What Herr Graham proposed
to do with the greatest of ease,
if just one rookie lives up to his
Scrapbook, is win the National
League pennant. Last season the
Cubs finished second, three games
behind the New York Giants.
TONY PUZZLES FANS
The rockies are five in num-
Der, there are five men back for
another trial, and two wizened
veterans.
The status of Anthony M. Laz-
zeri. late of the Yankees, is a
matter of mystery to Northside
fans. With no complaints concern

never been made exactly clear
just what Tony's duties will be,
aitho Ugh it is generally bruited
about he is to be a member of
the Cubs brain trust, along with
Grimm and Gabby Hartnett-a
majority vote to rule.
With the addition Of a few
unproven newcomers, Grimm has
just what he had last year, with
the exception of Utility Infielder
Linus Frey, dispatched to Cincin-
natl.
LINEUP STANDS
The st. Louis farmer and ban.
joist is expected to make no
change in his lineup of starting
pitchers-Jim Carleton (won l6,
lost 81, Curt Davis won 10, lost
81, Larry French (won 16, lost
100, and Bill Lee (won IA, lost
15). For relief work, spots and
other chores, he has Clay Bryant
(won 9, lost 81, Parmelee (won Z,

saved Grimm's hide when the
throwing staff was riddled by in
juries last Spring, wound up
the season with 13 wins, 5 losses

an earned-run average of 3.37.
And Clyde Shoun (won Z, lost y.
Charles Leo Hartnett who, de-
spite the weight of years and much
avoirdupois caught 110 games last
season, has his big Irish heart
set on catching another hundred
this year, his thirty-eighth. He
pacd the Cub hitters with 1854
and led in runs batted in-32. His
first assistant will be Ken O'Dea,
who caught SO games last season
and proved an able and satisfying
workman.
QUESTIONS UNANSWERED
There is some question about
the right side of the infield.
Grimm has said he will pit Phil
Cavarretta, turned into the out
field to Craze last season with no
conspicuous success, against jim
my Collins for the first base job.
But James Anthony's value to the
Cubs was learned the hard way
last fall when a broken ankle took
him out of the lineup as the Cubs
went down the stretch with a
fighting chance for top honors.
Stan Hack is a fixture at third,
Herman at second, and Bill
Jurges at short. They hit .297,
1886, and 298, respectively.
The easiest spot to break into
would seem to be the outfield,
where George Tucker Stainback
has consistency failed to justify
the clubs confidence he has hid
den talents. Frank Demaree and
Augie Galan appear to be all set.

Can he pack weight?
The time of the Santa Anita

Gallant Try

The record of the race estah-
fishes the heart of Stagehand.
He moved resolutely up from
ninth position until he roared
down the stretch to pass Pom
poon and the hard striving
Sea biscuit.
The last quarter mile, in
which none but the Stoutest
hearts survive was a saturnalia
of pounding hoofs, whirling
bats as the jockeys coaxed the
last ounce from their mounts,
and flashing silks. Those last
yards of turf, as Seabiscuit tried
to redeem his defeat of last year
by Rosemont. will stand as a
desert of blighted hopes to
Charles S. Howard and to the
son of Hard Tack Carrying
13O pounds, Seabiscuit found the
task beyond him, if only by a
nose.
Can Stagehand beat War
Admiral? If you accept the
verdict of the watch alone. you
would make an affirmative
answer. War Admirals time on
Saturday was 2:03 As, or two
and one-fifth seconds slower
than Stagehand's performance
for the same distance. A race
horse in full stride can cover a
lot of ground in two and one
fifth seconds.
Much Faster?
But wait a minute. Stage
hand carried only 100 pounds,
and War Admiral carried 1870
pounds at the championship dis
tance. Moreover, War Admiral
could have run that race lot
faster.
How much faster, you ask?
I don't know, but War Admiral
conservatively was ten lengths
faster than anything in his
field. Hurried by Charlie Kurt
singer, his veteran rider. War
Admiral ran the first eighth of
a mile in IL seconds to take the
lead on the rail. On the back
stretch when Zevson challenged,
Kurtsinger clucked a warning
to the Admiral, and away he
went under forced draught
again.
In five strides, it seemed. he
gained five lengths. and then
settling to steady rate of
speed, moved along to win as he
pleased.
War Admiral's smashing tri-
umph at beautiful Hialeah Park,
and Stagehand's soul stirring
victory over Seabiscuit in the
Santa Anita. combine to set at
rest a rivalry which for a period
showed signs of becoming bit
ter.
Charles S. Howard. owner of
Seabiscuit, was certain his colt
could take the measure of War
Admiral.
Appl0uds Victory
If he still holds that opinion
he holds it alone.
The whole world applauds
the victory of War Admiral, but
one of his most sincere ad
mirerS is Thomas j. Healey, who
once trained some of the great
est stables of the turf, and who
saddled 'ratterdemalion for the

President Proud
|Of Prediction
Ion Election

President Roosevelt laid further
claims today to being a pretty
good" political prognosticator, dis
closing for the first time the pre-
dictions which he had made and
sealed in an envelope soon after
going to his Hyde Park home the
middle of last week.
He figured the results in New
York State, the President revealed
at his press conference, just about
the way they came out
He was wrong by one on Senate
races, he said, having predicted the
loss of seven Democratic seats,
whereas the Republicans actually
gained eight.
AS for the House results, Mr..
Roosevelt said he was less than 20
seats off on his prediction, since he
had figured the Democrats would
suffer a net loss of IS seats. The
actual Republican pickup was 81,
with one race still doubtful.
The President said he had made
no prediction on gubernatorial con-
tests.
Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to enjoy
telling about his prognostication,
saying he thought he had proved
himself better election guesser
than a lot of the newspapermen
gathered about him at the time.
1t has been the Presidents habit
on the eve of elections to write down
his predictions and seal them in an
envelope. When asked today how
he had come out, he replied with a
laugh, Very good"

Appointment OF District Com
missioner to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of George E. Allen
is expected soon. now that the elec-
tions are over and the President is
back in Washington.
President Roosevelt has received
the names of more than 100 men
and women available for appoint
ment. but he has had little time to
consider them.
The same situation is true in the
case of the three remaining new
United States judgeships for the
District. For the one additional
United States Circuit Court and the
three United States District Court
posts, only one appointment, that of
Bolitha j. Laws, local attorney, to
one of the latter has been made.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been so absorbed
in other matters that he has given
virtually no thought to the appoint
ments.
AS a consequence, he has been
having his lieutenants study the
background and individual qualif1ca-
tions of the many aspirants so when
the President does turn his atten-
ton to this task, the long list will
have been greatly reduced by process
of elimination.

Two Civil Air Lines
By the Associated Press


LONDON, Nov. 11.-Air Minister
Sir Kingsley Wood told the House of
Commons today that the govern
ment was planning to take over
Britain's two major civil air lines,
Imperial Airways and British Air
ways, and fuse them into a single
corporation.
In a brief, 15-minute session, Sir
Kingsley said such a course would
be a most satisfactory instrument
for developing our overseas civil
aviation communications.
Observers linked the announce
ment with new air force rearma-
ment drive announced by the min
lister yesterday-when he said that
next years air force expenditures
would rise to s200 100000 (s1 600, ,00o,-
00O-although Sir Kingsley himself
did not indicate it was so connected.
He added an independent tribunal
would determine the price to be paid
if an agreement on this point could
not be reached with the two COM
panies.
