SPORTS. WILL HAVE GOOD PITCHING, DECLARES NEW BUC PILOT Now Has Six Hurlers Who Will Be in Fine Form at Start of Campaign, He Says—Meadows, Yde and Aldridge in Great Trim. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. ASO ROBLES, Calif., March The sun lays a fiery trail over the ball ground here among the pink almond blossoms _and Donle Bush has surrounded the diamond with a trail of tabasco sauce. That is one point of difference be- tween the Pittsburghs of 1926 and those of 1927. Even the young man who operates the automobile between the station and the hotel here notices it. ““They're stepping high this year,” was his salutation to late arrivals, a lot of whom are coming every day. Interest in the Pittsburgh club for the season just dawning is greater than it has been in previous years. Perhaps that is because there are some California boys sweating out under the burning sun. And they sweat, too. The East may shiver when the March wind comes cold out of the North, but five min- utes walk underneath the radiator that provides light and heat for the Golden State produces little ripples that trickle from under a hat brim and chase continuously down frying faces. “Weather {s great,” sald Manager Donie Bush, who has been getting acquainted with his Pirate crew. “‘They're a great lot of boys, I don't know much about the National Lea- gue because I've never played in it, but if all players of National League clubs work as hard as these boys, it seems to me there should be speed enough in the Spring to burn grass. Show Speed in Work. “Sometimes some of the fellows in the American League used to say the National League took it easier than we did. Not so that I have noticed here. I guess this must be a sample of what they call local pride in base 1t was when they used to throw brick- bats at us when we rode in band wagons Instead of dressing at parks.” “The fans say, Donie, that Pitts- ourgh hasn’t any pitchers.” “I'll. make a bet right now that ain’t so. I'll show you six pitchers that can curve the ball on this first day of March. Maybe, you think that isn’t all there is to a pitcher and maybe {t isn't, but if a team has six pitchers who can throw curves in March, I say that it has six pitchers who can win games in July. My pitchers will be doing things in the games this year that will be helping the other boys hold their own with thelr bats. I've got good pitchers.” Donie added: “Meadows is In capi- tal condition,” whereupon Meadows, with a, neck like bronze and a face tanned like that of a weather-beaten ‘ar walked by and proved it. Meadows Looks Good “Taking off welght, Lee?” “Putting it on,” was the good-na- tured reply. “Been down to weight all of the Winter in Florida. Never was better able to pitch than I am at this moment. I see where some of the boys have been saying I was lucky in 1926. I was, was 1? I can't figure where a man shouldn’t have some show for a little more than luck if he is able to win more than 10 games.” “Vic Aldridge is working his head off. In the past Aldridge has had the reputation of being a pitcher who looked upon a Spring training camp as something worse than a bunion. But he is out here now taking his turn at the hard stunts. Yde is as bronzed as an Indlan. He probably will pitch better ball this year than last. “Talking about pitchers,” sald Bush “I'll bet I can put in three right nov who will win against any club tha wants to play us, and when the enc of the season comes the Pittsburghs ball. 1 never did find out exactly what that local pride meant, unless will have more than one pitcher who has made a reputation.” ROD AND STREAM By Perry Milller Some idea of the work being ac- complished by the United States Bu- reau of Fisheries is shown by a re- port just issued. During the year 1926 the output of the fish culture stations and rescue operations @x- ceeded 5,232,000,000 fish and eggs, &c- cording to the report, which disclosed that the bureau operated 70 stations and substations distributed over the United States and Alaska. ‘The 44 species propagated include nearly every important food and game fish in our waters. The bureau salvaged about 160,000,000 fished from the landlocked pools among the upper Mississippi, and the bureau further reports that to meet the growing de- mand for fingerling fish, had in- creased its output by more than 100 per cent, producing nearly 300,000,000 fingerling fish. The five distribution cars of the bureau traveled more than 85,000 miles, and its ‘messengers, traveling by regular baggage cars, covered many of the out-of-the-way places in distributing the huge output of these stations. The bureau receives from 12,000 to 16,000 applications annually for fish, and finds it difficult to supply the Srowing army of applicants, the re- port states. Sportsmen of Washington and Vir- W up in arms against proposed on by the Biological Survey to do away with sink boxes on the Potomac. River. These men declare that ducks are more plentiful now than at any time for years past. They @lso declare that the best ducks, canvas backs and mallards can only be shot from sink boxes, as they do not come into shore to feed.

The captain of our boat says that the fish- ing is just as good here (Port Sewall) as at Long Key. One day last week Dr. Palalia and I under favorable conditions caught 53. But we did much better the next day. In the forenoon we ran into a school of blue- fish and in less than 15 minutes we ®ot eight, when some porpoises came along and the fish all went to the bot- tom. Then we tried bottom fishing. 1 forgot to say that blue fish ‘are hard to get because they have such soft mouths. We had fine luck, caught sheepshead and, believe me, when you hook a five or six pound sheep it can Pput up some fight. “It is fishing de luxe. We fish {from a big motor boat that has all conveniences and we sit in comfort. able armchairs dhd have lunch aboard. One interesting feature is that one m kno'vsh:vhn,t he ;‘l going to get. we have caught no less 11 varidties.” 5 g A Rock Hall fisherman recently wrote ao & Baltimore paper as fol- “There seems to be a determined #ffort among the hook and line people to cause the abolishment of the purse- met fishing industry in Chesapeake , clalming that this manner of fishing will exterminate the kind of fsh being caught with these nets. “No one can truthfully say that purse nets catch more fish than other kinds of nets. All take their share in the seasons they are oper- ated. It has been reported that hun- dreds of tons of fish were caught by purse nets during last season. I don’t know who caught them. I know that I didn’t. I believe in the conservation of fish, but I don't belleve in the con- servation of the bay just for the ac- commodation of the hook and line fraternity. “I have been engaged in purse fish- ing since 1898, and instead of fish getting scarcer they have become more plentiful, especially the last few seasons I have fished. During the season of 1926 I saw more fish in the bay than I have ever seen in any one season during my fishing experience.” There are, of course, two sides to every question. Some purse netters openly violate the law in operating in restricted zones and do not seem to care what becomes of the hook and line anglers they may surround with their nets; whether they upset their boats and throw the occupants out in the water or not. The writer knows whereof he speaks, because he was caught in just such a condition last season. There may have been an un- usual number of’ fish in the bay last season, but there is no doubt these men take thousands of them annually. They should be stopped. NN TR R DUNDEE WHIPS BORDE.

NEW YORK, March 2.—Three pro- fessional hockey teams, the Ottawa Senators and New York Americans in the National League and the Boston Tigers in the Canadian-American cir- cuit, were busy today with explana- tions of charges that beset the clubs. Prompt and sweeping denlals greet- ed reports that a league contest Sat- urday night between Ottawa and Americans was “sloughed” to New York in order that the Americans might more easily gain the annual play-off series. The Americans won, 3 to 2, after 16 seconds of overtime. The Boston Tigers, returning to Boston from a contest in Quebec, were minus 20 bottles of whisky that cus- toms officials at Richfort, Vt., found in their luggage. Fines were plas- tered on the players to the amount of $5 a bottle in addition to confiscation of the contraband. The players were allowéd to pro- ceed when a porter in the train, al- though denying knowledge of the liquor, paid a fine of $335 for 65 other bottles of whisky found wrapped in pillowcases behind a partition in the Tigers' p-ivate car. Reports of the “sloughing” of the Ottawa-American game were accom- panied by tales of large bets, offered at surprising odds, that the Americans would win the contest despite the record of the league-leading Senators. The Americans are now fourth in the international section standing.

RUTH WORRIES OVER WIFE NOW INSTEAD OF SALARY By the Associated Press. EW YORK, March 2—Demand of $200,000 in base ball salary from the New York Yankees for the next two years of play was the least of Babe Ruth's worries on his homecoming today from movie work at Hollywood. Mrs. Ruth has been in a hospital for several days although knowledge of her fliness was known only to base ball's premier glugger and a few friends until today. Physicians with- held comment on her condition. Apparently Ruth can stick to his stand in the event of a financial dead- lock with the Yankees and still not suf- fer actual want for some time to come. His earnings since the close of the last season have exceeded $160,000, it is estimated. They have been derived from world series and post-season exhibition ball games, syndicate stories, vaudeville and the movie that he has just com- pleted in Hollywood. Some base ball fans were a bit Impressed by the Babe's threat to de- vote his efforts in the future to these flelds unless the Yankees grant his de- mands for a salary far exceeding any- thing now paid in base ball. Neat Scheme Stops Dribble From Side BASKET BALL. BY SOL METZGER. . Coming up on a dribbler from the rear and breaking his dribble is no easy stunt. First place it demands speed. If the dribbler is faster than the opponent, the latter is out of luck, even more so than he was for letting this opponent get by him. But there is a way of accom- pl.llh.‘:l‘t the stunt of breaking up the dribble from the rear. It is to get alongside of your man and use the arm nearest to him to bat the ball, as the er is doing on the dribbler’s left in the illustration. The ‘phyer on the right is using his outside arm to bat the ball. That is poor basket ball, for he cannot keep his arm in this position when his leg next to the dribbler comes forward, as the lower illustration shows. The other rhm:, the one on the dribbler’s left, a_much better chance to break the dribble as he can keep batting away at the ball while he runs. 'l‘iut s the way Capt. Alexander of Princeton's crack five breaks up a dribble. (Copyright 1027.) WILL TRY LONG SWIM.

ATLANTA, Ga., March 2.—Defen- sive rather than offensive play was the dominant activity in the 14 South- ern Conference basket ball teams over which Vanderbilt University presides as champlon today. . A study of scores and scoring methods in the elimination tourna- ment concluded last night indicates further that team-play more and more is attracting the concentration of basket ball coaches. ‘Vanderbilt scored 158 points against four opponents and held these teams to 121 points. A Georgia team that lost to Vanderbilt, 44 to 46, In the finals, scored 130 points against 102 gathered by four opposing teams. | Keon scored 23 The champions, then, ‘points more than the second place team, but had 19 points more scored against them. Low scores were predominant. Van- derblit's 46 points in the last game was the highest registered in the four days play. Georgla’s 44 was matched only once by Vandy against Washington and Lee. Most of the scores ranged between 25 and 35 points. Play from the start featured the defensvie. North Carolina’s team heretofore a high scorer, presented a Jam-up defensive, but it couldn’t get goals. No North Carolina team seen here in past years would have been put out of the tournament with a meager 28 points. That was Georgila's winning score in the semi-finals, High individual scores were few. Stuart, Vanderbilt center, led with 64 points. Keen of Georgla came through with 43 for second place and Flor- ence, his running mate, got 38. Baker of Vanderbilt had 36 and Vandy's other forward, Bridges, got 83. Teams entered this year were on the whole more evenly matched than in previous years. Tied scores and narrow leads were the order. Coaches who saw the games from sidelines said the play throughout was of an excellence unapproached in previous years. — YORK WINS TITLE.

ATLANTA, March 2.-—Laurel wreaths, denoting supremacy in Bouthern Conference basket ball fitted the brows of a Vanderbilt team today. Georgla bowed to the Tennesseans last night, 46 to 44, after leading more than half the play and going down at last before a hastily attuned co- ordination and greater accuracy.

Vanderbilt played with a design and precision rarely seen in the court nm-a buta in tt‘-‘r.n nr?:d hbu.l! were out- scored and outsma: Yy a graceful Red and Black team. Drew, Georgia had the better of it with Stuart, and the Georgians turned a ball captured at the tip off into a series of passes that consistently placed a man In position to score. During the half Georgia was su. perior in defensive play, clamping a five-man net work around the Vander- bilt goal and forcing Stuart, a scor- ing ace, and Baker, speedy forward, to shoot from the side lines and mid- court. Occasionally a player broke through for a neat goal, but at the half Georgia was in the lead, 26 to 18. In the last half the Tennesseans drew on a superior form, and clamped the same defense on Georgia that checked their own efforts earlier. Drew was Mpst to Georgia on fouls and Frain, who succeeded him, found Stuart elusive. The Commodores swept into the lead and were not headed. One of the curiosities in the tour- nament play was that Georgia en- joyed an advantage over North Caro- | py lina by making good on free throws and then, in the final game, distinctly lost an advantage in the same de- partment.

McTIGUE-SHARKEY BATTLE Throng Rivaling That Which Saw Maloney-Delaney to See Bout Tomorrow Night—Jack Is Choice, But Wagering Is Very Light. By the Associated Pre EW YORK, March 2.—A crowd rivaling In size the record throng that saw Jimmy Ma- loney whip Jack Delaney will be at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night when Jack Sharkey of Boston clashes with Mike McTigue of the rejuvenated right-hand wallop, in a 16-round elimination match in Tex Rickard's heavyweight tournament. Indications are that another jam of 18,000 will be in the Garden. With the top seat price set at $22, the record gate of $200,000 set two weeks ago may be equaled. McTigue, with the confidence born of his recent knockout of Paul Berlen- bach, says he will put Sharkey defin itely out of the running as a chal lenger for Gene Tunney's title next September. Sharkey thinks as Ma- loney did on the eve of his battle—that no good little man can whip a good big man. The conqueror of Harry Wills ex- pects to scale 190, McTigue 170, for the tilt. Both clalm they will win by a knockout within eight rounds. The odds today were 9 to 5 and 2 to 1 on Sharkey to win, with little in. terest shown. It seemed improbable, commissioners sald, that wagers would approach the $500,000 total said to have been bet on the Maloney-Delaney match. Fights Last Night By the Associated Press.
