Chicago Fans Watch With Interest Progress of McCarthy’s Cubs. A. L. TEAMS MOVE ON Browns Not Expected to Fold Up. BY WILLIAM J. DUNN. United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 2.—The first lap of the 1929 major league baseball races nears its end today. Friday the eastern clubs of the American circuit will head west for their first invasion of that territory. In the National League the invasion of the east by the western quartet of clubs starts this afternoon at Ptyladephia where Joe McCarthy's Chicago Cubs unlimber their bats against the Phillies. Chicago fans will watch with fearful interest the eastern trip of the Cubs. Interest in the Cubs is high hroughout the east because of their reputed strength with willow and the fact that they are preseason favorites to win the flag. East Is Interested Especially is this true here In New York where the fans figure them as the team the Giants, must beat if they are to return to the pennant-winning class. The Cubs make their 1929 metropolitan debut in Flatbush next Tuesday opposing the Dodgers. The series with the Giants, expected to be one of the outstanding early season, clashes of the season, follows. The Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals open in the east Friday, the former at Brooklyn and the latter at the Polo Grounds here. Pittsburgh opens at Boston Saturday. The Braves, out in front in the National at the first turn, will get their acid test within the next two weeks. If they remain at or near the head of the procession after playing Pittsburgh, St. Louis. Cincinnati and Chicago in succession they will have won for themselves the rank of contenders. Cards in Good Spot If, however, they strike a tartar in the western combinations, it will be pretty safe to mark them for the discard and a spirited battle to place as high in the second division as possible. In the American League, however, there is no obvious reason to expect the St. Louis Browns, leaders at the end of the lap, to fold up and retire. The Browns have been playing consistently good ball in the west and should be able to hold their own with New York, Philadelphia or Washington while Boston should offer no especial problem. St. Louis will enjoy the advantage of meeting the easterners on familiar ground at Sportsman's park and should receive their sternest test several weeks later when they start their first jaunt through this section. BUTLER NINE LOSES Ball Teachers Hit Timely to Defeat Indianapolis Club. The Butler baseballers dropped a 7-to-4 verdict to the Ball Teachers nine of Muncie at Washington park Wednesday afternoon. Timely hitting by the Muncie club was costly for the Indianapolis team. Score: Butler 010 102 000—4 9 3 Muncie 012 001 102—7 8 5 Wolfe and Reynolds; Roetkin and Stoker.

Tom Beall TOM BEALL’S back at work. The smiling chief dietitian of famous “gasoline alley” where drivers and mechanics already are grooming their mounts for the 500mile race at the Indianapolis Speedway, May 30. is back to his job of feeding the hungry speed pilots. Beall has been feeding race drivers for a good many years and his stand, just behind the pits, is the gathering place on sunny afternoons where the speed pilots, mechanics and sports scribes get together for a friendly hot dog, perhaps a juicy steak and a little goodnatured “kidding.”

in their demands at the Aurora track, over which the Chicago season was to have opened. Officials of the Aurora plant countered by refusing demands and reiterating statements that the track would open Friday if horsemen bring in enough entries to allow the entry list to reach par. The principal point at issue was the proposed 1 per cent tax which the horsemen say should be levied on all winning purses and to be credited to the Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association. Meanwhile the owners were debating whether to enter their horses today. The Aurora officials said they might call off the entire meet if not enough entries to run Friday's program were placed in the box today. The entry box was open to owners and it was believed that enough of them would enter horses to insure opening of the Chicago race season Friday.

May Bar Women From Olympics Bn United Press LONDON, May 2. amateur athletic officials started a movement today to combat the section of the international Olympic committee, which urges that women be barred from competition in the Los Angeles meet in 1932. The question of female competition in the international classic has become acute. A considerable section of the committee argued in favor of banning women competitors and at the recent meeting at Lausanne the committee decided to postpone the question until the next meeting of the committee, at Berlin during the end of this year.
