PITTSBURGH IS PROBLEM TEAM Manager Traynor Predicts His Pirates Will Cause Trouble '■ 1 (Editor’s note: This Is the first 1 of a series of dally stories on the 1 major league clubs in spring train- ' ing. By George Kirksey, I’P. Staff Correspondent 1 San Bernardino, Calif.. Mar. IS. ’ <U.P.) The Pittsburgh Pirates are 1 the problem team of the National league. No one knows just how ’ good, or how bad they will be 1 whether they are a first or seventh ' place club. Manager Pie Traynor, who succeeded George Gibson last .lune 22, thinks they have the ingredients ' to weld into a dangerous pennant contender. Other observers disagree with Traynor and think the I pirates are rapidly disintegrating , into a second uivisiou ball club. ‘ They finished fifth last year and have added only three of four placers of any consequence since then. The Pirates have more "ifs” than any other chib in the National league. Doubts surround the following: 1- Lloyd Waner’s health. 2- Babe Herman's ability to come back. , 3—The pitching staff. | 4 Second base, where Traynor lias five candidates. 5— Ability of the club to get by ; , with six left handed hitters in the . regular line up. 6— Whether the players will abandon their night life frivolities and adhere to Trayon’s “no drinki ing” rule. A couple of years ago Lloyd Wan- ' er was one of baseball's best outfielders but a stomach ailment and other illness has robbed him of much of his effectiveness. He is trying earnestly to make a comeback. but the odds seem to be against his regaining all of his former glory. At one time Babe Herman, ob- | tained from the Chicago Cubs last winter, was one of the hardest hitting outfielders in baseball but last , season found him hitting only .304.1 He blamed his decline partially on J the background at Wrigley Field. \ . Chicago, anti insists that he will j start murdering the ball again at Forbes Field. Pittsburgh. With > IJoyd Waner in good health and | ' Bal>e Herman hitting again to team i up with Paul Waner, National league batting champion, the Pirates would have one of the outstanding, outfields in the National league.; But at this time two thirds of this i outfield combination is a big ques-1 | tion mark. o DASKffIMWL i JwgJg | , Pasketbawl offers his sincerest ; congratulations to the Berne Bears I for their fine showing at the Butler fieldhouse in the state final tourney Friday and Saturday. 000 The Bears fought through to a 24-22 decision over Roachdale in the first round Friday afternoon hut went down to defeat before, Shelbyville (Saturday morning. 28 to 17, only after giving Shelby a great battle during most of the game. Incidentally, the Bears t looked like a team of midgets in I comparison with most of the teams playing in the tourney. 000 Bobby Oro and Jerome Steiner. Berne regulars, were given the greatest ovations of the tournament when they were taken out of the lineup j in the closing minutes of the . Saturday game. With the game hopelessly lost. Coach Erne gave every member of the squad a chance to appear on the floor, and when Dro and Steiner were removed, they were given one of the finest tributes the writer has I ever heard at the state finals. I 000 | The Anderson Indians annexed their first state championship after threatening for manv years. And their victim was Jefferson•j ville. who went to the tourney : boasting the only undefeated record of the entire season. Unlike earlier games, the Indians grabbed an early lead and maintained their ; margin throughout the contest. In j previous games, the Indians had j made a practice of coming from ' behind to enter the final tourney. 000 Anderson’s great rally in the closing minutes of the semi-final tussle with Shelbyville was without doubt the outstanding game of the entire ■ meet. With most fans conced-

Mar. 18. — Release of ten thousand Bob White quail in Indiana. inaugurating two changes in policy in the building up of native stock in these popular game birds, was announced by Virgil M. Simmone. commissioner of the department of conservation. A part of the quail being released were propagated at the Jasper-Pulaski state game farm and others w -re purchased from commercial breeders. The new policies regarding quail ate the liberation of the birds in counties whet® a preliminary survey has shown both a ecarcity of birds and plenty of food and shelter, and the release of quail in the early spring rather than the fall. A survey by Purdue university covering the number of quail in a community and the availability of food and shelter for game ' birds formed the basis on which the distribution is being made. This is the first time that quail for restocking the state and improving the blood strain of native birds have been released upon a scientific basis. I Release of the quail during the : early spring will increase the, natural propagation and will give the birds an opportunity to acclimate themselves before the coming winter months. Spring release will result in a more hardy. ' vigorous stock of quail in Indiana. In the release of the quail.
