Steve’s Chance ■ By NBA Service NEW YORK, Jan. 3,—Wally Sc hang, star catcher of the New York Yankees, cannot catch spltball pitchers.

BROOKLYN STANDS PAT ; ON RUNNERS-UP OF 1924 Followers of Robins Believe Team Has Good Chance This Season —Depend on Star Moundsmeri. This la one of a serin* ol midwinter “dope” storiee on the change* and chances ol the major league baseball teams. By PAUL W. WHITE United Press Staff Correspondent BROOKLYN, N. Y., Jan. 3.—There are baseball fans with whom it is possible to argue concerning the outcome of the 1925 pennant chase, but none of them live in Brooklyn. For in this enterprising borough let it be stated emphatically “there is nothing to it but the Robins.’'

In vain you say that the infield is not a defensive bulwark; that Zach Wheat and Jacques Fournier, premier sluggers of the team, Are by no means youngsters; that “Dazzy” Vance, ace of the hurling staff, may ruin his arm by his practice of continually bearing down. The habitue of Ebbets field Is unimpressed. The Athletes, under the wing of Wilbert Robinson, were the sensation of the senior circuit during the past season. Accorded little chance of attaining a first division berth, they surprised all of the critics by hanging around among the leaders the greater part of the summer, finally giving the Giants the scare of their lives and winding up in second place. Vance Responsible This showing was largely made possible by the mound work of the incomparable Vance, who during the season struck out 252 men and brought home victory after victory, Burleigh Grimes also was effective on the hilltop and In the closing month of the campaign obtained from St. Louis, and "Rube” Ehrhardt, minor leaguer, ran up an imposing string of wins. It is in this pitching staff that the Dodgers are basing their hones *or this year’s drive. Guy Cantrell, from the Okmulgee club of the Western Association, is expected to in-

By COACH SAM BARRY University of lowa mN the present basketball game as it is played today, one of the biggest problems for the coach and the player is to outwit the opponent or in some way free a player in the scoring zone so he may have an open shot for the basket. For Instance, A Is out of bounds In his own territory, C would line up practically opposite to A and a Tittle back, perhaps eight or ten feet from the sideline. B would line up beside' S, with a distance I of about four feet between players. D, the floor guard, takes a position about 15 feet behind B and C. On a given signal B would make one step toward C, C would reverse, break behind B, as the arrow indicates. C’s guard, H, wduld be compelled to run behind B in order to cover C. Therefore C would be free on a direct pass j from A for a shot near the teisket.

WANTED: SLUGGING OUTFIELDER-MACK Connie After Hard-Hitting Gardener for Athletics, Bv VBA Service PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.—Despite the fact that Connie Mack has been the busiest manager In the majors since the close of the season, it is hinted that he Is not yet through. In securing “Lefty" Groves from Baltimore and Catcher Cochrane from Portland, the Athletics purchased the costliest rookie battery in the history of the game.
