chase, in the opinion of Pirate lead
ers, sports experts and close follow
crs of the team.
Despite the departure of Kiki Guy
Ter, stellar outfielder traded to Chi.
cago. and a weakness in the catch
ing staff reserve material, it is the
general opinion in baseball circles
here that the National League
champions Of 1927 stand an excel
lent chance to win the bunting
again.
An outstanding improvement in
the club will be the presence of
Sparky Adams, acquired through
the Cuyler deal at second base to
plug weak spot in the Pirate ma
chine. With Adams on second,
George Grantham will b. available
for regular duty at first, replacing
the veteran Joe Harris, who will be
held in reserve. Harris will fill an
other hole in the team-a tried and
true pinch hitte-..
Manager DOME Bush will 60 into
the race with the famous Waner
brothers-Paul and Lloyd-in the
outfield. For the other outer gar
den has has Barnhart, and Pete
Scott, late of the Cubs to fill in the
breach left by the departure Of Guy
Ter. Pirate followers feel that
while the loss of Cuyler will be felt,
the acquisition of Adams will more
than balance the scales.
One of Best Infields
Glenn Wright will be at his old
station ~ shortstop - while Captain
Pie Traynor will be at third, assur-
ing the Pirates one Of the best in
fields in the circuit.
Bush needs another catcher to
fortify this department. In an emery
ency he has the veteran Earl Smith
and Johnny Gooch, but is looking
about for another dependable re-

Pursued by i'll luck in tn, form Of

rates feel that, with an even break
the pitchers who won the pennant
last year. will give a good account
of themselves during the coming
season, Miljus Kremer, Meadows,
Aldridge and Hill will be on the fir
ing line. Bush expects much of
Fred RUSSELL, Texas league star, and
bellows he will make the big league
pitching -rade.
A score of rockies will be on hand
for spring training activities and
from this material Bush expects to

Bow Against Mandan

Making their first home bow, the
st. Mary's high school basketball
team will engage an all-star team
from Mandan high at p. m. today.
No admission will be charged.

With one month Of solid cage play
behind them the st. Mary's crew is
in splendid shape and they predict
that first blood between the ancient
rivals, Mandan and Bismarck, will
be drawn by the capital city.

JACK HURLEY
is CLEARED
OF CHARGES
Minnesota Boxing Cornish Re.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 4.-Jack
Hurley Of Duluth, manager Of Billy
Petrdlle, Al Van Rya,, Jackie Cam
eron and other prominently known
boxers, who has been under investi-
CATION in Minnesota At the result Of
. charge that he managed both Pc.
trolle and Harry Kahn Of Milwau-
kee when the latter fighters boxed
in Duluth last Dec. 2, was complete
" absolved from guilt by the men,
bers Of the Minnesota state athletic
commission.
Complaint against Hurley was
lodged with the Minnesota commits
sion by Frank Mulkern, Milwaukee
promoter, two days before Kahn and
Petrolle fought in the last show of
the National A. C. at Duluth. Null
kern charged that Hurley had
bought Kahn's contract from
Thomas McAneny Of Milwaukee
just previous to the time Kahn was
signed up to box Petrolle.
Acting on this information Chair
man Andrew Sivertsen Of the Min
nesota commission ordered that the
Kahn etrolle bout be Cancelled UNI
less Hurley would make an affidavit
and post q bond that he was not the
manager Of Kahn. This Hurley did
and the fight was permitted to be
staged, but the money of the two
fighters was held up by Commits
sioner A. p. Macdonald Of Duluth
pending further investigation in.
to the charges.
Denies Allegation
About a week following the fight
Hurley appeared before the men,
bers Of the state commission in Min
neapolis and swore that he was not
Kahn's manager and never had had
ANYTHING to do with the Milwaukee
lightweight in a managerial way.
His Milwaukee accusers did not put
in an appearance at this meeting al
though they had been requested to
do 50.
Since then the members of the
Minnesota commission, acting in
conjunction with Walter Langinger
Of Milwaukee, secretary Of the Wis
consin state athletic commission,
has made a thorough investigation
into the charges against Hurley but
have not been able to find anything
against his record. Kahn, as near
as can be learned, is a free agent
who takes care Of his own business
affairs.
McAneny, Il has been shown, was
never Kahn's manager, but rather
had done some work in training
Kahn for various fights and for
these services Kahn owed him
money. The matter was settled
when McAneny was paid 500 by
Kahn. Hurley's name appeared on
this paper As = witness to the trans
action.
Two checks, one for Billy Petrolle,
calling for $662.72, and the other to
Kahn calling for $3.50 have been
forwarded 70 Commissioner Mac.

Cobb, Speaker, Johnsona Col.
Inns, Hornsby and Sisler
Are Through

your memory back four or. five
years and dream Of the money that
would have been required to get Ty
Cobb, iris Speaker, Walter johnson,
Eddie Collins, Rogers Hornsbv or
George Sislcr!
Cobb was a priceless piece Of De-
troit property. Speaker was civic
asset Of Cleveland, johnson was the
sentimental heart of Washington.
Collins was the hope of the Chicago
White Sox. Hornsby was bigger
than the st. Louis ball park and Sis
Ter was u mint in the same town.
Now where are they?
Cobb and Speaker are non grata
on the market. johnson is in the
minor leagues. Sisler is in WASH
ington for the price of al. ordinary
rookie.
Only Hornsby and Collins are set
ting pretty, but Collins seems to be
in the incest spot because at the end
Of his playing days he seems set for
life.
Hornsby is still great ball play
or commanding a fine salary. He is
being groomed for the management
of the New York Giants when John
McGraw decides and, according to
reports, that will not be long now.
There may be reasons, however,
not associated with baseball, that
may interfere with Hornsby ambi-
tions.
Collins Is Set
But it may be taken for = fact
that Collins is set.
At the end of the 1927 season,
when the Philadelphia Athletics
again had disappointed the aged
Connie Mack it was taken for grant
ed that number of changes would
be made in the Philadelphia club.
Cobb, Wheat and Collins probably
will go, it was surmiscd.
mot Collins" was the significant
remark made by Mack.
The Cleveland club, seeking q
manager, was interested in Collins
but Eddie let it be known that he
was not interested. He started with
the Athletics, has his home and close
friends around Philadelphia and is
satisfied with a good salary and
congenial surroundings.
Also, it was learned, Collins has
been told that the Athletics will be
his ball club, when Mack decides to
retire and that may not be long
now.
Cobb and Speaker. had the un-
pleasant experience of finding them.
selves out Of a job about this time
last winter. But fortune turned and
tossed to them better propositions
than they had before.
Drew Fancy Salaries
A number Of ball clubs wanted
them and they had baseball in such
q position that, there were obliga-
tions to supporting public that had
got big bonuses and fancy salarie,
for signing with Philadelphia and
Washington.
Now their services are not so de,
sirable - because Of those fame,

f'could find place for them-but mol
for the money they want.
