oped viii be needed. This stormy win
ter league which has kept all baseball
dom quivering with expectancy and
palpitating with petulance will be re-
fiected in the regular playing season.
Out of the swirling mass the Chi
cago Cubs have come out wrecked.
The Cleveland Maps stand stripped of
several main springs i'll their pitching
apparatus due to raids of the Feds.
The Cincinnati Reds couldn't have
been made much worse, so they will
start with the same old question mark
attached to their tail. The Phillies are
minus a veteran in Knabe. Their 9th
er Federal jumpers may be tied up
in the courts after the first game. And
so it goes on down the line, a hole
here and a bruise there, and the Ma
tional league suffering from what may
not have been quite q civil war, but
badly SCARED never the less by the
upheaval brought on by the Murphy
EverS affair.
All the grudges that the players
have had against Hank O'Day as an
umpire will certainly be satisfied in
the months to come. They got even
with O'Day in measure when he be-
came manager of the Reds, but the
Job he had at that time was pipe
compared to the dizzy going ahead.
In the first place if the Cubs do not
get Sweeney from Boston all O'Day
has to do as a starter is to plug up
two gaping holes in his infeld. At best
he has one to fill. With Johnny Evers
out of it and Al Bridwell a Federal
iumpee the entire vicinity immedi-
ately adjacent to second base is de-
fenseless.
O'Day has nothing to worry about
but the establishment of a second
baseman and short stop behind his
pitchers. In addition the head of the
club has been kicked out of organized
ball and a new boss is in the saddle.
The last cog of the old smooth run
ming Cub machine has been kicked
away. Several men who served under
Chance and know that discipline, and
playing real ''inside BALI mean are
still in the outfit. but they have wit
messed the wrecking machine, are
serving under their second manager
since Chance was fired, and being old
dogs at the game may not be expect
ed to start in learning many new
tricks.
If O'Day is able to establish himself
as the real boss of this outfit anC

While Tom Sharkey has been doing
his bit of 30 days for keeping disor
