son for the action of the Stamford-
ites and their objection to the n‘ay-
tug of! of the tie is unknown to the
spectators of the contest. The bus-

distinctly states that if at the end

The game was a niponnd—tuck ef-
wr throughout. in the first half
the home team showed supernor
team play and were on the long 0nd
of the score at the half way mark.
13-5. Guarnitri and Captain Smithl
were the main point setters of this
ported with five points each. Cuva-l
mugh accounting for the three odd
points of the period. The most bril-i
liant shot of the contest went to Big1
George b‘mith with a beautiful back-
hand shot from it difficult angle.
The second half of the fray was
more bitterly contested than the in—
ftiel period with the Stamford com-
bine having the edge. This period
was fast with both teams showing
all the intrigues possible to emerge
the victor. The only double—dccker
registered for the Indians \vent to
"Benny” Mason. Carlson and “Tony”
Moruke swung into action for thc
Btumfordites and dropped in two
baskets each which put their team
into the lead. which advantage thcy
held until the last minute of play.
This minute. however. was probably
the most exciting one that. has ever
been played on the local court. In
this brief period of time Gavel-laugh
shot a foul. and a foul was called on
the visiting combine for stalling.
which Captain Smith missed. This
tally. if successful. would have tied
the contest then. Circumstances

PASO ROBLES.‘ Cal, March 5.—
Tlie keynote of this camp is Nie-
haus. No a. soul who is how will say
so but more furtive glances are cast
toward Nlehaus when he is ntixing
himself in a play than are turned
toward Mist bloise when a passing
breeze hovers near her vicinity and
she is not carrying Weight for style.
The Pirates have not been here
long-not even long cnouuh to set
intimately acquainted with the vary.
ing moods of the hams that are
served them at the matutinal hour.
but. they know that their future in
1325 is more or less involved in the
underpinning of this young man
who played first base for Chat-
tunooga last year and will play first
for Pittsburgh this year it the'fatcs
breathe blessings over him and do
not scourge him.
It was past the noon hours—con-
siderably past. in fact—when Nie.
haus walked to the plate to take a
long swing at the ball. The train
had Just arrived from San Francis—
co and the trail of the pilgrims had
taken its way from' the station to
the ball ground.
Niehaus as he stood waiting his
turn. made one think not a little of
Bill Ryan. the pitcher for the
Giants, who is the only pitcher who
has batted s house run in a World
Series. He carries a. well shaped
head on top of a. very fine torso and
a. well curved neck as Bill carries
his. And he looks up at‘ you with
the same kmciousiy surprised air
that Bill uses when he is spoken to.
m an” in air of gracious surprise
that swept across Bill’s face ' like
melee-es over e. flspi'eck when he
batted that home run in the World
Series.
He has a. very nice stand at the

Nichause buts right handed and
he doesn't but as if he were fanning
chair out of the wheat. but he cut:
with a. pretty slash that gives the
impression that he has been follow-
ing it all the way up and knows why
he swung at it. Batters of that type
make good in baseball and. if he
can hit and hold that position at the
what. he will make the Pittsburgh
team.
it he doesn't. Barney Dreyfuss
will shrug his shoulders and re-
mark, "\Vcll, you gotta. take your
chances in baseball like everything
else, only you gotta take 'em all of
the time."
And Sam Dreyfuss, who is here
and who has already” trained him-
self down to one size less in stock-
ings and one in his pair of sneaker
will tell everybody that the dope
was wrong stun. No one is going
to be foolish enough to say that Nie-
haus is theswallow which will make
make the Pittsburgh summer after
seeing him bat Just once. but there
has been opportunity in other scih
sons to see him bat and he did it
well. And so. if he has not lost the
line art. he should be doing it again.
