CUB'S WHO'S WHO
Joe McCarthy says he remembers having done nothing but play baseball when he was a kid.
He became manager at the age of 25, taking charge of the Wilkes-Barre team.
McCarthy managed the Louisville Club for ten years and went to the Cubs in 1926. He is 41 years old.
Guy Bush is the only major league pitcher sporting side burns.
He is a product of the Cotton States League; is 24 years old, and has a mean curve ball.
Charley Grimm was one of those 17-year-old beauties. He signed with Connie Mack at that age but never played with the A's. He is 30 and gets credit for "making" the Cubs' infield.
Roger Hornsby batted better than .400 four consecutive years, won seven batting championships in 14 seasons and has a life-time batting average of .365. He is 33.
Speed on the paths, a deadly peg and better than the average batting ability, make 30-year-old Hazen Cuyler a great ball player.
Hack Wilson at 29 is one of the biggest attractions in the majors.
He goes in for slugging in a great big way and is noted for the number of homers he clouts as well as for the number of times he fans.
One of the best ball players Dixie ever produced is Riggs Stephenson. He is a natural hitter and has a life-time major league batting average of .337. His age is 30 years.
Pat Malone was such a cutup in the minors that the majors passed him up despite his blinding speed.
Then Boss McCarthy grabbed him.
Pat will be the 1929 strikeout king of his league. He is 27.
Charlie Root, another one of the 30-year-olds with the Cubs, originally was a fast ball pitcher. He picked up a curve a few years ago and won 26 games in 1927.
