WEEGHMAN IS PEEVED
AT SHOWING OF CUBS

Chicago, April 3-The seven straight
defeats which the Philadelphia Ma
tionals administered to the Cubs in
preseason games this year have infu-
enced President Charles Weeghman of
the Chicago National league team
to decide that the Cubs will hereafter
play no preseason games with teams
of the National league. President
Weeghman contends that the teams
have everything to lose and nothing to
gain in the early games and that de-
feat tends to weaken the losing team
in the minds Of its supporters. Presi-
dent B. B. Johnson of the American
league has announced he would advo-
cate a ban on such games between
major league teams of the same league

Missouri State Golf association TO be
held in Kansas City the week of April

not been set, but they will take place
in Kansas City.
II is thought that the nearness of

from these cities to the state tourna-
ments than II the meets were held in
St Louis. where they took place last
year. A large ST, Louis delegation is
expected.
