CHICAGO. H., Aug 14.-Bill Jur- ges, handy man of the Cubs in- field, is paradox of modern base ball
 In this age of heavy hitting, few players have a chance to stay in the big time unless they can mur der the ball. Jurges can't even hit it very. consistently, yet he stays on with the Cubs, not as a fill-in, but as star of the first magnitude. ssaiye
 His rifle-like arm, begging rum ners out from every angle, and his big hands, which scoop 'em up from all corners of his territory, are his winning stocks in trade. 'ti
 When Jurges played shortstop with the Reading club of the h. ternational league, formerly a Cub farm, he didn't show much. He hit only 280 and ranked eighth among the leagues shortstops in field ing.
 But when he got a chance to make the spring training camp with the Cubs, Manager Rogers Hornsby took one look at him and remarked: 9H
 There is ball player, and I'll prove it."
 He took Jurges aside, showed him how to throw from every bag and drilled him in the fine arts of the game. Through all the spring ex- hibition games Jurges played al- most every position in the infield
 His hitting improved somewhat, and when Lester Bells sore arm failed to respond to treatment,

SEA GOD" TO SHOW LAST
 TIMES TONIGHT
Land of Missing Men Will Be Seen at Coliseum
 Tomorrow

"The Sea God" will be shown for the last times at the Coli scum theatre. The Land of Miss ing Men" will be presented tomor- row, both at the matinee in the afternoon and at the performance in the evening.
 "The Sea God" stars Richard Arlen and Fay Wray. It is an in tensely interesting story of adven- ture and romance on the South Sea island, where priceless pearls, savage cannibals and villainous white sailors abound but where the hero and heroine finally win wealth and happiness. Land of Missing Men" Tn "The Land of Missing Men" Bob Steele has the leading role.
 "Thar's gold in them thar hillsl"
 That old expression credited to some forgotten prospector of the Western wastelands assumed a new meaning to Steele's Western out fit quartered at Vasquez Rocks, in California, filming the Tiffany ac- i tion drama.
 Vasquez Rocks, peculiar jum- ble of rocks in section isolated from civilization, were the strong hold of early California's most fa- nous bandit. Vasquez was a terror to all he met, and his robberies were spectacular, his feuds furi- ous and his hatreds many It was known, definitely, that he buried most of his loot at Vasquez.
 Snakes Guard Treasure
 Men have been lost for days hunting for the old robbers hid- den wealth, and the story is told of several who found themselves in nests of rattlesnakes, unable to stir until sundown.
 Yet this historic spot, reminiscen, of the glamor of real bandit days, is but 70 miles from Hollywood!
 Naturally, most of the members Of the Trem Carr unit filming "The Land of Missing Men" did a little exploring when they were not in the scenes. But with 21 rat tlesnakes killed in the first three days work the risk was consider ed too great by J. P. Mccarthy. director, and he forbade members to covet Senor Vasquezs gold and trinkets.

Given Vacated Cafe
for Operations.

Harvey's restaurant, at Eleventh

mittee Of the District of Columbia, of
which Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley is chair
man.
Negotiations for use Of the facilities
there were completed today Dy George
j. Adams, executive secretary of the
District of Columbia Committee on En-
ployment. He completed arrangements
in conference with officials of the
Treasury Department, which now owns
the restaurant, and with Julius Lulley,

their old home from the Government
for storage.
Plans for operating the canning OPP
erations Of the Surplus Foods Commit
tee from the kitchen Of the restaurant
were being made this afternoon at a

the board room of the Franklin School

Mr. Adams explained that the use
of the restaurant facilities was offered
to the committee without cost by Mr.
Lulley While the building eventually
is to be torn down in the public building
program, assurances were given Mr..

stand for at least another year.
Canning of surplus foods in the
restaurant probably will start within a
few days, Mr.. Adams predicted, and

ed until August % this year, when the
