CUB CHANCES DEPENDENT ON

BY Mark Shields

CHdln is no stronger Lldl us
weakest link, and ball club is no
stronger than its weakest position.
Which is another way of saying
the Cubs are in bad straits for catch
ing material and win have to limp
along in the National league process
sion unless unexpected marvels de-
velop during the spring training trip.
Art Wilson is the only backstop
with experience. He reached camp
yesterday, but it will be few days
before he is able to undertake hard
work. He is behind in his condition
ing and must catch up with the peo-
pie who have been trying out since
the first day. -.
To help Wilson with the work
Manager Mitchell has DiIhoefer and
Elliott. Benton, the University of
Michigan man, lis not ready for big
league company or even fora job in
the higher clas minor leagues. Ell
lott had a little experience in the Ma
tional last season. Dilhoefer, with
Milwaukee, worked comparatively
few games.
with me exception OF wilson the
staff is green, probably the greenest
combination that ever started the
season with a big league club. Of
course, these youngsters may de-
velop into phenems, but that is a
long shot.
Ray SchaIk, now hailed as the
crack catcher of baseball, was not a
regular during his first season on the
South Side, and it is a long time since
such a fine prospect came to the ma
jors. Playing in the big leagues is
far different from the minors, and
the catching department is the most
responsible of the entire works.
Il is a job that requires high me-
chanicaI ability and mental agility.
i catcher must know opposing bats
aul in order to- call for the proper
