SAME OLD CELTICS

You will see the same old jersey
and the same old play when the New
York Celtics engage Washington next
Sunday and Monday nights at the
Arcadia. The New Workers have re-
fused to discard either the familiar
faded green shirts, in which they
have appeared here before, or the

spare no effort in an attempt. to de-
cisively whip the Palace quint and
thereby annex the second-half cham
pionship Of the American Basket Ball
League.
Basket ball cynics claim the Caltics
can win when they are pleased to do
so. However, they are not invincible
and they lose games when they tackle
teams as strong as Washington Is at
present. Here's the record of the
Shamrocks since 1867, when they
broke into first-class professional
company:
1861. won SO, lost Is; 1917-1S, won

not stand in fear of the nugaboo of
injury to one of them. 1t is the Grip
pied infield which so often puts the
plans of a manager awry.
English is right-hand batter' and
a good one. Last season his forte
was knocking out three-baggers and
the first thing he did at Catalina was
to hit sharp speeding liver that
would have carried for three bags on
any mans ball yard.
Another new player for the Cubs
is Earl Webb. outfielder with the
Louisville club last year. Webb is a
product of Tennessee, feet 1 inch
in height. He can bat and he can
field. He goes back after fly ball
with certainty and he traps ground
hit accurately. He throws well and
easily and if the signs are not turned
topsy-turvy, he is likely to be play
ing left field for the Cubs when the
season begins.
Others to BE Considered.
Should Webb play left and Wilson
center. Heathcote may be iii right,
and there also are Floyd Scott, sprint
er and good batter, and John Riggs
Stephenson to be reckoned with as
well as Joe Kelly, who hits one for
Manhattan Island every time he gets
a chance. Stephenson has lost none
of his driving power. If he had the
speed of Heathcote, he would be one
of the best outfielders in base ball.
If Mccarthy has succeeded in
strengthening his team by annexation
of two players for positions of which
he was not so sure as he wished to
be, he may have put the Cubs in the
race to better advantage than others
have succeeded in doing by shifts in
their playing scheme.
If the newcomers bat 800 as they
have batted in the minors, the Cubs
are dangerous. There never will be
a time when they are easy to beat,
except in the occasional game which
breaks wrong at the start for every
base ball nine. If the newcomers
drop back about 20 points from their
minor league batting skill, Joe still
has a better team than he had be-
cause his batting strength even then
will be up to the standard.
The Cubs no longer are submis-
sive team, but have acquired the
knack of stepping into the ball and
meeting it without fear of the conse-
quences.

~ March S.--Elwood English.
a shortstop by trade, who was
/ possessed of the idea a few
weeks ago that he was a
hold-out, changed his mind and de-
cided that his immediate future was
with the Chicago Cubs. He boarded
a trans.continental train, rode for
three days. took the steamer to Cata-
lima, changed to a base ball uniform
and before he had time to marvel at
the mountain peaks and green grass,
found the perspiration trickling down
his face.
He discovered that the ball came to
him with as many battling hops and
skips as ever and he surmounted the
battles with .sprightliness that
brought a smile about the square
chin OF Joe Mccarthy, boss of this
Chicago Club. He began to throw the
han to first base from a pivot swing
so quick and timely that it widened
the smile on McCarthy's face until it
expanded upward and downward.
English Was Eagerly Coveted.
This boy English is one of the play
ers for whom the Cubs set an early
snare, and one of the few who were
coveted eagerly. Mccarthy not only
had his watched Zealously when Eng
lish was in Toledo, but had him
watched while on the road as well.
And every report that came to the
Chicago manager gave him more and
more desire to make him a player on
his team.
English is not a stockily built ball
player, but is modelled more on the
Hollocher lines, though not so
rounded with curves as Hollocher
was when at his top game for the
Cubs. English goes to either side
with certainty. He is both a left
and right hand fielder and that is
one of the first accomplishments for
which every manager asks. If he
makes the team he will sidetrack
Cooney, q fine infielder, but not so
young as he once was. English is
20 years. Cooney is 33. The new
conner is feet 10 inches tall and
weighs 155 pounds without an ounce
of surplus flesh.
Protected Against Injury.
With two players of :he skill of
English and Cooney, the Cubs will
