CUBS LIMPING TOWARD HOME
TOO MANY GAMES HURT
BY Mark Shields

by MARX 0IllelQS
Oakland trimmed the Cubs, to 2,
and San Francisco performed a sim
liar atrocity, 10 to 5, after which the
first team departed from California
for a transforming trip home. Be
tween now and the 10th of April the
team is scheduled to sleep about
three nights in regular beds, the re-
mainder Of the sleeping periods be-
ing put in on PUllmans.
All of which is destined to bring
the team to the opening game Of the
National league season in a crippled
condition. In yesterdays games Lar
Ty Doyle performed at second base,
Claude Hendrix worked in left field
and Deal was forced to lay off in the
afternoon, Wolfe taking his place at
third base.
Manager Mitchell has a hospital
list as long as the Belgian army and
there are few spaces ahead for re-
cuperation. Flack is ailing, Mann
has a bum runner and Steve Yerkes
has a gashed hand which prevents
him taking active part in the pas
time.
Phil Douglass pitched fine ball, but
Jim Vaughn, Gene Packard, Al De-
maree and AldTidge took their bumps
in large quantities, and the remain
ing members Of the cast went about
their work in a dazed manner.
Nothing better could be expected
from such a training program. That
a team as poorly conditioned as the
Cubs are at the present time should
be forced to go through a double
header at this stage of the proceed
ings is the height of stupidity, and
whoever arranged the program
should take a few days off and kick
himself across the country.
Take the case Of Doyle. He has
been ailing all during the trip be-
use of his busted ankle. Then he

are other people in worse condition
than he is, he is forced to play in an
afternoon combat also. 1t is tragic
that a man on whose ability a largo
share of the teams hope rests should
have to do double duty under such
conditions.
He was unable to run out infieId
Founders in the second game and
covered scarcely any ground around
second base. Larry, at least, had
sense to take things easy, no matter
what the schedule makers called for.
Manager Mitchell, be it known, is
much upset as he sees his team grad
uaIly disintegrating because OF
wounds, but the exhibition tour was
arranged before Mitch had any say
in the matter. Next year things may
be different.
BY the time the league season
opens the club will have played al
most a third of a seasons games,
starting almost Immediately the
Pasadena camp was reached. Such
a jaunt may be good advertising, but
it doesn't show good baseball judg-
ment. And it is even doubtful if d
combination of cripples hippOdrom-
ing around ball field in bush league
fashion is a good advertising scheme.
The name Cubs remains, but that is
about all the big league flavor the
westernsTs have tasted. They have
seen nothing resembling a major
league ball club.
In direct and praiseworthy con-
trast to the Cub program is the man
ner in which the White SOx are pre-
pairing for their season. The team is
getting just enough actual combat 10

RESERVOIR GUARDS
FIRE ON PROVIDERS
Fusillade at Water Supply of Bellows
Falls-Home Guard Called to
Ward Off Attack.

BELLOWS FALLS, July 24.-What
may have been an attempt to damage the
town water supply yesterday morning
was thwarted when one or more men
seen providing about Ainard S pond were
fired upon and put to flight by the
guards. Business men enrolled in the
home guard were called out of bed at
Iabout = a. m. as reinforeements.
An intruder was first noticed about
the pond at about midnight When lie
failed to halt upon command several
shots were fred at him without result
Again at little before a man was seen
near the gates of the pond dam. He. too
was warned away by a vollev of shots.
Convinced that an attempt was being
made to harm the water supply, the
guards called up the town trustees fo1
aid, and i men who responded were
rushed to the scene in automobiles. One
explanation of the second attempt is
that the first man may have tried TO at
| tract the guards to ono end of the pond
while the other was working at the
Istrategical point at the gates.

to Have Sold It.

Los ANGELES, July u. Deadly an
thrax germs have been discovered in
mass of court plaster sold in this city
by a one armed German peddler, who is
suspected of having disposed of the plas

Wassermann laboratories following a
preliminary examination of plaster fur
nished by the head of an establishment
where the peddler had sold much Of his
stock.

lratories, inoeulated several animals with
germs taken from the plaster. Several
days must elapse before he can deter
mine the results.
Police and federal agents, in search
| ing for the peddler, who is supposed to
have large stock of the plaster hidden
somewhere in Los Angeles, arrested sew
eral men corresponding to his deserip-
ton Reports of the sale of the plaster
have come from cities near Los Angeles
and number of arrests have been made
in those places, according to the chief OF
police.
