HUNTER AND TILDEN TO PAIR UP FOR TENNIS INVASION THIS SUMMER

IS FAVORITE Borotra Still Reigns as Choice for Indoor Champ. Bu United Press NEW YORK, March 23.—Twelve survivors from the field of 102 players which started in the first round of the national indoor tennis championships will continue play today in the quarter-final rounds. Borotra, who won a most convincing victory over Herbert L. Bowman, New York Star, is more, of a favorite to win the title which was taken to France last year by Rene Lacoste. Brugnon, Borotra’s team mate, is still in the competition, but he is in such bad physical shape that it is doubtful he will be able to last through to the final round. Dr. King and Hunter are practically certain to reach the semi-final round and Dr. King, owing to the disability of Brugnon, probably will be finalist, while Hunter will have to fight it out with Borotra in the lower half of the draw.

PIRATES DISPLAY PLENTY OF STUFF IN TRAINING Ownie Bush Restores Peace and Harmony to Pittsburgh Camp—Pennant Hopes Are High.

Bu JfEA Service , „„ PASO ROBLES, Cal., March 23. — Pennant hopes are high among the Pittsburgh Pirates this spring. With peace and harmony restored by Ownie Bush, the lads from the smoky city hope to romp home with the bunting that might have been theirs last year had it not been for internal dissension. In these spring days when every baseball writer turns prophet—most of them bad—the Pirates aren’t talking for publicaton. But they display ti world of stuff in daily workouts at the local ball park. Although greatly pleased with the way his gang Is rounding Into shape, the former Detroit shortstop, who led Indianapolis last year, is particularly silent on the future. Pittsburgh’s success depends almost entirely upon the moundsmen. The rest of the squad looks great. If the pitchers deliver, Ownie Bush should make some big league owners wish they had hung on to him. The infield will line up practically the same as in 1926 with George Grantham on first, Hal Rhyne on second, Glenn Wright at short and “Pie” Traynor holding down third. Waner, Cuyler and Barnhart will start the season as the regular fly chasers. Waiting on the bench to replace the first One who shows any signs of slackening his pace will be Adam Comorosky, young Pole who was picked up around the Pennsylvania coal mines.

up my sleeve,” Bush said. "We have a young fellow, Clyde Linton, who is one of the heaviest sluggers of the squad. He isn’t quite ready for big league catching yet, but will be by the time the season is half over.” On paper, the Pirates’ hurling staff looks as strong as any In the National League. Heading the list of mound workers is Ray Kremer, ex-San Francisco boy, who is perhaps the best pitcher in the league. Then there are Meadows, Vic Aldridge, Morrison and Yde, besides a host of youngsters, some of whom look mighty good. Joe Conroy spent four years aboard a United States battleship, but that didn’t prevent him from developing a good pitching arm. He has been forced to take light workout most of the time because of two injuries sustained in practice. Another hurler, who might almost be termed a regular, is Carmen Hill, 1926 pitching ace at Indianapolis. Hill joined the squad late last season. Several familiar faces have vanished since the close of last season —and so has a lot of trouble. MoKechnle, Clarke, Adams, Bigbee and Carey no longer have their names on the roster. Nobody here seems the least bit disheartened because they finished down In third place a year ago. That hap been forgotten and they are working like bears for the coming season. ’ . * i
