Z Strengthening the inner defense
Of the Chicago Cubs is Manager Joe
McCarthy's first move toward Great
ing a bigger and better Cub baseball
machine for 1880.
This year third base was one OF
the weak spots in the Chicago lineup.
Purchase OF Lester Bell from the
Braves should do a lot to bolster the
Cubs at the hot corner, at least Of
fensively.
Bell was no sensation III the field
last season but he cracked the spher-
old for a 1893 tune and smacked in
50 TALES, which is considerable hit
ting considering Les was playing
with the lowly Bostonians, do0rmats
OF the National league.

plate that recommended him to Nc
Ccrthy. for the Chicago boss insists
that a third baSeman should be a
good hitter rather than a WOW or
a fielder.
Bells best year was with the Car
dinals IN 1926. he hit .325 and was
rated one or the best hot corner
occupants in the league. The next
year he fell down and landed with
the Braves in 1928. Bell is only %
and young enough 10 regain the
stride he struck in 1926.
Bell was purchased by the Cardi-
nails from Lansing, Mich. in 1922
and farmed out TO Syracuse, N. ".
He was recalled in 1923 and sent
70 Houston. Tex. Then he PLAYED
with the Cards until the spring or
1924. when he was sent 70 Nilwau-
kee, Wis. He hit .355 for the Brew
ers that season. playing shortstop.
IN 1925 he became the Cards reglI-
lar third baseTnan and held that
post until being sent to the Braves

CUMBERLAND, Md, December 20.
The bodies of Mrs Anna Pearl Glass,
Ss, and her daughter Evelyn Grace, 8,
burned to death in fire which wrecked
their home on Ascension street Christ
mas night, were taken to Bayard, w.
Va, for burial Virgil, 7, who threw
gasoline on a stove fire, causing the
confagration, received a badly-burned
hand The gasoline had been brought
into the house by Luther, 10, brother,
to clean clothing.
The explosion blew out the windows
and doors and scattered flaming fluid
about the interior.
The mother, who was in an upstairs
room with the daughter Evelyn Grace,
attempted to battle the fire for mo-
ment, and then rushed up the stairway
for the evident purpose of reScuing
the child. There is evidence that she
attempted to return with the little girl,
but was driven back by the smoke
and flames. The heat was so intense
that the firemen were thwarted in
every attempt to reach the room where
the mother and child we're trapped.
1t is mystery to the firemen how
other members of the family in the
home escaped, especially the small boy
