CUB RECRUIT PROVES A STAR

Manager Bresnahan Predicts That Zabel Will Be One of Best Hurlers in National League.

George Zabel, who recently pitched the Cubs to victory in a 19inning contest with the Brooklyn Dodgers, will be one of the best young pitchers in the National league this year, if Bresnahan of the Cubs has his way. All last season Roger thought Zabel was destined to be a great hurler, and believed then that with the

proper kind of coaching he would develop into a star. The Cub manager has devoted much time to the young flinger and thinks that he has taught him enough to depend on him, as one of the regulars —that is, as one of the twirlers to be used constantly with Cheney, Vaughn, Pierce, Lavender and Humphries.
