Chicago Cubs Finish
 Camp Training Today

Avalon, Catalina Island. Cal. March 2: F1 --- One more batting practice today. and tle Chicago Cubs will have finished their spring visit at this island training camp. An other series with coast leaguers starts tomorrow. and then the east ward Journey.
 The rookie holdout, Pete Fowler. surprised everyone in yesterdays interclub game by holding the enemy to three hits and one pass in five innings. The disappointment among the Cub executives over the trade of Lester Bell. Cardinal third base man. to the Boston Braves for Andy High, was plainly evident today. The Cubs felt they had made a better offer. and wanted Bell badly.

SsS0 ~sS pH'sAAA0 so oo " A'N\t'AN'- Sunday afternoon to watch the game between the silver City champions and an all-star quintet picked from the league to be played for the bene- fit of Larry Saunders, who suffered the loss Of an eye from an accident during an early game in the past season.
 Saunders was one of the most popular of the present day players and the unfortunate occurrence has deprived him not only of physi- cal member but will hamper him in his private work. Fans from all over the state of Connecticut will support the project as one Of the most worthy proposed i'll some time.
 After dickering all week. Man aser Clarence Lanpher Of the New Britain basketball team and Man ager Sam Bailey Of the New Haven Atlas, have at last agreed to use only one official Saturday night in the game between their two clubs.
 "Eed" Ball has been selected as the man acceptable to both men. Dick Dillon was the choice of the local man but Bailey refused to .n- tertain the suggestion that he be one Of the officials. Dillon is the flaw srite choice of New Britain fans for | game Of this character but the Atlas players do not like him and therefore, he has been banned by the New Haven crew.
 To us. this appears to be a rather arrange view for any manager to assume. Dillon is strict and that IS the one reason why Manager Bailey refused to consent to his officiating Tt the game here Saturday night The New Haven players cannot play when the rules are strictly adhered to or else there would be no auss- ton about this or that referee,
 Last Friday night gave us strong impression of how the Atlas back ar, regard an official who does not strongly favor the home club. tlEde Waters was called every name not in the dictionary for his actions, put had he called the fouls as they should have been called. there would have been no New Haven players left in the game before the middle Of tho second half.
 Ball is an efficient referee and his presence in the game will force the players on both teams to play clean # hard, basketball.
 New Britain Is out 10 win Sal urday night If 1t never won another game. The regular team will be IT fine fettle for the affray and there will be plenty of excitement whef the clash starts.
