The present stadium is the team’s fourth home. In 1885, the “White Stockings,” as the. Cubs were then known, moved to ‘the “growing - westside” i and aro the new diamond was erected the first brick wall to enclose a baseball park. \ s Another move was made in 1893 and the stands then would accom- modate all of 6,000 fans.

Since the close of the season, a great many fans have asked me that | estion. Going ack over the 22 years I have spent. in the majors, such @ query would or- dinarily prove a rather tough one, yet I doubt if the question of the two outstanding first year youngsters was ever more clearly defined than las! season. I fe no hesi- -tancy in saying the most valuable youngster in the National: League was Lioyd Waner of the Pittsburgh .Pirates. Pitcher Wilcey Moore of the Yankees as- sumed a similar role in the Amer- ican League. From Same League It is a rather strange coincidence that these two players, the outstand- ing stars of the majors, should grad- uate into fast. company from the same minor lea; During 1926, with the Columbia team of the South Atlantic League. Waner batted .345 for the season, right up among the leaders. To me the most remark- able thing about his play was the fact that he enjoyed a great year, sithough a member of a hopeless tajiender, Cclumbia finished last with a per- sent>ge of '.274, practically 400 Pe from the champi below the mark of the club inished seventh in the race. Waner Handicapped The above figures will give you some idea of what a bad team Waner played on and what a handicap he ‘worked under. It takes a real player, one who.loves the game, to keep stepping’ at top speed when his team isn’t going anywhere. Waner, joining the Pirates in 1927, and getting a chance to play regu- larly after “Kiki” Cuyler jumped over the traces, continued to deliver the same kind of a game in the majors in his first. year as had. featured his debut fi the” minors. He was an important cog’ in the win- ning of the perinant by Pittsburgh. He took part in 150 games and established the wonderful batting, record of .354 in 629 times at bat. Moore Prominent Pana Wilcey Moore ork Was even more the winning. of the mnant by. the Yanks than was. Lloyd Waner in Pittsburgh’s triumph. In ‘his first year in the majors, Moore swept aside all tradition that has clung to first year pitchers and turned in 19 victories while losing only seven ball games. It is con- servative to say that he saved a dozen more: “Thus Wilcey Moote, in his first year, did something that only a few pitchers accomplished over their entire career—made pos- sible the winning of 30 ball games for his team.

He has yet to prove to critical Detroit fans the wisdom of the py which sent two favorites, Lou Blue, first base- man, and Heinie Manush, outfielder, to the Browns, might strengthen an outfield to support his pitchers. But with the acquisition of Harry Rice, outfielder, brought in on the trade that sent Blue and Manush southward, Moriarty believes he has created an outfield that will both hit and field. He is certain Rice will hit better than .300, lead the majors in stealing bases, and speed up the outfield. Throughout the playing season of 1927 there were rumors of complaints from oss pitchers that they were not receiving the proper ort needed in the far corners. With Rice, Harry Heilmann, leading batter of the majors, and Bob “Rhino” Fothergill, Moriarty be- lieves he can present a trio of -hit ters that will cause opposing pitch- told ‘. eee Pick ‘Three Stars g 7 ihe Rll Neetoed also ee oy After nearly six months in which he tried to forget his knockont|Johnny Bassler, veteran catcher an at the hands of Tack De ¥, Jack Sharkey (right) enters the ring again'® Mes od of hab alice | eee at Madison Square Garden, January 13, with Tom -Heeney (left), a:burly |“Rip” Collins, ne jonald Ran, - iy Irishman a oY Aatipodes ie nelal: “2 newly ahscovered Anockont tn return Oe et iteae ‘oon inch.
