Charley Weeghman 1Is an optim- 18t 4 He doesn’t want any galivanting around after trouble and he isn't a bit timid about spending big money to bolster business regardless of how dark the outlook may be. While other major league managers were dep the brunette complex- fon of 1918 prospects, Weeghman did a little gum-shoeing for playing talent with which to put the Cubs in the pennant race. He spent money like a sailor celebrating shore leave, while ::la brother mags stood around gap- ng. Resoit — Charley Weeghman has surrounled Fred Mitchell with some baseball talent which may land a National League pennant for Chi- cago's Northsiders. If the Cubs are lucky they will be able to hold Grover Alexander throughout the coming season. And if ' they succecded the big right- hander. will be good for 25 to 30 vic= tories, unless h% suffers the worst re- v seen In the big show for some Be: Alex alone could not win a pennant | for Chicago but he can do a big bit| and with Tyler added to the pitching| staff and Bill Killifer in the harness to handle the slants of the pitchers, the sharpshooting staff of the Cubs will not have to bow to any in the; big_league. ‘When Fred Mitchell landed ' Dode Paskert got a player who is sure to do the team a world of good. Pas- kert, with Mann, Flack and Barber, the latter form a strong outflelding combinztion. Mitch also has Bill Mc- Cabe, a slugging recruit from Jack Holland's Hutchinson club of the western league, who may make all of 'em step to heat him out. The Cub infleld is the real problem Mitchell has to solve and yet he can show. something in the way of talent. |4, Kilduff, Deal, DMerkle, Zeider, Hol- lacher, Pechous, Wortman and Lear represent the infleld strength of- the Bruins. It is said that Deal will be groomed for first base if Merkle fails to hang on, and Pete Kilduff is prac- tically certain to hold down second, providing, of course, that Charley Hollacher comes through at short. Lear, who Is called a second Heinie Zim, is the gamble for the third bas- ing job. So with Wortman, eZider, Deal and Pechous aill fighting, -the Cub cushion defenders who win jobs will have to show some steam, In addition to the new battery stars secured by the Cubs Mitchell has Vaughn, Weaver, Aldridge and Walker, in his pitching corral, and Daily, Eliott and O'Farrell to fight it out for the Job. To say the least these Cubs look mighty good. They look to be a sure one-two-three club right now, ayd agide from the Giants they were the strongest club in the league on paper. Stars Playing Indoor Baseball. ‘Walter Holke, of the Giants; Johnny Lavan, of the Senators; Hughie High ,nd Derrill Pratt, of the Yankees; George Sisler anq Tobin of the Browns and Konetchy of the Braves, are play- ing indoor baseball out in St. Louis. ‘The other night two teams called the Cardinals andg the Browns played a game at the Coliseum that was at- tended by Admiral Peary. Holke, Lavan and High played for the Cardinals, who defeated the Browns 4 to 2. Sisler, Pratt and Ko- netchy were on the losing side. The features of the game were a home run by Holke in the ninth in- ning and Bisler’s fan in the same round. Holke's hit sewed up the con- test for his team, while Sisler's fan act prevented a possible tie score. Sop For the Minors. According to the terms of the new national agreement the minors will have a voice in deciding their disputes with major league clubs. When such cases are heard by the national com- mission - the minors will have two judges on the bench to serve with Messrs. Herrmann, Tener and John- gon. This looks like an important concession, but the fact must not be overlooked that the majors still will control the majority vote. The revised pereement accords a square deal to 1" - nlayérs, who will be treated in ac- rordance with the terms stipulated threa years ago by the defunct Fra- 1-rai 7 ALLEYS Phone Conn. 6 TABLES Majestic Building, Shetucket St. Norwich, Conn, Bowl and play Billiards for exercise and nerut-on Young Roumanian Who is to Box Here on Washingten's Frankie Moise for the Championship of Rhode lsland and Won—Is to Fight Dave Powers of Malden in Fifteen Round Bout, B Young Goula of Woonsocket, R.

Hartford,- Conn., ¥Feb. 17.—President Daniel O'Neil ¢f the Eastern Baseball Association tonight issued a call for {2 meeting' of the league at the Cooley House in Springficld, Mass., next Fri- day afternoon. The business for which the meetidg ‘is called was not-stated. SPORTING NOTES The Giants will open their spring training season series at San Anto- tonio. John McGraw is some strategist off the ball field as well as in the big yard. He beat the coal famine by going to Havana. Matty McHale, the former Yankee pitcher. recently amused the men in training at Camp Devens with stories of big league life. Now that Alexauder has been as- sured of his bonus, Bill Killifer, his battery mate, may come to terms y\lnth President Weeghman more read. ily. Seems that some of our pastimers are not anxious for a high fating in the selective draft. Heretofore “Class One” looked pretty good to a ball tosser. For the first time in the history of our national pastime ball players will not be able to cut lcose and go the limit in hotel dining rooms. Hoover is the answer. Manager Stallings has kis _twirling staff with Burmeister, of the North Carolina league. latter is a tall, rangy who has a fenty of smok right-hander, In trying to secure Nap Lajoie from the wilds of Toronto. the Clubs seem to have ignored the Tcronto club. Now the Maple Leafs declare that Na- poleon will play in Toronto or not at all The St. Louis American League team will do- their spring training at Shreveport, La. This decision was arrived at after a visit to -the southern resort by Secretary Willis Jolmson of the Browns. Among the many other things that will come National league meeting tomorrow will be consideration of the schedule, which a_ committee, representing a number of clubs, has been working on for some time. Efforts are being made to organ- ize a Class D league in cities in ©hio, Indiana and Kentuckey that formerly were in the Ohio State, the Kitty and the Blue Grass. Among thdse in- terested in the plan are Orville Wood- ruff, who once played with the Louis- ville Association team. He may take the Maysville (Ky.) end of the league if the organization plans go through. Ballplayers who make their homes around Seattle and Portland are go- ing to be hard to line up for the coming season. Most of them are working in shipyards at big wages and even if they would quit their jobs for basebali Uncle Sam might have something to say. Among these play- ers who are said to have turned down contracts to play ball are Bert Hall pitcher with Great Falls in the North- western last season; Earl Thompson Tacoma first baseman; Henry Peter- son Tacoma pitcher; Gus Davis. Spokane pitcher, and Lester Patter- son, Vancouver catcher. Does the ruling of the National Commission—since backed up on— that a player not paid his salary for the full season is a free agent, hold good in case of a suspended player? That is a point that the Sacramento Club of the Coast League would like to have cleared up. Pitcher Emery Webb, of Spokane, jumped the team last year and later the league dis- banded. Webb was listed as sus- vended. Now Sacramento wants to sign him as a free agent. holding his status to be that of other Spokane players who were not paid for the full season.

ON HIS OWN. Of course, Tommy cannot always be producing . plays under fire, but while in rest billets he has numerous other ways of amusing himself. 'He is-a great gambler, but' never plays for large stakes. Generally, in each com- pany, you wili find a regular Canfield. This man banks néarly all the games of chance and is an undisputed- au- thority on the rules of gambling. Wheneyer there is an argument among the Tommies about some un- certain points as to whether Hough- ton is entitled to Watkins’ sixpence, the matter is takem to the recognized authority and his decision is final. The two most popular games are “Crown and Anchor” and “Houyse.” The paraphernalia ustd in “Crown and Anchor” consists of a piece of canvas two feet by three feet. This is divided into six equal squares. In these squares are painted a club, dia- mond; heart spade, crown, and an anchor, one device to a square. There are three dice used, each dice marked the same as the canvas. The banker sets up his gambling outfit in the cor- ner of a billet and starts ballyhooing until a crowd of Tommies gather around; then the game starts. The Tommies place bets on the squares, the crown or anchor being played the most. The banker then rolls his dice and collects or pays out as the case may be. If you play the crown ard one shows up on the dice, you get even money, if. two shows three, three to one. If the crown does not appear and you have bet on it, you lose, and so on. The percent- age for the banker is large if every squgre is played, but if the crowd is partial to. say two squarés he has to trust to luck. ly wins. The game of “House” is very pop- ular also. it. | This game consists of numerous rows of numbers, five numbers to a irow. The numbers run from one to | ninety. FEach card has a different combination. ! The French estaminets in the vil- lages are open from eleven in the { morning until one in the afternoon in j accordance with army orders. After dinner the Tommies congre- gate at these places to drink French beer at a penny a glass and play “House.” As soon as the estaminet is suffi- ciently , crowded the proprietors of the “House Game” get busy and as they term it. “form a school” Thisj reinforced | consists of going around and selling | | cards at a franc each. If they have | ten in the school. the backers of the trouble and the winner gets eight franes. Then the game starts. Each buyer places his card before him on the table, first breaking up matches into fifteen pieces. One of the backers of the game;] has a small cloth bag in which are | ninety cardboard squares. each with a number printed thereon, from ‘one! to ninety. He raps on the table and cries out, “Eyes down. my lucky lads.” All noise ceases and everyone is at- tention. The eroupier places his hand in the | bag and draws -forth a numbered, square and immediately calls out the | number. The man who owns the card with that particular number on it covers the square with a match. .The| one who covers. the fifteen numbers on his card first shouts “House.” The other backer immediately comes over | to him and verifies the card. by call-| iing out the numbers thereon to ‘the man with the bag. As each number is called he picks it out.of the ones picked from . the - bag and . says, "Right." If the count is. right he: shouts, “House correct, pay the lucky gentleman and sell him a card for, the next school.” ‘The “lucky gentleman” generally buys one unl he has a Semitic trace -in - his ns.

The value of the hands are: High card a -pair a run, a fiush and threz of a kind or “prile” The limit is generally a penny, so it is hard to win a fortune.
