METS GLEAN UP
SERIES, WINNING
FINAL FROM J.H.S,
High School Loses 21 to 23
Through Inability to
Shoot Accurately.
By defeating the Juneau High
School five Saturday night at A. I!
Hall by a poor" of 32 to 21, the Met
lakatla A. C. squad made a cle in
sweep of its series on the Channel,
winning six games in eight days.
Saturday night's game was probably
the fastest one of the series plajei
and the defeat of the local school
was largely due to the failure of its
forwards to locate the basket when
opportunities were made for them to
score.
Features of Game
The game was featured by excel
lent passing by both teams, close
checking and particularly by the
long-distance shooting by the Metla
katla team. Every man on the In
dian team scored at least one long
shot and three were made by U. At
kinson from difficult angles and on
or just outside of the 17-foot line.
It was this, combined with their own
inability to cage shots from under
neath the basket that brought abou‘
the downfall of the High School
squad.
The game was clean and free from
fouls. Not a single personal foul
was called on the local players and
but four on the Metlakatla men.
The speed of the play tended to
maite the game rough at times. Two
players were injured. Britt, Juneau's
competent center. collided with
»Vhite, local guard, and received a
painful but not serious cut over his
tight eye. The accident occurred
acven minutes before the end of the
game. Janiksela replaced him and
■ 'o splendid work. R. Atkinson, one
ot the cleverest of the visiting play
ms, hurt an ankle just before the
tad of the first half and was re
placed by T. Benson.
Lets Early Lead
Metlakatla got away to an early
lead and was never headed. From
the very outset it made long shots
for the basket with almost discour
aging frequency. Checked under thp
goal, it would pass the ball out and
away and take and score on long
shots. At the end or the fir.^t half,
the score stood 111 to 10.
Juneau came back in the second
with an evident determination to
'win and crept up to within three
points of the Mots. The latter, how
ever, again began scoring on long
shots and con'd not be headed.
Metlakatla scored IS and Juneau 11
points in the second half.
The Mets put up the best game of
the series Saturday night. H. At
kinson was high man in scoring, with
12 points, followed by 11. Atkinson
with eight, Britt, high for Juneau,
was third with seven, Barrager, run
nerup to Britt, got six. He, how
ever, missed many baskets through
over-eagerness. Scataglini, who fall
ed to score in the first half, settled
down near the end of the game and
caged two. He was excited and over
anxious and did not rpcover his poise
until too Ute to be as effective a
he knows how to be. White played
a splendid floor game, was strong on
the ’defense, quick and accurate in
his passing but showed an inclln
ation to buck the line and run with
the bail. Ho and Britt, howev.-t
showed up best of the school five
Orms was good on the defensive bu
ll is passing was wild and futile, los
Ing the ball many times for hi.
team. This, however, seemed to b
the result of inexperience and natur
al excitement in going against sc
strong a team as the Mets and shoul.
-be overcome without difficulty. Jan
iksela, who got in for but a few
minutes, showed up better than evei
before. He kept his head. and. a I
though not so rangy as Britt wlioir
he succeeded at center, got the tip
off consistently.
The visiting players, who left yes
terday for Metlakahtla, praised high
ly their treatment tv local fans and
teams. Manager Hudson, before leav
ing, said: We lvd broil told before
we came here that it would be im
.'cssit’.e to get impartial treatment
in games on the Channel. Wo have
found thi3 is not so. Wo have been
w I satisfied with our treatment and
the sportsmanship of players and
officials in the games we played. 1
would Ike to m ition particularly
the work of Referee Sperling in Sat
urday night's game. He saw every
thing and called it quickly and im
partially." Referees in other games,
he added, had 'been just as impartial
and fair in their decisions but did
not follow the play as closely as Mr.
Sperling.
“If Juneau High will settle down,
it will be a hard team to beat. “It
doesn't know when it is beaten." de
clared Hudson, other members of
the Mets expressing a similar opinion,
adding that it showed teamwork as
consistent as that of any squad the
Mets had played in the series.

MARTY M’MANUS
WAS MOST TIMELY
HITTER LAST YEAR
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 22—When is a;
batting average of .31,2 more valuable '
than the league’s highest percentage
of .419
Marty McManus of the FI: owns
will lie able to dispute with George
Sisler as to what Is what in valu
able hitting points following the 1922
season.
There was Sisler pacing the en
tire field with his .420 average
Down many pegs is found McManus
with his .312 mark.
Yet McManus, with his 312 butt pr:
average, drove in more runs for the]
3t. Louis Browns last season lit'
Siaiti with a mark of .419. The h,\
ting of McManus was responsible
109 tuns; Sisler, .105.
And don't forget that they pay off
officially on the number of runs
scored, not the base hits.
McManus developed into a brilliant
ball player last season. His value
at the pilate Is shown in comparison
with other high averages, for Cobh,
at .399. drove in only 99 runs Hell-1
mann, at .365, sent across 92. and'
Wallie F’ipp, at .329, sent 90 mates!
across the platter.
The development and discovery oT:
j McManus is another one of thosel
: ':>ng shots in baseball. He was
I plucked from the Tulsa club of tIt o
| 1920 season as a third baseman or a:
f rst baseman, in fact, anything but
a good second baseman.
The first day he put on his uniform
Manager Lee Fnbl detected a weuki
i irm. It had been injured during tiiel
| summer and was unable to control
the throws from the deep side of
third base. The following spring!
there were so many kinks around the'
right shoulder that McManus was'
withdrawn as even a substitute can
didate on rite Brown's infield.
Fob!, however, regarrf>d him as big'
, league timber, and refused to part
with him despite his poor physical1
condition. ( llts Judgment has been]
! well rewarded.

JOE KELLY, CRACK
YANKEE SCOUT, TO
JOIN CHICAGO SOX
NEW YORK, J.in. 22 - Joe Kelly,
or!(, of tlie famous old Baltimore
Orioles amt later a Big Beague man
ager, is shortly to sever his con
nection wilh tint Yankees and be
come a Scout for the Chicago Whitp
Sox. For the past six years Kelly
hus been a valuable member of the
scouting staff of the Yankees, de
voting most of bis time to inspect
ing "Ivory” in the blast and Middle
West.
It h is been sai l of Kelly that hi
greatest asset as a scout was his
conservatism. Colonel Huston,
tiring partner of the Yankee Club
is a close per- >1 friend of the
Baltimorean, and P was through him
! that Kelly formed his connection,
here.
••Kelly.” Colonel Huston said, "ii.t
touted us off more dead ones than
he has dug up Iiv ■ ones, and for
hat reason I i insider him a val
uable scout. Te his saved us lots
• f money that otherwise would have
heen thrown away "
It is (probable that Kelly l inH
h:s new connection recently at the
league meeting;; in New York when
he was seen several times in the
company of Kid (Benson, manager
