He is endeavoring to secure Berkeley Bell as his out- standing star for 1935. The Chicago Cubs probably aren't 'through house-cleaning but they have made a pretty fair start to- ward dusting off some of their old ivory and putting a few new pieces of.baseball bric-a-brac in place for the 1935 National League pennant season. Considering the fact that the situation was pretty well con- tused at Louisville, what with the minor league magnates holding the floor when Dizzy Dean wasn't, it is a fair stroke of business for the Cubs to come off with two work- manlike pitchers of the calibre of 'Larry French, Pirate southpaw, and James 0.

HIGH PLAYING WAYNESBORO MONDAY 2.30 Annual Grid Classic Post- poned From Yesterday Be- cause Of Weather Postponed from yesterday on ac- count of bad weather the annual gridiron classic of the Hagerstown and Waynesboro High schools will be staged here Monday, afternoon, starting at 2:30 o'clock. Official announcement was made this morning by President John D. Zentmyer of the C. A.

after telephone conversation with Way- nesboro High school athletic offi- cials. playing field at the High stadium yesterday was a virtual sea of mud and the downpour would have kept hundreds away. After a consultation between officials of the two schools it was decided to postpone the game. Never before has a football game been postponed here because of weather conditions. Despite a steady downpour Handley High and Martinsburg burg played in Winchester yester- day and Handley came through with a 19 to 12 victory to place Handley in a three-cornered tie with Allegany and Waynesboro provided Waynesboro beats Ha gerstown.

30 Stanford's Indians consider the Rose Bowl eligibility xf Alabama, Pittsburgh and Colgate, the two service academies, Army and Navy, took almost complete charge of the football situation today. Barring receipt of the coveted invitation to compete in the New Year's day classic at Pasadena, the season was over for Alabama's un- defeated, untied crimson tide as well as for the two eastern powers, Pitt and Colgate, but for Army and Navy the main objective--their own private grudge fight--was- just ahead. Their 35th gridiron duel at Frank- lin field in Philadelphia tomorrow has been a sell-out for many days, mainly because for the first time in years the competitive angle ov- ershadows the pomp and pageantry that annually makes the Army- Navy game a social as well as a sporting event. On the face of the records, Navy's high-geared array, with Buzz Bor- ries as the sparkplug, will enter the fray with an "excellent chance of whipping the Cadets for the first time since 1921. Navy's -victory over Notre Dame, coupled with Ar- my's 12-6 setback by the Irish last week, probably will send.

the tars into the game in the strange role o.f favorites. Army, however, is con- ceding nothing in advance and ex- pects to trump Navy's Borries with a pair of aces in Jack Buckler and Joe Stancook. The extraordinary interest stir- red up by this game, coupled with Thanksgiving day's decisive results in many sectors, has overshadowed the balance of tomorow's slender program although several crucial games are on the grid.
