Letters from fans continue to arrive, Mr. Johnson said, urging him to keep up the fight against gambling in bas ball. Another offering was a ba of roses, There was increasing evidence to- day that the club-owners were eager to restore the peace of two vears and also of last month, between Base Ball Commissioner Landis and John- #on. The American League executive feels that he can satisfactorily ex- plain to the commissioner Monday the reasons why his circuit does not want to employ Cobb and Speaker any longer. 1 While the commissioner has been silent on his plans for Monday's ses- sion, President Johnson has talked | help settle | they and | ma freely to newspaper men of the story behind the dismissal of these two anl he feels confident that his wners are still back of him, as were last September when the ates voted to authorize the de mand for resignations of the Detroit and Cleveland managers. Look to Ruppert. Although not a member of the league buard of directors, Col. Jacob Ruppert of the New York Yankees is regarded as the “man of the hour,” because of his influence with the other club-owners, with Johnson and with the commissioner. Col. Ruppert’s only expression in advance of the two sesslons tomor- row and Monday is that he has “an open mind.” Base ball observers feel that in view of this attitude he likely will endeavor to conclude another truce between the commissioner and the American League boss. Although President Johnson’s agree- ment with the league runs for nine more years, at a salary of $40,000 a year, there have been indications that he would be willing to listen to an arrangement for a graceful retire- ment. “I_have been in harness steadily for 34 years,” Mr. Johnson said re- cently, ‘but talk of his resignation under fire brought emphatic denials. club- PITTSBURGH CLUB PLACES FAITH IN YOUNG PLAYERS Pirate Fans Are Sure Team Will Be One, Two, Three. Experts Expect Chances to Be Hurt by Loss of Carey, Adams, Bigbee and McInnis. Note: This is the xu!h of a series of stories on 1927 major league clud prospects. By the Associated Press PITTSBURGH, January 22.—Sup- ported by a cast of young and scintil- lating players, Owen (“Donie”) Bush, new manager of the Pittsburgh Na- tionals, will combine them with his long major league experience in the hope of capturing the 1927 world base ball championship. Stanch followers of the Pirates pick the team to finish first, escond or third the coming season, pinning their faith on the speed and playing ability of the young stars, who, despite inter- club strife late in the 1926 season, held the club in a money position. No ma- Jor deals have been put over this Winter, but the club is well fortified in every department with the possible exception of pitching. In the outer gardens, Hazen Cuyler * slugger and speed merchant, will be in center, with Paul Waner in right. Much is expected of Waner this year, because of his brilliant playing last season. The left garden is a toss-up between the veteran Clyde Barnhart, Herman Layne, acquired from Toronto, and Fred Brickell, a product of the Western League. All are fleet of foot and heavy hitters. A trio of the league’s highlights will be at their old posts in the infield. The rangy George Grantham is a_fixture at first base, Glenn Wright will cavort ‘ The Keystone sack, a Pirate problem for many seasons, may be solved by Joe Cronin. Hal Rhyne, former Pacific Coast star, also is a Keystone candi- date. Lloyd Waner, brother of Paul, has played the outfield in the minor leagues, but Bush believes he may make a good infielder. The backstop post will give the new manager little trouble, with the three club, veterans, Earl Smith, Johnny Gooch and Spencer, ready for action The pitching staff is held in some quarters to be weak, vet it looks good on paper. Kremer, Aldridge, Morrison, Hill, Joe Bush and Lee Meadows, all seasoned men, are expected to bear the brunt of hurling duty. Songer and Yde may see steady action. To this regular force has been added Chet Nichols, formerly of the New Haven and Mike Cvengros, former ‘White Sox moundsman. try-out—Comarosky, port, Pa., Two rookie outfielders will get a from Willlams- and Frye, Johnstown, Pa.

The Evening Star BOYS CLUB | BY PAUL PREHN. University of Tllinois Wrestling Coach. 'D LIKE to see every boy learn wrestling, for it is the greatest of real man-to-man sports. Boys actually struggle more and prove physical superiority more com- pletely in wrestling than in any other sport. Every muscle in the body fig- ures in wrestling, and it is that fea- ture which bullds strong, muscular fellot We'll start on the exercises that build up the body for wrestling, The first exercise is between two boys. They face each other, the right feet forward. The left hands are behind backs. The right hands clasp. Then the game starts. The object of each boy is to unbalance the other. Force the other fellow to move his feet or fall. After a spirited bout of pulling with the right hands reverse the positions, with left feet forward instead of right, and lefts clasping instead of rights. T'he object is the same in this exer- cise. In addition, in the second exercise, where left hands clasp, try using the right hand on the chest or shoulder of your oppenent instead of keeping it behind the back. Make false motions to puzzle him and then suddenly pull him off balance. Another method teaches the ability to push your opponent backward and keep him off balance. Left foot for- wards left hand on opponent’s neck. Right hand wherever it can be used to best advantage. Feet wide apart. Lean forward throwing weight on op- ponent. Then force him backward, Keep feet apart to maintain own bal- ance. Never cross them. These exercises develop your strength and are the first lessons to learn in wrestling. Another Paul Prehn wrestling talk tomorrow. (Copyright. 1927.)

BASKET BALL TEAMS TO CLASH FOR LEAD By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January of the Big Ten basket stake tonight in the contest at Bloom- ington between Michigan and Indiana. Each team has three victories and no defeats, with the Hooslers having the more impressive showing against their opponents. A month hence these two leaders have their second opportunity to fight for the laurels in a return game at Ann Arbor. Purdue won an easy victory over Chicago last night, 36 to 18, and moved into second place alongside Wisconsin. The Badgers, however, are likely to break this tie, with another victory tonight over Northwestern, which so far has failed to win a conference me. Next to the Michigan-Indiana tilt in prospects of a bitter struggle is the Towa-Tllinois game at Urbana tonight the loss of two close games in a row has fired the determination of the Tilini.
