PASADENA, Cal, March 23.--The war
has wrought q wonderful change in the
training tactics of the Chicago Cubs, who
have been getting into fine shape here
and over at Avalon, Catalina Island.
A few years ago it used to be the GUS
tom in some training camps-and the
Cubs quarters, 1t is said, was no excep-
tion-for the veterans to haze the ''rook-
les" and make life generally miserable
for the newcomers for several weeks.
1t seems that the older players believed
the youngsters should be made to regard
the ones at the top of the ladder with
considerable awe.
This year an entirely different spirit
prevails in the Cubs camp.
Imagine, If you can. you faithful fans,
the sight Of Big Jim" Vaughn or Alex =
ander, 1.-THE great" together with "Bin'
Killifer, the star catcher, struggling pa
tiently with a "roOkie" pitcher for hours
at a time to show him the inside stuff''
that famous moundsmen are supposed to
acquire only after years on the slab. But
that's what happened at Catalina Island
and Is happening here.
And where, you may be thinking, does
the war come in?
Well, according to John J. Evers, new
manager of the Cubs, 1t is this way.
It's Johnny who is talking
The war developed great spirit Of
comradeship | saw 1t in France among

George Welbaum, chairman of the
Chamber Of Commerce athletic committee,
today sent out Invitations to all Indian
apolis organizations interested In the
opening of the American Association sea-
son, April 13, to have representatives
attend a big booster meeting" at the
Chamber of Commerce Saturday noon.
The Chamber athletic committee has
tried to reach all clubs and business
houses in the city interested in the open
ing day celebration, and those who might
possibly have been overlooked are re
queSted to stop right in on the meeting
without the bid, because the Suggestion

minute, and those having ideas for max
ing the celebration a bigger, ciassier

It Is planned to have Mayor Charles
Jewett and other city officials attend
the meeting if possible, and indications
are that the work is going to get started
with a wonderful sprint.
The Chamber of Commerce wants to see
the entire city get down to business and
make the opening day celebration here
a much bigger thing than any other
around the 4. A. circuit which means
that 1t will have to show improvement
over that of last year, because Indian

It's Time for 'Cally'
to Talk if Title Net
Scrap Is to Be Played

The South Side Turner basketeers
stood ready today to take on the Indian,
apOlis R0es in city independent
championship tilt, or call out the moth
ball army for work on their uniforms.
The En- ROes We're not saying much, SO
it looked as though the city title aHalI
will not be staged this time.
The Turner combination toyed with the
Kurt team in a game on the \. NJ
C. A floor last night, the final count
being SO to 20 in favor of the South
Siders. After running up a 10 to lead
in the first few minutes Of play, the
Turner's slowed up to let the Federated
League champs narrow the gap aud make
the going more Interesting. The nan
score was 20 to 10.
In the second session the Kur- Te- Sch
speeded up a bit and a few long shots
by Raber and Grlggs brought the coun!
up to a ~ and % tie. The teams stayeo
neck and neck until they reached the
26-all stage, then Capt "Tubby" Stevens
gave his athletes the word and they ran
up ten points in about half as many min
utes holding their opponents sc0reless
as they went along.
The Kur Te- SEES couldn't see Hennessey
last night, and the clever Turner forward
cot away for several field goals, besides
leading the defensive work of his team.
Underwood and Hank Stevens came along
with four field goals each, while 'Fubby
Stevens hit three times from the distance
Rice and Middlesworth divided the game
at floor guard -,
Beam, Griggs and Raber were the high
point men for the losers, with Strain
playing n good defensive game.

Tommy Gibbons One
Boy Who May Make
Champ Jack Hustle
st. Paul IriShmGn ShOUS Class
in Short Go With Sdnp-
son Bird.

NEW YORK, March c3.-It's no mys-
terry why Tommy Gibbons has such a
hard time getting a fight
The leading heavyweight battlers are
just simply lodging the st. Paul boy on
a safety first" motive. The artistic
workmanship with which Gibbons dropped
Paul Sampson in the second round here
last night convinced q large crowd that
ventured down on the east side to watch
him that the brother of the famous Mike
is Just as good"
Sampson was a mighty poor opponent
to show Gibbons off at his best, but
that's the very foundation of the Irish
mans hard luck. He can't get good
fighter in the ring with him.
Right now Jack Dempsey anticipates
a long idle spell, after he gets rid of
Georges Carpenter. However, he might
find a very busy evening If he would con-
sent to give Gibbons a bout. Bill Bren-
nan demonstrated beyond doubt that
Dempsey can be hit, and II the cham
pion took some of the vicious hooks in
the short ribs that dropped Sampson four
times in less than a round and half last
night, he might go down the same way.

HOOsier Leader of
Yale Boat CreU Has
Rapid Rise to Fame
Stephen HOrd, Terre Haute
Boy, Started ROWing to Re-
cOUer From War Wound.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 23.-Ste-
phen Young Hord OF Terre Haute, Ind,
Yale's crew captain, is one of the most
unique athletic figures on the college
campus. He never rowed as prepara-
tory school student, had no idea Of try
ing for the varsity crew when he en-
tered Yale, did not attempt to row as
freshman, but toek up that branch OF
athletics in order to assist In recovering
from q wound to his hand which he re-
ceived as a fighting Yankee marine in the
Argonne in 1913.
Hord's career Is the story of the sue
cess Of pluck. AS an academy student at
Andover he was not regarded as an ath
lete He WAS lusty, typical Ameri-
can youth, very popular and a natural
leader by the force Of character.
JOINS MARINES
EARLY IN WAR
During his freshman year at Yale
America entered the world war and he
Immediately enlisted and received train
ing as a fighting marine. He reached
France in April 1913, just In time to
place himself In the path OF the final
German drive. As the Yankee troops
turned the tide Of battle in the Ar
gonne, In July. Hord received an ugly
wound from a German mGchine gun. lie
came back TO America, following the
armistice.
Returning to Yale in January, 1919,
Hord took to the gymnasium TO try
systematic exercises lot lue luu5OleS ol
his hand. He then was persuaded by
Prof Mather Abbott, Yale's crew coach
in 1918 and 1919. to try rowing as the
best exercise for his condition. lie did
not make the crew for any OF the early
races of that year, but was placed at No.
. for the Princeton and Harvard races
because OF the remarkable promise he
showed under the tutelage Of Coach Ao-
bolt. He made good as a regular oars
man and last season rowed In all the
scheduled races.
SHOWS EARLY
AS LEADER.
Hord's qualities OF leadership exhib-
tied themselves throughout the season
and he was unanimously chosen TO sue
coed Captain Churchill, both as captain
and stroke, last season. This spring he
has been placed by Coach Guy Nickalls
at No. 9, although he weighs only 175
pounds.
He has succeeded completely, through
his devotion TO his rowing, In restoring
his injured hand. Hord Is feet tall and
is % years old.

rienced. To make the way of the plodder
a little smoother and easier. That's why
the old timers of the squad are helping
the youngsters, the newcomers. Gone is
the desire for horseplay or hazing. In
stead there has come the realization that
the youngsters are going to be efficient
a whole lot sooner If they are made to
understand that baseball playing Is a
serious business and that the more they
know the better players they will be-
come"
In talks with some of the players and
others 1t was learned that the war has,
through the discipline given the athletes
year and not to merely be in good shape
When the Cubs arrived at Avalon re-
was found that most Of them had been
through some sort of work, or exercise
during the winter and practically every
one Of them was in tirtop shape within
two days after light work outs began.
In the old days many Of the men were
soft on reaching the training camp
and had to be roughened for weeks be-
fore they were in any sort OF shape
at all.
Another thing that the war is said
to have taught ball players is that OF
saving. The thrift habit is said to be
firmly fixed among the Cubs and every
man shows a tendency, according to
those Gin the know to hang onto his
earnings. All of which, according to
Evers, will help make better ball play
ers out Of those on his pay roll.
