Club, Built Around Two Stars,
Presents Preseason
Puzzle

San Francisco, March 22.-(P)-The
Pittsburgh Pirates, once one of 1.-The
teams" to beat for the National
League pennant but more recently
fallen by the wayside, will take the
field this season as doubtful contend
erS.
At third base and in center field.
Pittsburgh is fortified. Harold Pie
Traynor still is rated the best third
sacker in baseball. Lloyd Waner will
do until another fly chaser comes
along.
But around these two stars in built
club that is preseason puzzle. It
may or may not click.
George Gibson. making his second
debut as manager of the Pirates, is
frankly concerned with the keystone
combination of his infield unit. Tom
my Thevenow, shortstop, is crack
fielder, but dismally weak at the
plate. In addition he is nursing a
weak foot, broken last season.
Vaughn. a recruit, has been filling in.
While he is described as "a great
prospect by Manager Gibson, he
lacks STABILITY.
Piet Holds Edge
Two youngsters who had some ex-
perience at the position last season
are battling for second base, with
Tony Pet holding the edge over
Howard CrosSklosS at the present. Gus
Suhr, with plenty of experience, has
first base sewed up. Gibson says his
hitting, poor last year, has improved.
Paul Waner elder brother of Lloyd
will patrol right field as usual. but
he does not impress observers now as
he did when he broke in a few sea-
sons ago and topped the league in
batting.
The left field berth is open with
Adam Comorosky, Forest Jensen, Gus
Dugus and Dave Barbee in the rum
ming.
Generously has shown tendency
to become an ION and off, perform
er. Jensen, also a holdover, is not a
consistent hitter.
Satisfied With Catchers
Gibson managed the Pirates be-
fore, in 1920-21 and part Of 1922, but
before that he was peppery catcher
for the team, from 1905 to 1916. AS
a member of the behind the plate
fraternity, Gibson says he is satisfied
with his catching staff.
It includes Hal Finney, Earl Grace,
holdovers, and Bill Brenzel, Rookie
purchased from the San Francisco
missions.

Illusions Die Hard

Illusions Die Hard
Many Of my fellow experts will re-
call with what fanatical persistence
they chung to the belief in the old
Dempsey even when 1t should have
been quite palpable he was on the
skids, prior to the fight in which he
lost the title to Gene Tunney In 1926.
The old dynamite was still there or so
they believed. Jack was a to fav-
orite over Gene on the night he took
such bad beating at Philadelphia.
A year later Dempsey came out of
the ring at Chicago q moral victor
over Tunney and more popular than
ever. The famous seventh round
melted all the old antagonism against
Dempsey. He took his beating man.
fully and without squawking. He was
great guy, they told each other. And
he still is.
For that reason we hate to see the
old mauler take FASTING from fish
peddler, of all things, and In Chicago,
of all places.
But, on the other hand. before you
go out and have good cry, don't
overlook the fact that the old man
hauled off about So, 900 for about Is
minutes in the ring. You can take
lot Of cutting these days for that kind
OF money.

PITTSBURGH PIRATES TO TAKE
FIELD AS DOUBTFUL OUTFIT

Pittsburgh's pitching staff is
manned by veterans. Gibson thinks
they will stand up. He also expects
some help from couple of young
sters. Ray Kremer, Larry French,
Erwin Brame, Steve Swetonic, Glenn
Spencer, Charlie Wood and Henry
Meme are holdovers, with Meme in
the role of "holdout" at present. Har-
ris. Niggeling, Swift and Biven are
youngsters who have shown promise.

RED CONVICTED
Of ASSAULT

The first of four Communists
charged with assault after the
demonstration in front of the
japanese Embassy, March 26,
was convicted by a Police Court
jury before Judge Gus A. Schuldt
shortly after noon today.
The jury. after As minutes de-
liberation, found Albert Suskin, Of
Philadelphia, guilty of asSaulting
Sergt. John T. Langley, of the
First precinct. Sentence was de-
ferred pending the filing of mo-
tions by Defense Attorney Charles
Ford.
One of the two defense wit
nesses was Walter Gellhorn, secre-
tary to Justice Harlan Fiske
Stone. The other witness was j..
o. Irwin, newspaper reporter.
Both contradicted the testimony
of five policemen that Suskin
struck Sergeant Langley on the
jaw while the latter was arresting
Joan Hardy. 81, of Baltimore.
In his argument, Ford launched
a fiery attack upon police methods
in arreSting the demonstrators.

Bill Irvine, of Baltimore, who

both Tired Avon and Springsteel

along with Lillybet, Water Lad,
