Charlie Deal, who played third base

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-What the Cubs
will amount to in 1917 is pretty well
I'D to Fred Mitchell, the new manager.
Joe Tinker took the combined Chi
cago Feds and the old Cubs in 1916
and all the critics placed his team IL
8. They we're lucky to finish in the
league. Catcher Archer developed
fragile digitis and was of little use
The old pitchers had dead wings and q
good many of the players seemed dead
from the neck up. Joe had a tough
Job and finally gave it up.
The Cubs will leave for their train
ing camp at Pasadena, California, next
Tuesday. Several weeks will be spent
in. conditioning at this resort, which IS
the winter home of William Wrigley,
part owner of the club.
Mitchell is credited with great deal
of success attained by George Stallings
with the Boston Braves, but the most
enthusiastic follower of the club knows
he faces a Herculean task.
"The Cubs this season should be a
great improvement over last season.
for in Mitchell have one of the most
ohle leaders the country" SAID
President Weeghman today. He Is
verv progressive and constructive and
knows how to handle the players. With
the addition of AL Demaree and few
Youngsters the pitching staff VIII

country.
although l do not wish to predict
a remnant believe the Cubs will be IN

HENkLE, MAKES GOOD BOAST
TO ESCAPE FROM PRISON CAMP

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 26.-Again Ar
mold Henkle, escaped German pris-
oner, has made good his boast that no
internment camp or prison barracks
was strong enough to hold him, and
in making it good he carried with him
nine other prisoners from the barbed
wire stockade nea Fort Mcpherson
Notwithstanding the minute search
which has been made of Atlanta and
vicinity, and the complete description
of the ten German prisoners flashed
broadcast throughout the country on
the wires, not trace of them has yet
been found by the government secret
service or the police or county au-
thorities, all of whom are joining in
the man hunt,
1t is believed by l.. J. Bailey, secret
service chief in this division, that the
Germans are hiding in Atlanta, or,
perhaps, even walking the streets at
tired in citizens clothes He does not
believe they could have gone very fa!'
away from this city without attracting
attention.
Arnold Henkle, believed to have
been the leader in tunneling out of
the prison camp, was captured on the
western front and sent to a British
prison camp He escaped and made
his way to Norfolk, Va, where he wac
captured and interned. Again he es-
capped and got as far as Danville, Va,
where he was captured again and sent
to Fort Oglethorpe, near Chattanooga
There he made two attempts to escape
and once was shot in the arm by a
guard.
