! AVALON, Catalina Island, Mar.
9.-(PJ-Out here in this Semi-trop-
ical country, Joe Mccarthy is pol
ishing up his big punch for what
promises to be the Chicago Cubs
year in the National league.
With Rogers Hornsby' one Of the
games biggest batting threats, as
key man, Mccarthy is building with
the confident hope that he will
have a batting attack strong
enough to break through any and
all kinds OF fancy pitching.
He has good reason for his hopes,
for Hornsby, Wilson, Stephenson
and Cuyler wound up the 1923 sea-
son with a combined batting av-
erage Of 1924.
This quartet poundde out 246 ex-
ira base hits, including II home
runs, 1913 two baggers and 81 three
baggers.
These four men probably will be
the Cubs biggest threat, but on the
basis of 1923 averages that Bruin
batting lineup will be packed full
Of punch.
English, HartneUt and Grimm,
all regulars, batted around the 800
mark last year and should 90 bet
ter this year if for no other reason
than that they will benefit by the
weakening effect the four headline
sluggers will have on opposing
SluggerS.
Having a sure .375 hitter like
Hornsby on a club is plenty bad for
the enemy but when there also are
clubbers like Riggs Stephenson,
who hit 1924 in 1923 and Hack Will
son, who batted .313 and pounded
out 81 home runs, something is
bound to give.

PHEASANTS RELEASED
FOR MAINE HUNTERS

BATH ME-, March 9.-(P-A
mecca for pheasant hunters is be-

Pheasants released last fall and
additional birds to be released this
spring are expected to revert en-

that they return occasionally to the
farm yard from which they were
released and consort with the hens
at feeding time.
In about three years it is believed
that they will have reverted en-

WHERE NEW ENGLAND STANDS

The railroad magnates who have been figuring in recent consolidation news would have us believe that New England will be well cared for if their plans go through. What they forget to say is that it was never the object of New England to have a consolidation of it's rail- roads under control, actual or indi- rect, elsewhere.
 That is how the situation is shap- ing itself. The New Haven, the Bos- ton & Maine, the Maine Central, and the Bangor and Aroostook are all being spoken of as already lined up
 for inclusion in system in which the Pennroad Corporation will be heavily if not dominantly interested. Such control surely was not the original Idea behind a New England consolidation. The idea was to have
 consolidated system able 10 bar

 If a consolidated New England system is 10 be influenced CT con- trotlcd by the Pcnnroad Corporation, holding company operated by the Pennsylvania railroad, New Eng land lines will not be in as advan- tageous a position as if they remain
 cd independent of such influence, The flock of them will exist large

 vania
 The Pennsylvania. through the Pcnnroad Corporation, is playing for
 high stakes. Its purchases recently 1 have been amazing-the Detroit,
 Toledo 6; lronton, the Canton Com 1 pany of Baltimore. and the reported
 purchase of a line in the Pittsburgh
 district; in addition, the Pennsyl-
