SCOUTS At TER
LEFT-HANDER
FORCUBS

Cub scouts are trying to dig up a
left-handed pitcher for Bill Killefer's
hustling Chicago outfit. Now that
the Cubs have demonstrated that
they have a good fighting chance,
the club has concluded that a
southpaw pitcher is practically a
necessity. Alexander, Aldri c h ,
Keen, Jacobs and Kaufman. who
have shouldered practically the en-
tire Cub pitching burden, are all
right-handers.
Last year Chicago thought It had
a coming left-hander In Nick Dunno.
witch, one of the twirling stars of
the Pacific Coast League in 1922,
but Nick fizzled badly in the big
leagues. He won the reputation of
being the most handsome rookie of
the year, but looks don't win ball
games.
While the Cubs are suffering now
for the lack Of a capable left
handler. it is interesting to recall
that when they won their last
championship in the war year of
1918, two sturdy ,southpaws, Jim
Vaughn and George Tyler, were
the two big Chicago winners.
This pair pitched practically the
entire 1918 worlds series against
the Red Sox, Vaughn and Tyler
each starting three games. It was
quite a left-handed series, as Ruth
pitched two of the games for the
Red Sox. The Babe enabled Bos-
ton to get an early jump on the
series by defeating Vaughn in the
first game by score Of / 10 O.

Hollecher brought fair price,

land during the war when player
values were low. Keen was a

ed personally by Killefer. Tony
Kaufman came from a small
league in Canada. Aldrich was
purchased from Indianapolis, but
was developed at Los Angeles.
Heathcote came to Chicago in a
deal for Max Flack, holdover from
the old Chicago Feds.
Grimes, F'riberg, Hartnett, Mil.
Ter, COtter and Grigsby all came
at nominal prices, none costing
over $4,000. Excluding AIexan-
der, / don't think the entire regu-
lar Cub team cost as much as
the combined prices Of Jimmy
O'ConnelI, Wayland Dean and
Jack Bentley.
All Of which speaks well for the
business acumen and baseball
sagacity of Bill Veeck, former Chi
cago baseball writer, who is presi-
dent of the Cubs. 1t also is a
plendtd tribute to the managerial
skill of Bill Killefer, who has de-
veloped this rather inexpensive
material into a high-grade team.
Under the able business policy of
Veeck, the Cubs again have re-
gained their former standing and
drawing powers i'll Chicago and on
the road. In fact, the Cubs are
drawing far better now than when
they were world champions under
Chance. Over 10000 fans paid to
see Chicago play its Decoration
Day double-header with the Reds,
the greatest crowd that ever saw a
National League game outside OF
New York.
Considering the inexpensive ma.
terial on the present Chicago Ma.
tional, the Cubs probably pay a
greater return on the amount in.
vested than any other major league
team.

Vincentini's victory over Pal

The Chilean, although credited
with the most destructive right
hand in the class, was thought
to be too inexperienced until he
scored over Moran.
At the time of their bout, Pal
was rated as the leading rival for
Leonard's crown. In fact, Pal
