~HICAGO, Oct. 27.-How many OF
the Cub and Sox regulars Of
1913 will be back at their old
places when the bell rings next April?
That Is a question that furnishes in
teresting chatter for the fans who
hang around the radiators these chilly
evenings and discuss baseball.
The season is gone, of course. The
bali players have departed from our
midst and the magnates-wel, even
the magnates are not there these days
with the announcement OF probable
trades. etc, that always make deli
cious food for the baseball fan of the
winter But the fans in this great
city don't let the cold weather drive
away their baseball spirit They can
talk baseball just as well in the win
ter as in the summer; in fact, they
have naught TO do but talk the game
In the winter as the weather man
long since ruled that Americas great
national pastime was not to be played
regularly after October, OF course,
there are exceptions to this rule-the
globe trotting party for instance.
Yesterday we ran into couple or
Cub fans, and their one topic for con-
stop for the Cubs next season. one of
them thought that It would he impos-
sible to replace AL Bridwell, while the
other was strong for Walter Heating,
a yonngster who showed himself at
Mr. Murphy's park during couple of
games just before the final curtain
fell. Both these men are ex-Atlanta
ball PLAYERS.
Fans Are Wise Critics.
Both fans had .heir line OF talk and
argument well framed up. And when
YOU come right down TO facts and do
little thinking. YOU Will see that the
two fellows who argued over the
shortstop position OF the Evers ma
chine knew what they were talking
about. The hleacherite is often one
of the best critics.
The fans who conversed about
Brldwel and Heating picked out one
Of the few cub weak spots. A man
would be crazy TO predict that new
face would he seen at any OF the other
infleld positions on the Cub club next
season. But there is some doubt
about the 1914 shortstop.
Bridwell long has been one OF the
earnest and smartest infielders i'm the
game AIS a fighter, with the spirit
that pleases a manager especially

appears to be going backward at a

PLAY|NGSTATUS
Of ROBERTSON
UP T0M NJ GRAW
'Muggsy' Must Decide Whether
He Wants a Fleet SIugger
or Good TwirIer.
BY Damon RunvOn.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2L--Whether IA
" et-footed slugger is more
valuable than sensational
pitcher is a question that must be
determined by John j. McGraw next
spring, when he settles the playing
status of Davy Robertson.
Reports from the South at the con-
clusion of the Southern Association
campaign this year were to the effect
that Davy's left arm had recovered its
pitching cunning, and that he was
demonstrating In practice that he
could buzz the ball through with all
the speed that made him one of the
most desired youngsters of his time.
This report is confirmed by Mike
Finn. who had Davy with him on the
Mobile club. While Finn did not use
Davy as a pitcher in 1913, Mike says
that would be Robertson's steady job
were he in McGraw's place. He de-
clares Davy has astounding speed and
curves. and that in his judgment he
would be a marvel as hurler.
Robertson Sure Can Hit,
However. Davy can hit better than
800. or. at least, he hit better than
that for Finn Moreover, he is a
streak on the bases, and he can play
first base and the outfeld-a little
better first base than the outfield,
perhaps John j. McGraw would not
exactly detest a youngster who can
hit 800 in either place, although. like
any other manager, he can always
find room for a great left-handed
pitcher.
1t all depends on where Davy shows
the greatest skill. He was apparent
ly designed to be a pitcher, but then
Mike Donlin was apparently designed
for the same purpose, only to find
real fame as an outfelder
Started in Tidewater League.
Davy started his professional career
as a hprler for Elizabeth City in the
Tidewater League, where his record
caused legions of scouts TO hover over
that section of the country until the
young fellow was grabbed by the
Giants.
McGraw has been quite patient with
this lad. After signing a contract
which contained a stipulation that he
would not play football Davy went
ahead and played just one more
game, winding up with an injury 10
his shoulder that has left his final
fate in baseball way a matter of
doubt up to the present time.
He Is a wonderful all-around ath-
lete is Davy with temperament, as
well as ability. and anyone who saw
him play in the Southern League last
season does not doubt that he is
booked for a regular Job next year In
the National League
Davy did not try out his pitching
arm until along toward the close OF
the season, and then only in practice,
but from What Finn says, he has en-
tirely recov fred from his injury, and
he no longtr suffers the slightest
twinge wheel he cuts loose,

club. next spring, but it is a certainty
that he will be given every opportI-
nifty to make good. Evers likes his
looks. And John also likes the ag
gressive spirit that the youngester
showed during the short time that he
was with the Cubs.
r Evers was not the only major
league manager after young Heating.
His work down South during the past
season was of such a caiiber that he
attracted the attention of the various
major league scouts who invaded the
Southern territory. Since the fans
have started figuring that the young
ster has chance to Gust one of EVers'
regulars out of a job next spring it
would probably be a good idea to tell
a little of the youngster,
