 At IS he got job with Toledo. and, though he only hit .220 that year-1926-his sensational field ing kept him on. His second year found him not only fielding better. but hitting around 800. That was good enough for the Cubs, and they bought him in 1927. Woody started out as q second baseman, but was developed into a shortstop at Toledo and Chicago. In 1880. however, Woody was again switched. and was given the hot corner. Since then he's been the regular third baseman.
 Thin and small compared to other Cub players, English has to rely on his speed and clever held- Ing. His hating average this year hovered around .27O, which rank ed him about fourth among the National Leagues third basemen.

FRENCH BLAME
 OLYMPIC FLOP
 ON HOSPITALITY
By RALPH HEINzEN

 Paris. (UP)-Boasting only few Olympic games laurels, members of the French team were back in their routine lives to-day reflecting upon the lament of French sport ing writers that the expedition to Los Angeles was a terrible waste of money.
 The athletes did not try to blame their poor showing on the California climate, American food or unfair judges, but rather on California hospitality. The teams handlers said that the athletes acted like school children on holi- day, but the youths insist that they did the best they could against vastly improved athletes of all races.
 There was solemn tribute to Americas outstanding supremacy, but the French athletes feel that Japan will challenge America in ing but praise for California, its blueskies and sunshine.
 The French sports writers who accompanied the team, deplored the organization of the games and were bitter in protesting the lack of interest among the French ath- letes, once they began to be lion- ized by French admirers in Cali fornia.
 "The American public is Fran cophile but the California press never said a good word about any French athletes" wrote Jacques Goddet,, sports writer. "The sports writers in Los Angeles announced the first Olympic victories, two Frenchmen, Duverger and Hostin, In the weight-lifting events with the phrase: "A dancing professor and a baccarat croupier win first Olympic victories.'"
 Goddet and the athletes agreed that the Los Angeles stadium track was perfect. They pronounce 1t the fastest that ever has been built and they contend that Is the reason so many records tumbled.

especially inside airplane cabins. Noise
and vibration have proved source OF
irritation to many passengers.
Owing to the fact that in Virtally all
cases the predominating volume of
sound is due to the propeller and not
the engine, the Bureau Of Standards
has devoted much time to the sound
proofing OF airplane cabins by utilizing
layers of ound-deadening materials in
the cabin walls, floor and ceiling. Many
transport planes now are built with
lined walls developed as result OF
these studies.
Some work also has been done with
muffiers and gearing Of propellers, but
so far Eastern Air Transport Is the
only organization to adopt such de-
vices for everyday use.
Very Much Alive.
Col Frank P Lahm, Army Air Corps,
air attache at the United States en-
bassy in Paris, can, in the words Of
the late Mark Twain, testify to the
world that reports of his death ARE
greatly exaggerated"
Reports of his death were circulated
in this country. They were erroneous
reports. Col Lahm is very much alive
and represented the United States on
January Is at the annual conference of
the Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale In Paris. The rumors are
thought to have been due to errors in
transmission of reports Of the death of
the colonels father In Paris about two
weeks ago.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-Rogers
Hornsby, manager of Chicago's
Cubs, is ready to return to active
play at second or third base this
season, he told the United Press
Monday before leaving FOR New
York.
I'm more than ready to step
in and play if I am needed" Horns
by said. Il still consider myself a
player-manager, and I'll be that
two years from now, if that mat
tiers.
Whether I play regularly de-
ponds largely upon two youngsters,
Bill Herman and Stanley Hack.
Both are fine prospects, Herman at
second and Hack at third.
Much Depends on Rockies
Should both succeed in winning
regular jobs I'd hold myself in re-
serve. But I will be in condition to
step into either place"
Hornsby said he believes the Cubs
will be a genuine pennant contender.
Il want mostly youngsters at the
camp the first ten days." he said.
1T is on their shoulders that much
of the success of the 1882 Cubs will
depend"
Hornsby expects to direct an
improved pitching staff. It's chief
addition is that of Burleigh Grimes,
veteran spitballer, who was one of
the heroes of the st. Louis Card
inals' world series.
Boost for Taylor
Charlie Grimm will play first"
Hornsby said. Harry Taylor. 81
year-old recruit from Seattle will be
his understudy. They call Taylor
another Hal Chase as a fielder, but
we don't know about his batting.
Woody English is a great shortstop."
The Cubs outfleld will be built
around Kiki CuyleT, the lone regu-
lar left flom tn Bruins champion
ship days of 1929. Riggs Stephen
son, who was on the retired list last
season, will be back. Others avail
able will be Lance Richbourg, Dan
ny Taylor and Vince Barton.
1t is rumored the Cubs have
launched negotiations to land a new
fly chaser of known smuggling ability.
