MESA, Ariz.. Mar. S (P).-The
Chicago Cubs are hoping that
Bob Speake's bat once again will
speak with the authority it did
last spring when as rookie he
set blistering pace in the
of May.
Speake, who slammed 10 home
runs in May as the Cubs won
20 games and moved into Sec
ond place, is trying to mend a.
batting flaw. After his sensa-
tional start, opposing pitchers
found that Bob's weakness was
a tight inside pitch, and Speake
slumped so badly he finished
the season on the bench.
Manager Stan Hack says
Speake's wrist action is about as
good as that of Ernie Banks, but
Ernie takes a short swing. That
makes him hard to fool. Speake
brings his bat from much farther
back and his margin of error
is just that much bigger"
