WHY CUBS DIDN'T WIN.
Murphy and Others Tell How Pitts

CHICAGO, September 2O.-"Injuries to
Manager Chance, with the late condition
Of our pitchers, put the Cubs in a rut
that endured long enough during the
spring to force the champions behind
Pittsburg,' said President Murphy The
Pirates seem to have the best chance o.
the pennant because they have played
sensational winning base ball and are en-
titled to the honors Chicago will strive
for the honor again next year with new
faces on the club.
Defeat after such a bitter race is a
hard blow to the Cub team" says Man
ager Chance. Il had hoped to set the
new record in base ball by winning four
remnants in the National League, but the
case now seems hopeless. Next to Chi
cago l believe Pittsburg has the strongest
club ever assembled in any league"
1T has been an off-y year for the Cubs.

Never dn the history Of base ball has

mean so much as that this afternoon
between the Athletics and Detroit If
the Mackmen win they will be put two
games behind the Tigers and will have
captured three out of the four played.
which will give them added stamina for
the games with the other western teams
which follow and which they must be
able to clean up to land the pennant
On the other hand, a victory for the
Tigers will give them an even break and
they will be confident of the flag, more
confident than they can be if they lose.
Eddie Plank. who pitched such a grand
game Thursday, the first contest of the
important series. will again face Jen-
nings' team this afternoon. The Detroit
manager has not fully decided which of
his twirlers will work, but will probably
choose between Summers, Mulln and
Willett. Willett is the most likely Sc
lection.
If the Athletics win today, they will
Ing tonight will be:

Should the Tigers win there would be
some gloom in Quakertown tonight. For
the Athletics would then be four games

Thursday morning. The standing would
then be:
Won. Lost. Pct.
Detroit ..................... 30 40 .647

Il feel confident we have just bit
better ball team than Detroit" said
Manager Mack last night. Il think our
loss Friday was due to Krause's wild
ness But you can't blame the boy very
much. It's enough to make a seasoned
veteran weaken to face the Tigers in
such an important game.
However, 1 feel certain that Plank
can win another game. To tell the truth,
felt from the first that we could be
satisfied If we won three from the
Tigers. For you know, if We stick strict
ly to business, the advantage of playing
at home. which will be ours, should
easily overcome the two-game lead which
they will have l cannot predict what
will be the outcome, but i feel mighty
good about our chances for the pennant."
When Connie Mack talks like that
he is not disheartened. OF course, he
can't foretell what his players will do
or won't do. But it is certain that ar
other big crowd will be on hand, and
1t is to be hoped that Plank will win and
the Athletics will have a better chance
to land the championship.
