LEAGUE MS CUT ROSTERS All Major League Teams Must Reduce Flayer List To 23 Men New York. May 15 — (UP) — This Is May 15-The day that the i axe swings throughout the major leagues as managers chop Gown I their squads to comply w ith the 23-player limit which goes into effect at midnight. It is a day of dread for rookies trying to gain a foothold tn the big time and for veterans who are slipping.

Boston’s Red Sox reduced to the ; limit yesterday by giving Joe Judge, veteran first baseman, his unconditional release.

INJURIES FAIL TO STOP CUBS Cubs Led Despite Injury Jinx; Gabby Hartnett Is Latest Chicago, May 15.—<U.R) — For a i team which seems to h»ve an injury jinx for a mascot the Chicago Cubs are not doing so badly in the National league pennant race. During the first month of the i campaign, every regular on the j team outside the pitching staff was i beset by some ailment or injury. : Despite the fact that four regulars are on the shelf the Cube are setting the pace for the Pirates. Cardinals, and Giants to follow. The latest victim of the Cubs’ ; injury jinx is catcher dabby Hart- ! nett, who was hit on the left elbow , by one of Hal Schumacher’s pitches iin yesterday's game with the ; Giants. Hartnett’s elbow was seI verely bruised, but he probably will . be able to play again within three jor four days. I The other regulars out of the game are Woody English, third | baseman. Billy Herman, second baseman, and Manager Charley i Grimm, first baseman. English has ' a game leg. Herman a sprained ankle, and Grimm has several ailments. Illness and injuries started harassing the Cubs the first day they hit spring training camp. Lynn Nelson. pitcher, woke up with a pain in his ear. A few days later George Tucker Stainhack, rookie outfielder. sprained his ankle. Bill Lee, i rookie, caught the influenza. Dolph I Camilli, rookie first baseman. bad his finger slashed in sliding into home plate. Almost every day some one had to report to the Cubs' trainer. Dr. Andrew Hemingway Lotshaw, for treatment. The day before the season opened Kiki Cuyler, center fielder, developed a hangnail which became infected. That gave Stainback his chance to break into the regular lineup. When Cuyler got well, i Stainback injured his ankle. Chuck ; Klein got a sty on his eye, but re- | fused to leave the game. Billy Jurges had a mild touch of appendicitis and had to go to the hospital for observation. English moved to shortstop in Jurges’

The only one of the Cubs’ re- , serves who hasn't been a smashing i success when he was inserted in the game is Augue Gala, playing ; second base in place of the injured ' Billy Herman. In spring training I Galan was the outstanding young j player, but he has made only one hit in 24 times at bat since the season opened. The other utility players are playing brilliantly.

“O, thou merry month complete MAY... thy very name is sweet!” THIS being May, we’d like to drop back through history a few hundred years and see the May-pole which James II (then the Prince of Wales) caused to be erected in The Strand, London. The king wanted a kingly May-p01e... a big one! So the topmost tuft of flowers and ribbons waved from a shaft ten stories high! But the part we like best about old May Day customs was bringing in the hawthorn blossoms. The young folks did this; starting off “a-Maying” early in the morning through every country lane, they brought back enough branches to deck every house in the village. There’s something about this Maytime that makes us long to bring the Spring indoors. Have you thought yet about crisp ruffled curtains and cool, flower-shaded slip-covers and thin summer rugs, for your own rooms? A cotton bedspread is new pleasure, and just slipping your pillows into print and gingham covers cheers up the indoor atmosphere. Saves fine fabrics from dust and fading too. So it’s pleasant to change dress indoors for Summer and thrifty to take advantage of the many special offerings in the advertisements. The stores have many fresh novel new things for Spring and prices are surprisingly low.
