WHITE. Hockey "as she should be played" most likely will be Du-quesne Garden's offering to local ice fans during Christmas week or at least, judging by the caliber of the opponents booked for the local sextet, there ought to be something worth while going out of the way to see at the big Oakland rink. First of all, and most important, too, comes that rip-snprtin' hockey playin' outfit from Cleveland, to pry off the local lid in the United States Amateur Hockey League Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Then, right on top of these engagements comes the Toronto. University team, composed of college boys, sionally it develops that one or two of the good things have slipped through the opening and been gathered up by one of the children for whom these gifts were not intended.

Such incidents are not unknown ii baseball, as can be verified by Barney Dreyfuss, for' in at least a couple of instances prize packages that were expected to nestle in the Pirate sock dropped out and went into other hands. One of the lads who was supposed to belong to Bill MeKeeh- A MfP MH?

These are two excellent prospects dug (up from the Mississippi Valley circuit, and while of the Pittsburgh stocking this time wag Frank Leach, if you please. Frank Leach Is 24 years old, stands five feet, ten inches tall, and bats left-handed, but throws right.

He is a native of Idaho, the home state of Chick Fraser, chief of the Corsair scouts. Chick got his eye on this youth and saw earmarks of a future star and he advised the Pirate owner to make effort to grab him from the Mississippi Valley league. An understanding was Quickly reached, by which the Pirates were to get first call for the services of the youngster. PMt Masons have managed to give too locals a pretty good idea of how -ic hockey should be played. will be the first time In many moons that Pittsburgh has had four hockey frames In one week, and more letter la added to this when the class of.

It has 'been the case, generally, that the class has always been on vy With Cleveland and local fans have been forced to watch the Forest Ctty clan romping with all the glory- A Different Story.

fiowevw, the story is going to be somewhat different this yar. if the cjasa shown toy the locals to date may be taken as a criterion. Hockey critics' are united in saying that Pittsburgh this season has one of the best combinations that has appeared on the leo anywhere in many years. And since Cleveland, with a team that has in- va.ria.biy been on top of the head, is sending its regular combination aiong, player who have been together for so an English lord, because there isn't much more to do. Manager Manners and Captain Drury have certainly coached the players well, and the opposing players thus far have made as much progress toward the local net as they might make against a concrete wall.

Far down the ice. rijht at their own net, opposing players meet their first opposition, for it apparently is the policy of the Garden coaches not to allow the enemy stars to get a start. Then, in event they do manage to get away there, they must meet Paddy in mid Ice, and if he doesn't succeed in turning them back, they have only to pass Drurv and Fleming to get a clear shot. Last, But Not Least. And if they accomplish this much, then they must get the puck past either Bonney or Lance, as the case may toe, which every person will admit is Just about as easy as inducing Rockefeller to invest a million in a turtle farm.

Offensively, the team appears just as strong as defensively, and, once started, is as hard to stop as water oozing from a burst water pipe In winter. Just how true this is can beat be Indicated by reference to the recent game with Montagnard, when the Gar' they may not be quite ready for fast company, another season's experience In a big minor league might be sufficient to round them into valuable assets for the major games. Both reside in Etna. Robertson's Release. Some of the Eastern gossip which heralds John McGraw' as an example of personified generosity and points to1-his latest unselfish act in handing an unconditional release to Dave Robertson, might discover by looking over the records, that the boss- of the Giants had no other course to pursue.

Incidentally, the owner of the Pirates once did exactly what the New York club did for the big outfielder asked for waix-rs on him and got them. Pitts- burgh, at the same time, collected a bit of money for the player. One year ago. Robertson still was a member of the local team, but his name was placed on the discard Hat. Before he could be released it was necessary, to ask for.

waivers. This was done. Nobody in either big league claimed him. He had not reported at the training camp and it looked like nothing remained but te declare him a free agent. Slammed the Sphere.

Leach participated In 121 games for "Waterloo club this year and his cudgel was responsible for 178 safeties in 55 times at bat. He led the Mississippi Valley league with a substantial average of .383 and as evidence that he is not slow, he stole 28 bases and scored 90 runs. He made but eight errors ail season. It Is little wonder that Manager McKechnie wanted this but when ''it came to making a deal, the "Waterloo officials claimed the verbal agreement with the Pittsburgh club had been overlooked and the slugging king of the Valley circuit had beeri sold to George Stallings. The other parcel which came down the chimney and landed ip another stocking, -was a Western leaguer named Eugene Elsh.

This star outfielder was sought by several major league clubs, but the 110,000 offer from Pittsburgh made the strongest, appeal and this bid was accepted, whereupon the Chicago Americans set up a howl, claiming they had string on 'Gene, in the shape denites tallied four times In 43 seconds.

Roughness invariably plays a bis part in a Pittsburgh-Cleveland series, which is only natural when the intercity rivalry la considered, and this year's fames wfll hardly be an exception. Pittsburgh has a team that is almost new. composed of players who can rough it and stand roughing as well as the players on any team and better than most of them. so if there is any roughhouse stuff before the series ends, Cleveland most likely wfcU find willing mixers among the local skaters. The secret of beating Pittsburgh this season lies entirely in solving the: 'defense, a defense, incidentally, which is causing hockey fans to marvel.

Goal tending with Pittsburgh this season might be likened to taking tea with i the league. It would not be in the least surprising to see the pennant flying in tnis city next spring. The Toronto University dan. which Aurelia With of second pick on any player in the Herrera Touched Title Finger Tips But Never Was follows Cleveland here, is, like aU ether college athletic teams, well coached and thus capable of putting up a great game against any foe, so that Pitts-. burgh, with 'these four games in five days, faces one of the toughest tasks a hockey team can be given.

If any representative of the New York club with, Robby, one of the rules' organized baseball was ignored, for th agreement prohibits one cluV from tampering" with the player of another club. At' any rate. Robertson appears to have found some inducement to seek his release.

He telegraphed a cash offer to Pittsburgh and this was repeated to Barney Dreyfuss. who was in Memphis with the Pirates at the time. He cheerfully accepted the proposition and turned the player free. Robby instantly signed up with the Giants. McGraw asked for waivers this win- ter and got them without difficulty.

He could not sell the ovifielder to the minors, for R.bby has played 10 year GOLF SCHOOLS PLENTIFUL FOR Sioux City club's employ. Commissioner K.
