CUBS FAVORED
BY excellent
COAST CLIMATE
Are Farther Advanced in Spring
Conditioning Than on Pre-
viOuS Trips.
c,vyrssht 1890 By Mcclure Eewspapr Syndicate

Pasadena. Calf, March Coon
trasting their experiences this
spring with those of previous train
ing trips to the Pacific coast, Chi
Cages Cubs have been uncomnonly
fortunate in the matter Ct weather,
consequently are farther advanced
than ever before at the end of
similar stay in California.
Being team composed largely
of veterans, this is a prime factor
from a spring training standpoint,
because the getaway means so much
more to the athlete around 80 than
to younger players.
In spite of the factsthat Manager
Mitchell brought a promising squad
of rockies to the coast, there has
been no indications as yet that any
of them will be able to displace
from the lineup any of the men who
finished the season Of 1919 on the
job regularly.
1t looks as if Turner Barber
would permanently crowd Dode
Paskert out Of the outfield, but that
change was in process last sum-
mer. Barber apparently is con-
fident of his ability to stick in the
garden regularly, judging by the
fact he was the last of the players
to sign his 1920 contract, and it is
not believed that fact will handi-
cap him any with the boss OF the
outfit.
Dave Robertson and Max Flack
are practically cinches for the 9TH
er outfield berths, but they prob
ably will change places during the
bid race, with Dave in right field
and Max in center. That is the ar
rangement Mitchell has been try
ing out, and he has seen no reason
for changing his plans.
Hollocher May Not Start.
On the infield it looks as if the
Cubs would start the pennant race
with their lineup of last September.
with the possible exception of HoI-
locher at short. This sensational
youngster of the last two campaigns
underwent an operation early this
month to remove a growth from
one of the tendons in his left hand.
The trouble started last fall and
made it painful for the shortstop to
catch a thrown ball or grip a bat,
but he stuck it out to the finish.
During the winter the thing ap-
parently disappeared, but as soon
as he began practice this spring
the pain returned, although Hol-
locher tried wearing a thick sponge
in his mitt. After expert examina-
ton the player was advised to have
the growth cut out, with the prom
Use, barring infection, the wound
would heal in time to let Hollocher
start the championship season.

Claude Hendrix
BY NORMAN L, BROWN.

They can can the freak delivery
And it won't do me no harm
If they just leave me the muscles
OF my good old pitchin' arm.
Such is the cheerful chant of
Claude Hendrix, Cub hurler.
Claude has been known as one of
the leading opponents of the spit
ball. He announces from the Cubs
camp that he isn't going to take
advantage of the years grace
given present users of the moist
delivery but is already working on
a new twister to substitute for the
splitter and will can the splitter as
soon as the new shoot is shooting
properly.
Says Claude: when | Joined the
Pirates in 1911 | was rated a spit
ball pitcher, but couldn't control
it. The next year with the club l
went pretty good but didn't use the
splitter to any extent" Hendrix led
the National league that year, win
ming "A and losing nine games. He
was depending mostly then on a
curve ball. 1t had a fair hook and
he could control it.
Hendrix is one of the many base
ball stars who first gained atten-
ton while a student at St. Mary's
college. He's a Kansas boy, being
born in Olathe, April Is, 1889. He
went from st. Mary's college to
Paramount college and then to the
Lincoln club. He saw service with
Cheyenne and Salina before the
Pirates grabbed him off in 1911
When the Feds were sending ennis
saries about the country with half
ton wagonloads of gold Hendrix
heard the rattle and jumped to the
outlaw league. When the Feds
blew Hendrix became a member OF
the Cubs in the consolidation OF
the Chicago clubs.
In the four years since his ar
rival in the Cub household he has
had varying degrees of success
finishing up the four seasons with
a combined total of As wins and 49
defeats. Last year he won 10 and
last IA games, holding the opposi-
ton to an average of 2.62 earned
runs per game while working over
200 innings.
