CHICAGO CUBS ARE CONTENDERS Editor's note: This Is the t nlh of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various maj r league baseball clubs. By Henry VP Stuff Corespondent New York, April 3. U.K With Rogers Hornsby and his big bat back on second base the Chicago Cults, who failed by but two gar.tss in 1930 to win the National league race, must be rated as outstanding contenders in the 1931 flag chase. The Cubs are expected to lineup for the opening of the championship season as follows: Cuyler. If; English. 3b; Hornsby, 2b; Wilson, cl; Stephenson, If; Hartnbtt, c; Grimm, lb; Jurges, ss: Root. p. Jurges. the only newcomer, is regarded by Hornsby as “the best infield prospect in the majors" and is almost certain to win a regular berth. Should he fail to live up to WANTS TO TELL ALL OF SARGON “The way 1 feel, I'd like to talk to every person who is suffering like I was and tell them personally, Ik ggF R MRS. JOHN F. SAWYER why I have so much faith in Sar-; gon," declared Mrs. John F. S iwyer. RED No. 1. Box 283, Indianapolis. “For four years indigestion' made me wretched; my fo’d sour-i ed and fermented. I suffered terribly with heartburn and pains in ; my side and back. My circulation .was also poor and I was troubled , w ith numbness in my limbs. “Today, thanks, to Sargon, I haven't a single one of these troubles left! I took Sargon Pills, | too. and they are perfectly wonder-1 ful for keeping the system well j -egulated. I’m always telling others to take Sargon if they want to get well like I have.” Sold by B. J.

T" 1 expectations, English will be returned to short with la-ster Bell i ■ retaining his third base pout. Bell was a flop last season and third base was the weak spot in 1 the Cubs machine. English his; | had considerable experience at the l 'hot corner" and if Jurges fulfills' his training camp promise the I Cubs will be stronger on the left side of their infield than at any time during the last decade. Cuyler, Hartnett. Wilson and Grimm rate with the best in the i league at their respective positions.; Stephenson, a veteran, is expected to retain his position against the strong challenge of John tv - Moore, coast league rookie. Hornsby's return is certain to increase ths offensive power of the team. The slugging manager is expected to hit nearly .100 points more than Blair, his substitute of last year. Blair will be retained I for utility roles. The Cubs' pitching strength has been increased by the addition of three established major league pitchers. Boh Smith, Les Sweetland and Jakie May and several promising rookies. Charley Root's throwing arm has completely recovered and with Malone. Blake, i Rush and Teachout all showing good form the Cubs boast an ade- ; quate mound staff. _o Chicago Fighters Win Golden Gloves Bouts r Chicago. April 3.—<U.R?—Six Chicago amateur fighters and two I' from New York, each wearing the championship crown of his weight ' division in the annual Golden i Gloves tournament, awaited today the international matches with a picked team of French champions here on May 12. In the annual intergity matches' at Chicago stadium last night, these men triumphed, and the overwhelming victory of the Chicago! .squad left the championship ini i this city for the second consecutive, i year. o Kaye Don Sets New Motor Boat Record , Ihtenos Aires.

GIRL PITCHER FACES YANKEES Chattanooga, Tenn., Apnil 3. —<U.R> | —Verne Beatrice .Mitchell, (Jackie. Mitchell for box office purposes), may he a good drawing card, but ' the New York Yankees were con-, vinced today that as a pitcher she . would make a swell cook. Jackie, who is 17, went to the pitcher's mound for the glory of Chattanooga yesterday while some 4,000 fans cheered wildly. The invincible Babe Ruth stepped to the plate, a wry smile playing at the corners of his month. I Ever gallant where ladies are concerned. the Babe politely lifted his' hat to the first woman ever to crash what hitherto has been considered a purely stag affair. The bobbed-haired pitcher pull ed out her mirror and powder puff and dusted the shine from her nose. She then went into an intricate windup, ami the ball whiz- j zed toward the Babe. He allowed the first ball to pass and swung wildly at the next two. The next cne, cutting the plate in the center, the Babe disdained and I walked chivalrously to the dugxmt ! not even venting his usual vehemence on the umpire and pitched. Lou Gehrig then walked to the box. Again Jackie went into her . windup. Three times she wound up- and three times Gehrig swung, to allow himself to be vanquished by the girl. Tony Lazzeri was the third batter up. But Jackie had lost her steam by then and Lazzeri walked. Joe Engel, who signed Jackie for the season, decided that she had ! had enough. The Yankees won 14 to 4. Vernon Gomez did their pitching. They j are headed for Atlanta today.

Fitts refused to comment on the ! decision in the Pringle ca.se, but in- ! jtimated at first that he would seek ( ian immediate retrial. Later it was 'learned that even if a second trial I was ordered, it would not be called until later this year, in which event the San Diego charges would be tried first. o BERNE MAN MAY BE APPOINTED vtmWKT) FROM PAGE ONE) ' that he would deem it a privilege to serve on the commission, but that "the matter was news to me."

About 100 spectators stubbornly held their seats in Judge Sabath's court. Judge Sabath announced, in a brief appearance at the entrance to his private office, that no matter how long the jury remained deadlocked. he would make no move to discharge it. He said that if the jury should wish to report inability to agree, he would receive the report only upon consent of both state and defense. ! Get the Habit- trade at Home

ITALY OBSERVES GOOD FRIDAY BY PASSION PLAYS Picturesque Villages Stage Miniature Oberammergaus Rome, April 3.— (U.R) —ln many villages und small towns of Italy; today processions were held through the streets in memory of the of Christ on the Cross. I In some of the villages of Sicily. > I the scene of the crucifixion was' lie-enacted in the form of a small I I passion play. Near Rome, in the village of AnI ticoli Corrado, the annual Good F iday ceremony of carrying a coffin supposed to contain the body of Christ was carried out In the presence of a group of foreigners 1 who had driven out from Rome for (the event and crowds of peasantsi j from near-by villages. Coffin Carried Aloft The coffin, symbolic of Christ's L death, was carried aloft along the' rough narrow village streets by the! j "faithful apostles." The Virgin; Mary, represented by a devout' mother of Antieoli, was comforted' by other women of the village., (Judas Iscariot, impersonated by the village half wit. took part in the ; curious procession, and was tile I butt of all. Blows from sticks and words of reproach were his lot. until fiightened. but unharmed, he lied for refuge into a friend's house. The coffin supposed to contain the body of Christ was taken from the village church by the arch! priest and carried through the village to the accompaniment of hymns and mourning plaints, some of them belonging to the church hymnology, others characteristic peasant laments. The result was I extraordinarily impressive. Miniature Oberammergau Antieoli is a kind of small un-| pretentious Oberammergau, the famous Bavarian village which gives its Passion Play every ten years. Put everything is simple and homely and pure, unspoiled folk-loie. I with no tourist agencies, no hotels.! or restaurants and very few tour- 1 ists. The little village has artistic traditions, for the same actors play their roles each year until they a e .too old and then their children replace them. Antieoli is also the I I village from which most of the Rome artists' models come. It was i I here that the American sculptor. 1 Maude Sterne, found models for I his gigantic monument in Worces-; . ter. Mass. Acolytes ringing bells proceeded | the procession today, and as the coffin passed along the streets the peasants knelt down in reverence. I I The actors made only simple attempts to dress their parts, using l ! lengths of colored cloths for mantles, while tlie women wore picturesque shawls. o BANDITS HOLD FAMILY CAPTIVE FROM PAGE ONE, ' Then they put their Maroon auto- j mobile into the Mott garage, placed i I the familv car in front of the home and settled down for the night As the radio announcer bloadcast tlie blow-by-blow reports of the box ing tournament, the bandits corn-' tnented from time to time with such j I remarks as: “The kid certainly socked 'lm, ■ didn’t he" and "That's what those ! . New York fighters get for coming out here.” The comment came from behind l handkerchiefs they had tied over their faces soon after they arrived. Then followed discussion of the I Brothers trial, one of them remark-. II mg tna: “tne rap won't stick.” ( Meantime they had produced ( some liquor and became more locuaJcions at the night wore on. 1 j At midnight. Paul, 22. the oldest Mott boy, appeared and joined the 1 imprisoned family. ? l One of the bandits went to the ' kitchen, cocked bacon and eggs, buttered bread and made coffee and ’■the bandits and the Mott family had ? ’ a midnight lunch. ’! From then until SA. M. the bar- ? dits took turns dozing. 1 Before going to the bank, the bandits tied the boys with clothesline to a post in the basement.
