HARTNETT SAYS
 THIS SEASON IS ] TO BE HIS BEST
Has Mapped Out His Plans Would Catch 100 or
 More Games for Cubs

CHICAGO, Jan. 18. = Manager Gabby Hartnett of the Chicago Cubs went into huddle today with Player Hartnett of the Cubs and from the conference came Gabby's prediction that he will catch 100 or more games for the National League champions next summer
 I'm going to try and hit that hundred mark again" he said, "and I'll do it if the old batting eye holds out. Tn my mind. the question mark is my hitting. I'm not worried about my arms or legs, even though I'm going on thirty mine and it will be my eighteenth season in the majors. can still throw and can still get around-well, at least as well as I have during the last few years. So if I can hit that ball I'll stay in there"
 Gabby Frets
 For sixteen seasons, Gabby had a lifetime batting average of 300 and his drop to .278 for last season troubles him no little. However, he slammed ten homers and drove in fifty- mine runs while playing in only eighty-eight games. The thumb frac- ture he suffered in August kept him from setting a new record of l0O- game catching in twelve seasons.
 One thing Gabby worried about last year apparently won't be back to give him the jitters in 1889. Re- placing Ken O'Dea as No. l substi- ute next season will be the veteran Gus Mancuso, with young Bob Gar bark ready to fill in when necessary. With those relief men, Gabby's mind should be more at ease than it was last season
 Should Hartnett attain his goal of catching 100 games and Pitcher Dizzy Dean stage comeback, the Cubs are certain to have banner

DEEP, DARK SECRET


 Ordinarily such projects are kept hidden in secret files and only con- municated even to Congress on de- mand.
 This report was compiled especi- ally for Congress as requested in the billion dollar naval bill of last ses- sion.
 During the summer a thorough study of need was made, submitted by Admiral Hepburn, chairman of the board, to Secretary Swanson of the Navy, and by him relayed to the President.
 From him it came to the desk of Speaker Bankhead about 10 days before the session opened. There it lay awaiting converting of Con- gress, when the House Naval Af- fairs Committee was to study it.
 It was marked confidential with a red naval seal. But the letter of transmittal accompanying the report was tightly affixed to the cover page, completely hiding the confidential" seal. A few reporters knew of the existence of the report, and an Associated Press reporter, Reg Ingraham, kept it foremost. in mind.
 The second day of Congress he checked on it and learned that it had been routinely transmitted to the bill clerk to be made public at once. The confidential seal had remained hidden.

(Checkers)." Perusing the article.
you find that Banks has Travelled
over 100000 miles in the United
States. Canada, Mexico and Europe,
that he played over 100000 games of
chess and checkers and 10000 Of
these were played blindfold.
Banks says that chess is played
the same in every part of the world
except China and Japan. where the
game is more complicated. Check.
ers is known as draughts in Europe
Concerning the superiority Of
either, Banks is evasive. turning the
blade of decision by declaring both
chess and draughts are as deep
and scientific as human intelli-
gence and that both will continue to
test our powers for centuries to
come"
According to Banks, a chess posi-
ton is easier to size up. but the
game has not been as exhaustively
explored as checkers. Also, in chess
a player may specialize in one type
of opening as Rubinstein. who
played l. P-Q4 invariably. But in
checkers player has to have a
wide repertoire of openings; to ex-
eel he keeps 10000 to $4,000 varia-
tions and principles in his head
tthe average player some 5000
variations.
Checkers is 80 per cent
memory, 20 per cent intuition;
chess precisely the reverse"
Memory is mans greatest as
set in life" he says. Without
memory genius cannot exist; it
is the key. Even in chess it is
memory as much as anything
else which raises a master
above his fellow players"
To the question that 1 know is
paramount in your mind-from
which game does the worlds great
est exponent of simultaneous chess
and checkers derive most fun?-
comes this amazing statement from

according to most Of the runners
who expressed an opinion. The
humping had nothing to do with it,
they claimed. Wooderson was fad
ing. anyway, and the rest of the
faeld was about to pass him.
cunningham and the rest Just
used the little fellow for a sucker"
explained Eulace Peacock, colored,
former sprint star for Temple.
They let Wooderson get out in
front and set his own pace. 1t was
smart thinking on the part of those
boys, especially Cunningham and
Fenske, who stayed right behind
him. They let Wooderson check the
wind for them and while he isn't
very big it helped while it hurt
him."
"A new record was put out of the
question when the leader, Wooder-
son, was clicked at 64 seconds for
the first quarter. The Britisher had
counted on doing so or 81, but it
was plain the wind was cutting
down the time.
Almost forgotten during the COM
motion and the questions of what
happened?" was Fenske. The dark
haired, also bespectacled lad from
West Allis, Wis, ran a smart race
For sometime the young man has
been regarded as a coming miller
and today it looked as If he had
arrived
Woody Sorely Disappointed.
When the field turned into the
home stretch it was Fenske who
had the best kick Cunningham s
was good and SO was that of Sam
Romani. The failure of Rideout to
"kick-in" came as no great sur
prise. Blaine is a good miller, but
has not been noted for his kick
1t was the failure of Wooderson
in the stretch that surprised. Sgd
ney was supposed to have the best
kick in track, but he didn't bring
1t along today.
After the race Wooderson was
spirited away from newspapermen
He didn't dress with the other &c
runners and was not to be found
by most of those who would question
him. Obviously the little chap with
the long nose and the black running
suit was disappointed. He had run
the mile in 4:06.4 in London and
had pointed for this meet for a
year. He was calmly confident be-
fore the race and not only seemed
to count on victory, but also on
new record over this track which
is rated the fastest outdoor racing
strip in the world.
After his race today, Fenske be-
came the new No. l miller of the
world. He isn't a big chap, Fenske
He stands only feet 9'4 inches
and weighs only 148 pounds. He
plays no other sports, except an oc-
casional social game of tennis.
Fenske No Long Shot.
He has been running a mile since
1888, when he was in high school,
In his last five meetings with Cum
ningham he has beaten the old
master in four of them. No long
shot was Fenske. If Wooderson was
to be beaten, according to most
experts, Chuck was the fellow to
do 1t.
