop post will give the new
manager little trouble with the three
veterans, Earl Smith, Johnny G0och
and Spencer ready for action.
Pitching Staff -.
The pitching staff is held in some
quarters to be weak, yet it looks good
on paper. Krcmer, Alridge, Morrison,
Hill. Joe Bush and Lee Meadows, all
seasoned men, are expected to bear
the brunt of hurting duty. Songer
and Yde may see steady action. To
this regular force has been added
Chef Nichols, formerly of the New
Haven club, and Mike Cvengros,
former White Sox mOundsman.
Although placing great confidence
in the young team, experts feel that
the passing in 1926 of such outstand-
ing stars as Max Carey, Babe Adams,
Carson Bigbee and Stuffy Mc1nnis
will be felt to a great extent, and
will dim the chances to capture the
bunting.

Californian in Madison Square Gar

The bout, strikingly similar to the
stand of Britain's mighty atom
against Villa in defense of England

one-sdcd in recent ring history.

and Hornsby soon will be in that
class, for there must come = time
when he will start to slow up in
his play.
Last season he slumped badly at
the bat, and it>is possible the woes
Of manager had much to do with it.
Woes Of Player Leader
Incidentally, the fact that a man
is star player, keen Of mind, is no
indication that he will make good
manager.
1t is q gift to be able to impart
ones knowledge of the game to
others, TO be able to correct the
faults Of ones players without In
curing their wrath and enmity. That
is the true test Of managerial abil-
| ity, leadership.
Also a great many stars are un-
able to get on a level with their
players, many Of whom are just
mediocre. 1t was Ty Cobb's chief
fault. He could do all things in
baseball with such case, it was hard
for him to condone the faults of
others.

ager is over for the time being ut

PROBLEMS RELATING TO OWNERSHIP
AND OPERATION OF AUTOMOBILES ARE !.
DISCUSSED AT A. A. A. BOARD MEETING

Washington, d. c., Jan. 22.-The
state of the Union, as far as the car
owner is concerned, came in for an
exhaustive survey at the mid winter
meeting of the board of directors OF
the American Automobile Association,
held recently at the Roosevelt hotel
in New York city.
8 Automobile club executives repre-
senting the $50 clubs affiliated under
the A. A. "A. emblem, discussed at
length some of the outstanding prob
lens that are being agitated at pres
ent relative to the ownership and
operation of automobiles. The board
unanimously favored an intensive
drive on the part of the assoc iation
on the following major policies:
First, reiterating the position of
the association against radical pro-
posals for compulsory automobile in
surance. A committee of five was APP
pointed to have charge of the A. A.
AS campaign throughout the country,
the main purpose of which will be to
educate the public to the fact that
compulsory insurance has nothing
whatever to do with promotion Of
safety or the safeguarding Of life or
limb on the highway; also to form
ulate such a policy as will protect the
victims of accidents without saddling
all car owners with such an enormous
burden as compulsory insurance
would involve.
Drivers License Law Urged
Second, adoption nationally of a
drivers license law. The support of
the board for drivers license law
In principle did not apply to the
mental and physical examination
feature of such laws but it did
strongly warn against the use of such
q law for revenue purposes, either by
individual communities or by "gyp'
courts.
1--WE favor the adoption of the
principle that drivers license
should be easy to secure, easy to lose
and hard to recover" the board de-
clared, pointing out that as a matter
Of record and Identification, together
with the fear of losing it, drivers
license has very vital relation to
safe driving.
Third, the board urged all A. A. a.
clubs to work for the early compile
ton of the federal and state number
ing system and particularly stressed
the Importance of carrying these
Numbers through incorporated com.
munities. Under the same resolu.
ton, . strong demand was made fol-

stitute standing danger to millions
of wayfarers.
Fifth. the board expressed the
view that there is a crying need for a
more determined effort looking to the
adoption of the uniform motor We
hicle code, and with this in view,
Thos. P. Henry, president of the A.
A. A., who presided at the meeting,
was authorized to appoint five ma
tionally known safety experts
on the A. A. A. board on
traffic safety and city plan
ming. Steps were taken to as
sure that the A. A. A. board, which
will be a continuous body, will not
conflict with the special committee of
the Hoover conference, hut will work
in cooperation with this committee
and centralize in q permanent COM
mittee the safety activities conducted
by the $50 clubs affiliated with the
national motoring organization.
Sixth, all legislatures were urged
to take steps to clarity the law rela-
tive to the confiscation OF cars in
such a way that innocent owners of
automobiles will not be penalized
when their vehicles are used for
illegal purposes without their knowl-
edge or their consent.
Philadelphia Chosen
Many other subjects Of serious i'm
port were on the. agenda Of the con-
ference, but owing to the limited
time set aside for the mid. winter
meeting, many of these will hold over
until the annual convention of the
A. A. A. The board decided that the
annual convention will be held in
Philadelphia on June 16 and II,
Philadelphia was only one of q score
of cities from the Pacific Coast to
the Atlantic that had put in a strong
bid for the annual convention of the
association.
Quite a lively fight, was staged on
the floor as to what city should have
this years convention. bnt the ,elo-
qucnce of Robert p. Hooper Of Phil
adelphia, member OF the executive
committee Of the A. A., A.. carried the
day for the City Of Brotherly Love
The invitation from Philadelphia was
submitted by the Chamber of Com
merce and by the Automobile Club Of
Philadelphia.

Although no blocking is permitted under the rules
of basketball, many teams make use of what is
termed the legal block which merely means tina
they are taking full advantage of the principle that
a player may take any position the floor during
the course of scrimmage.
Having posted himself in some given position, il
an opponent finds him in the way or blocking his
path to another player whom the opponent wishes
to cover, that is the opponents hard luck.
The theory Of the legal block is that any man
may take any position he desires and that he need
not give ground or get out of the other follows
