YOUNG CUBS ARE PRIMINC
TO OVERTHROW PIRATES
Chicago Club Believes 1t Has Only Bucs to Defeat to
Get National League Pennant This Season.
Mccarthy Must Build New Infed.

ayers would be appalled, at the idea OF
trying to win pennant without Sec

at least one year. Joe Mccarthy doesn't
even think about 1t. That is the differ
ence between him and old-time man.
ayers. That is also why he was wont
to put together championship teams at
Louisville. when everybody laughed at
his material.
English at shortstop is apt to be the
sensation of the league In 1928. He
had marks OF 1t last season. but was
i'll too much. He feels that he will gain
health and strength from now to the
end Of the season whether he plays or
pays for his board.
English Fast at Short.
English is a digger at shortstop. He
runs way over back OF second base
every now and then By one OF those
seemingly impossible hops and skips
that q high-class shortstop can make,
picks up the ball and throws a surprised
batter out by 3 or feet That was a
Herman Long trick, and a Hugh Jen-
nings trick. Almost invariably when a
young shortstop is seen to make sensa-
tional stops back Of second base, he is
on his way to fame.
Fred Mcguire and Norman Mcmillan
are trying to be second basemen. Per-
haps both will stay all year. New York
has seen them, for one was Giant and
the other a Yankee. Both have i'm
proved and there is curiosity as TO
which one Mccarthy will pick to start
the season as a regular.
At third base there Ia Voter. who was
with the Cubs last season. and Johnny
Butler, who was with Brooklyn. II But
Ter only had the constitution, he could
play third base as well as any. barring
Pie Traynor.

There is no great third baseman In
the National League. except Traynor.
It's queer how almost all OF the players

and then. Except for Traynor. there ts
none who can play TO the speed OF Ar

rambunctious than ever. They act
more like wild cats than cubs. Cubs

In q month.
A running start has been made to
wake them up and keep them awake.
These Chicagos have q notion that a
considerable show Of tabasco and Gin
namon will give the Pittsburghs mental
indigestion: psychology seems TO per-
meate modern sport.
According to Pie Traynor. Pittsburgh
captain, the Yankees during the last
world series had only TO throw their
gloves TO the ground and Babe Ruth
TO brandish his club and the game was
won. Pie says he heard that from one
OF the Yankee players. Others viii be-
l!eve that Pie was helped TO the truth.
II there is anything meritorious in
that procedure. the Cubs here are prac-
ticing II.
They will throw gloves and bats and
balls TO the ground and dance a war
dance in addition IL they think they
can .ntimidate the Pirates. for without
being more than ordinarily egotistical.
the chicagos believe the National League
pennant is between them and Pitts
burgh. A great deal Of that is heard
on he coast. The Pittsburghs them
selves hint about 1t now and then.
Must Make Team.
tn win n rennant Chicago has a
task quite unlike that Of Pittsburgh.
The Pirates are a known team, made
smarter by the addition OF a second
baseman and not materially weakened
By the loss Of Cuyler. The Cubs must
make an infield out Of kids. except at
FIRST base. where there is Grimm. and
even Grimm Is sometimes much like
kid.
There are two cebatable points on the
Chicago infield. One is second base
and the other third. Old-time man.

JAPAN DENIES WAR
PURPOSE IN CHINA
Notes to League Declare
Sending of Troops Is Not
InimicaI to Chinese.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. May l5.--Japan officially
has sent to the League Of Nations two
documents outlining why japanese
troops were sent to Shantung. China.
The documents. received today. came
from NJ Sato. Japanese Minister In
Paris, who directs japanese activities at
the League of Nations. In a covering
letter Sato explained to Sir Eric Drum :
mond, the League secretary, that at
the time of the Shantung trouble the
japanese foreign minister made two
declarations explaining the reasons
which led Japan to take action. Hence.
Sato said, he desired 10 transmit these
to the League for It's information.
The importance of Sato's communi-
cation with its Enclosures Is felt here
to lie in the fact that Japan now has
officially recognized that the League Is
entitled to receive explanations In the
matter.
Sending Of Troops Explained.
The foreign minister's declarations
Anclosrd included the statement fl1ada
on April 20. explaining the necessity
on dlgpatching 5000 troops TO Shantairg,
but emphasizing that this should IN no
wise be interpreted rs an act inimical
10 the Chinese.
Another document was the Rosern-
mental declaration of May 3 stating
that the situation In the District OF
Tsinan had so increased in gravity that
the existing Japanese forces there we're
deemed insufficient for the protection
OF japanese residents Of Shantung, the
railway having been destroyed at sew
eral places, making the maintenance OF
communication between Tsinan and
Tsingtao impossible
Protection Held Purpose.
This declaration continues by an
nouncing the dispatch OF an army
division to Shantung. five other COM
panies To TientSin and the decision TO
send an additional number OF cruisers
and destroyers TO China and stating
that the sole purpose of these move
ments was for the protection OF
these forces would be withdrawn as the
occasion permits
1t In understood that the Japanese
communication will be distributed to
members of the council and officiaily
communicated to the press as soon
as it can be translated, thereby receiV-
Ing the same treatment as the recent
Nationalist protest.
japanese circles in Geneva think that
1t is likely another japanese communi-
cation will be forthcoming, dealing spe~
cificalIy with matters covered In the
Nationalist protest alleging that Japan
was making war upon China and COM
mitting atrocities

MERGER PROBLEM

At the same time he wants to get the

Has Met Only Once.
The senatae committee has held only
one meeting heretofore on the merger
plan, and that was for the purpose OF
giving the Senators general picture OF
the unification agreement IN the form
OF brief statements ny those for and
against the plan as presented 10 Con-
greSS.
At a meeting of the Senate committee
a few days ago Senator Vandenoerg,
Republican. OF Michigan requested that
data be obtained rs 10 the basic valua-
tons of street railway systems IN other
cities to see how they would compare
with the proposed valuation OF $5o,-
600 900 for the merged company In
washington. This information has not
vet been collected by the committee.
Oflicials of the committee have re-
ceived the report asked for several

crat. of New York containing detailed
figures on the amounts invested In the
local street car systems since they were
chartered.

The meeting of the committee this
afternoon may lead to some definite
conclusion as to whether the Senate
group should proceed at this time TO
detailed study of the merger question,
and may also give some indication OF
whether the other members Of the
committee believe the legislation can be
completed before adjournment.
