CUBS FIGURE
 IN WINNING
 OF PENNANT5
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The decision of Manager Hendricks and President Hickey of the Cardinals to keep Roger Hornsby, their brilliant young short stop, regardless of the heavy rolls of money offered in return for him, is a commendable start in big league com pany for Hendricks.
 Just why it always should be con- sidered necessary for New York and other more prosperous clubs to win penannts with material not developed by themselves is one of the baseball mysteries that still is awaiting an ex- planation. John McGraw purchased his last pennant and then showed he isn't such a whale of a manager by losing the world sI series. Charley Weeghman is now trying to buy a flag.
 Hornsby is one of the star youths of the game. Miller Huggins dug him up for St. Louis and to St Louis he belongs. If Hickey or Hendricks should decide to dispose of him St Louis fans would be rightfully indig- nant about it.
 By laying aside the idealistic prin- cipal of the thing it is a certain thing that Hornsby or some other fine in- fielder is all now wanting to turn the Cubs into a pennant machine. They may have the necessary man on the way in the person of young Hollocher, shortstop, a graduate of the same
The Cordova daily times., 1918-01-28

school which produced Bancroft and few other luminaries. It might be great mistake for Weeghman to be flirting with big league infieIders when he has such a promising youngster on the way. Obviously, an unspoiled ath- lete, ready to listen to the Mitchell idea of ball playing, he would fit in more nicely with the Cubs than some player already schooled and possessed of set notions.
 Mitchell and Weeghman now have the basis for a pennant winner. With out further tinkering the club will make a tremendous fight, but it does not look good enough to win without additions. The club is sadly in need of a third baseman and a first base man. Fred Merkle, a splendid ball player, nevertheless is growing old in the harness and can't have an overly lot of good baseball left in his system Charley Deal does not measure up to the accepted standard of big league third basemen. There was a gap at shortstop, but this may be plugged up when Hollocher joins the club No one doubts that Pete Ki1duff is capa- ble of filling at second base. Kilduff as matter of fact represents one of John McGraw's greatest mistakes. He already is a star. Trades involving him would be mistakes for Weeghman, so there is little use of considering an exchange with the little infelder involved.
 The Cubs last year played smart baseball under Fred Mitchell's tute- lage. If they play that kind of base ball next season with their new array of talent it is probable they will make the dust thick for at least six pursu- ing clubs.

This years international Live

largest array of live stock ever
gathered together. 1t is a matter for
congratulation that the United States
has been able not onlY to preserve
but augment its seed stock during
the war period. while European
herds and focks have either been
destroyed or depleted.
This seed stock is Of inestimable
value and much of il is not for sale
at any price. 1t represents the
achievement OF American and Eu
ropean breeders during many years,
both across the Atlantic and on this
hemisphere
Probability exists that part OF
these herds and focks will go to
Europe during the reconstruction
period. and the 1918 International
will AFFORD an unprecedented oppor-
tunity 10 witness the present animal
