HARRY CRIMSON

Erskine Johnson, NEA Servlce staff correspondent covering the three major league clubs training on the Pacific Coast-Pirates, Cubs, and White Sox-has been shooting in some interesting per- sonality stuff he has gathered in the camps there. And from here on you're going to read what that Los Angeles sports scribe has to divulge: r.
 Rain, not a few drops, but bar rels of it, has played havoc with the spring training programs of the thte major league clubs here in "sunny" California.
 Chagrined the most are officials of the Pittsburgh club, who switched from Paso Robles to San Bernardino this spring. In II years at the former city, involving about 200 days, the Bucs lost bu: three days on account of incleni- ent weather.
 (Ed. Note: Of course, that rain Is "unusual.") ..
 Gabby Hartnett, Chicago Cub catcher, seems to be the only vic- tim of the dampness. He turned up with sore throat at. Catalina Island, and hardly could speak above whisper for days. That was q bitter pill for Hartnett to swallow, for when the gabby one can't articulate, he is as much out of his element as a musk OK in the Sahara desert.
 Fodder of the Finest
 Your old fy-ball juggling friend, Babe Herman, says the Pirate training camp at San Bernardino is the best equipped of any in which he ever has trained./
 "The food Is the best I've ever. eaten," the former Cub and Brook lyn gardener goes on to explain. Dcmarce Goes "Natnral"
 Observers are watching with in- terest the comeback of Frank De- maree, again with the Cubs.
 The youngster, champion hitter of the Coast League in 1894, afte. being returned to Los Angeles for seasoning by the Cubs last spring, blamed his failure to hit in ths majors on the Cubs attempt to change his batting stance. t
 At Los Angeles he was permit ted to hit his natural style, and he smacked everything pitchers in the circuit had to offer. This year the Cubs aren't going to interfere with his style, and the 24-year-oid outfielder is sure he'll stick. Just Like Home
 A big poker game was under way in the card room at Hotel St Catherine, eating and sleeping place for the Cubs at Catalint. Island. At the table were Billy urges, sleek-haired ,shortstop; Chuck Klein, hard hitting outfield- CT; Tex Carleton, pitcher acquired from St Louis; Freddie Lindstroin, late of Pittsburgh; John Seys, vice president of the Cubs, and Boots Weber, secretary and treasurer.
 As the game progressed. Man ager Charley Grimm and Pitch- CTS Lon Warneke and Larry French congregated behind Carle- tons seat.
 A wit on the sce0e remarked:
 Well. you can see that Carleton is from St Louis. The boss is gis- ing him personal attention al- ready"
 LiDdy Problem at Third
 Manager Grimm is counting on Freddie Lindstrom to play third base for the Cubs this year, but n lot of the experts say it can't be done-switching an outfielder into the infield. .S
 They point out that Lindstroms outfield career with the Giants and Pittsburgh makes him unfit to get down on the ball well enough 10. be an infielder.
 But look what Branch Hickey did wtth Panner Martik;

In beating the Falcons, the Hillies won the first round title without dropping a game and last nights victory in the popular "" Inter- club league.
 Big Splurge
 After getting off to a slow start and being held on even terms un.. til midway in the third period the Hillies suddenly started to so places and almost broke down the Falcons basket by dropping in field goals from all angles and dis tances. Coach Red Gladney made but one change in his lineup dur ing the fray when he inserted Joe Pomponio in the lineup in place of Freddy Sullivan when the latter had three personals caleld on him in the first five minutes of play.
 The Falcons opened the game by scoring two quick baskets by the Laubitis brothers and increased their lead to seven points before Cunha made free try to give the winners their first point of the evening. A basket by Cunha gave the Hillies their only other score in the first eight minutes of action and the first period ended with the Falcons out in front by 2 to 3 margin.
 Heavy Scoring
 Mike Higgiston, newest addition to the Falcons ranks and Mistura scored baskets to Increase the Fall cons margin but Baskets by Pete Pomponio and Stankevich kept the Doughboys in the ball game. Benny Labutis made good on three foul attempts and Cunha scored a basket just as the period ended to put the Hillies within one bas- ket of tying the score.
 Just after the whistle blew start. ing the third period Pete Pom ponio let fly a long shot which found its mark and tied the score but a minute later Higgiston again put his mates in the lead with a side shot. Joe Pomponio then scored two quick baskets which seemed to be the signal for the Hillies to open up because frcm this point of the game the Hillies took the lead for the first time and held it for the remainder of the game bombarding the hoop from ali angles and continuing to rul. away from their opponents.
 Out!
 Joe Pomponio and Eddie La butts were banished from the game in the final period for attempting to come to blows and Freddie Sul. iivan again entered the game and added three more points to the winners total.
 Every one of the Hillies, who saw action scored at least three points with Cunha and Pete Pom ponio featuring while Benny La- butts gave nice exhibition of foul shooting when he made eight attempts out of nine tries and along with two >baskcts scored twelve of his teams points. Last nights score:

ROBBERY ATTEMPTED IN
HOME AT WHITEHEAD

A daring attempt at robbery was
staged late Thursday night at the
home of w. B. Reeves, short dis
lance from town, a few minutes after
Ben G.. Reeves had returned home
after closing the Spartan theatre
Young Mr.. Reeves was alon in the
living room of the home when he
heard noise and looking toward a
door which opens onto a porch, saw
that it had been opened and that a
shotgun was leveled at him. Showing
great presence of mind he jumped
behind the door and slammed it shut.
The would-be intruder or intruders
then ran away before other members
of the family were aware that any
attempt at robbery had been made.
Mr.. Reeves in an interview later
stated that he caught only glance
of one man outside the door, that this
man was partly masked, but that he
did not recognize him although, he
said, he was of the opinion it was a
local "job. THE Allegheny Times.
