Classy bowling, however, 1s the middie name of 'Vhu- Boys" and they pro4, reeded to register a three-game total count of 3,082, a broad winner in any company. The Danville bunch scored 2,817. a raft, of split* In the third game hurtlnp. They opened with a 1,019 game, their only winning total, and followed with 8k'ores of 815 and 888. The
Centrals didn't start off with a 1,000 Came, getting J»82, but they finished with 1,061 and 1,039 counts, which grave them a 2f5.r-pin margin at the windup.
Ed Baker, lead-oft. rightly blazed the trail, shooting 207, 236 and 233 for a total of f7 6 pins. John Jensen was second high with 656. the result of 214, 236 and 216 games.

Crack Hurler Worried, But Firm As Cub Squad Gets Down To Real Play.*
V
PASADENA, Oal., March 18.—Sunday was not a day of rest for the Cubs. Realizing he must accomplish much in the way of preparation during the next five or six days, Manager Mitchell sent the Chlcagoans through one long and vigorous workout, despite the fact the boys were welt lamed from the drilling of the previous day.
All hands wero at the practice field at the regular hour, 10:30 a. m., and there was no bench loafing for any one' until after 1 o'clock, when it was called day's work. Lunch was served on
the field and the boys had the balance of the afternoon to themselves. Alexander once more looked on from the side, but he sat with William Wrigley, one of the big stockholders. Afcer practice he went with Wrigley in his car for an afternoon of golf at the Mldwlck club. It seemed there might be something significant In the act. Though Manager Mitchell announced no change in the status of the Alexander case, it was guessed Wrigley decided to take a hand in it, possibly at the request of President Weeghman, who Is In Chicago.
One thing seems quite certain the great Aleck isn't to go along sitting in the shade and looking on for the whole training trip. He has lost two days of work now, and there aren't many days of preparation this spring.
Star Worried But Finn.. ATsclt appears disconsolate and worried over the matter, as does Manager Mitchell. At the same time, the big pitcher still stands firm in hi8 demands and acV as if nothing can move him. Why Aleck came clear out here and why the club paid his fare here are two things which can't be underetood.
If Aleck only would get In line the Cubs really would seem like a possible pennant contender. Though two davS are not sufficient time to pass Judgment on a youngster, all indications are that the big hole on the infield has been plugged up by the addition of young Charley Hollocher.
Manager Mitchell clearly Intends to give this boy a thorough trial and a chance for the Job, because he has placed him on the regular squad, along with Merkle at first, KildufT at second and Peal at third. This combination worked both Saturday and Sunday and Hollocher was the bripht spot.
With, Mann, Paskert and Flack in the outfield, Kllllfer behind the bat, nnd a pitching staff composed of Aleck! Vaughn, Tyler, Douglas ar.d perhapfi Carter. with additional pitching Strength in one or two youngsters likely to stick, and utility out'flelding by Barber, infield assistance by Zeider or possibly one of the recruits, and secondary catchers in Elliott and O'Farrell or Daly, the Cubs of 101S should be In any fight. But a big percentage of their chances lies with Alexander.

NEW .YORK, March If.—WltH so Rifted a group of eluggers u.s Pin? Bodie, Frank Baker, Wallie Pipp and Derrlll Pratt now gathered on thi Tanks' payroll. Miller Huggins, the team's new manager, believes the Yanks .will be right out in front this season, so faf as batting goes at least.
Last season the Yanks enjoyed the experience of being the league's worst hitters. They were at the foot of the figure column with an average at bat of .238. The team's best batter, Frank Baker, hit only .282, and though the pitchers did thoir best all through the
of pitching they were so handicapped wilh the team's weakness at bat that tlieir twirling availed the team little.
Miller Kuggins' chief problem in taking ©Ver the snip erosion of the team has been the strengthening of it at bat and to this end he has picked off Derrlll Pratt and Pintv Bodie. There la every reason why Pratt should hit better this season than he did with the Browns last year. Moreover Pratt
TWO VET THIERS STILL IN BIG
Bender and Ames Only Stars of 1905 Major Chase Remaining ''Higher TJp.M
When the cohorts of John McGraw won the world's series from Connie Mack's Athletics, in 1015, Leon Ames and Chief Albert Bender were listed among the pitching luminaries of the two clubs. Today, after a lapse of twelve seasons, the same two are ranked among the stars of the National league. Matty is through, "Miner" Bro^n and other stars of the day are gone, but these two continue their winning ways and are the real veterans of the old league. i
Since that memorable series when Mathewson won four games, both of these old-timers have worn several changes of uniform. Ames has been shunted to the Reds and later to the Cardinals, while Bender passed to the Philadelphia Xationa.ls via the Federal league. Both have been counted out several times, but like a perennial plant, they come back each spring with enough "stuff" to keep some younger hurler off the regular staff.
It is a strange coincident that this pair, who spent the major portion of 'their careers in different leagues, should have pitched the same number of games. According to the life-time averages of the National league pitchI ers. Bender and Ames have toed the plate in 31T contents. Both have comI piled creditable averages, but Beader has the better record of the two,
Bender In Itixht Spot.
I The Chief has been fommate In having played the most of his seasons i with lirst division teams. While with
Mack the Athletics were generally fightlng for the pennant, and during his two seasons with Pat Moran, the Phillies have been a first division club. Two hundred and six games won and an average of .650. is the proud record of Bender. He has officiated jn fortyone shutouts, one no-hit game, one one-hit game and numerous contests in which the hits allowed were below live That his curves were sharp and his apeed dazzling is proven by the fact that 1,028 batters have struck out be"* fore him. And the old wizard is not through yet. With Alexander gone Moran is figuring on Bender to become the mainstay of his staff this reason.
The record of Ames. persistently followed for years by the "linx," is only a few degrees removed from that of JBender. Lon has won 171 contests and Jost 146, which gives him a mark of .539. Sinc^ leaving Xew York, Ames has played with losing clubs. His games were won on pifchinsf merit. since neither the Reds nor Cards were teams which gave their hurlers a large number of runs to work on. But the auburn-haired gentleman has succeeded in turning in one no-lilt game, two single-hit contests and 29 shutouts. His. control was not always the best, and in the course of his years he has pasped 951 batters to first base. As a sir Ike-out ar-

is the real thing in the wav_of a sec-ond-sacker and the Yanks nave needed just that for some little while.
Ping Bodie isi the rare sort, of slugger who is dangerous to any pitcher he confronts. LAst sesicon with the Athletics ho showed his best form at slugging and he should drive home many a run for the Yanks this season. With the strength P-odio will add to the outfield the team appears tn bo in first class shape hi both outfield and infield, or 011 paper at least.
Wallie Pipp has never failed to deserve the rep of being one of the few real hitters among the game's first basemen and though Frank Baker does no better at bat than he did last season it's hard to see how the team will fail to display a batting power that will make it a I've contender in the race this year. At any ratfe the midget Hnggins seems to have carried out his threat of putting punch in the team's batting and with an even break of luck the Yanks' rnmrtet of sluggers should come through as advertised and lean on tnat balL
veteran honors, to Grorer Cleveland Alexander goes the crown as leader of the National league in games won. The great pitcher, recently acquired by the Chicago Cubs, has won 190 games out of 278 pitched, which gives him the startling averago of .683 for six full seasons' work in the major leagues. In addition to this Alex is one of the few men to ever win "0 games per season in three successive years. tick* No-Hit Game.
By some quip of fate Alexander, the greatest of all present day pitchers, has been, denied a no-hft game. Often he has come close to the. goal, but was always robbed at the last moment. However, he has turned In five one-hit conflicts, while pitching 60 shutouts. Free passes are scarce when Alex is on the mound, and only 559 pass tickets have been Issued by him. Batters swing hard at his offerings. but 1,404 have missed altogether. The Cub has many years before him—If the war does not take him— and it Is not hazarding a great deal to say that he will tie the record of Ames and Bender before he retires.
Jack Coombs, "Slim" Saliee, "Rube" Marquard. Larry Cheney, Jim Vaughn and Jeff Tesreau are the other National league pitchers who have worked long and often for their various clubs. They are the only hurlers in Mr. Teller's league who have won more than 100 games. The others for tiie most part have been in less than five years end have still to make their reputation as durable pitchers.
As to the outfielders and Inflelders, it 1st the old time pitchers who take the palm in the National league, which apparently, deserves the title of "old league" for more reasons than one.

NORMAL IL SHOULD BE PROUD Of ITS OUINTET
Basketball Five Finishes Season With Nine Games Won Out of Fifteen.
By Rdgar Morphet.
The Normal high basketball team finished a fairly successful season last week, having won nine games and lost six. for an averago of .600. The team started strong and ended in the same way, although a temporary setback was suffered during the middle of the season, due to the fact that a number of the regmlars were kept out of the contests by illness or injuries.
During the season the gold and blue quintet succeeded *in piling' up a total of 328 points while opponents were able to score 272. The least number of points scored In any one game was 14, In the mix with the Wiley quintet during the Wabash tourney, while the largest number, 39, was scored in the defeat of the Riley team shortly after the holidays. Wiley scored the largest number of points of any of the opponents, during the first game between the two squads, piling up 22 during that eontest, while Perrysville was held to the lov est score of any of the rival high school teams, getting but 11 points. Only two teams succeeded in defeating the locals by a margin of 15 points in on encounter fought out when the former auintet was goiny in true championsnip form, while Rockville. Wabash and district champions, succeeded in piling up a margin of 14 points.
Four of the regulars will be lost by graduation this year, as well as one of the substitutes. The players who have fought their last battle on the basketball floor for the gold and blue are Capt. McAllister, Williams, Blocksom, iAwrence and Scott. The loss of the services of these men Is sure to be keenly felt next season.
During the season Blocksom led his team mates In points scored w*th 35 field goals for a total of 70 points. Whittenberg wa.s a close second with 27 field goals and 14 from the foul line, a total of 68 points. Williams scored 25 field goals and 12 fouls, and McAllister registered three field goals and one foul goal Lawrcnce, 4 field goals Boland, 8 fields and one foul Scott, 6 fields and ono foul Smith, 2 from the field Armstrong,
