Pittsburgh surely has had its share of accidents in the past few years, but I'm satisfied that with anything else than bad breaks we will have as good a chance for the flag as four other clubs I can name. We've got youth, speed, strength afield, a fine pitching staff and a wallop at the Pleased With Hurlers I am more than pleased with our pitching outlook. For regular mounds- men, we have Kremer, who topped the league in victories last year: French, who with Kremer led in the! number of innings pitched; Brame, winner of 17 games after being out 1¢ weeks and whom I consider one of \the few pitchers having a fine chance | to bag 25 victories this year; Spencer. | Swetonic, Meine, Bednar and the left- | hander, Charley Wood, wiio proved quite a sensation after he joined us last fall from the Wichita club. where he won 22 and lost three. I’m also; j counting on some help from Grant. |drafted from Rochester, loughy from the Phillies, a real hard worker. Bivens and Kennedy, a couple of Mississippi Valley Leaugers. Per- sonally, I don’t see where that staff nould have to back water for any pitching corps in the league. Strengthens Squad We recently put through a deal which would strengthen our catching | department. We obtained Phillips, who was with Detroit some time ago. to help Ralston Hemsley, who caught more than 90 games for us in 1930.' |Hemsley has the ability to become | one of the standout catchers of the | loop. Mealey, from the Wichita club. | and Tinney, whom we carried late last fall, round out the corps. There may be better infields than the Pirates’ this year, but I doubt it. Suhr at first should be one of the most dangerous hitters in the circuit. | judging from his record of 107 runs driven in as a big league freshman last year. The least we can say of Grantham at second and Captain Pie! Traynor at third is that they appear to be regulars at their corners. We got Thevenow from the Phiilies for Bartell, and I believe Tommy will gc great for us at shortstop. Infield re- serves include Sankey, who was one of us last year; Regan, recently bought from the Boston Red Sox; Clarke, farmed to Fort Worth last season; and @ youngster named Piet | who comes highly recommended from | the Texas League. Worried Over Waner As I write this I have my fingers crossed, for the Waner jinx has jbobbed up again, this time in the; form of an operation for an infection | jon Paul's left leg.

For extra outfieids we have Mosolf, a good pinch - hitter; Dugan, the batting champ of the Western League; Jensen, anothe Western Leaguer with a fine record, and McClanahan from Shreveport. All in all, I'd say our prospects for {@ Pennant were very bright. We've got the stuff if we don’t get the in- juries. Satan Five Noses Out Grand Forks! Devils Lake, N.

Five times these warriors have clashed before with Tut holding a slight edge over the “Fargo Express.” Petrolle won the first two encounters, then Tut captured two decisions and evened the score. Petrolle went into the fifth battle with plenty of support. He had climaxed a brilliant come-back cam- paign by giving Jimmy McLarnin the worst beating of his career. But Tut, not a bit intimidated by Petrolle’s sensational series of triumps, knocked out the Fargo slugger in a half a minute of the first round. Now Billy threatens to quit the ring for good if he fails to hurdle his Minneapolis Nemesis Friday night. He's on the short end of the betting which, in view of what has happened at the garden in recent months, should be a good omen. Short-end- ; ers have been consistently successful up Eighth avenue way since the cur- rent indoor season began. Tut, in view of his decisive triumphs over Petrolle at St. Paul, naturally is the logical favorite.

The Papooses held @ 4-2 advantage at the end of the first quarter, a 12-4 lead at halftime, and a 14-8 lead to conclude the third period. Attempting a final period rally, the 8 12 while holding the Papooses score- less until three minutes before the game was over.

Partridge held high scoring honors with eight points, while Jimmy Joyce led the St. Mary quint with six. Coach Byler of the Papooses used eight men in the game while A. C.

Mary quint raised their total tojover Minnesota, Purdue and North- western in a quadrangular meet Fri- day night at Patten gymnasium, Northwestern's stronghold. The Hoosiers, equipped with out- standing power in the distance runs, and better than ordinary strength in the sprints, hurdles and pole vault, made themselves noticeable recently by defeating Ohio State’s strong team in a dual meet, and only Minnesota appears capable of making a contest of Friday night's event. Minnesota will have Captain John- ny Hass in the spring and hurdles, and Clarence Munn, captain-elect’ of the 1931 Gopher football squac, in the shotput. Indiana’s bets are Brock- smith, Leas and Kep in the distance events, and Gordon in the dashes. Northwestern scored only 22 points in a quadrangular meet with Wiscon- sin, Ohio State and Chicago last week, and doesn’t figure to do more than get a first place in the pole vault out of Tommy Warne, and scattered places in other events. Purdue, with- out Orval Martin, its great middle distance man, appears to be without an outstanding performer. ‘Discoverer’ Is Anxious to See Strib Champion Patrick J.

(Young) Stribling wrests the heavy- weight title from Max Schmeling this coming summer, there'll be no one happier than Patrick J. Morrisey, old time athlete and fight promoter. One warm, dusty afternoon some years back, a good looking, cleancut youngster appeared at Morrisey’s theater :n Glassport, on the outskirts ot Pittsburgh, and asked to enter one of the amateur boxing shows adver- tised outside. Morrisey looked the youngster over. He was strong and willing, but that/ was about all. He was traveling with a company of acrobats, playing small towns along the Monongahela river} j and he thought he’d like to get into the fight game. The next day, Morrisey took the spuneeer in hand. . He taught him; how to use a right cross to advantage, how to duck, how to swing his left, | how to use his feet, and took a liking ‘to the chap.

By ORLO ROBERTSON New York, Feb. 27.—()—He says his name is William Taten Tilden IL but it really isn’t. He is William Ta- tem Tilden, Jr. They called him “Junior” to distinguish him from his father and his elder brother, Herbert Marmaduke Tilden and he hated it. So as soon as he could, “Junior” Til- den became William Tatem II, To complicate the matter further he js “Will” to his aunt, Miss Hay. and a@ cousin, Miss Selina Hay, who took his bringing up in charge after the death of his mother. He calls Selina “Twin” so they are about even. Big Bill has four great interests— tennis, the stage, music and bridge. He played baseball and hockey at prep school in Philadelphia and was rather good. His brother Marmaduke taught him to play tennis, beat him consistently, but died before Bill be- came great. Likes to Act Bill long ago reached the profes- sional stage but he isn’t considered a good actor. He knows the technique can memorize the parts. He has the talent to be a good actor. “But I don't care,” he says. “I love the stage. I love to act. It pleases ne and—let's say I'm selfish about rt.” Music ranks next in his devotions. He has attended so many operas that he knows most of the lines. Bill plays no instrument but he has one of the largest collections of phonograph fec- ords—all of singers—in the country. Every record Mary Garden ever made is in the collection. He plays them for hours at a time. “If I had to give up either tennis jor music,” he said at the height of his career, “I would give up tennis.’ Big Bill is full of mannerisms Th> same tricks, gestures, voice inflections and attitudes that caused so mucn comment on the courts are part of his jevery day actions, They annoy most of his friends. The closest ignore |them. He plays bridge as well as he plays tennis and almost as much. He makes frequent remarks—“of what a rotten hand, “or ‘well’ played” to his partner, or the reverse. Contracc bridge is his favorite. Frank Hunter teams with him as he does in tennis. | They once trimmed a pair of cara Sharks down in Florida. He calls Frank “Smarty” and in- sists he can beat him anything. Hunter shoots golf in the 80's, Tilden ‘They used to dislike jeach other heartily. Now Frank says. ;“You got to know Bill to really like him.” Cultivates Celebrities Tilden likes celebrities and culti- vates them. He enjoys his position in the limelight and likes to eo witn others in the same position. He smokes nothing but cigarettes and many of them. | The first time he won the American {national title in 1920, a friend i~ the jelubhouse offered him a cocktail. |. “dust for the championship, Bill.” ‘he argued. { Bill hesitated and then shook his ‘head.
