LOS ANGELES, March 29 (AP Chicago's chances of re taining the National league pen nant received a severe blow today when Hazen "Klkl" Cuyler, one of the finest outfielders In the senior circuit, suffered a fracture of his right leg la attempting to steal; second base in an exhibition games with Hollywood. The accident happened in the fourth inning of the contest which the cubs won 10 to 8. Klkl hesitated a moment as he ap proached the bag, and then de cided to hit the dirt. He was halt a step too late in his decision, and his foot caught in the bag, giving his leg a sharp twist. He was carried from the field. Examination at the Cedars of Lebanon hospital showed what doctors termed a "continued fracture of the lower end of the fibula," the smaller bone of the leg. They said a section of the bone three inches In length had been severed from the main bone. Charles Grimm, manager of the Cubs, said Cuyler would be out at least eight or 10 week, de pending on how the bone knits together again. It was considered probable, however, that the In jury would, handicap Kiki in his fielding and . base running per haps through the entire season, once he gets back Into the line up The Chicago manager was not prepared to say Just who would take over the center field post. but Frank Demaree, obtained from Sacramento of the Pacific Coast league was considered the logical choice. There also was the possibility that Chicago might call in George "Tuck" Stainback, young Los Angeles outfielder. who was purchased several months ago at a price variously quoted at from $S0,000 to $71,' 000 for 1934 delivery. Cuyler went to the Cuba from Pittsburgh, where differences with Donle Bush, at that time manager of the Pirates, led to his being kept on the bench most of one season. He became a rex gular with the Cubs, and hit .291 last season and fielded .968 al though a broken bone In his right foot kept him out of the lineup until July. n SCHEDULE in HEED Ml OVER K GORMAN PORTLAND, Ore., March 29 Robin Reed of Reedsport, Ore., defeated Jack Gorman of Dallas, Texas, two falls out of three Jn the main event of tonight's wrest ling matches here.

It was decided Wednesday. Although a number of ardent gridmen want ed to turn out, a survey disclosed that too many of next year's can didates are working, studying ex tensively, or planning to concen trate on baseball or track. Some of the boys will kick and pass a football around, but there will be no organised practice. The baseball season opens in less than two weeks, with a game at Monmouth against Oregon Nor mal April 11; and so far the Bear cat squad has not been able to do any work outdoors. However, Coach "Spec" Keene plans to seize every opportunity, and meanwhile he Is working with an extensive but inexperienced pitching staff la the gymnasium. Departure of Andy Peterson left a big gap to fill, and no other twirlers from last year's team will be available unless Fred Paul finds time to turn out. Candidates now working out are Rex Pemberton from Dallas, Don Burch from Silverton, Bill Moy from Tangent who is also a catcher; Ed Tweed who did a lit tle pitching two years ago, Gor don Williams and Francis Ely. veterans from the 1932 team which defeated Oregon State, among other accomplishments, in clude Emmett McCann and Bob Houck, catchers; Lowell Gribble, third baseman; Clay Eggleston, first sacker who may don the mask this year; Walt Erickson, Gus Moore and Walt Commons, outfielders. Jobs on both sides of second base are among those prominently vacant, to add to the uncertainty growing out of the absence of any tried and tested hurlers. One or two games with the pen itentiary team may be played be fore April 11, if weather permits, Coach Keene stated Wednesday.

And so H r1at,a.m Gsess all onr theories about what wreaitling fans ought to demand and patronize will have to take a back seat: we know now for sure what they do de mand and plank down the cash to see. Of coarse there was some wreatling at the armory Tues day night, bat you can,t tell me that was what drew the mob; they went there hoping to see Bulldog Jackson do something wilder than ho had done the week before. The Bulldog didn't, because Robin Reed kept him too busy; but with Reed's able assistance, tho crowd was kept in feverish condition quite satisfactorily, and then there was, of course, that great climax about which the fans are still debating. Did Reed, or did he not, smack the Bulldog with a chair? Personally we like our drama in the theatre excuse it please, if we have said that before. In addition to the other woes of the sport writer we mentioned recently, and which drew ap preciative response from the two examples we mentioned, there is the difficulty of writing a column year in and yeavr out, and trying to avoid repetition. Even a minister has to talk only two or three times a week, and they move to a new flock occa sionally. Getting hack to drama In sports of course that is what the fans always hope to see; they wouldn't, whether they realize is or not, at tend baseball, basketball, football or any other type ot contest un less they expected something dra matic. Home runs, long shots that win in the closing seconds, long runs and passes for touchdown! you can't get a crowd unless there's a promise of some of those thrills. But we won't have to enlarge on that remark about drama in the theatre. You get the idea. ' Bat we will no longer try to tell anybody what he ought to like In the way of sport. Once upon a time we were called as a Juror in a suit involving the merits of a Chautauqua pro gram. Under searching inquiry, we qualified with flying colors. finally the attorney for the Chautauqua people staked If we know of any reason why we would mot be a fair Juror. There upon we broke down and con fessed we had seem the shows In question. Excused for came. Granting at the outset that we know nothing about financing a school district, and the difficulties thereof when taxpayers fall to fay taxes, we must maintain, without any intention to become argumen tative, that it is a unique situa tion when an athletic coach is sug gested for removal, within little more than a week after he has won a championship; especially a championship nobody thought he could win with the Inexperienced material at hand.

The Giants are new they are different this year, as our adver tising cousin might say. They even hare new uniforms -dark blue sweatshirt and a color schema of gold, if yon care to know. Terry determined early that none but players who would stand four square behind him would be in the lineup. Hence, criticism to the con trary notwithstanding, he disposed of men like Walker, Mooney, Lind- strom and Hoean. What the Giants will need this year more than anything else is first class pitching. Terry intends, he says, to piece us oruns ox ui mound work on Parmelee and Schu macher. Much faith is placed in Starr, whom Terry got from the Cardinals, and he also has Shores, who did nice work in the Coast League, and Spencer, whom Terry eonaiders a better Ditcher than his work with the Pirates showed. Then there are Herman Bell and Luque, for relief, and the old standbys, Hubbell and Fitxaimmons. Among the new members of the team are James and PeeL both heavr kitten from the Texas League; George Davies, former Philliea player, who averaged more than .500 with the stkk, and Ryan, a snortstop woo turned in some sen sational work for the Buffalo Inter nationals last year.
