ONLY THREE CUBS
CERTAIN OF JOBS.
All Except Klein, Hartnett
and Warneke Will Have
Battle on Hands.

)HICAGO, March S.
I There's going to be a
Y 1 merry battle for place
and preference on the
Chicago Cubs when the Bruins
settle down to their Spring work
on Santa Catalina Island.
Only three Of the Bears were GER
tain of regular jobs when the first
squad Of players showed of from this
port for the training camp. They are
Chuck Klein in the outf1eld, Gabby
Hartnett behind the plate and Lon
Warneke. the long pitcher from Ar
kansas.
All the others must sell their wares
to Manager Charlie Grimm, including
Charlie Grimm, the first baseman.
KLEIN is going to play right or
n center field, depending upon
who gets the other picket posts
Klein will hit either third or fourth,
contingent upon his outfield mates.
If Floyd Caves Herman shows the
stuff which made him a great hitter
with Brooklyn, then he will play right
f1eld. In that case Klein will go to
center and hit third, for Herman is
good cleanup hitter and fast
enough to avoid being doubled at first.
a curse that has cost the Cubs many
runs in recent seasons.
Hazen Cuyler, another jackrabbit
fly chaser, and good hitter, is being
included as a regular outfielder in
Grimm's preseason plans and prob
ably will be found in left if Herman
regains his spurs. All Cuyler needs
do is to beat out Riggs Stephenson
and Tut" Stainback, the hardhit-
ting recruit from Los Angeles.
Grimm has listed Warneke, Bush,
Malone, Root and Timing as his reg
ular pitchers. But complications are
likely there. Bill Lee from Columbus,
Dick Ward from Los Angeles and Roy
Joiner from Oakland are after jobs
and the veterans will find it tough to
stop all three Of the youngsters.
"HERE will be a regular dog fight
on the club infield. Woody Eng
lish and Stanley Hack will bat
tie for third base If Hack wins out
there. English likely will give Bill
Jurges q contest for the shortstop
post. Bill Herman must defend his
hold on second base against the at
tack of Augie Galan, the recruit from.
San Francisco-a sweet player. they
claim around the Bay district.
Dolph Camilli. a clever fielder. will
fight Charlie Grimm for the right to
play first. Whichever combination
Grimm selects is certain to offer q
strong defense. a fair sum Of hitting
and more than the ordinary amount
of speed.

and Happiness,

A worker from the Juvenile Pro-
tective Association stepped into the
situation at this point and started
again the child's long-neglected clinic
visits. The health instructions re-
ceived at the clinic were passed on to
and interpreted to the parents. Extra
milk was + rovided. The mother was
made to realize that the child could
not do the housework and must have
rest. But what meant most to Mar
garet, tutor was provided, who went
to the little girls home three or four
times week, supplied her active mind
with happy occupation and helped
her to catch up the time that she had
lost with her studies. This was done
to such good effect that, when the
doctor at last pronounced her able to
return to school, she was not far be-
hind the other children of her own
age.
The work of the Juvenile Protective
Association is supported by contribu-
tions made through the Community

proposed law will have plenty of
teeth in it, especially designed to take
care OF the numbers racketeers.
However" Mr.. Prettyman reminds.
shat law may not be passed by
Congress until February or March.
Maybe later. No one knows. In the
meantime, Washington is being over
run by racketeers. The newspapers
are doing marvellous job in creating
public sentiment against vicious gam
bling. They can do a better Job, if
they want to, by trying out an expert
ment-the suppression of the numbers,
totaled, after the races. I'd like to see
them try it. Certainly it can do no
harm"
Mr.. Prettyman pointed out that
only one radical change is suggested
in the bill which will be introduced
in the next Congress, the same bill,
practically, that passed the Senate
last March. That change, however,
would enable the police Ito put their
fingers" Immediately on the big

"the possession of any tickets,

heart of the evil. At present, police

tons.

the parents had wholly failed to pro-
vide these necessities. The father
earned a wretched wage and the
mother went out to do days work to
piece out the family income. Mar
garet was left at home under the ne

of taking care of her two little

covery at all and she was miserably

.R|TCH|E HOLDS UP
FUSION DECISION
Says He Must Get Opinion
Before Issuing County
Commissions. ~
By a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

BY staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, November IL
Gov. Ritchie announced this after
noon that he would seek an opinion
from Attorney General william
Preston Lane, jr, before replying to
.the request of Fusion leaders of
Montgomery County that he issue
commissions Immediately to the sue
cessful candidates to the; county
board.
AS the Attorney General was out of
town this afternoon, Mr.. Ritchie said
he would be unable to get his opinion
before Monday, the day on which
Commissioner John B. Diamond of
Montgomery County is scheduled to
throw the county commissioner re-
turns of the second district into court
by petitioning for a recount.
Usual Procedure Cited.
: Gov. Ritchie said the usual pro-
icedure is to record the returns from
all the counties and then send out
the commissions at once. IT, as he
expects, this system is followed this
year, the commissions to Montgomery
and the rest of the counties will go
out the latter part of next week, he
said.
The Executive declared he had not
heard of the proposed recount until
he received the FuSionists' letter, and
added that he saw no reason, because
of the threatened court procedure, to
,change his regular method of issuing
commissions. He will be guided, how
.ever, by the advice of the Attorney
General, Mr.. Ritchie said.
AS representatives of the successful
county Fusion commissioner candi-
dates, the law firm of Peter g. Simp-
son wrote the Governor yesterday
asking him to issue commissions i'm
mediately to Paul M. Coughlan,
Frank H. Karn and Charles E. King,
so the three could take over the
management of the county at once.
The letter termed the threatened
court action as IAN attempt to delay
the induction of the F'usionists into
office. 1t pointed out that, in the
opinion of the writer's, the Governor
was required under the law to issue
the commissions as soon as he received
the returns from Montgomery County.
1t said that, should the Governor
fail to comply with the FuSionists' re-
quest, they would petition the court
for writ of mandamus compelling
him to issue the commissions at once.

THREATEN STRIKE
Board Hears of "Discrimi-

Continued From First Page.)

come when we can endure no more
from the recalcitrant minority among
the manufacturers.
I'VE spent the entire morning today
in conference with the Textile Labor
Board and as result we believe there
is a better general understanding be-
tween the board and ourselves.
I'VE informed the board there was
great danger of renewed strike action
because of the prevalence of discrimi-
nation against former strikers by a
group Of mills numbering at least 200.
We were given most sympathetic
hearing by the board. What its action
will be is something that will have to
be announced by the board, but can
say that we shall at once file COM
plants against specific mills with a
request for public hearing.
In our first request for hearing we
shall name perhaps a half dozen mills
and possibly more, selecting the worst
cases of discrimination and eviction.
These complaints will go to the board
"ANAA Wiz dooCA I1Oll JIldI lIE
stands ready to produce witnesses in
person to prove every count in the
complaint"
German declared that I'VE mean
business" and continued:
Discrimination has got to end. 1t
must be borne in mind-and we are
sure the board bears it in mind
that determinations are in violation
Of the Presidents prescription for
ending the strike. The union took
the Presidents terms as virtually
mandatory upon the union, and the
union intends to see to it, one way
or another, that they become manda-
tory upon the industry"
Praises Some Mills.
German paid tribute to mill own
ers who had complied with official
recommendations through which the
general strike was terminated, and
said majority of the mills had re-
employed strikers without diScrimina-
ton.
Some Of these fair employers" he
added. "have pleaded with their own
recalcitrant minority to change tao
tics but to no avail"
Meanwhile, there developed a posi-
bility of sectional conflict among
manufacturers over the N. r. A.
codes for the textile industries.
Southern manufacturers were report
ed contemplating a vigorous demand
for a wider wage differential between
northern and southern mills while
Representative Edith Nourse Rogers
Republican of Massachusetts, was
pressing recommendation that wage
differentials be eliminated and south
ern manufacturers be compelled to
raise their wages to northern levels.
