The Chicago Nationals, marooned on Catalina Island, Cal, should no longer be called the Cubs. There is either too much novice or too much veteran to be wholly Cub.

Yet there la all the charm of the 13-14-15 puzale about them, with a new manager, nien and a seasoning of old birds. The study at the Pittsurgh camp at Paso Robles is centered on whether Warer and Rhyne can come through regulars.

Whether Harris makes changes doesn't, he has to get his team playing pennant ball by April. The St. Louis Browns will need a bit more pitching at Tarpon Springs, where they have been throwing the ball this early, and they want infield steadiness. The Erooklyns are working on the main building and all the wings of it. They have got lots to do infield, outfield and everywhere.

The New York Yankees are throwIng everything into establishing a stable infield. Babe Ruth, healthy and fit, will help the team because he permeates joyous mental inflation. At Augusta Ty Cobb will work with the men of 1925 and a bit of added clay to try to model the pennant statue that has crumbled so often when Ty got above the waistline. He has plenty of clay, but it is the shaping of it. Wille Klein Is Leading In Golf Meet At Lakeland LAKELAND, Feb.

"The worst face injury I ever received," says Cully, "was when Cook of Vancouver slashed me across the face and broke my nose in three places. It took seven stitches to close up the gash.

JERRY BRYAN, Of Uncertain Quantity PHILLIPS HI BEATEN BY SIMPSON IN LOOP Crimsons Must Play Off Tie With Panther Cubs In Prep Cage League BY BILLY BOYKIN The Purple Tornado of Simpson rose to the heights of its former glory for the first time this season at the Boys Club Tuesday afternoon when they trounced the highly respected Crimson fold of Phillips High, seemingly certain of the prep league championship, by the unquestioned score of 25 to 20 in one of the most heated struggles of the year. The Southern frosh lowered the colors of Woodlawn by 29-25, and hence gave them a deadlock with Phillips for the leadership of the league The defeat administered Phillips was one of the greatest upsets of the year in prep circles and came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Ben Chapman was missing from the Crimson ranks, but Simpson started fast and outfought the Phillips cohorts, beat them to the ball and shot like the Tornado stars of old in their sensational victory. Phillips and the Southern freshmen have each lost a pair of struggles, one to each other and one to an outside team.

The deadlock will require another game between the duo to decide the championship of the league. Just when this game will be played is rather doubtful, as Phillips will enter the district tourney Friday and Saturday and will likely prefer to wait until after the tournaments are over before encountering the hard playing rats for titular honors. When it does come, the big thriller of the will very probably take place. It will be two fine playing, hard fighting battling for a championship. Simpson Stars Simpson jumped away with a bang from the start in their game with Phillips by looping a trio of field goals before the almost certain champions were aware the game was on.

The Crimsons began fighting back with great spirit, but the great fight Ten Colleges Are Entered In S.I.A. Basket Ball Meet GREENVILLE, S. Feb. 24.

A. C. By Score Of 36 To 32 they were putting up merely made them over-anxious and inaccurate. The Crimsons could not get going right, and the Simpsons were staging a terrific, cool game which brought results. Reid, chiefly, aided materially by Green and Fulton, were making their shots count and they were Gropping with regularity.

The Tornado was leading at the half by seven points and then practically held their own in the final stanza. Malcolm Laney, with two long shots from near center toward the beginning of the second half, almost deadlocked things and put the Crimsons in fine position to stop the winners, but this threat died out. The Southern frosh had plenty of trouble with the Colonels of Woodlawn, who almost handed Phillips the champ'enship despite the latter's loss to Simpson. The rats strong, but toward the close were almost headed. Frock Pate and Walton Laney looped the netting for several field goals near the close and deadlocked the count on the rats.

However a pair of field goals by Neipp and O' Brien gave the frosh their margin of victory by four points as the gun barked. Vickery, of the Howard rats. took It upon himself to beat the University Gamecocks in the initial struggle of the afternoon, and he did it right away. He scored 13 points in the first half and then added six more in the final stanza, more than enough to annex the battle. Tommy Hutchins and en Brasfield performed well for university.
