Fish Gagers Split Two Over Weekend Ndw York, Feb. 2. 6’Pt—The uni que cost /of Pittsburg's $100,000 schoolboy pitcher has provoked a protest from the St. Louis Card inals and smouldering resentment in o(her quarters. I O^ner Fred Saigh of the Cards pqlled no punches. He said he was going straight to Commissioner /A. B. Chandler with a claim that Pittsburgh’s signing of 18-year- old Paul Tettit of Los Angeles was “an outrageous violation”: of the high school rule. Pittsburgh didn’t sign Pettit un til Tuesday after the young South paw graduated from high school.

Miksch had missed two days of workout because of a sprained ankle and played the en tire game with taped ankle. Eliedge Tops Cubs Roland Eliedge of the Cubs, who scores! 13 points although he was only la substitute, paced the Cubs to their sixth victory in this af fray.; Derrell Davis of the Cubs also proved i to be one of the bet ter players on tha court. The Fish seamed slow and slug gish throughout the entire game, making bad passes and missing too large a number of free shots. Al though Max Montegut and Joe Gullege played a hard offensive game, their defensive power was decidedly under par. still was in high school. No base ball club is permitted to approach a boy still in school. Of course, it can not stop a movie producer, agent or any other non-baseball man from carrying on his own business.
