' CHICAGO CUBS
MUCH IMPROVED
BASE BALL CLUB
But Strength Is All Defensive
and Team Is, Therefore, a
Problem, Declares Ful
lerton. By HUGH S. FULLETON.
' In. military lervice, 2.
liable to aervice, 5.
Cliicago'a Cubs are one of the in
terrogation marks of base ball. It is
a team very strong in pitchers, much
strengthened in catching,' which was
the weakest department of last sea
son, much better in the outfield and
with problematic infield, which cer
tainly will n6t be worse than it was
last season.
The team has one of the best man
agers in the business. It is a small
club. It has great defensive strength.
It is a team that could average a lit
tle above three runs a game, and one
that has the pitchers who should be
able to restrict the activities of their
opponents to even less.
The team is a defensive ball club
par excellence, without much drive,
without the punch and relying strictly
upon pitching and defensive work to
win. ;,.
Further, it is a team that has been
rather cunningly constructed by Fred
Mitchell, a nast master in the art of
defensive play. Me has pointed his
ball club to beat two teams New
York and Cincinnati, both teams that
Van outhit his own. He has framed
a defense that can or should hold the
two leaders, and which will have a
hard time beating clubs much weaker
than Cincinnati and New York,
Too Many Owners.
But the ball-playing end of the Chi
cago club is one of (he least of the
. worries. Here is a team with almost
as many "owners" as it has players.
It is owned by men who are base ball
cranks. It is owned by men who, in
the main, know base ball from the
box seats. The contest is not between
the Cubs and the other club of the
league, but between Manager Mitcnel
and his men and the owners.
If some one can persuade Messrs
x Lasker, Walker, Schuettlef. Weegh
man et al. to go fishing up in north
' ern Canada out of reach of the tele
graph and stay unty uctooer. tnis
team will run one two three with a
corkinir chance of winning a cham
pionship. If they stay in Chicago the
Cubs will be luckv to finish fifth and
'way make it siyth or seventh for
good measure.
The olayinn strength of the team
teally counts very little unless other.
conditions are adjusted. 4 here is a
' fetid on between the owners and the
players on the part of the players at
least. The players openly resent the
interference with their affairs by men
hty know do not know much about
the game. Last season stockholders
stood in the area way and "bawled
out" players for their mistakes. The
result was bitter feeling. In fact,
twice ,L was called upon to act asj
intermediary to prevent one piayer
from "busting an owner on the nose."
; . Scorched in Pocket.
The stockholders, having been
scorched in Docket and burned in
nrint. may be less likely to interfere
this season than last, but the owner
ship is a big problem. During the
winter the club has indulged in a dis
criictinor line of ehean nublicitv which
lias soured many of the fans. The ad
vertising that the dub was willing to
spend a quarter of a million dollars
for new players did not fit well with
ttie tact tnat nan or more or tne piay
crs received contracts calling for re
duced salaries. Ball players are queer
animals. They figure in odd ways
But when alJellow drawing $5,500 i
year reads inHhe paper that the club
:s willing to pay a fortune for a new
player and then gets notice that his
salary is cut to $3,500, it is drilled
into Ms head that the management
thinks he is a second-rater and not
worth half as much as is some fellow
, lie can beat playing, but who hap
pens to be on another -club.
Besides that, it is reported that the
contracts were sent out without even
"salve letter accompanying them
" dimply a contract with cold figures
and no explanation.
"" These things all have effect upon
teams and will have on the Chicago
v team beyond any ooubt.
Please don't get the idea from this
that the Chicago owners are a tern
ble bunch. Fact is they are a crowd
of good fellows who have been fans
for vears ' tome of them have been
wild eyed fans. The point is: Would
a bunch of 4ialf a7 dozen front row
fans at anr cime make .successful
managers? .- No one . disputes their
right to run the club they own and
in spite of critics, owners have some
rights. The thing they do not. appear
to realize is that a ball player would
take advice ,or' orders or criticism
from a stranger in the left field
bleachers rather than from an owner,
- Besides that the Chicago owners deny
with all earnestness any interference
with or dictation , to Mitchell. Some
.of thera'are indignant when accused.
Last summer one bawled me out for
. saying he was hampering Mitchell,
declared he never had said a word to
a player that season and. inside of 20
minutes, ne siuppcu yiajti
from the club house and told mm
what he should have done in the
fctnie. He was honest. He merely
didn't understand. Nor did the play
ers understand.
Last vear Mitchell took a btincli
of tripe and make it look like char
lotte rousse for some time, proving
himself a capable and brainy manager
by his ability to keep a weak team
hustling. Tl.e Cubs had a weak and
spotty ball club working under a
handicap, yet they played a brainy,
resourceful game ot ban.
Has Better Club.
This season Mitchell has a much
better club. His chief weakness last
year was in catching,, and his pitching
staff, fairly strong even men, woricea
under a handicap all year. This sea
son Killifer. who is perhaps the best
catcher in the National, stops the gap
through which many games escaped.
His pitching staff will be the best
in the league provided it is not broken
by the draft. Of course if Alexander
is taken into the army its strengin is
much cut.
The outfield, will be good enough
for a championship team and well
fortified against accidents. But the
infield presents a big problem. It
looks as if Mitchell will open with
Merkle U first, Kilduff as second,
Hollacher at short and Deal at third.
Merkle is no longer a satisfactory first
baseman because he is wearing under
strain and cannot go the entire route.
He is all right if given rest intervals.
Rollie Zeider, one of the best utility
men in the. business, can understudy
at first verv successfully and, al
though it is not generally known,
George Tvler. the pitcher, would be
one of the best first basemen in the
country if he could be spared as a
pitcher. As a first baseman he prob
ably would hit well. He always has
been a dangerous nmmg pnener.
As to Kilduff.
Kilduff is a gritty, hustling, fiK'ng
little fellow with lots of pep and he
is dangerous as a hitter, although he
ha not shown consistency. He is
young, and New York blundeted
when it let him go. Hollacher cotres
from the coast as the highest tot'ed
uhortstOD ever sent east. If h? can
hit (and they vow he can) Mitchell's"
shortstop position is filled1. Hollacher
was touted even when playing .:mir
pro ball around St. louis as a mg
league prospect and his play in the
minors was wonderiui.
Besides these there are Zeider, who
can play any infield -position Pechous,
Lear and Wortman. a formidabl? ar-
ray of reserve talent. Wortman . a
wonderful fielder, but never Ins
shown more than symptoms of hit
ting. .
The success or failure ot the term
s largely up to the owners and to
Mitchell. It is stated that Present
Weegman intends that Mitchell shall
have entire control ana tnai any .r-rcr-ference
with the players by others
will be stopped.
Mitchell's big job will be rio-'i at
the start to smooth over the ill-f'e'inp
existing among a large number ot
players, on the salary cutting ques
tion. From what I can learn among
the players there appears to be more
resentment against the mannr.- in
which things were done than m the
actual cutting. Also some one will
have to explain why $250,000 is avail
able to buy players and non for
salaries. One player writes sarcasti
cally saying:
"He wants me to contribute about
$1,500 of that $250,000 to hire some
one to try to take my job and mine
isn't stage money."-
However. the players genciaily
realize that cut is necessary and after
the season starts the importan e of
these things dwindles.
The Cubs, briefly, are a team with
attacking power enough to average
about three runs a game, whereas the
league average is close to four in
other words Mitchell must deve'.op a
defense" almost a run game betier
than the average to win. His infield
does not appear strong enough tn do
that, so it is uo to the pitchers He
has chosen his pitching staff epe
cially to beat New York and Cif.t.n
nattr-the teams that will outhit end
outscore his club by the heaviest ir ar-

Two lop-sided games were played
Saturday on the Young Men's Chris
tian association floor. The Fremont
Young Men's Christian association
nippers scalped the local champs of
the Commercial league and the Benson-Thome
quintet played rings
around the tossers backed by Olson's
Sioux City sporting goods house. The
Nakens are said to be attempting to
secure a return game.
The evening started with promise of
some good close playing. The Fre
mont flippers were only three points
ahead of the Nakens at the close of
the first half. The second half was
easy for the visitors. Gardener starred
for the Fremont quintet, securing
seven field goals. Bromley did the
heavy work for the locals.
Sioux Outclassed.
The second game was entirely one
sided. At no time did the Sioux City
olavers have a chance to win. The
first half ended with the score 30 to
16 in favor of the local clothiers. M.
Kleosar's neat field goal shot from
down the floor was the feature of the
second period. No fouls were com
mitted by the Soo . men and Only
two by the Benson-Thornes. Burdlek.
K. Kclpsar and Hovey tqrmed tne
scoring trio.
The work of Seglin and Koran as
guards prevented the visitors from
getting a chance at the honors.
Brown, Meniftr and fearce made tne
score of scores for the sport shop.
Despite the fact that they played a
losing game they nevertheless played
a clean one. Not one foul was made
by the losers and only two by the
winners.
Last night s games were the last big
ones ot tne amateur season. ne
Wheeler Memorials will defend their
Hie as class B champs Thursday
against the Wurphy-Uid-tts, who
claim the junior honors. The M. E.

in the second game. These two games
will probably close the season, summaries:

Citizens who assembled at the
South Franklin school and at the
Henry W. Yates school Friday night
for the War Savingj meetings were
disappointed on account ot unforeseen
circumstances.
At the last moment the Board of
Education informed the committee
that the Henry W. Yates school was
not upen, but it was too late to get
the information to the people in the
neighborhood.
At the South Franklin school a
crowd assembled, but the workers
who were to sell stamps could not
get there. The speaker was present,
but on account of unavoidable cir
cumstances the team of workers with
the pledge cards and other material
failed to arrive.
