By HENRY McLEMORE
I P Writer
DALLAS — (UP) — The Am-
erican Medical Journal, and not,
a newspaper, is the proper place
for an article to appear on the
Chicago Cubs of 1941.
In looking over the notes I
gathered on the Cubs before
leaving Santa Ca'talina Island
for Florida. I find that so many
of them are recently dicharged
hospital patients that it is a won-
der the team didn’t select Balti-
more or Rochester. Minnesota,
as a training site, and engage
some good, tactical surgeon as
a manager instead of Jimmv
Wilson.
If the Cubs better themselves
in the National league race this
year, it will be a high tribute to
every surgeon, general practi-
tioner, interne, nurse, and ord-
erly who helped get them in
shape since the close of the | ,earn
1940 season.
Many Of Them Ail
To start with, there are the
mysterious arms of Dizzy Dean
and Clay Bryant. Neither did
enough throwing last year to
break a greenhouse roof from
five paces, and each has seen
enough bone-setters to borne ev-
en a man who loves bonesetters.
Jake Moot.v. another pitcher, fin-
ished up the season with what
the cub trainer, Andy Lothshaw,
terms a “chronicle” sore arm
| and has been looked at. by half
j the doctors who don't advertise
| and nearly all of them who do.
i Bill Lee. who has been hold-
| ing out on the strength of 17
I defeats last season, has been
operated on from kneecap to
I ear lobes, and. to turn a terrible
| pun. only hopes to pitch to "su-
I :ure" club fans. This is just a
j beginning of the list of recently
j ailing Cubs. Len Mcrullo. rookie
\ infielder, is getting over a sore
throwing arm Harvy Storye,
San Francisco
tress. For years, many Doctors have used
pepsin compounds as vehicles, or car-
"iers to make other medicines agreeable
to your stomach. So be sure your laxa-
tive contains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on
Dr. Caldwell's Laxative Senna combined
with Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully
the Laxative Senna wakes up lazy nerves
and muscles in your intestines to bring
welcome relief from constipation. And
the good old Syrup Pepsin makes this
laxative so comfortable and easy on
your stomach. Even finicky children
love the taste of this pleasant family
laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative
Senna at your druggist today. Try one
laxative that comforts your F'Vnach, too.
broke a leg last June and is
taking his first exercise on it.
Glen Russell, who is counted
on to take care of first base
business, was operated on for
appendicitis towards the close of
last season, and is still a trifle
man. Phil Cavaretta has had ;,n-
I other open ion on his twice br.s
| ken ankle, and Hank Leiiier
i whose head once took a terrible
| heating from one of Hob Fellei s
I fast, halls, crashed into a wall
during the city series with the
White Sox last October. And
as for Angie Gala t, ho broke his
kneecap and his career seemed
at an end when he left Chicago
last season.
Pretty Screwy Club
Now for another angle on the
Cubs: They are certain to give
the Brooklyn Dodgers a first
class battle for the title of
“screwiest” club in the league.
They have Dean to start with
and it will come as a comfort to
those who love the Dizzy one’s
antics, to know that the ol’ cot-
tonpicker has not allowed the
loss of his pitching stuff to calm
him down one hit. Lou Novikoff,
the mad Russian, will he on
hand, and he likes nothing bet-
ter than to play the accordion
while waiting his turn to hat. He
also sings. Charlie Grimm is
hack’ this time as coach of the
he used to manage. His
two years as a radio announcer
only served to make Charley a
trifle giddier.
The front office is not without
its angles, either. The head man
now, with the title of general
manager, is former newspaper-
man, Jimmy Gallagher. When he
was hack of a Chicago typewrit-
er, Gallagher was the team’s
toughest critic, and spent a
great deal of his time lacerat-
ing various Cub hides. The most
engaging personality at Catalina
when I was there was Boots
Weber, the “retired" vice-presi-
dent. From all I could see, Boots
was busier than he ever was.
The team’s mascot is a hit
unusual, too. Ii is a left-hand-
ed catcher's mitt belonging to
Charlie Grimm, and which
Grimm says was used to warm
up Babe Adams in 1909. Il is a
well-behaved mitt, however.
You figure that out, and you
might also figure out the work-
ing of the Cubs most promising
young catcher a gink named Mc-
Cullough, who insists on catch-
ing without a chest protector.
Take 'em away, doctor.

A handful of Dallas Rebels
were at work Thursday on a
city park diamond in the North
Texas city, the second of the
eight Texas league teams to
swing into spring training.
Batterymen and a few other
players living in and near Dallas
flexed winter Links out of their
muscles as ’teen-age kids stood
around and watched. Wally Das-
hiell, Dallas’ new manager, who
hopes to make the team a win-
ning one, said that until Sunday,
when all Rebel players report,
the workouts would consist of
calisthenics, jogs around the
field, pepper games, fly shagg-
ing, light infield practice and
easy throwing.
Houston, San Tone Strong
At first glance around the cir-
cuit, before any of the clubs
show, in spring games, just what
they look like, Houston and San
Antonio appear to he the lea-
gue’s strongest members.
Houston, with most of its
championship 1910 crew back,
will lie a natural favorite. The
San Antonio club undoubtedly
will benefit front the strength-
ening of the parent St. Louis
Browns’ farm system. Vernon
Stephens, flashy shortstop; Sam
Marshany, the Texas loop’s un-
official hatting champ of last j
year: and George Stevens, de-.
pendable first baseman, all are
with the Browns hut San Anto-
nio observers believe they will I

The Beaumont Exporters, a
club which will he almost en-
tirely rebuilt, opened practice
last Monday for pitchers and
catchers. The infielders and out-1
fielders join the workouts March 1
10. Gordon Hinkle, new catcher- j
manager, is the only regular
for that position returning from j
last year’s team and only two j
infielders, one outfielder and one j
regular pitcher will he back.
The Tulsa Oilers, devoid of
star material hut with several!
good men around, will open j

day. Roy Johnson begins his
second year as manager.
