Luisetti Fine FI0orman.

THE Stanfords are led by boy
named Angelo Luisetti and he
is one of the finest basket ball players
these eyes have lamped in several
Winters. Playing against Southern
California, which IS fair basket ball
team by any yardage, Senor Luisetti
Gagged himself a gross Of 43 points in
two games and might have had more
only for an innate modesty which pre-
vented him taking many more shots
from well out on the floor.
Luisetti not only is a fine shot, but
an excellent foorman and quite ef-
fective on defense. Coast observers
rate the Stanford star as the superior
to Lee Guttero, an all-America on the
Southern California team few years
back, and it is quite certain the young
ster will win national honors this
season.
The Stanford-Southern California
series, played in a Hollywood arena,
was a sellout and the two games at
tracted some $4,000 paid customers,
which is more or less record for bas-
ket ball attendance here on the coast.
Basket ball would draw on par with
the Middle West il there we're suffi-
cient accommodations. However. the
Pacific Coast schools, or very few of
them at least, have not the expansive
field houses found in the corn belt or
in the East and the attendance nat
urally is restricted.

OS ANGELES, CALI, FEBRUARY
6.-It is necessary for me to
warn the citizens Of the sover-
- eign State of Indiana that 1t Is
about to lose some basket ball honors
unless the youth Of the domain is up
and doing. For many years citizens
OF the State of Indiana have boaSted
Of a basket hung upon the side Of each
barn as well as two chicken in the
skillet. All that is changing and the
sovereign State Of California is reach
ing out for basket ball honors to add
to its claims of superior climate. seem
cry and blonds.
The youth Of the State of California
Is turning its time and attention to
the art of pitching a basket ball
through hoop, and doing right well
at the pastime. Out here basket ball
usually Is referred to as the casaba
sport. I will admit it took me some
time to associate basket ball with a
casaba, but it seems a casaba Is some
sort Of a melon that on a pitch dark
night might be taken for a basket
ball
However that may be, Stanford
University this Winter has basket
ball team which could dc right well
or perhaps hold its own with the quin-
tets of Purdue, Notre Dame or Indiana
Universities. I realize this is rank
heresy and that upon my return to
the Middle West shall have to make
amends to Ward Lambert, George
Keogan and Everett Dean. But the
fact remains that the Stanfords, ss
constituted this Winter-and 1t is
real Winter out here-could give the
Purdues, Notre Danes and Indianas
q real tussle on the court.

Bucs Eager to Get Dean.

PRESIDENT BILL BENSWANGER
Of the Pittsburgh Pirates and
General Manager Warren Giles of the
Cincinnati Reds both admitted they
still were interested in Dizzy, though
Giles said, Wed like to have definite
assurance before We bought or traded
for him that he'd sign at reasonable
figure"
Benswanger said he expected to dis
cuss the Dean situation with Hickey
and Breadon, and added that he'd be
willing to take his chances on signing
the great one if he got him.
I'VE discussed Dean with Hickey
last month when Branch was in
Pittsburgh" Benswanger said. Branch
called me on the phone and asked me
If I had bought Dizzy yet. I said,
NO, have you sold him yet?' and
Hickey replied, No, haven't. Those
guys in st. Louis certainly must be
hard to deal with"

We're going to keep Mize until We

he is and I don't care who knows it."
When the session opened this morn
ing a published report in a magazine
stating that John L. Lewis might at
tempt to organize base ball players
union lay on President Ford Fricks
desk.
Speaking casually to Benswaneer
and Giles before the meeting opened,
Frick said, You fellows probably
think this is big joke, but Lewis
really may try to organize the players
into a union" Asked directly his
opinion of this later, Frick said he
placed absolutely no credence in the
report. 1t was announced after the
meeting that the question had not
come up at the session.
After Bootleg" Broadcasters.
THE owners spent most of the day
- trying to draft a radio contract
which would prevent stations from
broadcasting games without being un-
der contract to do so. The club own
ers, who figure broadcasting rights
are worth anywhere from $4,000 10
100000 year each, were advised on
the subject by Special Counsel Nathan
Miller.
Specifications for the new ball-a
cross between the old dead ball" of
three years ago and the present ball
were drawn at the December major
league meetings. Manufacturers
brought two samples of the ball to
the meeting today, one with raised
seams and one with rolled seams. The
club owners chose the latter, but be-
fore it can become the official major
league ball of 1898 it must be accepted
by the American League.
Adoption of the league schedule was
routine. The schedule had been print
ed for week. The season will open
April 19 in Boston with the Phillies
playing the Boston Bees two games
one in the morning and the other in
the afternoon. The other teams in the
league will open the following day.

Ever since the sectional qualifica-

Washington hasn't missed getting at

usually the trials for both the amateur
