LOS ANGELES, March 27-Head-
ing into the last week of their annual
spring sojourn in Southern Califor-
mia. the hustling Chicago Cubs re-
main, in the eyes of this admiring
locality, a solid choice, to win the
National League championship
again.
Peeking into the worry depart
ment of Manager Charles Leo Hart
nett, the biggest problems seem to
hinge around the slightly rheumatic
joints of Shortstop Dick Bartell and
the pitching possibilities of the great
one himself, Jerome Herman Dean.
The Dean matter isn't such a crit
ical problem, at that, for the SIM
pie reason that his ailing arm is no
new development and the success or
failure of the Cubs is not founded
on his ability to come back.
Believes Bartell Okay.
With or without or Diz, Chicago
has a fairly good mound corps,
headed by Gen. Bill Lee, ace of the
circuit in 1888, and fanked by Clay
Bryant. Larry French. Charlie Root,
Relief Pitcher Jack Russell and a
couple of recruits who may prove
of value.
AS for Dirk Bartell, Hartnett be-
lieves he'll be able to take up regular
duty in the inheld, ana if he falters,
Steve Mesner ran fill in Mesner, a
Los Angeles youngster who had a
tryout with the White SoX, has hit
and fielded we'll during Bartells S
absence this spring. He batted .33l
with Indianapolis in 1888. and stead
led by the reliable Stan Hack on
third and Billy Herman at second,
may turn out to be a real find for
the Cubs.
Phil Cavaretta remains Gabby's
first choice at first. although you can
hear lot of argument on why the
slim young Italian gets the call over
Ripper Collins. There's another
Rip" Glen Russell. trying to shove
into the picture, but it looks as
though he'll 60 back for another year
with Los Angeles in the Coast
League.
Outfield Clicking.
Gabby's outfeld has been func-
tioning splendidly to date. Hank
Leiber. in center, hasn't reached bat
ting form, perhaps, but he has been
better than expected in fielding. Joe
Marty, the right fielder, who was
the hero-if there was any-of the
Cub engagement with the Yankees
last fall, has snapped out of a moody
batting streak and appears better
than ever. while Augie Galan like
wise is hitting the ball.
Carl Reynolds and Jimmy Gleason
are the other two outfielders on the
roster. and of the two, Gleeson, the
Kansas City product. who hit .313
with Newark last year, seems to
have an edge.
A young fellow named Hartnett
will be back for the 18th straight
season to handle the catching, but
now that he's the Cub manager you
can look for lot Of work to fall on
capable Gus Mancuso, the Houston
Tex, Adonis.
There you have the Cubs-good
catching, good pitching. good out
field and fine infield if Bartel
stands up or young Mesner fill in
On top of that, the Cubs seem tc
have a lot OF punch and spirit.

Walter Masterson. Bob Garner and
Roberto Ortiz were no balls of fire,
but by the same token they were no
duds. The Mats. in short. lost the
game due to lack of power, rather
than because of lack of pitching.
Masterson, generally ranked the
No. rookie in camp, was a shaky-
kneed youngster as he opened fire.
He gave up three hits in the first
three innings and as many runs.
Garner, who is destined for Char
lotte or Greenville in the near fu-
ture, was no great help, and Ortiz
was tapped for three runs in the
four innings, he worked.
Harris and Griffith were far from
discouraged by the performances OF
Masterson and Ortiz. That kid
Masterson showed me a better curve

worked against the Tigers" said
Harris. HE wasn't as fast, however,

frightened up a little bit. He'll do

him."
Ortiz brought even more lavish
praise from Harris and Griffith. Il

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

We are apt to think of the ground
as the natural place for snakes to
crawl, but some snakes are more
at home in water, or under the
ground, or in trees
On some day in time to come, l
expect to write about the blind
snakes which burrow in the ground.
They are interesting and surely are
worth story, but today 1 want
to tell about the snakes which live
In trees.
A true tree snake" seldom goes
to the ground. 1t crawls about the
limbs and finds its food in the trees.
Snakes of this kind are not of
very large size. Usually they are
not more than 2 to feet long,
though some in India have length
Of 5 feet
The bodies are slender. A 3-foot
tree snake would have no trouble
coiling up its body inside a teacup.
Most of the tree snakes in India
and Ceylon are green with a yellow
stripe running alongside the body.
Their green color matches the
leaves.
Ceylon has tree snake with a
brown body and purple markings.

the bark of the trees in which it
lives.

markings on its dark brown or black
body.
The flying snake cannot really fly,
and cannot even glide very well. It
does, however, have the power to
widen its body by spreading out its
ribs. This is done when the animal
leaps from tree to escape from
an enemy. BY spreading its body,
1t breaks the fall to some extent
and often lands on the ground with
little or no harm to itself.
Tree snakes are found in tropical
parts of the New World, as well as
in Asia. Brazil has tree snakes
which are noted for their bright
colors.
Besides the true tree snakes,
there are snakes of much larger
size which often climb trees. I am
thinking chiefly of the pythons and
their relatives. They have thick
bodies and grow to be Is feet long
or more. Resting on the limb of
tree, python lies in wait for
land animal, such as deer or an
telope, to pass below where it can
be attacked.
