CHICAGO, Jan, 29.—By The Asso- ciated Press)—Acquistion of three sterling veterans from Pittsburgh, the recovery of a trio of Cub players whose injuries crippled the team last fall and the signing of George Gibson, as coach and assistant man- ager to handle the sixteen pitchers on the club's roster, has boosted the pennant prospects of the Chicago Nationals for the 1925 season, ac- cording to President Willlam Veeck. The three players who came to the Cubs in exchange for George Grantham, second baseman; Vic Aldridge, pitcher, and first baseman Bert Neihaus are Wilbur Cooper, pitcher, “Rabbit” Maranville second ba h Charley Grimm. Grimm plugs the hole at first base for the first time since the passing of Ray Grimes, who was sent to the Pacific Coast with Maranville at the keystone sack and acting as field leader, the infield has a stabi- lity it has not had in recent years. The addition of Cooper gives the services of one of the best south paws in the game. Charles Hollocher, shortstop. 1 last.year, says he will be able to re- turn to his old position this spring. Barney Friberg, third baseman, who suffered a broken leg last season has fully recovered. The Cubs also obtained Clarke A. Pittinger, a rangy infielder from the Coast League and he may be inserted at short or even at third. “Sparky Adams, diminutive shortstop also {s available for the inner defense. Friberg'may be sent to center field. "The other two regulars probably will be Denver Grigsby and Clift Heathcote, Hack Miller and Arnold Etatz will undoubtedly be retained to fill in. Cooper, Grover Alexander, Vie Keen and Tony Kaufamnn, give the Cubs a strong quartet of moundsmen.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—In restor- ing the distance of the annual Poughkeepsie regatta to two miles, the stewards of the Intercollegiate Rowing association may have elimi- nated Wisconsin from this event. And Washington, too. The Badgers withdrew from this regatta after the season of 1913, following a series of medical tests In which it was found that the oarsmen had not re- acted satisfactorily from the strain of rowing. Accordingly, competitive intercollegiate rowing was aban- doned. After the war, the intercollegiate regatta was not resumed until 1920 when a two-mile event was held on| Cayuga Lake. - With the idea of again interesting Wisconsin in this race, which returned to Pough keepsie in 1921 and drawing Prince ton into the event, the stewards set the distance at three, miles, This distance obtained in 1921,| 1922 and last year. It proved at.J tractive to Wisconsin, whose c ¥ came to Poughkeepsie last su and finished second to the Wash! ton eight Princeton authorities steadfastly opposed any 4 over two miles, were not interes in the three mile distance and o this year declined to train their of men for this distance. Whether tho Poughkeepsie stewards haye ordered wisely or not remains to be seen Tho late Charles 1. Courtney, of Cornell, who probably knew about rowing and its pri fects upon oarsmen than any other coach who ever lived, was q strong proponentof the three-mile race. ed ain | Friend Al: Well Al I been playing the part of a dummy here in the clothing store for 3 days now looking for pickpock- ets and aint found none yet.

FOSTER (Copyright 1925, Casper Tribune) W YORK, Jan. 29.—Both of Chicago's major league clubs will practically eliminate exhibition tours during the coming tra!ning season and on their way home’ from the training camps, the idea being to concentrate more upon the business of preparing for the regular playing schedule, The Cubs went Into the exhibition business on a moderate scale in 1924, but Commander Veeck, of the buw®ines department and Killefer, the playing boss, agreed that it is not the thing to do this year. There is too much upset and fuss to it with too little financial return. Killefer {s so intent on discover. ing whether he has solved the needs that have beset the’ Cubs for the last three years that he {s unwilling to take the slightest chance of jeopardizing the playing strength of his team until he gets it on the field in Chi¢ago's north side. The Sox are thru with the spread eagle days if Eddie Collin® gets his way. He has a funny conviction that it is up to him to win for the South Side this year and that one of the frist steps toward that end is the elimination of jaunts that the Sox have taken every now and then thru minor league land with the Giants. Comparison with the Giants never has tended especially to buck the Sox up.
