In Club competition, Kream and Kow herded Fish and Game into a 10-2 defeat. Ed Prather’s pitching for Kream and Kow was too much for the .-Fish and Game crew to over comfe.

A ONE-JACKET MAN, NOW DENVER -LD— Dr. H. C. Cprlsoh, veteran Pittsburgh basket ball coach, was 1 in fine form when his Panthers dropped a one-point decision to Denver University. He tosaed a player’s jacket and several towels into the air and once the officials yuled he was so obstreperous they called a tech nical foul. i ' However, after the gume, "Chip per Charleyf’ Hyatt,, former Pitt star, greeted his bid coach with: "You’ve really • slipped, Doc.

Last year’s pessimism was well founded, because the Cubs wound up deep in the cellar, 27% games behind the pennant winning Bos ton Braves. Manager Charlie Grimm looks for a vast improvement and, in a fit of fancy, says his 1949 , Bruins might even edge into tke first division. He is pretty well pleased with his infield. He thinks it will be stronger. He likes his outfield and his catching is strong. Improved pitching prospects are the main reason for the renewed (BWinlUL ; * I THUMBNAIL PREVIEW Chicago Cubs Hitting—Prospects Good Pitching—Improved Catching—Good Infield—Sound Outfield—Fine Finish—Sixth It may be a little premature to shout, but the two big surprises have been two veterans. One is the hard luck hurleti of the Phila delphia Phillies, knuckle-bailer Emil (Dutch) Leonard, the distin guished Belgian, and—hold on— Mort Cooper, former idol of the St. Louis Cardinals. Of the two, Leonard, 12-17'last year with ap earned run average of 2.17, is probably the least gam ble. He’s bound to win. a few for the Cubs. Cooper, however, is seemingly not only making a conscientious comeback attempt, but his arm has surprised and delighted the entire camp. Physically he looks like the Cooper of 1942-43 . Johnny Schmitz, the lefthander whose 18-13 achievements led the staff last year, should have anoth er fine year. Walt Dubiel, another fugitive from the Phillies; Doyle Lade, Bob Chipman and Reliefers Jess Dobernic and Emil Kush, plus late starting Bob McCall, are the main hopes. Of the freshmen, De wey Adkins, a 17-game winner with Los Angeles, looks capable.

The Cub infield—Phil.Cavarretta Emil Verban, Roy Smally, Frankie Gustine—looks sound. Andy Pafko, Hal Jeff coat, Peanuts Lowrey, Harry Walker, Clarence Maddern and Rookie Cliff Abexson, make up the outfield talent. One will have to go. Veteran Bob Scheffinj will be the top catcher assistec by A1 Walker. Forrest Burgess of Nashville and Carl Sawatski from Des Moines are scrambling for the extra place.
