The greatest wave of new stars ushered into the National League for many years brings to Cincin- nati a new first-baseman, strap ping young 1rishman named Frank (Buck) Mccormick. AS the home bound Reds march the exhibition trail through the Southland, daily reports tell of triples and doubles by Mccormick.
 Each lusty thwack of the McCor- mick bat increases the likelihood that on Opening Day in Cincy baseball's all-time championship Opening Day city, the towering figure of young Buck McCormick will make first base the focus oi Zealand fandom's eyes. They saw him last spring for a while Wher he stepped into the Crosley Fielo picture as Piedmont League batting champion. Then he bounced tc Syracuse for some Double A pol ishing and 1922 Internationa. League batting average. Then back to the Reds in September, closing his year with 1925 National League batting average for "A games.
 We'll Set Up
 In the Reds ensemble he stands as the tallest first-baseman in the league. In altitude, latitude and the length of his Timber arms he's the largest target any infield will have His feet frame packs 20 pounds plenty of heft to put into his swings when he's at home plate and the runs are there on the bases waiting for a wallop to start them plateWard.
 Other stars sparkled for the Reds down South as their share of this years record-breaking crop of stel- lar National League rockies, Harry Craft and Lee Gamble, outfielders with speed and batting power strong-arm pitchers like White Moore and Paul Gehrman. The great break for Mccormick is that first base loomed as a major train- ing camp problem with the Reds The new manager, sage Bill Me Kechnie, found himself with two Bucks to solve the problem, Baxte, (Buck) Jordan, the veteran, anc young Buck Mccormick.
 McKechnie knew all about the dependable Jordan, his first-base. man, when he managed the Bosto1 Bees. He had to find out about hi! other Buck. It took plenty of per formance to give young Buck thu edge. Any time young Buck falters old Buck is ready and ripe to stel in and steady the machine. Florid; fireworks earned young Buck hi

CARDINALS VICTORS
AFTER ODD WIND.UP
c. U. Team in Showers While Foe
Misses Post-Game Charity
Shot for Deadlock.

Because Chick Harte of st. Thomas
missed the second of two free shots,
both Of which were granted after the
game officially was over, Catholic Uni
versity's basket ballers, while in the
showers beneath their Brookland gym
last night. learned they had won .
1887 decision.
Harte's failure.to convert the game
tying chance probably saved trouble
all around, for the c. U. courtmen had
left the floor in the face Of protests
by the entire visiting squad. The
latter had made game come back to
overcome q 24-19 deficit at half-time
and forge ahead at 1925, only to see
the Cards take a 1886 lead seconds
before the end.
Then it was that Harte was fouled
in the act Of shooting with the game
ending almost simultaneously. While
st. Thomas was debating with Referee
Simpson that Harte had two shots
coming to him. the Cardinals went
to their dressing room.
After is minutes of discussion. dur
ing which time half the lights in the
c. U. gym were extinguished, Harte
lost his teams opportunity to demand
their hosts return after he had set
the stage for . tie score by dropping
the first Of his free throws.

SLEUTHS, RECALLS
SCRAP FOR TITLE
Rivals in Heurich Basket
Final Are Contrasts in
Their Makeup.

Two crack basket ball teams, Bu-
reau Of Investigation and Regal Cloth
iers, will clash tonight on the Heurich
court in the piece de resistance of the
local independent court season First
and second half winners, respectively,
they will battle for supremacy in the
Heurich Cup League.
It is interesting to note a contrast
between the two teams. The Investi-
gators are q group Of name" play

tingents this city ever has fostered.

that for eight years has been known

Sleuths Starred in College.
Seven Of the G-men ere former
college stars, and all at least had .
high school education, whereas the
Royals, taken individually, cannot be

Heading the Sleuths are Glenn Beth

and Herbie Thompson, two former
Duke University basket ball captains;
Nelson Colley, also q former Blue

point scorer, and Chet Airhart, late of
Duquesne. Also there are "Dopey"
Dean, Eastern Highs old ace; Joe
Robinson, who halls from Elmira, N.
Y, and Bernie Jones, the old Business
High mainstay.
How many Of the Clothiers can
you recall? There's Andy Viana,
Pickle Walker. Reds Sullivan, Tom
Folliard, Ray Curtin and Bob Smith,
who have composed the nucleus of the
team since they were kids on the old

tom, and then two comparative new
comers, Hal Keisel and Eugene DAILY.
Keisel was George Washington's crack
center for three years, and DAILY was
a member Of Westerns interhigh
champions last year. Both are re-
cent acquisitions.

In. the first half of current loop
play the G-men dropped only of

ished fourth in the first half, but have
set blistering pace this half, with
eight wins In as many starts. They
also finished fourth last year in the
frst half but braoed on the second
lap to win and then went on to the
championship in the play-o1. They
carried the Rinaldi Tailor banner

scrap which will array Pete Lempesis,

stressed should be the spiciest of the

are in prospect. There will be that

and fully half Of them should be ding

There will be two sessions tomorrow
to close the tourney, with the semi
finals at 2:30 in the afternoon and
the finals at 8 o'clock at night. The
outlook is that Richie Coliseum will
be well filled each time.

great majority Of the tickets are $l.10
