KILLEFER'S IDEA
SLOW BUT SURE
OUTLOOK GOOD
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, April TO- Severa
years ago during a minor leagu
meeting Bill Killefer was asked
why he didn't spend some of the
millions reputed to be back of the
Chicago Cubs and get himself ball
club. Killefer replied that. &c new.
er would have Il club if he had to
buy one.
1t was his theory, he said, that
the best results were to be obtained
by building and developing young
players and that, while progress
might be slow, the results were more
permanent.
Killefer is still building and he
seems to be set on an intention to
get the Cubs raft of young pitch
ers who could keep the club up for
years after it got its real start.
The Cubs finished in the first di
vision last year and they will enter
the 1924 pennant race with the same
team. The chance for landing a
higher place this year depends Upon
the Improvement in the young pitch
erS.
Charley Hollocher, shortstop, be-
came afflicted in the middle Of the
season last summer with what Off
cials of the club insisted was an
imaginary illness. 1t was believed
by them that Hollocher was trying
to work them for a transfer to an
other club and he was placed on the
retired list. Earl Adams, a young
ster, was used at short and NE did
quite well.
Grimes Much Better
The club was handicapped also by
a peculiar spinal trouble that Grip
pied Ray Grimes, the regular first
baseman. 1t was reported from the
training camp this year that he is
much better.
George Grantham, good hitter
and a flashy base runner, will play
second base again. He ism It the
fiossiest fielder in the game but he
should be improved this year. Bar.
ney Friberg, a good all around
player, will be used again at third
base.
Statz, Heathcote and Miller form
the outfield combination. Statz and
Miller give it some offensive
strength, but. it is none too strong
on the defensive.
O'Farrell and Hartnett are the
regular catchers but the sturdy and
durable O'Farrell thrives so much
on work that he will do most of the
job behind the bat.
Grover Alexander, who seems tc
be bothered little by age, leads the
pitching staff, with Aldrige, Kauff
man, Keen and Osborne as the Other
regulars.
