There was a lot of speculation over the National league loop last spring as to what the Cubs would do with Cuyler added to their outfield that already boasted of Wilson and Stephenson. It was bruited about that here were three .350 hitters on one team and they would crash their way But through all league defenses. Stephenson fell off 20 points in his hitting and Cuyler, a demon in the springtime, always slumps in hitting In midsummer, so the Cubs fell just a few games short of the flag. They are talking about Hornsby and his .400 hitting average and what he will do for the Cubs this year. But the Cubs still have that potential outfield. All three of these men are what they call natural hitters. They have the eye, the stance, the swing and the aptitude of the d slugger, and men of this type are always dangerous and always apt to come back with a .350 average. Even though they did not play up to their full form last season there Is no doubt but that this trio, on their records, rank with the Yankee trio as the two best outfields ia baseball at this time. Stephenson batted .324 last season and batted in 80 runs, and made 36 as his contribution to extra base clouting. Stevies batting record in the majors averaged .340, his slump in 1928 bringing him down to .330. ' Cuyler batted only .284 last season, a drop of more than 70 points from his 1925 record, but he scored 92 runs and batted in 79 runs, and he led both leagues in stolen bases with 37, made 17 home runs and 25 This is a remarkable offensive performance to go with such a modest batting average. Then Cuyler is a ball hawk in the field. Cuyler hit for an average of .344 free-hande- six-ye- s. during the years of 1924, 1925, 1926. He is twenty-nin- e years old and played six seasons on the big time. His batting slump of the past two seasons is inexplicable. He is fast, keen, smart and takes excellent care of himself. Hack Wilson has had a brief but troubled career on the big time. When be came to McGraw in 1924 he blossomed early that spring into a corking fielder, a fast runner, a slashing hitter and an aggressive and popular player. The Polo fans doted on him. But he went into a batting slump in midsummer that changed the cheers into a wreath of raspberry. The next spring he could not hit at all, so McGraw sent him to Toledo with a string attached. The string slipped or broke or something and Wilson became Toledo property. When he fell back to double A he suddenly found himself and began to slug the ball. The Cubs grabbed him in the draft next, winter. Stephenson once hit .371 for Cleveland in the American league. That was back in 1924. He was an infielder then, and his defensive play was so weak that It did not offset his big batting average. They finally let him He slugged his go to Indianapolis. way back to the big show, this time appearing with the Cubs as an outfielder. He worked like a Trojan to perfect his outfield play and finally succeeded. He hit .338 in 1926 and Ste,344 in 1927, and became a star. phenson came from the University of Alabama and is twenty-nin- e years Here is an outfield capable of hitting right at the .350 mark. Add Hornsby with his .400 batting punch to all this dynamite and yon have offensive power that is sure to gain a lot of ground in any campaign against any foe.

Stone-hapresident and principal owner of the Giants, his club Is one of the four which will fight it out for the pennant and he believes that the Giants nnder John J. McGraw have enough of an edge on the three others to turn the tide in their favor, barring the possibility of serious Injury to important players at some critical period of the race. "McGraw has brought back from the South a well balanced team that has overcome its greatest weakness of a year ago, he said. That weakness was its Inexperience. The young fellows who lacked experience last year now have it and the additions we have made have added strength where it was needed. The race will not be an easy one, from what I can observe and from what Manager McGraw tells me. The Cubs, Pirates and St. Louis must be reckoned with. But if the fight really is among these three clubs and the Giants, you will find the Giants in every scrap and battling to the last. I think McGraw has put together a fine team. The pitching is much improved, the catching should be greatly bettered and the reserves are strong. McGraw Is very keen on having reserve strength and he seems to be pretty well satisfied with what he now has. I said the fight looked as if it would be among four clubs. As a matter of fact, it may be a much different race, with several other clubs making trouble. Everything considered, I feel optimistic about the Giants coming through. I have taken a leaf from Manager McGraws book, however, and refuse to be precise about our winning. There are such things as jinxes and I would hate to conjure one up to injure our chances.
