Paso Robes. Calf, Mar. 6.-Pe
Pittsburgh's Pirates, winners of two
league pennats in the last
five years, give early spring training
promise Of having a lot to. do with
disposition of the 1880 championship.
The spring workout has been under
way in full force only two days, but
Manager Jewel Ems has seen enough
to convince him he will pilot a club
that should be up there with any
kind of breaks"
A great squad-fast, young fellows,
outfit, good pitching-iS
the way Ems sums up the situation.
Two Infielders Replaced
remnants aren't won in training
camps, but you can tell anyone who
cares to listen that the Pirates are
going to give a good account of them
selves this season." he declared. 1.-The
general structure Of the team that
lost out to the Cubs in the closing
weeks of last years pennant chase
remains the same, but two corners
have been reinforced. Gussie Suhr,
husky home run hitter from the San
Francisco Seals, replaces Earl Shelly
at first base, while AL Bool. a work.
horse catcher, has been purchased
from the Baltimore Internationals."
With Suhr at first, George Gan
than at second, and Captain PIE"
Traynor at third, the Pirates have
a trio whose poorest hitting efforts
should be better than 800.
The shortstop problem is unsolved,
as Dick Bartell, regular last year, is
a holdout. Sam Dreyfus, vice presi-
dent, and Manager Ems have worked
themselves up to a high point of en-
thusiasm over the rookie, En- Sankey
who played with Aelma, Ala, in the
Southeastern league last season. Drey-
fus says Sankey is a great pickup
and only needs coaching.
The outfield is nothing to worry
about. The Waner brothers, Paul and
Lloyd, training camp hOldoutS last
season. we're among the first ON the
ground this year. Paul, league-leading
batter in 1928. is determined to
gather in that honor again.
Adam Comorosky will patrol left
field, with Ira Fagstead, Fred Brickell
and Jimmy Mosolf on hand for utility
duties. Foy Frazier. outfielder, for
merly with Oakland of the Coast
league, was signed yesterday.
Grimes Problem Important
Whether Burleigh Grimes, the club:
best pitcher, will be in uniform is 9
subject of much discussion. Grimes
wants a two-year contract, and ha.
informed friends he will not report
until he gets one. Sam DreyfuS say.
the club will not give anybody q two.
year contract. Manager Ems, however
believes his star twirler will come tt
terms, and is counting on him tx
win at least 20 games.
Jess Petty, the big left-hander, look.
better than ever, while Ray Krt

WAR ON NETERACY
TO Be NATIONWIDE
Campaign Opened by Hoover
Committee at Meeting Of
/ West Virginia Teachers.

~ the Associated Press.
CLARKEBURG. w. Va, November
I5.--War on illiteracy was declared here
last night with the launching of q
Nation wide crusade of enlightment by
a National Advisory Committee ap-
pointed by President Hoover.
The occasion chosen for the official
opening of the campaign was the an
nual convention of the West Virginia
state Teachers Association, West Vir-
Ginia having been the first State to
organize an Advisory Committee to
work In collaboration with the national
body.
Outlining the origin Of the National
Committee and its aims, Herbert 3.
Houston, New York, member OF. the
group, said that work started by Cora
Wilson Stewart, Kentucky mountain
with the light Of knowledge" was TO be
continued and expanded. Mrs. Wilson
Is committee member.
Too, she said. that lover on the
Rapidan" President Hoover found chill
dren with inadequate schools and
rrown-ups, among his neighbors who
couldn't read and write, and as result
'.lent his powerful support to this
movement to eradicate illiteracy'
through organization OF the ADVISORY
Committee. :.
Ho,iston said school teachers all over
the country had responded Gin way
that Is overwhelming and beyond all
praise" in their assistance to the COM
mittee's plan.
States Fall Into Line.
Nearly all States have followed the
example of West Virginia in forming
advisory committees, the New Yorker
said, "to 60 forward into really glo-
Tious warfare"
, Names and addresses of tlliterates
have been secured through the medium
Of the 1880 census by action OF Con-
RTess.
Houston described the movement,
hoped TO be completed in five years. as
a ''war SO vast in its potential results
that, when it is won the world sover, 1t
win be found that it was war to help
gain lasting peace"
