CHICAGO CUBS

Chicago, Jan. 20.-(AP)-The Chica-
go National League baseball club, the
Cubs, have turned to the Irish to re-
cover from their disastrous season OF
last year, and Owner William Wrigley
has thrown away the rubber band on
the bankroll.
The leader of the Irish invasion is
Joe Mccarthy, former manager of the
Louisville American Association team,
who will pilot the Cubs this year.
Mccarthy brought with him from
the Louisville club Maurice Shannon,
shortstop, who will fill the gap left by
the departure of Rabbit" Maranville
for Brooklyn.
Joe Kelly of Toronto, the home-run
king of the International League last
year, was McCarthy's next purchase.
He slammed the ball over the fence
for 80 round trips last year.
Jimmy Cooney, an infielder, was OBJ
tanned from st. Louis in trade for
Vic Keene, pitcher.
Howard Fitzgerald. Texas League
outfield prospect, was recalled from
Wichita Falls.
AS coach and assistant coach Nc
Carthy has obtained the services or
Jimmy Burke, former manager of the
Toledo club, and Mike Doolan, once
famous as shortstop for the Phillies.
These seven-McCarthy, Shannon.
Kelly, Cooney, Fitzgerald, Burke and
Doolan--are the majority of the new
talent infused into the Chicago North
Side club this winter in the hope of
lifting it out of the cellar.
The club today has one of the great
est arrays of young talent for outfield
berths IN it's history. There are a
dozen from whom Mccarthy may select
his regulars.
The infield list also has been length
ened by several newcomers, but new
pitchers are scarce, as the club al
ready was fairly we'll fixed in that re-
spect. There are dozen twirlers
from whom Mccarthy will select
about eight to carry through the sea-
son.
The catchers include the same old
trio, "Gabby" Hartnett. who as fell
low Celt will welcome the visiting
Irishmen; Mike Gonzales and Jack
Churry.
In short the Cubs have a wealth of
material and a new manager who
brought pennants frequently to Louis
vile in the American Association race.
The squad will make the earliest start
for the training camp station in major
league history, arriving Feb. IA at
Catalina Island off the Pacific coast.
Mccarthy has announced he will aban-
don the Notwithstanding workouts
of some of his predecessors. and ex-
poets to bring the squad slowly into
form so that they will not go stale
early in the season.

ed Mr.. Reynard.
To .hoot fox when he is running
and bounding at his highest rate of
speed followed closely by dog, GER
tainly requires prompt action. A
hunter must learn when and where
Mr.. Fox is going to circle and at what
station to meet him. Often the fox
when it is dnfavorable running will
hunt his hole and make a bold dash
for it. then a we'll trained dog will
stay at the hole and bark until his
master comes or will return and meet
him and lead him to the den.
To dig MIR. Fox out requires ex-
perience and the assistance of the
dogs, because in no other way, can
he be located in his underground
refuge, than by the keen nose of the
, dog, who will scent him out and when
he is reached pull him from the hole
,, and thoroughly shake him until he is
dead. One of these dogs has been
known to catch a fox and kill him.
The four coons in this picture were
freed by these dogs, who stayed faith
fully by until their master came and
shot them from the tree.
Since this picture was taken this
successful hunter has obtained three
more foxes and is still on the hunt
| which no doubt will last until Feb. %.

American Amateurs
To Go Abroad If
Association Approves

Boston, Jan. 20. - (AP) - Two
picked teams Of American amateur
boxers will visit Europe and South
America in the spring of this year
II recommendations offered by Will
liam H. Cuddy, chairman of the box
ing committee of the A. A. u, are
approved. The proposals will be
acted upon within 10 days at meet
ing Of the A. A. U. international
sports committee in New York.
The plan as outlined by Cuddy to-
day calls for the winners of the ma
tional boxing championships this
year and the Canadian amateur title
holders to be sent to Buenos Aires
for a big International show. The
runners-up in the national cham
p1onships will be sent to box in Den
mark, Sweden, Norway, Germany
and England.
One serious objection the national
sports body would have to meet,
Cuddy said, was the expense entailed
by the South American venture.
Sending an American team south of
the equator would be more costly
this year than last. he said, because
transportation rates have increased.

New York, Jan. 20.-(AP)-Tennis
players Of France and the United

Waterville, January 20.-Evan
Johnson, football and hockey star
will be lost to. the Colby team for the
remainder of the hockey season ac-
cording to word fro mhis physician
rms will seriously cripple the Water
vile college boys and the team may
be compelled to use an inexperienced
substitute If any of the men in the
starting lineup are injured. johnson
received bad cut in. his right leg
when he was caught by a flying
skate in a practice session a short
time ago but it was thought that he
would be able to get back into the
game before the season was well I'M
der way. His loss makes the weak
string of second team men very much
weaker and this is the teams point
OF greatest fault. Johnson has played
a great deal of hockey and was slat-
ed TO participate in the major part
o fthe games this winter and, barring
the accident might have been in the
starting lineup. He played in a de-
tense position and was an unusually
fast skater as well as having the
advantage of experimence. He was
also one of the best shots on the
team and his loss will be felt by
Coach Roundy. The Colby team lost
game last week because of the fact
that one team was forced to play the
entire game due to a deficiency of
capable substitutes and with John
son out the coach must search for
