CHflGAGO 'CUBS LOOK LIKE CHARLEY WEEGHMAN ftAS CORNERED JUICY LEMON MARKET
HimEfcmss ifnl.
JOE TINKERS CHICAGO CUBS
CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY STAND
A RIGID CITRIC ACID TEST
' Phillies' Seven Straight Victories Prove Weegh-
man Owns a Sallow, Yellow-Skinned
Baseball Combination
CHICAGO has developed Into one of the createst fruit centres In tho coun
try. This Is m.f surprising to those who have been In tho hustling, bustling
city ty the lake In the last few years, and who have noticed tho tnushrooin-llko
fepread of the Justly celebrated AVecghman restaurants. It takes a lot of fruit
to supply tho demand of tho hungry multitude. No ono knows this better than
tho renowned former owner of tho Federal Leaguo Whales and the present pro.
prfelpf of the Cubs.
Charles Weeghman, therefore, determined somo time ago to purchase fruit
In quantity. It was his Intention to purchase a Juicy melon from Charles
Murphy $t a!., then bosses of the Chlcngo Nntlonnl League baseball club. Chubby
Qharles and his do-cmisplrators decided that $500,000 was a Mir price for tho
franchise nnd tho various by-products thereof. Weeghman also considered this
fair enough, hence tho papers wore duly drawn up at the conclusion of baseball
war, ftlfd tho crafty restauranteur becamo chieftain of tho combined Whnles
Cubs baseball team, with Joe Tinker advertised In the films as manager of tho
menagerie.
It Must Have Been a Typographical Error
But an unfortunate thing happened In tho transfer of the Cubs' stock from
tho party of tho first part to tho party of the second part to wit, Charles
Weeghman. In transcribing tho olllclal documents, the stenographer evi
dently becamo excited at tho thought of ono man paying J500,000 perfectly no
rotlable Ironmcn for a baseball club.
At any rate the error occurred. In speaking of the Cubs, alios melon, the
transcriber or transcriberlne, Instead of writing the word M-E-L-O-N, shifted
a couple of consonants and wrote L-E-MON. That may not appear to bo a
very grave error to tho layman, but alas! and also alack! the dlffcrenco be
tween a melon and a lemon as applied to a baseball rluh approximates tho dif
ferences between our old Greek friends, Alpha and Omega.
Hence, when Joe Tinker nnd his band of athletes drifted Into Tampa for the
.spring training cnmpalpn ho began to feel that a cruel Jest had been perpetrated
on him, not realizing that It was a mero typographical error.
Phillies Drive Home a Certainty to Tinker
It did not toko Tinker long to see clearly that what ho feared to be a fact
was a certainty of tho most 'hideous proportions. Ho had been hoodwinked. Ho
dd not havo a real ball club. All of his predictions about winning a National
League pennant took the form of superheated ozone. And tho Phillies were, re
sponsible for the disillusion.
Moron's heartless hirelings went about showing up tho Cubs-Whales com
bination In tho most cold-blooded von Mackenscnesquo manner. In fact, they de
feated tho Cubs seven times In seven starts. That series of defeats was followed by
another at Albany, Ga., where tho Indlannpolls club, of the American Associa
tion, won, 7 to 1.
The Phillies have shown unexpected and sustained battling strength through
out tho training season, but It was not solely due to their excellent play that they
tyok seven straight games from the Lamented Lemons. A few glaring weaknesses
hero and there contributed to tho humiliation raised to tho seventh power.
, Joseph Tinker's Infield a Semiflivvcr
"While tho dissension In the Cubs' camp Is nnd will probably' contlnuo to be
jmrtly responsible for tho poor showing of Chlcagoans, far more weak spots have
developed than any ono believed with tho material from which Tinker had to
draw.
The games with tho Phillies and tho dally work of tho Cubs In Tampa
havo shown that tho Infield Is not going to be an up-to-date quartet. No ono
Itnowsj yet Just what playors will bo used regularly, not even Tinker himself.
MIko Doolan has put on so much weight that ho Is very slow, and his arm Is not
nearly as good as It was when ho was captain of tho Phillies under Charley
Dooln. This means that Tinker must depend on homo ono clso In the short
field position if ho expects to havo oven a near-winning club.
Stove Yerkes at second baso Is likely to hold the Job throughout this season,
but Stovo has not dono so well this spring. Ho was at his best In 1912 with th
lied Sox, henco ho cannot bo expected to como up to tho standard for a pennant
winning team. Zimmerman at third and Saler at first nro all right, but wltb
them playing great ball Tinker will only havo half of a real Infield.
Wcegliman's Crowd Is Top-Heavy Financially
With a weak Infield, nn outfield that is by no means a constellation and a
pitching corps whoso ability Is excessively doubtful, tho Cubs form n top-heavy
combination financially. Tinker, or rather Weeghman, was forced to take over
eomo big1 contracts when ho affiliated himself with organized baseball.
Weeghman will nnd that without a winning team, which ho unquestionably
has not, he will be drawing on the restaurant cash registers with disconcerting
regularity all summer. The crowds on the West Side last season were nothing
like those of tho old days when Frank Chanco was at the playing helm
winning pennants and giving great exhibitions dally.
This season, with all of tho opposition to tho Federal Leaguo that developed
among stanch supporters of organized baseball, tho now Cubs' management will
And that It cannot get out of the hole without a winner. This Is Indeed an un
fortunate circumstance for Weeghman, because if Tinker could not produce what
would appear at this time of tho year to bo a pennant contender, there is not a
chanco for him to do so later.
White Sox Also Have Rocky Road Ahead
Tho prospects for a big year on the South Side, Chicago, are brighter than
those. on the West: nevertheless, the stupendous salary list that la staring
Charley Comlskey In the face is not increasing his optimism.
There has pever been a baseball club with the salaries running so uni
formly high asthose of the White Sox. If Clarence Rowland can produce a
pennant winner or a, team that will be In tho running for the flag up to tho
last few weeks of the 1916 season, there Is a chance that tho Chicago Americana
may come out oven on the year's work. Of course, If Rowland proves to be a
real lender and defeats all comers In Ban Johnson's circuit, Comlskey will make
enough money to buy everybody-wtoe at all the baseball meetings In Peacock
alley next winter. "
But Rowland may not do no well. He had a wonderful bunch of talent last
Benson, and, as far ns any one knows, there, were no discordant notes struck
among tho players. Yet the White Sox did not-make anything like tho showing
they should have made, which makes the Chicago "fans and others Interested in
the team's success wonder whether Comlskey did not "Jaoal ono" when ho drew
Rowland Into the American League. '-'.
Rowland Has Great Talent in All Departments
There Is no argument about ono thing If Rowland does not win tho pennant
In the American League this year thero would be no use In Comlskey'3-retalnlng
him another year;
Just take a look" at the tossing talent Rowland has to draw from:
Joe Jackson.. Eddie Murphy, Happy Felsch, John Collins and Lelbold are all
high-grade players, any one of whom could make n regular position on any other
club In either of tho major leagues. Yet It Is patent that two of them must sit
on the bench at least a part of the time. Jackson Is going to make ono position.
. 'Comlskey would not permit him to sip on the bench and draw the salary Ujjt he
does. Eddie Murphy, on account of his excellent qualifications as a lead-off man,
-will probably occupy right field, which leaves Lelbold, Felsch and Collins to fight
It out for the other field.
It ts almost certain that Teny, the youngster whose release was bought
from a club In the Pacific Coast League, will play shortstop for the White Sox
' In place of Buck Weaver. The latter will be moved to third base, while Eddie
Collins and Fourner will take care of second and first bases.
No better pitching corps could be found In the country than that possessed
y the JVhlte Sox, It la composed ot Joe Benz, Death Valley Jim Scott, Reb
Russell, Eddie Clcotte, Faber, Wolfgang and Ed Walsh. Of course, Walsh may
not be of any value to the team, but there Is more than an even chance that he will
be very helpful.
With Ray Sch&lk and Jack Lipt behind the bat, the White Sox have an
unbeatable combination, provided they are managed correctly, which leads
us again to remark that if .Rowland makes -good Comlskey will be In clover,
but if ha falls to win the flag- or make a good showing. Champagne Charles
will have to live on beer for a year or'so.
Ernie Johnson and Johnny Lavan are, or rather were, fighting it out for the
shortstop position on Fielder Jones' Stt Loul3 BrowpB, Johnson was injured re
recently. Lavan, who is an 11. D. from the University of Michigan, waa the
j4iyElclan present when Johnson was hurt. He advised a three weeks' lay-off
far Us opponent, which proves that colleges do teach something after all.

Athletics Confident of
Showing Better Form
in Boston Frays
HUB PLAYERS IN SHAPE
ny CHANDLER D. RICIITER
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 31. The
Boston IJraVcs were greeted with chilly
weather this morning upon their arrival
hero for tho first game of the final Inter
leave series of the training season. Mali
nger Stalllngs, who Is never very nmlflblo
when Mack nnd his playors nro nenr, wns
.ery much peeved Ilo raved nuito a nil
about tho miserable weather nnd the con
trast to the cllmato nt Mlnml, where tho
Braves havo been trnlnlng.
Boston Is tho best conditioned team tho
wrlloi has eer seen nt this time of tho
year. The men nro playing In mldseason
form and though two das of tho pre
vailing weather will put the Mnckmcn
bnck considerably, It will really bo wel
come, as It may tend to thrmv tha U raves
oft thulr stride. This would aid tho 1'hllllcs
considerably and prevent tho Braves from i
getting olT to a start As every one In tno
Mack training camp Is pulling for tho
Phils to win tho National Leaguo ling
thero is no gloom hero because tho
wenthor wns such that only a short work
out was held this morning.
Thero has always been a great deal of
discussion relative to tho conditioning of
a team In tho spring. Srnno mnnngers
deelaro that a team should not train
where tho weather Is extremely warm, ns
tho return to tho North nrfects a finely
conditioned team more than ono which Is
not quito up to form.
In discussing the subject Manager Mnck
says. "I don't tnkc nny stock In that
thoory. My experience bus taught mo
that a tenm which enjoys rctnnrknbly
warm weathor will show tho effects of
cold weather slightly quicker, but a team
In the condition that the Braves aro to
day needs one or two warm days to bring
them right back to where they wero be
fore tho reaction sets In
"Another tenm will be slow coming to
form, even after this warm weather sets
in. A major league team which has pen
nant aspirations cannot bo trained too
well, nnd Stallings Is fortunnto In bnvlng
his men In such good shape. I know If
my ball team was a pennant contender
nothing would please me moro than to
see tho men In tho condition tho Boston
players are at tho present time. I'll tnke
n chnnce with cold weather of tho North
nnd get a team on edgo every timo 1 get
tho weather and havo the men."
The Braves will be rather surprised at
the Improved condition of the Mack
mer and unless tho Dodgers skidded
badly over night before meeting tho re
constructed regular team, tho National
Leaguo favorites aro going to have hard
battles on their hands this afternoon and
tomorrow. The Mackmun apparently are
striking their stride, and while they mo
not banking upon winning both games
from the Braves, all are confident that
at least ono of the contests will result in
victory.

The Cnsc of the Cubs
Ono can't very well blame Mr. Weegh
man nnd Mr. Tinker for n spring feeling of
depression.
When It wns first announced that tho
Chlfeds, Fed ling winners, wero to be
nmnlgnmated with the Cubs, tho opening
thought wns a runaway pennant race for
Cuhlnnd
For the Chlfeds wero good enough to win
n pennant. And tho Cubs bad bucIi eminent
additions to offer as Jimmy Archer, Vlo
Saler, Heinle Zlm, Jim Vnughnn, Jim
Lavender, Cy Williams, Frank Schule and
others of slightly lower Ilk.
And Then
No wonder Mr. Weeghman nnd Mr.
Tinker felt buoyant, not to say exhilarated.
Tho combination looked like, money in the
bank.
And thon camo seven games with the
Phillies, which left tho standing about as
follows:
Phillies Won 7, lost 0; percentage,
1.000.
Cubs Won 0, lost 7 ; percentage, .000.
Not that any March series has any
direct bearing on summer or autumn
affairs.
But when ono tenm plays seven games
with a ball club In Its own circuit and
loses exactly seven games, thero Is cer
tainly llttlo left to cheer about for the
tlmo being. It Is enough to mnko ono sit
down nnd ponder for tho momont, nt least.
