By Bozeman Bulger. 'N the general reorganization of teams throughout the National League, due to the peace agree- ment with the Feds, it has been gen- erally believed that the Cubs would Teap the greatest benefit. This was based on the fact that the Chicago club was to take over the Whales, the Chicago Federal League cham- Pions, in their entirety. It can not be said that this belief is borne out by an analysis of the two clubs, based on offictal records for the past sea- son. Taken as a whole, the batting and fielding averages of the two clubs show an improvement, as follows: Flelding Average. Batting Average. that the Federal League batters will be able to hit as well against the Na- tional League pitchers as they did in the Federal League. As a matter of fact they will not do anything of the sort, according to those who have watched both leagues, but the figures in the records form the only basis for calculation. There are several very poor hitters in the major leagues who hit ke a house afire in the Federal. The Fed pitching, it is well known, was very weak. An evidence of that is that very few of their pitchers have been taken over by the Ameri- can and National League clubs since peace was declared, The pitching staff of the Oub- Whales combination very lkely will be made up of the following: Hum- phries, Lavender, Vaughan, Zabel, Hendrix, “Miner” Brown, Ad Brennan and Standridge. There are still left to choose from, Karl Adams, Pierce, Prendergast and Bill Bailey. Taking {t all, the Cub-Whale com- bination does not seem to be nearly 80 powerful, except in the outfield, as was generally believed. That outfield, hewreren: js @ corker, Inder the agreement which permit- ted the Cubs to carry more men than any other team for the first month, on account of the consolidation, Tin- ker has a great advantage in being able to pick from seventy odd players on the two payrolls. He has ampie time in which to give them all a «rial. But thie does not extend to the in- dividual players except in the out- field, Some of the Federal players whioh Tinker declares he will use in the infleld do not hit as well as the! National Leaguers that will be dis- Placed. For inatance, Shortstop Bob Fisher, who led the Cub hitters with a batting average of .287, has been, or will be, set adrift. He will be re- placed by Mike Doolan, formerly with the Phillies but later of the Balti- more and Chicago Feds, who hit but -206, the lowest average shown by any of the regular players of tho Whales and much lower than any man on the Cubs, Zeider, or Farrell, will probably replace Zimmerman at second, though Zelder’y batting av- erage is but .238, and Farrell's much less, as compared with .266 by “Heinte Zin.” This will partly even itself up, however, by Zimmerman playing at third inetead of Phelan, who batted but .219.
