SC9I
THEME are just four players with
the Cubs who have crossed the
30-year mark. They are Alex
ander, 38; Maranvllle, 34; Cooper, 33;
and Jacobs, 32. Most of the others
are well this side of that milestone,
giving the Cubs one of the youngest
clubs that ever 1ms trotted to the
starting line—a start which will he
brimful of championship hopes. Kil
lefer believes lie has just enough vet
erans lo steady the youngsters.
SINCE Manager Kfllifer has lifted
the hail on the pitchers and has
passed the word Hint they liow
may show their wares, the |3 who are
tailing their “daily dozens" are mak
ing tlie hall perform all sorts of
antics.
Percy Jones, with the Cubs in 1922,
f.os Angeles in 1923 and Seattle last
season, brought a promising assort
ment with him to tile island. .The
Southpaw was mighty shy of control
tlnve seasons ago but lie seems to
have overcome this obstacle.
Charley Root, the pitcher the Cubs
procured from Eos Angeles, has a
movement that Is not unlike Christy
Mathewson when “Big Six” was in
his prime. He gets plenty of hop on
his fast one without wasted energy
or jerky movement.

mors to the contrary.
The famous mentors will hold

other roaches, but that his coaching
made his teams superior.
