 Manager Wagner says he would like to have a couple of southpaws, but where he is going 10 get them among the rockies is q hard guess, as every mothers son of them throws The only two left handlers on the roster are the veteran Bill Bayne and young Ray Dobcns from Holy Cross, still | maiden to big league batters.
 Pitching All Orthodox Brand
 There are good pitchers among the veterans. as you can tell without re- sorting to logarthms, but they all throw right-handcd. Ed Morris, Danny MacFayden, Jack Russell Charley Ruffing, Ed Carroll and Milt Gaston need make no apologies as pitchers. Horace Lisenbec, who was out with a sore arm considerably last year, may return.
 From among the rockies a couple may be selected. Those trying out are George smith, who won three and lost 12 for Seattle last year; Frank Mulroney, who pitched rather good ball for Pittsfcld last year; Bob Kline from Springfield, H., and Huey Harmon from Mobile; Ben Shields, once up with the Yankees; Pat Simmons, who won l6 and lost 14 for Pittsfcld last year: John Wilson, who won seven and lost 70 for the same team: Eddie Durham, who pitched q no hit game for Pitts field last season; Frank Bushcy. who won 12 and lost five for Pittsticld.

Extreme confidence was express ed at the state armory last night by members of the National Guard basketball team at a final practice session in preparation fer the city cham pionship contest against the Corbin Screw team tonight
 The Guards went through a stiff with the exception of Elmer Swan- son. He is troubled with an injured knee and may not go into the game at the start but he will be on hand if he is needed. One of the teams officials predicted today that the Guards would defeat Corbin Screw by 20 points.
 Twenty points is a large margin and it would not be at all surprising if the National Guard man was wrong. Corbin Screw has not been defeated by as large a score as this since it won it's first title. If the Guards win by a. narrow margin they should be satisfied. The Cor bin Screw quintet with it's team work and scoring threats, should be in it's best form. However. as a team, is has not played on the state armory floor this year and may be under q handicap.
 | Here are some of the factors upon which the National Guard team places it's confidence: Billy 1anka skas to hold Andy Yakubo- wicz to a low score; Aldie Hewctt to not only hold either Joe Luke or Charley Baker but to outscore them, and Hoist to outplay Luty. | The battle between Mickey Luke, Emil Karbonic and Elmer Swanson against the Corbin Screw guard combination of Arburr and Darrow ! should be an interesting side fea- turc.
 An unusual thing in connection with the game is that three mem- bers of one family will be in tho contest. The Luke basketball trio, consisting of Joe, who is with Cor bin Screw, Mike and George, Guard players, will be in action.
 Preliminary Game
 Members of the Y. M. H. A. team are confident that they will conquer | the Tabs basketeers tonight in the preliminary game. The Tabs played practically all their games on the society's floor and it is predicted that they will be lost completely on tho state armory court. The Y. NJ. H. A. team has been playing several road games with success despite the fact that they have had to become acquainted with floors after the games have started.
