Cubs Set at First Base, Owner Says

Wrigley Declares Chicago Is |

Not Dickering for Mize.

CHICAGO, March 31 (U. P).— Phil Wrigley, Chicago Cubs owner, said today his team is not in the market for Johnny Mize of the St Louis Cardinals or any other veteran first baseman to take the place of Jim (Rip) Collins, who was sold

this week to the Los Angeles Angels. | \ \

“We've got two younger first basemen to play instead of Collins,” he said. “He is getting cld. If he has a good year at Los Angeles we can always bring him back. As far as I know Mize is not for sale.” The Cubs will enter the season with Phil Cavarretta as regular first haseman and Rookie Glen Russell as a reserve.

Showers Force Tournament To Be Delayed:

[EFROYMSON’S |

—Under a smiling Georgia sun, the 47 participants in the Masters’ Tourney make their opening trek over the Augusta National Golf Club course today. Because rain delayed the tournament one day, this brigade of topflight professionals and amateur linksmen will play 18 holes today and 18 tomorrow and double up| with 36 Sunday. The postponement, the third in six years of Masters’ competition, had no effect in the betting last night. The three favorites, still quoted 8-1, were Henry Picard, defending champion; Ralph Guldah], U. S. Open king, and Sam Snead, biggest money winner of 1938.

Everyone agreed with Clifford Roberts, tournament committee general chairman, that the postponement had been smart in view of yesterday’s rain which drenched the course and pared down the gallery to less than 150 cash customers.

How It Works

But what of the stringless racquet? A duffer will lock up before he makes a shot and will never know what sort of contact he makes with a ball unless this system is used. By bouncing a ball on the ground and striking at it with a stringless racquet the player is required to keep his head down, This same procedure also develops timing and Mr. Brown said it has
