Hornsby to Help Cubs Return of Bruin Pilot to Second Base Will Add to Power. Editor’s Note—This Is the tenth of a series dealing with 1931 prospects of the various major league baseball clubs. By United Press NEW YORK, April 2.—With Rogers Hornsby and his big bat back on second base the Chicago Cubs, who failed by but two games in 1930 to win the Nations 1 League race, must be rated as strong contenders in the 1931 flag chase. The Cubs are expected to lineup for the opening of the championship season as follows: Cuvier, If; English. 3b: Hornsby. 2b: Wilson. cf: Stephenson, If; Hartnett, c: Grimm, lb: Jurges. ss; Root. p. Jurges, the only newcomer, is regarded by Hornsby as “the best infield prospect in the majors’ and is almost certain to win a regular berth. Should he fail to live up to expectations, English will be returned to short with Lester Bell retaining his third base pest. Bell was a flop last season and thrid base was the weak spot in the Cubs’ machine. English has had considerable experience at the “hot corner” and if Jurges fulfills his training camp promise the Cubs will be stronger on the left side of their infield than at any time during the last decade. Cuyler, Hartnett, Wilson and Grimm rate with the best in the league at their respective positions. Stephenson, a veteran, is expected to retain his position against the strong challenge of Johnny Moore, Coast League rookie. Hornsby’s return is certain to increase the offensive power of the team. Blair, his substitute of last ye2r, will be retained for utility roles. The Cubs’ pitching strength has been increased by the addition of three veteran major league pitchers, Bob Smith, Les Sweetland and Jakie May and several promising rookies. Charley Root’s throwing arm has completely recovered and with Malone, Blake, Bush and Teachout all showing good form the Cubs beast and adequate mound staff.
