- SEWr. dispatches from Chicago
MI say that neither the manage
EN ment Of the Chicago Cubs or
- u the fans of the Windy City
are regarding Johnny Killing
as a prodigal son. The fans are sore
because of the way King has treated
the Cubs and with Needham and Arch
er working in high-class style behind
Ihe bat they do not think King looks
as Indispensable as he did in the
olden times. Killing is back with the
Cubs because the National Commits
sion called" his blum and called II
coed and strong. The fans know that
II the National Commission had not
threatened TO suspend King for an
other year he would not now be with
the Chicago team and that knowledge
does not make the great catcher par
ticularly popular.
Although they have played less
than "A dozen games. the National

that the second division teams are

AT a very rapid pace-more rapid than
had been expected. OF course. their
true strength cannot yet be gagged for
they have yet to invade the West and
meet the Pirates and Cubs. However,
both teams are showing enough class

race promises to be even better thanl
last year with four teams very much
in the running.
Sixteen hits and one rum This
was the record ca set by the Boston
Speed Boys in a game against Wash

went twelve innings. but sixteen hits
in twelve innings ought to have been
