Carolina Island Is Tossed Aside for Cubs' Training Los Angeles, Jan. 21 U. Catalina island, for years the spring training base of the Chicago Cubs, was told today to depend on its bird farm to attract tourists. The Cubs will stay on the mainland this year. The National league club said they would remain at Wrigley field because only five days' practice could be held at Catalina before their first exhibition game March 6. Commissioner A. B. Chandler has banned spring training before March 1. Chilly breezes and inclement weather on the island last spring added to the risk of sore arms and legs. Chuckin' Charlie Is a Two Sport Tossin' Artist Memphis, Tenn. Charles Conerly, the man from Mississ ippi who made football passing history this season, intends to cling to his nickname of "Chuckin' Charlie either on the gridiron, the baseball dia mond, or both. Conerly was not mentioned in the draft sessions of the pro football leagues because two pro clubs already have priority on his services as a money perform er. The Washington Redskins of the national loop recogniz ed his talent as far back as 1945 but Charlie went into the army that year. In 1946 the Brooklyn Dodgers of the All-America Conference nam ed Chunker in Its draft. But before he makes any de cisions about his football future, Conerly is considering a base ball career. He says the Detroit Cubs have contacted him about a contract. He also wants to wait until he's graduated from Ole Miss this spring "to keep my amateur status and pitch for the school team." Sports writers who've seen Conerly in both roles say It's ob vious that he'll do much better in shoulder pads than spiked cleats. They point to the fact that the national collegiate ath letic bureau picked him and his receiver, end Barney Poole, as "the best passing battery in mo dern times." For the dog-eared record again: Conerly completed 133 out of 233 heaves, made 18 touchdown tosses and led Mis sissippi to its first Southeast ern Conference crown. The same experts call Charlie "a mediocre pitcher,, and not a had outfielder." Anyway, the "Roach" anoth er name lie earned by his zig zag running style thinks he'd like the double sports life for a profession. He's been pitching pigskins and baseballs "for free" quite a while now.
