BOWLING
BY PAUL PURMAN.

with strong competition from two
pr three other clubs, National
League ball team can usually figure on
winning a pennant with about % games
On the right side OF the ledger. Pen
nants have been won with less vic
tories than this during the season, but
that is q fair average under normal CON
1tlons.
It is upon this basis that Fred Nit
chell Is expecting to win with the reju-
Venated Cubs this year, and he expects
10 do Il through the medium Of his
three big pitchers, Alexander, Tyler
and Vaughn
Mitchell was with George Stallings at
Boston IN 1914. He had charge OF the
Braves pitching stan and on him rested
The responsibility OF the great drive Of
Rudolph, James and Tyler. which
brought a pennant to Boston.
A similar campaign is being planned
Tor the Cubs this season. Mitchell be-
iieves he can start his three aces work
Ing rotation late in July and drive them
through the field.
The Chicago management is figuring
Alexander for 30 victories this season.
Vaughan for at least % and Tyler for
about 20 There is a total OF IS games.
Tom Seaton. Phil Douglas, Nick Carter.
Vic Aldrich and Claude Hendrix will
be relied on to win the other 20 With
q fairly strong team behind him and
che smart catching Of Bill Killefer,
Douglas should be good FOR almost that
many himself
OF course this is theoretical baseball.
Plans made in the spring are apt to go
tunbling before midsummer rolls
sround. Perhaps Mitchelrs aces. or
even one OF them won't repeat-then
The plan is upset.
Now you have the plan, let us see
what Mitchell has from a purely me-
ehanical standpoint
He has the two greatest right hand
ed pitchers in the league and one OF the
best southpaws His second string out
at is as good or a little better than the
average. His pitching staff, all IN all,
is fully as good as the Giant mound
OUTFIT.
IN Kiliefer he has the best catcher in
the league, a receiver strong enough 70
be IN & great majority of the games
When killefer is out the smart young
ster, Kowdy Elliott will be behind the
bat
The nfleld is fair, but nothing TO
rave about Fred Merkle Is at flrst
Merklc has been IN the game for many
years and is somewhat slowed up. But
at that there are few initial saokers in
the league who have anything on Mer-
kle.
The second base combination may be
. sensation or II may be mediocre. Il
depends entirely upon Mitchell's abil-
ily TO get major league baseball out OF
a pair Of youngsters. Kilduff at second
and Hollocher at short. Kilduff prom
ises to be a wonderful inhelder and is
a long clean hitter. HoIlocher was on,

low FOR an outfeld. Defensively, Il is
one OF the best In the league, which
partially offsets its lack Of offensive
strength.
There is one other element on the
Cubs which should not be forgotten
Here is a club which Will not be upset
by trifes nor break in a drive. The
Cubs are, perhaps. not the money

were, but they are a steady team that

Well Mr.. Manager, have you decided
about getting Foster TO tNvirl for you {?
Foster Is in pretty good condition and

this summer.
And again, what's the trouble with
Finn? Has ihe Mighty Marvel Of the

The manager OF the locals Is con-
templating using a Mlddletown pitcher
this year. Well. well, did you know
that most local pitching phenoms are
very much like local teams when they
try 10 compete with fast ones
Manager Segelken says that the new
pitcher is as great as Finn ever was.
All right, Mr., Manager 10 doesn't cost
anything 10 dream. just wait until the
season opens and you'll learn a thing or
two.
Local heavy hitters arc progressing
nicely in their practice. They are
knocking four balls out Of the lot every
day-all foul.
Reports have it that Fairy Johnson
will be out for the nine this year.
This bit Of news IS received here with
great JOY as It is remembered that John
son almost caught ball once last year.

NEW YORK, April iO.--Somo high
class boxers are quite likely TO be out
OF some hlgh-class Jobs before very
long-and they may be I'm the position
OF the man who did his work so we'll
and fast that he simply worked himself
right out OF a Job.
Those boxers who have been giving
their time TO the army by serving as
boxing instructors at the various army
cantOnments have developed some ex-
cellent boxers among their pupils.
Nothing could be more natural than
that some Of these pupils would be
designated boxing instructors, and that
they gradually will assume the full
duties Of the civilian instructor, serv-
Ing at the same tome as enlisted men
In Uncle Sans forces.
Boxing has became so popular IN the
army that the natural result Ia going
TO be race Of highly developed fight
ers when the war Is over. Every man
knows how TO box. He has had the
benefit OF expert instruction. not only
in how 10 hit and block, but In how
to move his feet, how 10 take a punch,
and how 10 feint and smash sway at
the proper moment. Some Of the boxers
have developed their pupils to such an
extent that the scholars have become
almost, II not quite. as good men as
those from whom they learned the
game.
This certalny is as It should be Box
ing Is the art Of self-defense. Many
battles will be decided on the results
OF hand-to-hand fighting that viii be
turned in favor Of the men who know
how to fight with their fists without
slipping behind the foes back to ac-
oompllsh the work And that's what
they're learning in the contonments.
Whether civilian instructors or army
men have charge OF the instruction,
