LAST SPRING the Baccaneers ran Into considerable sickness, which e-9 rived the team of the services of one regular after another, and retarded the development of the combination which Manager McKechnie had Beared THE TEAM which sets away to a good start in a pennant race has a lg advantage, aad the followers of the Buccaneers are hopefnl that nothing will Interfere with Manager MeKechalt's hones for a dying start.

Everybody Interested In Nurmi THE COMING of Paavo Nurml, th Flying Finn, to Pittsburgh, Ma roll 27 and 28, is certain to be the biggest boost the Indoor track sport in this vicinity has received in years. NURMI HEADS the list of athletic wonders of the world, and wherever be has appeared in this country, he has drawn crowds that set new records the various cities. PITTSBURGH has always been noted for Its interest in track affairs, and has turned out some of the best athletes in the country. The psopie here are, interested in Nurml, eager to see him run feal race, and Will be given a genuine treat at the One Hundred and Svenlh Field Artillery fames at Hunt WHEN IT was brought to the notice Of the artillery office that the dates iat for their meet would probably clash with th first and second parries of the big post-season hockey series at Diiquesne Garden, one of the officers said: "I fear there is no' way we can avoid the conflict. We had to luke Nurmi when we could get him, and those are our dates.

We are first ft'lth our announcement, and If a clash Is to be averted, it looks as If the bockey folks will have to make the change. It is to ba regretted that tonfilct occurs, but it cannot be helped. Hollocher Recovers uickly CHARLEY HOLLOCHER, the Cub shortstop who wu recently placed on (he retired list, announced, the other day that his health wag restored, lfldl-Uting that he misrht try his luck In baseball once more.

In- i eluding th four coaches ind Manager Bill McKechnie, complained of strained arm and leg muscles, but th ses sion today will be as strenuous. If not more exacting, than the first two of the year.

From now on the Bueco skinner plans to push his charges rigorously. With, th possible exception of Glenn Wright, who is still somewhat weak, they will all be given plenty of work In th hope of whipping them into fair shape before the first intra-club contest. Infield nwctlc will be in augurated today and will be In addi tion to the nsual batting stunts. McKechnie said this morning that Wright would be allowed to take his own tlm getting into condition.

A bit of bunting, batting and running formed all the training prescribed for him. The same dose will be handed him until he picks up the poundage be tost through illness. rnwr came sattrday. The first battle between the reg ulars and Tanigans will be staged on Saturday. Manager McKechnie figures by that time his men will be ready, and Is anxious to put then through actual competition as soon as possible ln preparation for the tougb exhibition schedule confronting them.

In the event that Wright is unable to play Saturday, it was stated thai Cronin, the coast shortstop brought to camp by Scout Joe Devine, would fill th' berth in the regular lineup. Th chances are, however, that Wright will be started and that this youngster will substitute for hint later in the game. As in th past, veteran pitchers will do the hurling for the Regulars with youngsters on the slab for the Tanigans. Smith ond Gooch wil work behind the bat for the regulars with Knox, Spencer and Lorbeef act ing in lik capacity for the rookl team. I The ball park, which at first glanes appeared to be Just the thing for practice stunts, has been found de- fectiv in one particular.

Th skin ned portion of the diamond, it appears, was covered with loose, sandy soil instead of clay, apd although it was sprinkled It failed to pack tightly enough to withstand the thrust of players spike. IW1K1.D FAB FItOM PERFECT. Manager McKechnie and th groundkeeper spent the best part of yesterday afternoon scouting about for the proper sort of ground and after they found what they wanted had a hard time transporting it to the field. As a result the refilling Of the infield was not completed In tlm for today's session. For a time yesterday morning It appeared as If practice sessions would be suspended.

The weather was misty at 9:13 when the player were scheduled to start for th park, but soon the sun peeped through, dispersed the fog and the workout was begun an hour late. The afternoon period was curtailed because of the soreness of many of the players. It lasted about an hour. and bunting practice and the shagging of flies by the outfielders formed th burtc of yesterday's, work. As a wlndup stunt Manager McKechnie sent the whole squad around the bases in leap-frog formation.

That activity mad them all ready to call it a day. The new uniforms, which will dif fer somewhat from last year's togs, will be received when th team reaches Memphis, Treasurer 8am Dreyfuss said. The stockings instead of black and gold color combination will be red. and black. As usual, th pants and shirts will be whit for horn wear and gray for road use.

AT ANY RATE he will contest with Sparky Adams for th short field erth on the Cubs and- with Maranville alongside to coach him, if he falls own it will be his own fault. Pittinger was purchased by the Cubs from fait Lake after a successful season. He hit around .320, stole some 30 bases and had a high average as a fielder.

He can play short and second base. jrVlth the Boston Redsox in 1922 and 1023 he was seen more at second, In fact, than at short.

That he is serious about it Is evidenced by tb fact that he asked tb promoters to secure Gottlieb of Syracuse university to oppose hint in one of his local races, if ther is one man In this country that Nurmi wants to humble, it is Gottlieb, for the latter defeated him in th east not long ago In a handicap affair, the Syracusan being given a start that the Flying Finn found it. impossible to overcome. Nurmi has admitted freely that does aoi try for new reconls In every race that he runs. That would be asking too much of a man who Is tit competition practically every other day or so.

However, In Pittsburgh he evidently Intends to let himself out and show the fans Just how fast he can go. This is entirely to th liking of the fans, who hav been very eager to see the wonder man in action, and who are equally anxious to see him going at his very best clip. A special track is being constructed at the Hunt armory for the games in which Nurmi will appear. It will be a dirt course, 10 laps to the mile, with specially prepared curves permit th facteet possible time, in the hope that not only Nurml, but also some of the other speeders who will compete in the games may be provided with an incentive to cut loose and smash some existing marks. BIG JUNIOR GAME DOWNTOWN TONIGHT One of the very big games in Pittsburgh Junior basketball circles takes place tonight at Trinity church, downtown, when the Mangans of th Southside oppose Paul Graham's Trinity Choir team.

The Mangans, with 27 victories and tWo-defeats, and th Choir Boys with 32 victories and flv defeats employ two vastly different styles of basketball. On all pre-gam fact and theory, the Mangans hav th edge. They have gone out of their class time after time to conquer. In the six years of Trinity Choir basketball and in the four year3 of Siangan basketball this is the occasion of th first meeting ef these leading Junior teams. In order that the game may be faultlessly handled.

Managers Paska and Born agreed on two officials Sam Hazin, referee, and Dan Brickler, umpire. Both are very capable men and members of the Western Pennsylvania Basketball Officials' association. The gam will start at 8:15 in order to allow Brickley time to be at th Coffey elub game which is refer. BASEBALL MEETINGS SCHEDULED THIS WEEK.

I have watcn-d Bill Klm, BUI IMneen and "Happy Henry" O'Day on spring training trips and have ytt to one of them more than obstrv th civilities to th players around them. However, Heydler speak for a big ger, better and less acrimonious fu ture, and his idea, therefore. Is not without merit. If umpire In spring training camps cause rumors be, placed in circulation, then let th umpires spend their late winters elsewhere. That, at any rale, will be UeydJers suggestion to them "There are certain reasons why I consider this to be a good thing," added.

"After some of the things that baseball has gone through late ly we must be especially careful When a close decision goes against a team and it is rendered by an umpire who was south with th opposing team, it Is possible that insinuations might be made that the official is helping the club he grew intimat with on the training trip. Of course, such charges are silly, but we hav too much -of balf-kidding inuehdoes in baseball, and for my part, want to stop any such talk by removing the cause." DUKES AND JUNIATA WILL PLAY TONIGHT Juniata will send its basketball representatives here tomorrow for a meeting with Duquesna and Friday at Beaver Falls the Dukes will conclude their campaign with a clash with Geneva. Little is known of th strength of Juniata, but Coach Da-vies Is hot going to take any chances and will start his strongest lineup against the invaders. Friday's af fair with Geneva la an important clash as the championship of the trl-state conference may be decided. It will be remembered that Du- quesne owes Juniata aHrlmming, for last summer the Huntingdon school baseball nine came here and trounced the Duke team.

The Dukes hope to be able to repay the visitors here tomorrow night. Besides, Davles wants to keep his men pitched up for the final clash at Beaver Falls, and believes that by winning tomor row th squad will be just right for the Covenanters. In vlw of th great rivalry between Duquesne and Geneva and because chaSrnpionshlp may be decided, a special train will take Du quesne rooters to Bearer Falls. The Dukes by overcoming a big lead defeated Geneva her early in the season and according to reports from Beaver Falls the Covenanters hop to reverse the decision Friday. Herbert Simpson and William Gels-singer to swim on the relay team, and it will take a speedy quartet to beat them at that distance.

Th Plnnish-Ameriean Athletld jlub, which was to have shown Xurml in real effort in his final appearand of the Indoor season, has tufned over to the Knights of Columbus the agreement of the Finn star to start against anyone who wants test him I two races. Kurml wants to run 6.000 meters against Willie Kitola, which IS said to be Ritola's pet distance, and he also wants to run a mile against Itay, uioya nam and Leo Larrive. Hahn, it will be recalled, recently broke Nurml's Indoor record for the mile The Finnish-American A. c. staged meet earlier In the season when Nurmi made his debut and the officials of the club had planned to put en another meet in the nature of a farewell for the season.

So much criticism waa beard, haw- ver, that it was decided not only to urn over the data reserved 1ft Madt. soft Square Garden to the Knights of Columbus, but also to surrender the program that had been mere have been stories circulated that Nurmi was afraid of Kitol and that he wasn't eager to try ft rrille against Hahn or Ry. Those stories are foolish. There Is no doubt that ftitola Is a wonderful runner. He is one of the greatest in the Word, but he is not stich a marvelous runner when he Is in a race against Nurml.

rnis fits been shown to be true too many times. With the exception of iiia first competition here, when he let himself out slightly, Nurml never ias exerted himself and when hs does the spectators are going to see peed that they never dreamed of.

Heydler, president of the National league, intends to put the crusher on the annual junket whereby his umpires go soutb With various clubs for the duration of the training trip. Heydler sees no material wrong in the transaction; it is merely that he wishes to leave no axis upon which idle tongues may "There Is probably not th slight est barm in the close association of an umpire and members of a ball club, but I consider It detrimental to the -morale of the umpires corps," Heydler said recently. "During tn regular season we keep the umpires and players strictly and studiously apart when they are not on the ball field. On training trip the umpires Stop at the lane hotel with tb play ers, ride on the same Pullmans and often participate in the general social lif of th ball club with which tbey travel. This is a condition.

while harmless in itself, might have unfortunate results."
