Chicago, April 12.-(special.)-vio
Safer. the Cubs veteran first sacker.
aspires to regain his lost batting hon.
ors this season and to be regarded
once more as one of the heaviest hit
ting first basemen Of his day. For
some while Safer held this honor and
though he has not starred at bat
through the past two seasons or so.
he hopes to hit as good a clip as ever
he did this coming summer.
Saier's fielding around first base has
always been high class if not brilliant.
and since joining the Cubs in 1911 he
has never failed to be a dependable
performer. But an improvement in
his hitting would add a whole lot to
his value. Manager Fred Mitchell be-
lieves tina it should be possible for
Safer to hit better this summer and
has coached him this spring with
some care and in hopes tina he will
connect with greater frequency.
Safer batted .253 last season and
though he isn't sure he will reach
300 this summer, he means to finish
more than a few points ahead Of last
seasons average. If Safer goes
through with his plans it should make
a hit with Cub fans, as the team will
probably need all the hitting it can
set.
