D. c. To Store Seized
Cars In Municipal
Property Yard

Acting on the suggestion or
the Bureau of Efficiency, the
District Commissioners today
ordered that seized automobiles
in the future be stored on the
municipal property yard at Nintf
and Water SITS. s. w.
For many years it has been
customary to store the seized cars
along the curbs or by the side or
the various precinct police sta
tions, resulting in unsightly con.
ditions which have been criticized
in many sources.

CHICAGO, Jan. IL, (P-The des-
perste bid of Chicsgo's Cubs for the
National League pennsnt in the mid
season race Of 1927, is to be dupli-
Gated right from the fall of the flag
an the 1928 season, President Week
and Manager Mccarthy declare, with
extra talent in those spots on the
club which proved weakest last Aug

The winter deals Of the Cubs have
been few in number but momentous
IN possibilities, beginning with tho
trade which brought Hazen "Kiki'
Cuyler to the team in exchange for
Sparky Adams. Manager Mccarthy
Is the kind of a leader who could
sell Grover Cleveland Alexander down
the river at the height Of his abil-
lty for the mere price of a drafted
rookie. He said he had no fear Of
cuyler's temperament. or whatever
IT was that caused all the rumpus
while XXI polished the bench at
pittsburgh during the 1927 Worlds
Series.
Cuyler said he was delighted TO
be taken up by The Cubs, and his
acquisition gave the team six heavy
hitting outfielders. Wilson. stephen
Son, Webb, Heathcote and Kelly being
the others.
To strengthen the pitching corps,
where the strain of tns pennant
chase really caused the beginning OF
the slump, the Cubs bought the 1927
strikeout king of all the leagues OF
the country, Pat Malone of Minneap-
oils. He turned back PA batters
last year. Mslone's purchase makes
SLY pitchers figured TO be ready for
regular turns-Charlie Root, who

TOUGH BREAKS
STILL RIDING
POLOTOURNEY
Opening Postponed to
Wednesday by Break
In Water Main;
Practice Held

They played polo-two games of
tat Fort Brown Tuesday afternoon,
but neither was the opening game Of
the annual midwinter polo tourna-
mcnt. A broken water main in one
corner Of the field was just as eff
fective as an earthquake in stopping
the play.
The games played were between a
quartette Of make-shift teams spon-
sored by local business men. and
were practice games pure and sim
pie. The water main break affected
only a very small portion Of the
playing field. and almost until game
time il was expected the contest
would be played as scheduled, but
the HuiSache team declined TO play
on anything short of a regulation
sized field.
Capt. Vernon Shell, polo repre-
sentative at the post, stated his be-
lief the playing space would be
cleared in time for the scheduled
contest between the Huisaehe team
and Fort Clark TO be unreeled at .
p. m. Wednesday.
The game Tuesday afternoon was
between a team sponsored by John
Gregg. and a four backed by r. y.
Creager. S. p. Parish. Capt. Burt,
Manford and Capt. Barnhart com-
posed the Gregg team. called the
Bobcats. The Cresger team, dubbed
the Prairie Dogs was composed of
Lieut.. Stad!er, Lieut.. Carver, Corp.
Cornde and Cecil Wilfonc. Mr..
Gregg's team won by a score Of 4
TO 2.
The next contest was between
| teams sponsored by William 5. West
| and W. 5. Clint. The West squad,
known for the day as the Coyotes,
was composed of Lieut.. Evans. Capt.
Cramer. Jcrn:gan and Randolph.
The Rattlesnakes. sponsored bv Mr..
Clint was made IN Of Gilbert Pyron.
Capt. Greed. Bob Parish and Lieut..
Blanchard. The West squad was
victorious IN this session.
The misfortune Of the water pipe
will cause Encouragement OF the
schedule. and will probably mean that
the first two games or the series.
those between the Huisaches and
Fort CLARK. and the locals and the
I Yellow Jackets, will be played Wed.

game Of the tourney getting under
way on Sunday.

No Dark Horses
The fans who take in the bigger
heavyweight battles in 1925 are go
ing to draw about the same con-
clusion-unless a new Firpo bobs up
in some form or other in time to
demand a portion Of the spotlight.
For as the ball starts rolling for
the annual chase after the crown
there isn't a single dark horse in the
picture.
Tunney. the champion. and Demp-
sey, cx-champion. arc still atop the
list. Of course. And mainly because
Of the lack Of new material Demp-
sey. though once turned back in his
effort 10 regain the title, still
looms as the outstanding figure
among the "contenders.
And for the same reason Jack
Sharkey. although licked in a dis
appointing bout with Jack Dempsey
six months aco. ranks next 10 Demp-
sey in the list Of those hopeful Of
taking down a four or five hundred
grand.
Tex Names Possibilities
Tex Richard, who knows his
heavyweights and how tmuch they
will draw, IN his New Years list
ing, ranks the three leaders in the
order named. And adds as others
who nave an outside chance, at least.
Of competing for the money. for a
time at least, Jack Delaney, Johnny
Risko, Tom Heeney. George Cod
frey. Pailino Uzcudun adm knute
Hansen.
OF this group Tom Heeney alone
might be considered somewhat Of a
newcomer. ht Ties uttN - NuA ldil
land a year. about. however. and
has taken and given on the chin.
Jack Delaney's presence IN the
list of the selected proves how hard
up Richard is for drawing cards
and how popular he rates the Cana
dian despite the fact that the sharp
shooter has found the going in the
heavyweight ranks somewhat bunny.
As matters stand now the posi-
gilities Of Tunney meeting new foes
in his 1923 appearance depend more
upon what ravages time causes in
Dempsey's UNDERMINING rather than
what the other eiigibles show. Those
listed arc Just agout rs good as
they'll ever be, IN the opinion or
most critics.
