The Cubs, in recent years, haven't been known particularly as crowd pleasers. Of course, they played good baseball, drew their share of the gate receipts and had thousands of loyal fans. But there has been a definite lack of that undeflnable something known as color. Color is the quantity that Babe Ruth po-ssessedand Bobby Jones, Red Grange, Jack Demps'.y and Bill Tilden. Lou Novikoff, the Cubs' recently acquired slugger, has that same strange mob appeal. Followers of the Pacific Coast league declare definitely that he will be one of the best known players in baseball by the end of the 1941 season. Their optimism has a firm basis. Novikoff, champion batter of the Coast league last season, has topped the hitters of every circuit in which he has played. In 1940 he played ' ' ' LOU NOVIKOFF 173 games with the Los Angeles club. He batted .363, hit 41 home runs, led the league in safe hits and runs batted in, made only seven er-rors from his position in left field, and won considerably more than his share of games with well-time- d hits. .452 for 36 Games During the 1939 season he played 110 games with Tulsa in the Texas league and batted .368. Finishing the season in Los Angeles, he hil .452 in 36 games, batting in an aver age of more than one run per game. Lou caused considerable anguish in the Cub stronghold at the begin-ning of spring training this year. A-lthough he was to be given his big chance, Lou decided that the figures on the first contract tendered him were altogether too small. He be-came a holdout. Though official front office figures weren't available, reliable sources revealed Novikoff signed a $5,000 contract as against an original offer of $3,250 and against his recent demand of $6,500. Baseball writers on the West coasl are almost unanimous in voicing the conviction that Novikoff will hit anj kind of pitching. They further af firm that some day he will be on of the greatest hitters in major league history. Herman's Menace Another colorful lad on the Cubs roster Is Lou Stringer, a swaggering rookie who hit only .261 for Los An-geles last year, but who, neverthe-less, believes he can dislodge second baseman Billy Herman. Stringer's fielding is first rate. In fact, it's better than that. He often plays 10 feet deeper than the aver-age second baseman and because of that manages to cut off an extra quota of hits. He has an unusually strong arm and is exceptionally fast. And he plays baseball with his whole heart. He has all the necessary fire and enthusiasm. It will be a tough job for Stringer to grab Herman's job. Billy has been batting around .300 for more than 10 years, and so long as he keeps in the neighborhood of that figure, Stringer will find it difficult to win the post. Given time, however, he will be one of the topnotchers Then, too, the Cubs have Dizzy that is Dean. To some people reminiscent of a plague. Others, and probably a majority, are plug-ging for 01 Dis to make a come back. That's one outstanding thing about the older of the two Dean boys --he allows no neutral feeling. Either you're for him or against him. In either case he slays in the public eye. Both Dean and Novikoff have been called crackpots and worse. String-er's peccadilloes are fewer and have But all received less publicity. three have one thing in common They're baseball players clean down to their spiked shoes.
