it not be a better tournament if inter-

Santa Catalina Island, Calf, Mar
4.-RD-When two such conservatives
as William Wrigley, jr.. and Manager
Joe Mccarthy come out together with
flat statements that the Cubs will
win the National League champion
ship in 1880. it looks as if the Heydler
circus will be a one-ring show this
year.
Never before have these two base
ball minds been SO certain of winning
and from past performances and the
successful raids they have made over
the winter on the ivory markets, they
have just cause for their unbounded
optimism.
Players Have Everything
1T will take a world war with
plenty of CONSUMPTION to beat us out
Of the pennant this year." said Wrig-
ley as he watched the team finish its
first week of practice on his magic
island. MY players have everything
that makes q super-championship
club-pitching, batting, fielding and a
fighting spirit seldom see in base
ball. They are all youngsters too,
averaging around Is years. We are
20 per cent stronger than in 1929"
In addition to the fact that they
won the championship last season by
a large margin, the big developments
came in favor of the Cubs over the
winter. They were the purchase of
Lester Bell, who is expected to make
the club several games stronger at
third base and in the batting lineup,
and the return to form Of Leo Cab
by" Hartnett. whose loss all but
wrecked their pennant hopes last
season.
Hartnett has surprised even the
most optimistic during spring prac-
tice. The big catcher,s arm appears
to be as strong as ever and a weeks
test finds him throwing the ball al
most perfectly to second whereas he
couldn't send an accurate toss to first
q year ago when his salary wing sud-
denly went limp and failed to respond
to treatment from specialists.
II Mccarthy has any worries this
year. they rest solely on the pitching
staff. which he is attempting to
strengthen with a few finds" out Of
eight rookie hurlers gained by Wrig-
ley's big and ready bank roll during
the off-SeaSon.
But even should all Of them fail.

Of the league in 1929. Charlie Root
and Guy Bush. in addition to Pat

when the time for Withdrawals from

tonight, their hold on the county
organization will be clinched and

G.. o. P. organization headquarters
reported late today that 100 regular

be raised to 125 by Withdrawals of

In order to perpetuate Coffin con-

With 1875 unopposed, Coffin lead

3-POWER PACT
SMOOTHED OUT
Outstanding Problems of
Treaty Solved. |

BD United Press
LONDON, April 10.-The Ameri-
can delegation abandoned hope Of
a fve-power treaty for limitation
of navies today and attempted to
salvage from the wreckage of the
naval conference an agreement on
certain principles to which the five
powers have subscribed.
The proposed five-power agree
ment would include the accepted
proposals for humanization Of sub
marines. A battleship holiday until
1896, classification Of aircraft car
riers and a global category trans
actional proposal.
The transitional proposal would
limit the tonnage of each class of
ship but permit transfer, within
limits, from one class to another.
Such an agreement would mean
some Scrapping of vessels on which
all five powers have agreed.
In addition, the three power
treaty among the United States,
Britain and Japan has been
achieved.
Secretary Stimson decided the
f1ve-power limitation deadlock could
not be broken after he had con-
ferred with Prime Minister Mac
Donald this morning.

Fool EN- feeding 'em" is the slo-
gan of fishermen for the coming
angling season.
Casting and fly bats, as never
before, run to realistic effects and
MI. and Mrs. Bass and Mr.. and Mrs
Pike, with their brethren of other
f1nny tribes, will be urged to mistake
wood image for a real field mouse
and composition bit for a retreat
ing "craw-dad."
With fly fishing returning to
popular favor in a large degree, the
collection of bats offered for the
featherwefght throws is unusually
large.
Mamma Fish we'll may mistake
one of the little minnow bats tossed
into the water by a follower of
Izaak Walton as a member of her
own myriad offspring, and oppose
efforts of Papa fish to swallow the
baby.
Just to offset any such rescue,
however, the Em-Roe Sporting
Goods Company at 209 West Wash
ington street, and the Gus Habich
Company, sporting goods dealers at
1856 East Washington street, show
several little charms to take the
curse off the proverbial "f1shermen's
luck"
Good Luck Charm
One charm is miniature watch
fob reproduction of bass and is
calculated to counteract such bad
luck as Friday, the thirteenth, or
even the fact that the fish are fed
up on being fooled.
The appetite Of fish for mice be-
comes an important part of the
anglers lure this year At least five
new kinds of imitation mice await
the opportunity to become food for
the fish.
Several are 1ife-like One has
beaded eyes and a long, flexible tail.
1t is called the Field Mouse.
Another is MADE OF cora assembled
to give the effect of fur. 1t is called
the Natures Mouse.
Big Catches Reported
indianapolis plug throwers also
are to have an opportunity to de-
termine just how much crawflsh ap-
peal to the appetite of the bass. A
wide variety Of crawflsh bait is Of
fered, including one in natural colors
and another with flexible legs.
The black bats, such as the cat
fish and the field mouse, are taking
the place of luminous bats for
night casting, experts here declare.
Honors to date for the season,
however, go to william Zoller,
formerly of Greensburg. but now Of
Indianapolis, who landed a small
mouthed bass weighing four pounds
and twelve ounces at Flatrock.
Mrs. Helen Ellington, SO West
Thirtieth street, landed two small
mouthed bass at Sugar creek, one
weighing three pounds seven ounces.
