CUBS IN A BATTING SLUMP
NO CHANCE FOR STICK DRILL
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields -->
Having encountered some excel
lent curve ball pitching in the exhibit
ton games on the Pacific coast, Fred
MitcheITs Cubs have forgotten the
usages and powers Of a baseball bat,
and their hitting is as light as that
of Freddie Welsh. The vaunted slug
gers seem completely bewildered,
and Wolfe, the rookie shOrtstOp, has
been a different man with the stick
since the hurlers began to twist the
pill.
Under ordinary conditions, the
manager would lay aside all other
forms of endeavor, have some Of his
own pitchers throw curve balls for
two or three hours a day, and keep
the athletes in constant drill facing
the benders. In that way the play
ers would accustOm themselves to
what they are going to see when
they hit the trail fol, the National
league pennant.
But the arrangement of the Cub
training trip for this season allows
small time for individual drill on the
part of the North Siders. They have
little time for practice except in the
games that have been carded against
the coast Ieaguers. One Of these is
on each afternoon, with a double
header now and then for good meas
Ure.
For a short time in the afternoon
before each game the Cubs get a
chance to field together, and a short
batting practice is INDUCED in. But
it never lasts long enough to do the
men any real good.
Too.many regular games are being
attempted for the good of the clubs
physical condition and morale. Some
Of the athletes are peeved at the way
they are being shunted around, es-

trOlleys and day coaches.
That peeWshness needn't cause
any great concern, for the athletes
get the de luxe habit, and their tenn
peraments are injured if everything
isn't just so. But it is unfortunate
that the club hasn't more time for
batting practice, and for drill on its
own hook. It would mean a better
conditioned aggregation for the start
of the season. 1t would mean a team
able to play better ball, and a team
in the hUmor to play better ball.
. The fact may as we'll be faced in
advance that without Larry Doyle
the Cubs are not a very good ball
team. With Doyle it will be better,
though its pennant possibilities are
hard to discover. Realizing this now
will make the blow easier to bear
later in the year.
1t isn't a team that should be in the
second division in the present Ma
tional league. It should be up with
the first three. It boasts an excellent
pitching staff, one that should be as
good as any in its circuit, especially
with Mitchell handling it. He is a
wonder worker with hUrlers and has
not been given all the credit due him
for the showing of the Boston
Braves.
The infieId should be competent
with Doyle in, but the outfeld, de-
spite the popular belief that it is
strongly protected in one or two
places, is liable to be weak in these
very spots. And the catching de-
partment is the big question mark of
the whole affair.
To overcome some of the ma
chanicaI handiCaps, teamwork is
badly needed, and the present train
ing trip is not designed to perfect CO.
operation.

How?

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Wilson IN his most recent address
to Congress said in part: 81 have again asked
the privilege Of addressing you because we
are moving through critical times, during
which il seems to me to be my duty to keep
IN close touch with the houses Of Congress,
50 that neither counsel nor action shall run
at cross purposes between us
If il is his duty 70 keep in close touch
with the houses of Congress, how in Heavens
name can he perform this duty If he allows
the Congress to adjourn for a period Of nine
months? And, furthermore. IT does seem
that the above quotation would have been
far more American had its last clause read:
so that between US we may decide upon the
most effective means TO employ in order TO
preserve intact maritime law and our trade
liberty" LONGWORTH GREEN.
