Cubs Must Get Pitching
To Show More in 1910.

That left all the pressure work
on the shoulders of the old color
sergeant, Charley Root. who keeps
getting no younger year after year
In other words, the Cubs need
pitching. They could use a solid
shortstop. And, even with Med
wick insleft, their outfield falls short
of the old Hooper-Speaker-Lewis
standard, as whose doesn't?
This all constitutes a problem as
old as trouble between managers
and owners is old. A bail club, once
strong, begins to crumble in spots,
and requirements are not ready
The owner, misjudging the evidence,
believes that all he needs is a little
more hustle out there, little more
drive, some new faces, no matter
who wears them.
The manager, knowing better, does
not like to admit that he can't work
miracles with what he's got. I think
personally that Gabby will be guilty
OF miracle if the Cubs win next
year, even with Medwick. It's sad
TO see this great campaigner in
such a spot
But, as long as the world remem-
bers that he was great campaigner,
why should Gabby worry? In his
time. he's done enough good work
for three guys.

Big Wind , After Calm,
Plays Havoc With
Potomac Sailors
Horbor Police Kept Busy
Fishing Competitors
From Muddy Water
By MALCOLM LAMBORNE. Jr.

Race officials of the Potomac
River Sailing Association were to
meet this afternoon at the Capital
Yacht Club in an attempt to re-
schedule events in their fall series
which yesterday afternoon was all
but blown from the Wave-capped
Potomac when a fleet of 50 boats
took the severest beating of its six
years.
Although an accurate count of the
number of boats that were rescued
after capslzing in 30-mile north
westerly was not obtainable, officials
and police believed approximately
Is yachts sent their shippers and
crews into the muddy river.
Harbor Police Busy.
The harbor police made four res
cues as the boats started to go over
like so much chaff, while contest
ants, pleasure craft and the COM
mittee boat went to the aid Of many
others. Aside from broken spars,
torn sails, lost rudders and equip
ment, there were no injuries re-
ported.
Among those to receive duckings
were Joe Smith, 1t. j. A. A1ger. Ben
Minor, Carroll Carter. Albert S.
Greever, Charles M. Trammell. jr.;
DR.. Richard L. Jackson, John Sway
zer and Herbert Mueller.
Opening with the first race of a
double-header. Yesterday mornings S
event was postponed nearly an hour
while the record-breaking fleet
waited hopefully for a breeze. 1t
finally came up light out of the
north. Judge Prentice Edrington
and his sloop, Lady Avon. led a fleet
of ten 20-footers, covering the smile
course in l hour 5 minutes and 80
seconds.
Close on the stern of Lady Avon
throughout the tWo-lap circuit

Trailing in third position for near

by Gushing and Clarke Daniel, nosed
into the lead of the comet division

for clocking those boats fortunate
enough to finish.

ley of Mount Rainier Md, Of the
$3.50 prize for high game in the first
5-game block.
The cruX of the situation was
this: Hugh, after rolling high game
of les for the first block, failed to
finish the second block after rolling
two games. Officials running the
event claimed he forfeited his right
to the prize by not completing the
entire block.
They based their opinion on the
tact that had Crawley completed his
entire 10 games he would have
stood more than a fair chance of
winning major prize, which would
have made him ineligible to receive
the consolation prize award.
Hugh Quit when he didn't think
the officials should have allowed
bowlers who rolled in the first squad
of the first block to roll in the sec
ond squad of the second block.
Recently The Star printed in its
bowling column that Hugh SEEM
AlciN 4idd J yASll4loOlC SNud"H lis
contention was supported by George
L. 1semann, executive secretary of
the National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress and an authority on the mat
ter. Isemann ruled that had Craw-
ley rolled only one game and that
game happened to be high for the
5-game block, he should have COL
lected the prize.
Last week Hugh received a letter
from Jimmy stating he was sorry
the situation arose. and included in
the letter was money order for
$3.50.
Wallace Explains Stand.
The Star also received a letter
from Jimmy in which he stated that
he didn't want to be made a goat
over the affair and that he agreed
with Hugh in regards to boWlers
rolling out of turn and that some
rule should be made to stop this
practice
Wrote Jimmy in part: There are
no rules governing sweepstakes that
require bowler to roll in the same
squad in which he started. 1t has
been done before and nobody has
protested. l absolutely think that
Hugh was correct, but also l think
he should have completed his 10
games. He is entitled to his entrance
fee back, but not for his high single
game"
Questioned again last night Ise-
mann stated that it is not likely the
N. B. c. will pass rule to prevent
a bowler from changing squads in
different blocks unless the congress
executives wanted to take & firm
stand on the proposition.
He said: Where 1t isn't the best
form of conducting sweepstakes and
the boWlers themselves should take
cognizance of the fact, oft times it
has benefited out-of- town bowlers
where the event is held. Some
boWlers are alley managers or assist
ants and prepare just in time to roll
in the last squad of a first shift.
Sometimes they ask to roll in the
first squad in the second shift in
order to get back to their jobs or a
bowler may have to catch an early
train home

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 23.-The
Southern Conference championship
race begins in earnest this week end
when Dukes Blue Devils, one of
the strongest beaten elevens in the
country, meet Wake Forests high
scoring club which has come a long
way since the early season drubbing
by North Carolina.
The Dukes will be favored but an
upset would not be too surprising to
close followers Of the old rivals.
Wake Forest has an advantage in
that the Deacons have been able to
point ahead to the Duke game all
month while the Blue Devils have
been concentrating on the inter-
sectional clashes with Colgate, Pitt
and Syracuse.
Deacons Have Big Total.
The Deacons have rolled up an
impressive total of 100 points against
43 for the opposition in six con-
tests and have whipped two loop
rivals, South Carolina and North
Carolina State. Duke opened with
26-6 decision over Davidson before
going to battle on the intersectional
front.
Sharing the spotlight with this
encounter at home will be unde-
feated North Cardinals invasion of
Pennsylvania for clash with a DO
tent Quaker squad which has bowled
over La Fayette, Yale and Harvard
in a row. The Tar Heels got off
to an early lead in the conference
race with decisions over the Citadel,
Wake Forest and Virginia Tech,
then jumped into the national pic
ture by trouncing New York U. and
tying Tulane.
Three other games affecting the
loop standings will find Furman at
Davidson, the Citadel at Richmond,
and Virginia Tech and Washington

Meanwhile, the Wake Forest back
field took complete control of the
scoring competition in the confer
ence with John Polanski, sopho-
more fullback, setting the pace.

he shelled out 500 to the winners
of the Laurel Handicap Sweepstakes
at the Queen Pin and took a $50 loss
approximately so entrants paid 81 As

to the cost of games rolled.
But undismayed the veteran bowl

day and Sunday at Takoma, where
he has scheduled the third annual

Much in the same manner as

cleanly knocked down five pins on

No Sentimental Offer

There's a theory in circulation
that Mr.. Breadon and his hench-
man, Branch Hickey, feel they owe
the Cubs something because they
diddled Mr.. Wrigley in the sale of
Dizzy Dean two years ago This is
doubtful. For one thing, the Cardi-
nal statesmen did not unload the
famous gift (S185,OO0) hoss upon Mr..
Wrigley without giving him ample
opportunity to study Dizzy's dental
plate. Several Chicago scientists
went over Diz from base to summit
before recommending him as buy
For another thing, Mr.. Breadon
and Mr.. Hickey are not sentimental
enough to take low bid for Med
wick just because they feel sorry for
Mr.. Wrigley The Cubs will have
to give plenty in cash and ivory for
Joe if they want him in Chicago
rather than Brooklyn, N. Y, or
Cincinnati.
MedWick would help the Cubs,
but, frankly. they need more than
that, and l don't doubt for minute
that Mr.. Hartnett knows it. With
Bill Lee passing much of his sum-
mer in the doldrums. the Cub pitch
ing looked bad. Mr.. Wrigley traded
brilliant prospect, Kirby Higbe, to
get quick relief in the form Of

Hurtnett Put on Spot
By Cub Purge Order
BY JOHN LARDNER.

special Correspondent OF Inc SlAl.
NEW YORK, Oct. % (N.A.NA.).-
When Mr.. P. K. Wrigley demanded
q shakeup, a housecleaning, a new
deal, sweeping reorganization
among his Chicago Cubs, the dis
patches say that Gabby Hartnett
obliged him with what amounted to
. revolution-he gave Jack Russell
and Earl Whitehill their uncondi-
tional release.
This is like F. D. Roosevelt, in the
face of demand that he purge and
shake up his administration, obtain
ing waivers on Ebert j. Rootbeer,
fourth assistant stenographer in the
alfalfa branch OF the Department of
Agriculture.
In other words, the Cub purge
must be stopped before it extends to
the batboy and the batting practice
pitcher. Hartnett appears to have
lost his head. Mr.. Wrigley seems to
be mad with power. Before you
know it, the Cubs will swing deal
for a new groundkeeper and the
public never will recognize the ball
club which took fourth place by
storm this year when third place
seemed to be the best they could do
Ousted Ancient Mariners
At End Of Strings.
Kidding to one Slde-pOrt or star
board, take your choice-the purging
of Whitehill and Russell, youngsters
of 80 and IS respectively, was really
about the only purging Mr.. Hart
nett could manage on such short
notice. Mr.. Hartnetts instructions
were purge or be purged,' and
Gabby, looking hastily around him,
purged the two fairly ancient mar
liners for the very practical reason
that he didn't think they would be
much use to him next year any
way.
Having averted a self-purge for
the time being and gained time to
repair his ball club, Gabby probably
will settle down to serious purging
before many weeks have elapsed. Not
only will he purge, but here and
there he will take on help. The
Cubs make no secret of the fact that
the Wrigley pen is poised over the
Wrigley checkbook against the mo-
ment when Joseph Muscles Med
wick of st. Louis becomes a member
of the open market.
The Cubs also covet big John
Mize, Medwick's associate. but unless
he plans to disband his hopeful
ball club and take up stoat-farming,
Mr.. Sam Breadon, Cardinal presi-
dent, hardly will peddle big John.

Piano Music Story
Told in Recitals

Norman Frauenheim will inaugu-
rate a series of six historical re-
citals with comments on the history
of music for the piano from the
Italian Renaissance through De-
busy.
The first recital will cover the
18th and 18th centuries, beginning
with the English virginalists of the
time of Queen Elizabeth and the
10Th century organists of Italy, fol-
lowed by the composers of the reign
of Louis XIV in France and the
later Italians. Mr.. Frauenheim will
use an old English virginia. to dem
onstrate the EliZabethan music and
will trace the evolution of keyboard
instruments throughout the course.
The examples will be commented
upon by Mr.. Frauenheim.
The recitals will take place on
Friday mornings at the Arts Club
at II o'clock, beginning next Friday,
February 10.
