Sheehan will supervise the camp,
and will be assisted by a staff of
experienced baseball managers and
coaches, headed by Larry Gilbert,
manager of the Nashville Southern
Association club, who is famed as
possibly the greatest developer of
young baseball players in the coun-
try.
Transportation to Lake Worth

players living expenses in Lake

Only returned war veterans,
signed to contracts of one of the

salia, Cal. Cubs, Hutchinson, Kans
Cubs, Statesville, N. c. Cubs, Eliza
bethton, Tenn. Cubs, Evansville

Sheehan, who has been develop
ing plans for the camp for two
years, believes it will accomplish
two purposes helpful to the re-
turned veterans. First, it will en-
able the boys to get back into base
ball playing condition so they can
compete on even terms or better
with other players in Spring train
ing and the regular season, and sec
ond, it will give players who en-
tered service from lower classified
ton clubs chance to show whether
they have advanced in playing
skill during the intervening years
sufficiently to deserve promotion to
higher-classification clubs" Shee-
han says.
"The Cubs" Sheehan adds, real
ize their future strength lies in the
cradle of baseball, their minor
league clubs, and feel that those
minor leaguers who sacrificed much
in baseball way, in serving their
country are entitled to better than
an even chance to pick up where
they left off or start higher"

how to handle himself out there on

to be a pretty good set shot, and

Basketball is the only major

which is purely of American origin.
All other games are direct impor-

DIR. James A. Naismith created
basketball while he was a physical

Basketball first was played with

Treaders Break
Their Losing Streak
Beat Army War College, 1923.
To Meet Harrisburg Quint On
Sunday.
BY Joe Snyder

Ludwig's Treaders made their be-
lated entry into the win column last
Sunday on the Armory floor, when
they defeated weak Army War
College team, out of Washington, by
a 1923 score. The District boys
certainly weren't the top-notch ser
vice club advance notices would lead
you to believe, and as result the
Treaders experienced little difficulty
in turning back the soldiers by lop-
sided score. In the first half the To-
Gals didn't look much better; their
password wasn't clicking and time
and again they missed easy peep
shots under the basket Once they
found the range in the final half,
though, they couldn't be stopped,
and from then on it wasn't much
of a contest.
The first half saw one team and
then the other forge. to the front,
neither for very long at time. The
Treaders were clearly the better ball
club, however, and it was only the
sensational casting of Coates that
kept the visitors in the ball game
The scrappy center brought the slim
crowd to its feet time and time again
with one-hand shots from way out,
and when the half ended the scorer
had credited him with IA of his
teams 20 points. The Ludwiggers,
meanwhile, had sent 10 field goals
and two free losses through the hoop
to give them a slim 2-point lead
Henry and Muster Star
With Mel Henry and Johnny Mus
ter leading the way, the Treaders
opened up an attack on the cords in
the third quarter that continued I'M
abated for the remainder Of the
game. At the same time Mel and
the boys frightened up their defense,
holding the soldier boys to single
bucket from the field and one from
the charity line during the entire
half.
The Treaders presented three new
faces to the fans, and all three
showed to good advantage. In
Johnny Muster, the club has found
a fellow who's going to be mighty
hard to GUST from the pivot position.

And when these fellows team up
with Coach Mel Henry, Vic Barn

BEHIND
HOME PLATE
BY DOUG STEWART

Hats off to the Army football
squad for their magnificent win
over Navy, and hats off to a great
Navy eleven, who, although they
lost the annual encounter, proved
themselves to be champions too.
Set back on their heels in the
first quarter, the boys from Annap-
oils came ROARING back to more
than hold their own the rest of the
way and, while there is no denying
now that the Army eleven is the
greatest collegiate football team in
the country, do believe that the
Navy team runs them a close sec
ond.
The biggest upset of the football
season Collegiate or professionally
was the stunning defeat of the Phil
adelphia Eagles on Sunday. Lead
ing by comfortable 21-point mar
gin in the third quarter, they sud-
denly found themselves showed
under by savage New York Giant
offensive that scored four touch
downs (three of them in eight min
utes).
While it was almost a knockout
blow to the Eagles championship
hopes, it proved very conclusively
that the previous weeks Eagle win
over the Redskins (Which threw the
two teams into tie for first place.
was really on the up-and-up, and
not, as some people supposed
played with one eye on a playofi
for the Eastern Division champion
ship and the resultant big gate.
That win of the Giants over the
Eagles proved very conclusively
that professional football is abso,
lutely on the level.
And talking of upsets, what about
that Great Lakes win over Notre
Dame on Saturday. 1t took my mind
back a couple of years to that Satur-
day afternoon in the fall of 1913
when another Great Lakes eleven
in the last game of the season, robbed
Notre Dame of an unbeaten season
That's a swell plan that Jack
Sheehan, head of the Chicago Cubs
extensive farm system, has worked
out, to give ex-service ball players
belonging to any Of their clubs, the
opportunity to train in Florida (see
full story elsewhere on this page)

, AS an added attraction, two of the newly arrived men of the Eighth Air Force put on fast three round setto. Danny Jovosik, the 9th AAF middleweight cham pion, faced Johnny Krusik and neither man looked as if he had just made the trip from Europe. Jovosik showed a fine left jab with which he kept his opponent tied up nicely, while Krusik let go a score of hard rights to the chin and body which would have put a less finely conditioned man away for keeps.
 Novelty of the evening was bag punching exhibition given by Charley Wosilis and his young son, Chuck. The senior Wosilis gave neat demonstration of the use of fists, forearms and elbows and then both father and son put on blindfold bag punching exhibition.
 Bull Curry, 21O lbs, opened the show with decisive win over Ray Hansen, 200 lbs., in a wrestling ex- hibition. Curry, one of the leading contenders for the heavyweight wrestling title, has demonstrated his ability before at Bradley Field and has fast become favorite with the CT fans.
