Wilson was charged with the loss.
In Club competition, Kream and

LOS ANGELES— Optimism a-
round the Chicago Cub Camp is
flying sky high this spring in con
trast to 1948.
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

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.
