Cubs' Pennant Chances Depend On Nicholson (Editor's note: This is the fourth in a series on the prospects of the major league baseball teams). By LEO H. PETERSEN New York, Mar. 30 — (UP) —ln these days of player shortages, the Chicago Cubs have manpower to burn, but their 1945 pennant chances depend very largely on one man —slugging Bill Nicholson. Charley Grimm, the field manager, and Jim Gallagher, the general manager, say the National league runs batted-in-king will be in their opening day lineup. From that time on it will be up to Uncle Sam. Big'Bill te in 1-A and if and when he goes into service the Cubs’ pennant chances will go with him. Otherwise, Grimm is so well stocked with players that the Cubs have been paring their roster. Pitcher Red Lynn, infielders Glen Russell and Pete Elko and outfielder Lou Novikoff, the “mad Russian” have been sent to Los Angeles, while outfielder Ival Goodman was released for a minoj league managerial post. How some of them escaped the other clubs which are hunting the sticks for talent is a mystery. Grimm still has plenty of men

left and if the Cubs can get oft to a fast start this season —they lost 13 straight In the 1944 getaway—the team promises to be in the thick of the pennant fight so long as Nicholson is around. They will have Claude Passeau. anchor man of the pitching staff, from the start this season and that should make a big difference. The right hander did not report until late in 1944 and then went on to win 15 games. For starting roles back of Passeau, Grimm will have Henry Wyse, Bob Chipman, Paul Erickson, and Paul Derringer With two newcomers also fighting for regular turns. They are Ray Prim, who won 22 games with Los Angeles last year, and Charlie Gassaway, a 17-game winner with Los Angeles who is holding out for more money. Derringer, however, probably will be used only in spots and as a relief man to share mopping up chores with Hy Vandenburg. Other pitching candidates include Ed .Hanyzewski, who was with the team last year; Jorge Cornelias, who won 18 games with Los Angeles: Charles Adams, who won 10 with the same-club; George Hennessey, a 12-game winner with Nashville; George Woodend, who toiled for Syracuse and the Boston Braves in 1944; and Macklin Stewart. Grimm is five-deep in catching with Thompson Livingston, who was in the army last year, expected to win the No. 1 berth. Back of him are Dewey Williams, who was coming along fast as the regular receiver last year; Paul Gillespie, Leonard Rice and Joe Stephenson. The 1945 infield will be in tact' with Phil Cavarretta at first, Don Johnson at second, Roy Hughes or Len Merullo at shortstop and the dependable Stan Hack at third. Hack was another late reporter last year and his absence hurt in that opening losing streak. ! For utility posts, Heinz Becker, I up from Milwaukee where he hit .346; Charles Brewster, William i Schuster, and John Ostrowski are | available. Should Becker make the grade | at first, it would free Cavarretta for outfield duty, although Grimm, • as in other departments, is not | wanting for fly chasers. Harry i (Peanuts) Lowery is back after a year in the armed forces and may j be one of the starters along with ■ Nicholson. Andy Pafko, a 1944 | regular, will round out the starting trio it Cavarretta is needed in the I infield although two rookies are 1 making strong bids for posts. They are Ed Sauer, who hit .293 with i Los Angeles in 1944, and Frank : Secory, a .290 hitter with Mili waukee. Ceci! Garriott, who hit .286 with Lo» Angeles, also is |u I the running. 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

Oklahoma Aggies Upsel DePaul Five Nqw York. March 30 —(UiP) —The Cowlboys of Oklahoma A. & M. were the mythical national luusketiball champions today (because they made a "myth” out of the sensational scoring reputation of De-Paul'-t Blue Demons. Th? cowlboye won, 52 to 44, last night in an anti-climactic finish after they had sent four DePaul playetw ut of the game for excessive fouling, including George Mikan, who had brok-n every individual scoring record in the tournament booita. The crowd of il | B,lisß saw coach Henry lira's antidote for speed, a dogged unyielding defense that so hounded the Chicagoans they fouled in spite of themselves. It wasn't interesting basketball, but it was brilliant well-developed strategy and paid off with a richly earned victory.. Mikan went out of the game in the first 14 minutes with five personal fouls charged against him. In that time he had made only nine points—a far cry from his high of 53 against Rhode Island, his 33 against Bowling Green. Putting the clamp on him was seven-foot Bob Kurland and any other handy teammate as lira’s "cup defense” of two men on one was worked to perfection. The aggies were on Razor edge and ‘‘baited.” DePaul players into fouling. When Mikan went out he took the ‘ heart and soul” of the Demons with him. They remained ahead to the end of the half, when they led. 26 to 21, but the handwriting was on the wall. Promptly after the intermission, Cecil Hankins, Cotton 'bowl footlball star who wasn’t with ihe A®gies when they lost by two points to DePaul last D?cemmer, sank three field goals, his third shot giving A & M. a 27 to 26 lead. They led the rest of the Way. Mixed Doubles Meet Saturday Evening A mixed doubles tourney will be held at the Mies Rrecreation Saturday night at 8:30 o’clock.

Paper Hanging Comes Under Price Control Paper hanging is under OPA price control. Lloyd E. Setser, price specialist of the Indiana OPA district office, reminded householders today. “I make this point,” said Mr. Setser, “because of numerous complaints that many of the building service trades, particularly paper hangers, have told customers that there are no ceiling prices on their work. All building trades on both new and repair jobs are covered by beiting price regulations.” Mr. Setser said the regulations include: painters, paper hangers, decorators, plumbers, carpenters, masons, general contractors, heating contractors, electricians, installers of roofing, siding and insulation' and oilier building trades. “On unit price jobs,” said Mr. Setser, “such as per roll for paper hanging, per hour -for plumbing charges or per square for roofing, if’ the seller did the same kind of work in March 1942, he uses his own March 1942 rate or pricing method adjusted to cover legal increases in material costs to date and increases In labor costs up to and including Oct. 3, 1942. —o — Forbid Flags A federal law forbids the use ot the U. S. flag on trade marks.

New Technique Saves Plants From Transplanting Shock . nsggfl V : • ^ a EgaHMMnHr fy'w § ... - V ' JwaalL For Fast Transplanting, Have Tools and Materials Handy.

To move a growing plant from one location to another always causes a shock, and checks growth tor a time. This shock can be minimized by simple precautions, without which all the advantage of starting the plant early might be lost. Mistreated plants do not always die; they may live as cripples, failing to produce a crop of normal size and quality. Those most likely to survive in full vigor are grown in flower pots or plant bands, which allow them to be moved to the garden without disturbing the soil ground their roots. But plants with bare roots can be set out with small loss by the proper method. The quicker they are set out, after being lifted from the flat, or bed in which they were started, the better. If you grow your own. carry the flat to the garden. Purchased plants should have damp moss wrapped around their roots, and be planted as quickly as possible. First dig a hole large and deep enough to contain the plant roots; then mix with the soil at the bottom of the hole a level tablespoonful of plant food, and throw-in a handful of soil above this. Experiments have shown that all plants benefit by a starter solution, applied directly to their roots, if the roots are bare. The Victory

gardener rfiay prepare this solution by mixing four ounces of Victory garden fertilizer, 4-12-4, in a quart of water the day before setting out the plants. When ready to transplant, pour this quart into a pail and add nine quarts of water to complete the solution. Set the plant in the hole which has been prepared, pour one-half cup of the starter solution over the roots, then pack soil about- the roots to complete the operation. In the case of pot plants, and those grown in plant bands, pour the starter solution on the soil near the plant after it has been set, and the hole filled in. Plants should be set a little deeper in the garden than they stood in the flat or pot. Compact the soil about the roots, so there is close contact without air pockets. Tomato plants which have grown too tall should be set as deep a> necessary to shorten the height above ground. Deep set plants survive drouths better, and are less likely to be injured by the wind. A cloudy day is good for transplanting; and if it must be done under a hot sun, paper tents used to shade the plants for a few hours are beneficial. It is no longer considered desirable to prune the top of the plant or remove any leaves, unless they wither. Adjustment to the new home will come moro quickly if more leaves are retained.

The surface then should be thoroughly rinsed with water or turpentine (depending upon type of remover used* to make sure that none of the residue of the paint remover remains. and then dried out and sanded, before putting on the paint or enamel This will prevent chipping of the paint or varnish later on. If this is not done, the surface, at the very least, should be rubbed over with alcohol and thoroughly sanded —o — Pasture Practices Work done on the pasture—applying lime and barnyard manure, and carrying out other pasture management practices — increases production and provides more food for livestock.
