an Uncertain Hip.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2o.-Every
time Donnie Bush thinks he has solved
the puzzle of "piecing the Pirates to-
gether," he finds he hasn't.
The signing of Jim Stroner appar-
entity has solved the third base problem,
but the rookie, weakened after an oper-
alton, has been unable to show.
Pie Traynor, regular third sacker,
was to move over to short. Now the
big captains bad hip is causing more
trouble.
The outfield. even with Lloyd Wsner
coming to terms still needs Paul Waner
to give it class.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March 20 up.
| john McGraw, manager OF the New
York Giants, has not yet decided which
of his two Andys-ReeSe or, Cohen
will start the season at second base.
McGraw said the only reason he was
sending Cohen on tour with the second
| team was because he was popular with
| Texas fans.
Cohen will rejoin the first team at
| Shreveport and / probably will alter
nate him and Reese at second base"
| he added.
CLEARWATER, Fla. March 20 R>.-
Just when Wilbert Robinson, president
manager of the Brooklyn Robins, had
decided that Jimmy Pattison. former
High School pitcher, would have to -
| to Macon for little more seasoning,
| Jimmy turned in a neat pitching per-
| Torrance to make Robby change his
mind.
| Pattison pitched the first four innings
| of Yesterdays battle between the regu-
| lars and the Yannigans, allowed three
| hits and single run.
| AVON PARK, Fla. March 20 P).-
Eddie Delker, Danville's infielder, train
| ing with st. Louis Cardinals. was the
scintillating spot in the Red Birds tri-
umph over the Boston Red Sox yester-
| day. 5 to 8. He speared two line drives
| for double plays, saving the game in
| the ninth. He also hit a double and
| single. Delker has been at short while
| Charley Colbert, fashy recruit destined
| for the spot, has been out with an In
| jured hand.
ORLANDO, Fla, March 20 tP.-The
! first game of two-day series with the
| Athletics found Pete" Donohue Of the
Cincinnati Reds announcing his readi-
ness to take the mound against Connie
Mack's ball players. Kolp was the re-
serve pitcher.
The Athletics have 2-to-1 edge on
the Reds in the practice series.
| WINTER HAVEN, Fla, March 20 (F).
Manager Shotten of the Phillies has
not called for regular-yannigan game
| in the training camp. This is I'M
usual, but he thinks much more benefit
will be derived from intensive drilling
on offensive and defensive strategy.
To make the plays interesting and
| get the spirit Of contest into them,
Shotten puts runners on the bases.
Then he drives the ball to the outfeld
and coaches the hy-chasers and relay
men how to make the proper play on
the runner.
ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. March 90
OFF the opposition the Boston
Braves will be called upon to face when
the National League season opens even
approaches the caliber of that offered
by the Yanks, the tribe isn't going to
have to worry about much of anything
except comfortable cellar berth-that
Is, unless the Braves find the punch
that has been missing for good many
seasons past.
They engaged the Yanks in q lugu-
brious contest yesterday that went the
wrong way, 6-5. The Braves made 10
hits to the Yankees 5.
