As a matter Of fact the Cubs are
a long way from 'in." At least
three other managers in the league
-Southworth, Bush and McGraw--
will argue with Joe Mccarthy even
over the hot stove. John McGraw
and his Giants are prepared TO
scrap it out with McCarthy's mob
all summer long and. in many re-
spects, are better "heeled" for the
fray than the pride and joy Of the
North Side.
Mccarthy, recognized as an cru
dite baseball man, must realize that
the trail the Cubs must pursue to
a pennant is beset by many diff
culties. Even with Hornsby, an all
star outfield, a great catcher and a
swell pitching staff. the Cubs have
a pronounced weakness. The club
as it stands will not be we'll bal
anced.
The Washington times., 1929-02-06

Charley Grimm, the first base
man, is the only left-handed regular
on the club and it is perhaps the
irony of fate that Grimm, although
a left-handed hitter, is, almost a
dead left field hitter.
Even Gabby Hartnett, who will
catch most of the season fer the
Cubs, is right-handed hitter, but
a good one. Three prospective reg
ular pitchers--Art Nehf, Pat Malone
and Sheriff Blake-bat left-handed,
. but their hitting won't help the
Cubs much.
Chicago's most promising recruit
from the minors is Danny Taylor,
who spent the spring of 1928 at
Clearwater with the Robins. Tay-
lor hit .374 with Memphis, tore off
"a flock of doubles, triples and home
runs and is an accomplished bass
runner. He was one of the best
outfielders in the Southern Associa-
tion, but he has played in the n.
field and may get crack at the
third base position.
The Washington times., 1929-02-06
But, alas, Taylor is Just an
other right-handed hitter in the
midst of that Chicago crowd.

It means that opposing clubs will

possible in the direction of the
Cubs this coming summer, just as
they did last year and the year be-

fare so well against right.handed

upon sound fact.

Eventually Mccarthy may buy
Lester Bell, the Boston third base
man. But whether Beck or Bell
plays third for the Cubs this year
It will make no difference to the
present one-sided right-handedness
of the Cub batting order.
Not third base. but the problem
of overcoming a lack Of left-handed
hitting strength, is McCarthy's
gravest problem. From top to bot.
: tom the Chicago lineup is crowded
: with impressive-sounding names.
But all but one Of them hit right

Hazen Cuyler, Hack Wilson and
Riggs Stephenson, the Chicago out
fielders, form in many respects the
outstanding outfield in the National
League. But, if even one of them
swung from the left side of the
plate, 1t would be stronger Of

Aviator, Lost
On Field i'm Fog,
Rescued by Grew
Army Flyer Vainly At
tempts to Pierce Ground
Murk After Landing.

Being lost in the fog while flying is
an experience which many pilots have
faced, but the novel experience of be-
ing lost in the fog after actually land
ing on flying field remains, so far as
can be learned. the exclusive possession
of Lieut.. E. l.. Meadow Of the 95th Pur-
suit Squadron, Army Air Corps.
Lieut.. Meadow was lost to the world
for As minutes on the vast expanse OF
Rockwell Field, Calf, one of the largest
flying fields in the country. He be-
came lost Immediately after landing
through 15-foot blanket Of fog.
The officer attempted to taxi his
plane to the Zine" in front of the Army
hangers by watching his compass. He
failed to allow for defamation. however.
and wound up on the edge of Whalers
Blight, at the southwest corner of the
field. He climbed out Of his plane and
performed a distance reconnaissance
mission on foot and, having roughly es-
tablisl1ed his bearings, again attempted
to taxi to the hangar line.
This time he succeeded In reaching
a Navy OUTPOST of the northwest shore
line. The fog was low, so Lieut.. Meadow
climbed to the top wing of his plane
and stood there in an effort to peer
over the fog and get his bearings. He
was not quite tall enough to see above
the fog and finally settled down In his
plane to wait for the murk to lift or
for some one to come to his rescue.
In the meantime, other pilots OF. the
95th Squadron stood in line listening
to the sound of the wandering D-12
motor as Lieut.. Meadow cruised around.
His rescue" finally was effected by sew
eral mechanics after the vapon had
thinned out bit.

pilots, navigator and students.
Blind Flying Instruction Given.
instruction in blind flying has been
one of the important phases OF the
course, arrangements being made to
completely close off all vision by quickly
adjustable curtains. This compels the
crew to learn the art of flying entirely
by instrument, as they would have to do
in fog or thick weather.
During the round-the country flight
Capt. Finter was in command and
Lieut. Hegenberger piloted the flying
school, The students utilized the class
room in shifts of three, plotting their
location and checking their results until
they became letter perfect.
Complete radio sending and receiving
sets were installed, the students main
tanning communication with their home
stations in addition to flying radio bea-
con courses. The radio phase Of the
course was handled by Lieut. LIE Roy
