Chicago Cubs’ Infield Appears Weak With Absence of Shortstop Hollocher

Should Make Good
Showing in Race
Alexander Gives Indication of
Another Fine Season—Statz
Out of Game With In
jured Ankle.
Hi THOMAS L. CUMMISKET.
E\V YORK, April
T h • Chicago
Cubs, under the
hustling, popular
Bill KiUefer, liaTe
been steadily get
ting better. Here
Is a rlub which
may surprise
quite a number.
It will not sur
prise the observ
ing.
If Charley Hoi
locher, star short
stop, was flash
ing around In his
old position e v -
erythlng would bo pretty nire with
the Cubs. There Is no mistaking this
stubborn holdout Is greatly missed,
but he eeems to hare so riled the of
ficials that they do not rare nh.it he
does.
Another blow at present Is the In
fury to Arnold Statz, their best out
- fielder, who recently chipped a small
bona In his right ankle sliding to the
Plate In a game at Catalina Island. It
is doubtful if he will be able to start
the season.
Otherwise everything Is pleasing
with the Cubs. They are not an ar
r»y to lnvitd the conservative to any
pennant talk, but there seems plenty
of reason to expect a good showing.
And when they become more welded
and bolstered, as they are sure to do
if the rich William Wrigley can buy
real players, the Cubs will be more
formidable.
It may not be very long before the
Cubs are fighting for the flag.
Alexander Has Iliads of Stuff.
Grover Cleveland Alexander, well
called ' Alex the Great," gives ample
indication of another fine season, des
pite his long service. He has loads
of stuff and amazing cunning to face
any and all bat wielders.
Vio Aldridge, Tony Kaufman, Virg
il Cheeves, Vic Keen. Elmer Jacobs,
the Seattle star, and Nick Dumovich,
if he gets control, are others from
" horn much Is expected In hurling.
Jacobs has been showing high prom
lse generally.
The infield will be Grimes at first,
Grantham at second, Adams aj short,
>nd Friberg at third. A feature of its
work has been the Improvement of
Grantham, who appears to be more
steady In the field. His main trouble
In the past has been slow grounders.
The Jury Is said to be still out on
Turgeon aa a reserve man, while Cot
i"r and Elliott are fighting it out to
be the understudy of Grimes. Grimes
l as been ailing In the past, and Kille
fer wants a substitute around, In case
the old trouble comes back.
Outfield Needs Bolstering.
The outfield will have Statz, Hack
Miller, Heathcote as regulars. Callag
•'an, Grisby and Murray are the re
serves. The outfield could stand bol
stering. particularly as regards field
ing capabilities.
The catching will be finely handled
by Hartnett and Farrell, who are no
weaklings at the plate. Killefer was
fortunate In coming across two such
capable catchers when he stepped out
of harness. A chap named Churry
has also been getting a chance to
show what he can do.
The Cuba have splendid morale, and
alw-aye are all eagerness to give their
i’«et for Killefer. If Hollocher was
back in the field and of the same
spirit, the Cuba would rat# much
stronger. A hole at short Is wicked

A City Commissioner should possess highly developed busi
ness ability, be a man with big business ideas, and be able to
distinguish between details and worth-while matters. The
operations of a City Government are numerous and usually
very vital. A good business man will not let potty detail*
overshadow the real points at issue- A City Commissioner
should know that he cannot perform his duties well unless he
employs men under him who aro expert* in their lines. In
brief, a good business manager will make a good City Com
missioner.
A City Commissioner must be a man of integrity. It is a
well-known fact that a spring cannot risa higher than its
source and it is equally true that a Commissioner’s department
will not be any more efficient than the mah at the head. If
he believes and practices honest and faithful performance of
duty, strict adherence to business principles, the men under
him will follow his example or look for another job
Mr. T. F. Stroud possesses these character qualities. He
bus lived in Omaha most of his life, made a success of his
I.ittle Ked Wagon Business, and retired a few years ago to
become County Commissioner. Being an energetic men he
desirea to spend the riper years of hia life serving the com
munity which has given him a livelihood.
W'e recommend Mr. Stroud for City Commissioner be
cause we know he will devote hi* entire time end energy te
the City and will do hi* utmost to substitute business prin
ciples for mere talk.
