T outfit, 39 to 14. The winners totally baffled the guards- men in the first half and ran up 27 points without much opposition, while the losers were unable to find In the second half the South Church eased up, the guardsmen found their eyes, and the scoring was more evenly dis- tributed. “Lanky” Adams, shifted to center in the South Church lineup, was ab- solutely unstoppable and ‘dropped in 9 goals from the fleld. ~Parker made four, dribbling through the entire guard team to score one of them. Kleist, Wilks, and Hitchiner also broke into the scoring, the last named sinking one from the middle of the floor for his first score of the 8eason.

Four of Them Will Be Used to Batfle Opposition | — Washington, Jan, 13.—The succes, of Southpaws Tom Zachary auu George Mogridge agalnst the Giants In the world series has caused Man ager Stanley Harrls of the champs to become a “bug” on Jeft-handers. Neither Zachary nor Mogridge are what might be called great south- paws. Both have seen thelr best days. With just ordinary stuff, abetted by great control, they made| the Giants look weak at the/bat, Taking the outcome of the world, series as his cue, Harrls intends to try to southpaw his way to another, Amerlcan league pennant, His two veterans, Zachary and Mogridge, are still with the team, In| addition he has bought Vean Gregg| from the minors and secured “Dutch” Reuther over the waiver| route from Brooklyn, Next season Harris will be able tol shoot four southpaws against the opposition. There are not many| American league clubs that like loft. handers, “A left-hander with control and| braifs, regardless of his stuft, gJ.| ways has a chance in the majors these days,” opines Harris, “That| Is why I feel that Gregg and Reuther| will help us, “With Johnson a fast-ball 5 er and Coveleskie a spitter, Wzn:'ll‘ll be able to show th» opposition a lit.| tle bit of everything in the pitching line next summer."” : 100 MUGH WORK MAKES HUDDY RUEL GET THI Washington Star Backstop Dropped 20 Pounds During Playing Washington, Jan. 13.—While Mud: dy Ruel, star catcher of the Na. tionals, is a glutton for work, Man ager Harris of the world champg realizes he must look to his catch ing department, Rbiel worked in practically every game last season. He started the season weighing 155, finished just 2 peunds lighter. While the loss of weight in no wa aflected his catching, he lacked thd strength to put a punch into his batting. This was apparent in th world series, What Washington needs is a vet.| cran catcher, capable of giving.
