MARCH THF

CUBS TRAINING ON QUAINT ISLAND

Williams Arrives at Avalon for Sojourn With Chicago Ball Players and Sea Lions Col. Joe Finds Wild Goats Also Are Companions of League Champs on Stretch of Land Owned by Wrigley; Grimm Full of Confidence. BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Writer AVALON. Cal . March 2.—This is where the Chicago Cubs, champions of the National League, train. It's a tiny resort on the tip of Catalina Island In the Pacific Ocean. The bland is 26 miles from Los Angeles harbor. It sticks up in the ocean like the back of an enormous sleepy mammal. A twin motor plane sets you down on its rocky shore in a scant 20 minutes. A winding, up-hill road leads to the Cubs’ camp and the baseball diaVnond.

On the way up strange guttural barkings assault the ears. You wonder if this can be the Cubs still growling about Umpire Moriatry's

decisions in the World Series. It turns out to be sea lions at plav. They thrive here in large numbers. You learn later from Mr. Gabby Hartnett, the great catcher that this is the mating season for seals—and that every murmur of the off-shore breeze is a caress of romance for

Williams

the quaint little things. Mr. Hartnett is an authority on seals. He once caught one thrown from the top of Washington Monument, or am I confusing him with Top Row and Time Supply? The Cubs train here mainly because Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing gum tycoon, owns the island as well as the club. He inherited it from his late father whose body lies in a vault not far from the baseball camp. Some of the irreverent veterans try to frighten rookies by warning them against the roving wraith of the elder Wrigley. The island is no place for a guy who frighteivs easily. There are thousands of wild goats here. This does not include the left-handed pitchers. Only strangers will step on- anything hairy resembling a rug. More often than not it proves to be a buffalo, or at the very least Man Mountain Dean. Grey’s Former Home The Wrigleys have a winter home here, Zane Grey, the author fisherman, used to live here until the Ifishl rose in massed rebellion. Grey Took so many fish out of the waters arrtund here there wasn't anything left but orange peels, lunch boxes and old newspapers. A fish gets used to these things but he must have company, too. Mr. Grey doesn't live here any more. He used to be a professional ball player himself. This was back in what Herbert Hoover likes to call the good old days. They say Mr. Grey got a squint at one of the Cubs playing golf in linen shorts on the island course and that was too much for him. Other “name" people are identified with the island. I was shown a Spanish looking house said to belong to Tom Mix. This seemed very doubtful. Mix couldn't get his hat on this island. It is only seven miles wide at its most expansive point. At any rate it is interesting and highly different as a baseball camp. “Light” Literature Mr. Charles Grimm, the old gas meter reader from Missouri, manages the Cubs and thinks they will repeat. Incidentally, he is getting up a list of light literature for me to read. The old gas meter reader is an authority on light literature. tie once caught a library full of light literature thrown from the top of Washington monument. What's that? It may have been Blackjack Pershing at that. Anyway, Mr. Grimm believes his Cubs can do it again, and he tells you the St. Louis Cards and not tl. New York Giants are the team th must beat . . . “These three clu figure to niske the race, just as \ ?y did last year. It's not going to b a cake walk for any team. The league strength will be more even--1" distributed. The Brooklyns will be harder to beat and so will the Cincinnatis. The Pittsburgh are strong enough to go places it they get the pitching, but that’s a big “if.” I reminded Mr. Grimm the “ifs” are always big in the spring and especially this spring with inflation getting closer. A y >ar ago whenever Mr Grimm brushed off his coat collar “ifs" would fall all over the floor and roll off into the corners and under the bed simpering like silly little fools and it must have been very embarrassing to a grown man. Uncertain Last Spring At that time Mr. Grimm had no firm notion as to where his Cubs were going to wind up and he thought they'd do well to finish third. What with the uncertainties he had to contend with in the infield and in the outfield, to say nothing of the disturbing situation in the Far East. But this spring Mr. Grimm thinks he can look into the future with greater clarity and confidence. He spent more than half of last season trying to shuffle himself a winning combination. When he finally hit upon it, the combination went on to win 22 straight games—ft record of any Cub team of all time—and the championship. The old gas meter reader still has the combination intact with the exception of Freddie Lindstron, who has moved on to the Brooklyns, and since Lindstrom was purposely cut adrift the feeling must be that he will not be missed very' much if at all.

‘Open House ’ Scheduled at A. B. C. Tourney Site Public Invited to Inspect Coliseum, Exposition Building; Color Scheme Added to Alley Equipment. BY BERNARD HARMON CITIZENS of Indianapolis, who have had A. B. C. tournament preached to them for the last year or more, will have an opportunity to see that it's more than a contest between the first three letters of the alphabet, when the doors of the State Fairground Coliseum and the adjoining Exposition building, site of the 1936 affair, are thrown open to the public Sunday afternoon. i

The open house is scheduled between 1 and 5, and according „o the announcement yesterday of Bill Slaughter and George Brown, who

are in charge of the installation of the tournament alleys and equipment, persons visiting the site will find the entire layout ready to greet the opening squads the following nigh t. Mr. Slaughter, a BrunswickBalke - Coilender Cos. representa-

tive, is in charge of the construction of the J 2 alleys that will bear the brunt of the 37 days of firing by pastimers from ail parks of the country. Brown, who acts as advance agent for Elmer Baumgarfcen, A. B. C. secretary, has charge of the installation of score boards, score-keepers booths, paddocks and all other equipment necessary for the operation of the big event. Although the general construction and appearance of the alleys are practically the same as in all late tournaments, visitors who have witnessed previous events, will, find some color added to the equipment. Light blue back cushions will be seen in the pits, the same color will be carried out in the cappings of the divisions and gutters, red and blue newell posts will replace the usual natural colors and the iron work of the pin-setting machines will also be found dressed up in the new hue. Ventilated divisions, another up-to-date addition to alley equipment, will he used for the first time during the coming event. The system drAws dampness from the alleys and tends to keep down dirt and dust that accumulates on the surfaces at times. The ball returns are capped in rubber, assuring less noise than in the past.

THE adjoining exposition building, better known to State Fair visitors as the “Cow Barn,” will house a cafeteria, A. B. C.

sec retary’s office, press rooms, telegraph offices, check rooms, souvenier s t ands, bowlers’ dressing room, wash rooms, cigar stand, barber shop and othpr concessions thatare added for the comfort and pleasure of participants and spectators. Much credit for the

fUf if f

remarkable conversion of the barren buildings into one of the most beautiful layouts that ever greeted visiting pinmen goes to Ray Fa tout, chairman of construction of the local tournament corporation. He supervised the transformation from the time the plans were drawn up. and will continue in charge until the big affair is completed. That Indianapolis will play host to the largest A. B. C. gathering in history of the annual classic, has been an established fact since the deadline for entries fell, but official count was not disclosed until yesterday. when Baumgar ten's office advised local offiicals that 2853 five-man teams. 4567 two-men combinations and 9178 individuals would vie for honors and a slice of the huge prize melon. The largest prize fund in history of the great indoor athletic carnival, 5108.590, will be awarded to the various winners. The former high in cash prizes was $107,790 in the Chicago event of 1929. Secretary Baumgarten arrived in the city today to take charge of the operation of the tourney. He will establish headquarters at the Fairgrounds, and will handle all affairs until scores are rechecked and prize-winning checks are mailed to the winners. The secretary placed his stamp of approval on the local officials’ plans to have news-reels taken of the various highlights of the five-week program. Paul Crosier, president of the local corporation has started arrangements with “movie” representatives in hopes of putting the event in films for the first time in history. Nightly radio broadcasts fiom the tourney alleys are also planned. Station WIRE is expected to put the event on the air from 10:30 till 11 each evening. a a a SPECIAL admission tickets, selling at three for $1 were placed on sale Saturday and will be available to all members of local sanctioned bowling leagues. Each of the tickets 1 is good for one admission to the big show, and according to Harold Koch. chairman of the ticket committee

of the tourney corporation, hundreds had been disposed of last night. The “bargain sale” will continue until midnight Saturday, and salesmen will be present at all league sessions during the week, giving local kegelers an opportunity to purchase the ducats. .a a a George Godwin, who faces the task of organizing 32 teams to represent the Indianapolis Fire-Department for A. B. C. competition, reports nice turnouts resulted in the two meetings of last week. Godwin, however, needs many more smackers to round out his roster of teams, and is issuing another call to all “smokeeaters'’ interested to attend two sessions scheduled for this week. Tomorrow and Wednesday at tho Illinois Alleys, corner Illinois and Ohio-sts, he will assemble his crews and he requests that' all men off duty be preseTit. Those desiring to become a member of one of the fivesomes need not he experienced bowlers, for George guarantees to convert you into one in event you have never came in contact with the elusive maples before. a a a The first alley tournament ever held in the city for doubles teams of feminine pastimers is scheduled at the new Pennsylvania Alievs over the coming weekend. It will be a 350-scratch affair and is in charge of Race Johns. A large entry is expected, assuring participants of one of the fanciest prize funds ever awarded in a woman's tourney. Information can be received from Mrs. Johns, who may be reached at Riley 0098. a a a Big Jack Thibodeau, star golfer of the Hillcrest Country Club, can now be listed as a star bowler of the same organization, for last Friday night during the loop's session at the Pritchett Alleys he totaled 726 to carry off the individual scoring honors of the week. He tossed games of 207, 243 and 276 for the big series. Manuel Schonecker hit 700 on the nose to nab the week's runnerup honors.

NEEDS OF ALL MEN SAME, SAYS RECTOR The Rev. Powell Points to Christian Benefits. Men and their needs are the same the world over, as shown by the benefits shared alike in Christianity, the Rev. Ainger Powell, Christ Church rector, said at noon lenten service today. “The fact that men of the highest civilization or none, the Roman and the Goth, the Mandarin and the untutored savage of the Liberian hinterland, the college graduate and the Bowery tough have found in Christianity the answer to their deepest needs is proof conclusive that these needs are basically and essentially the same. “The difference between the Englishman and the German, the Frenchman and the Italian, the American and all of these is much more apparent than real. It is proverbial that human nature is much the same all the world over; we are none of us unique and in these days we tend to become more like one another. “Yet we are all inclined to exaggerate the fact of our individuality. Many of us are sure that we work far harder than most people we know, that we earn far less than we deserve. “Even our headaches are unique and as to our sins, when we have grace enough to confess them, we qualify our admission by the worthless alibi or excuse that they are due entirely to the unbearable temptations to which we are exposed “None of us is called upon to endure the unendurable. Always with our temptations is presented the way of escape. We cannot base our hope for pardon on the ground that our individual case demands and deserves special consideration?” Kokomo Financier Dies By United Press KOKOMO. Ind.. March 2.—Albert A.
