CUBS APPEAR WEAK
ON EARLY RETURNS
Hard Hit by Injuries, Team
Must Hustle to Repeat
in National League.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON.
A1ocfated press Snoyts writar

AbooCAotSu EEeSS 0pOrbS WElLSE.
| ~HICAGO, April 2S.-The FIRST
two weeks hardly can be taken
~ seriously in major league base
ball campaign, but this year
they have definitely established the
fact that Joe McCarthys Cubs will have
to recover quickly and so some great
hustling If they are to repeat their Ma
tional League championship.
Injuries have jinxed the team from
the start and the end still Is far from
sight. Rogers Hornsby still is lame from
the spur growth on his right heel and
his batting punch may be missing from
the team for a month and possibly the
rest of the season, despite the cheerful
reports of examining physicians.
Lester Bell, big Cub investment IN
the attempt to plug up the weak third
base post, still Is suffering from lame
arm and he, too, may not get IN any
more games than the "Rajah." Added
to that, the pitching staff Is far from
ready and the big flock OF promising
rockies, obtained over Winter to bolster
the pitching staff, Is not so promising
| now.
No Chance to Stall
Added to all these "bearish" develop
ments has been the break In the
weather. OF all the teams In the Ma
tional League, the Cubs need stallng
time, Yet they are the only ones in
the circuit to be denied it. They have
PLAYED every day since the season
opened and today rest on the red side
of the ledger with six won ana seven
lost.
Even Manager Mccarthy IS dubious
about Hornsby's quick return TO the
lineup. In the few times the "RaJah
has been used as pinch hitter nus
limp has been very noticeable. Win
his usual optimism he advises ne VIII
be back Every soon" and that he Is al
most ready, but day after day he re-
| mains on the bench, with the CUBS
starving for that extra punch he WELD
ed last season when run or two meant
the difference between defeat and VIC
| tory.
Another operation on the heel would
not surprise any one familiar with ms
ailment. And another operation would
mean his definite absence for two
months and probably McCarthy's fond
hopes Of another championship.
Macks Leave Imprint
Peculiarly enough, the world series
skirn1ish with the Athletics seems to
have left its imprints on the team. All
last season the Cubs were deadly
against southpaw pitchers. Lefty
Grove Of the Athletics .stopped that
| habit and now the Cubs do not appear
able to win from left-handers.
But Manager Mccarthy and his team
are fighting to take the start phiolo-
sophically.
''It looks like we are getting all the
bad breaks now" said Marse Joe. "But
a bad start usually means great finish
Anyway, seven defeats in thirteen starts
against teams like st. Louis, Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh isn't so bad for our con
dition. My pitchers aren't quite ready
yet, but we shouldn't worry too much
We lost several games by bad breaks
too"

in the general direction Of the base
man. Throw on line and keep the
ball low.
Boys have a tendency to throw
the ball high and over the heads Of
other players.
when you start throwing the
ball around it gets hot" says Babe
Ruth, land the best thing to do is
put it in your hip pocket and let it
cool off,"
Babes advice is sound. When in
doubt and excited, hold the ball and
let it "cool off," Never throw I'M
less you have definite reason for
doing so.
Save this big league base ball
series, another will appear tomorrow.

had following the ceremony, and follow
ing the food came work. All hands
turned to and became cellar diggers,
preparing the ground for the addition
to the club house. The club expects to
put feet tender into commission this
season, and Steward Allen looks forward
to busy time.
Twelve new members were admitted
to the club.
Whilst all this was taking place
Cap'n Herbert Bose of the Corinthian
fleet arrived In Norma I'd, but could not
be persuaded to stay and try a shovel.
Then Herr Leusenkamp, new owner Of
MILDLY, tried to remove the roof Of
Charlie Kocher's Charoma with the top
of his head and only succeeded in rails
ing a bump on his brow. Skipper Good
fellow tried out his new Bee Dee and
came back smiling. She's about the
incest thing in outboards we have seen
and the Cap'n built her all himself, no
help from any one 'cepttn' the usual
amount OF free advice.
Vice Commodore Dan Fowler of the
Capitol Club pops in every now and
then to give us real salty growl, but
never yet has remained long enough for
us to find out what and where he is
going with the Grace this Summer.
Perez ChildS wears worried frown
these days. His stable of Sea Horses
is becoming a bit unmanageable-says
he has sold so many that he can no
longer count them on his fingers and
toes. BY the way, Percy, does the halter
go with the Horse?
Now, we are not in cahoots with the
chain manufacturers-but how is your
mooring? Now's the time, If ever, to
overhaul it; after the blow it may be too
late. What blow? Well, we've had 'em
before and we'n have 'em again.
Again we appeal to The Engineers De-
partment to slow down their towboats
when running free Of lows. The swell
caused, by these craft is liable to do
considerable damage to craft in berths
and slips and cause a great deal Of dis
comfort to the boatiac trying to do a
bit of work about the boat these fine
evenings.

started on his thirteenth move, when
he played Kt-B3, instead of F-Q5. This
move, followed later by B-B3, would
have given Whitaker decided advan-
tage, as his pawns, all eight on the
board, as against four for his oppo-
nent, would have been irresistible, and
Sir George would still have been on the
defensive, without a winning attack.
Another suggestion is that 17B-B7
should have been played, with at least
drawing probabilities.
The score Of this game was published
last week.

Wild, Useless Throws
BY AL DEMAREE,

Former Pitcher New York Giants.
Wild, useless throws are usually
the biggest single factor that enters
into the losing and winning Of anna
teur games. And nine out Of ten
times the wild heaves, even II they
had been perfect throws, would not
have caught the runners.
My advice to boys and amateur
players is when in doubt-hold the
bali. If you see you have chance
to retire a runner, don't just throw

Grifiths. who, some experts have de-

was Gagnon who halted Griffiths when

Health Department Is Put Under
Reichelderfer in New
Arrangement.

Commissioners Luther H. Reichel-
derfer and Herbert B. Crosby today re-
distributed the Offices over which they
have direct control. The most impor-
tant change, predicted for some time,
put the Health Department under DR..
Reichelderfer and the corporation
counsel's Office under Gen. Crosby. This
centralizes the health work under DR..
Reichelderfer and the police and law
enforcement under Gen. Crosby.
A number of examining and other
boards, all having to do with health
work, were transferred from Commits
sioner Crosby to Commissioners Reichel-
derfer. They are: The Board OF Den
tai Examiners, the Board of Licensure
to Practice the Healing Arts, the Board
of Optometry, the Anatomical Board,
the Board of Veterinary Examiners, the
Nurses Examining Board and the Board
of Pharmacy.
These various health boards were
previously under the control of Com
missioner Proctor L. Dougherty, who
was chairman of the board and also
police commissioner. In making the
appointments of the present civilian
Commissioners. however, President Hoo
yer stated that it was his plan to put
Gen. Crosby, an Army man, in charge
of the police work and to let DR.. Reich
elderfer attend to the duties falling on
the president of the board.

JOHNSON DEMANDS
NAVAL PACT STUDY
California Senator Raises Six
Points on London Arms
Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Careful examination Of the London
naval treaty was demanded today by
Senator johnson Of California, ranking
Republican on the foreign relations
committee and one of the key men in
the approaching Senate debate.
Withholding judgment on the pact,
Senator johnson outlined six points on
which he said he would ask that the
agreement square before he approves it.
He indicated he would wait to listen
to the proposed hearings on the pact.
II am studying the treaty" he said
today, land am having 1t studied to as
certain whether:
"First, under it our Navy Is ADEQUATE
for our national defense and the pro.
lection of our commerce.
Second, whether under It there Is q
limitation among the nations party to
1t Of navy building.
Third, whether there Is q reduction
in our naval armament and that of
other nations.
Fourth. whether there Is any real
economy or saving to our people un-
der it.
Fifth, whether, as promised, our
Navy Is granted parity with that of
Great Britain.
Sixth. whether the treaty makes our
future contingent wholly upon another
action, and, II so, whether this
makes for our future tranquility and
security log the reverse.
