Ottawa devotees of the great nation

Good Prospects.
According to statements this morn
ing by local baseball officiate, Mc
Whort'er of the Moline Three Byes
is the most probable prospect who
will perfi riii here when IHinn issue
his initial call, However there has
not been any final signing of con
tracts or anything like that but never
theless it looks as though McWhor
ter will don a Cnb uniform this year
Won 26 Games for Moline.
McWhorter, whose home i- ill
North Carolina, is a crack hurler He,
together with Pitcher Sullivan, was
given the credit of having won th"
Three Eye league pennant for the
Moline club. During the season he
won twenty-six games for Moline. He
can handle the old pill in an aston
ishing fashion and can make it do all
kinds of tricks when he wants to.
It will be remembered that Mi
WTiorter was called to Ottawa last
summer to help the local club out.
He was supposed to have pitched for
the Cubs one Sunday, but for Rome
reason or other he didn't get a chance
to display his wares. Nevertheless,
Dunn and his associates were inform
ed by several who have seen him in
action that he is a regular performer
and Mo'Whorter at that time hinted
that he woulff like to b" a regular,
member rf the Cubs team this iea-1
son. Of course, there are several '
others with whtm Dunn has been
dickering and there is a possibility
thai one of them may be signed, but
McWhorter stands the best chance
of them all.
May Sign Clancy.
Besides a new mounder there is a
chance of having another new man
loided to the team Manager Dunn
announced that a young fellow by
the name of Clancy, who has been
atending St. Viator's college might
possibly be signed this year as tho
guardian of the initial sack. Of cours
this dope is a little premature, be
cause Dunn hasn't carried on any
communications with either McWhor
ter or Clancy since the time that the
1921 season dosed., but nevertheless
local officials are going to make
strong bids for those two men.
Clancy is the lad who played With
the Minonk nine last year. He is an
excellent infielder and a very clever
hitter, and should be he signed to
nlav with the Cubs the tam will lie
greatly strengthened.
Potts To Return.
It Is almost a sure thing that Potts
-who played third base for the Cubs
a short, time In 1920 will be back
with the dub again this season.
Potts was released after a game with
Aurora when the Cubs first organiz
ed. The team at that time bad an
off day. played a poor brand of ball
and allowed Aurora to swam) them,
At a meeting of the directors of the
association which was held following
the game it was decided to release
Potts, but against Manager Dunn's
wishes Dunn wanted to keep him
and predicted that the Kid was a
comer However, the others couldn't
