Pittsburgh for today's fight with the
Pirates.
Of the eleven games played by the
Cubs this season Cheney has taken
part in eight, acting as rescuer in all
four of the tits in Cincinnati. This
overwork is beginning to tell on the
star of the staff, as his performance
in the last game in Redland indicated.
Larry was hit hard in the two innings
he pitched and Tinker's men were
able to tie. the score. Evers realizes
Cheney must be saved in order to be
useful later in the season, and if the
other pitchers can hold out Larry
will be given rest until Sunday,
when the. Cubs open on the West
Side, returning Pittsburgh's hospi-
tally.
In the next four games, two in
Pittsburgh and two here, battle
royal for second place WILDE staged.
The Cubs and Pirates are tied, with
seven games won and three lost, New
York having won the same number
and lost one less. If Evers can take
three games he will have a great
chance of leading his team east in
second place. So far the locals have
won two out of three from Pitts
burgh. ..-... ..'. .
Fred Clarke is bossing a crippled
team, Wagner has lame knee, but
the injury is not as serious as at

should be back in the game within
two weeks. Catcher Gibson is due
for a months rest as a result of his
collision with the grandstand in ST.

get a chance in two of the games

The Giants hit Earl Moore safely
