These two games indicate what
the West Side team could do if every
cog in the machine was working in
conjunction.
Yesterday it was remarked here
abOuts that Mike Mitchell would be a
valuable man if allowed to play more
than a day or so each week. The
Once-in-a-while left f1elder's work
proved this yesterday. He had two
chances to throw men out at the
plate on singles and both heaVes were
very punk affairs. Now, If he was
played regularly, he'd have the range
and would make his shots accurate.
In the sixth and eighth innings, when
the Cubs scored, Mike kicked In two
singles that had an important bear
ing on the result. .-..-..->

in the eighth inning.
In Pheian the Cubs have one of the
best utility infeldeTs in the league.
The young man played short for the
first time this season yesterday, but
previously he had done considerable
work at second and third, pfnching
for Tim when the latter fractured his
ankle or some of the rules of the
league, and acting for EVers when a
left-hander faced the Cubs, or after
some oratorical oUtburst on the part
of the manager which was not well
received by the umpires.

up through these changes. His bat
, ting mark, .255 when the last aver
ages were published, is not startling,
but the promising feature is that
about So points of this figure were
added during the two weeks that Zim
was out of the game with his pune
tured tire. Phelan is young man
and has long baseball future before
him, barring accidents.
He batted for Bridwen yesterday
in the eighth with men on second
and first and stung a single to left
field that tied the score. The fans
remember only the plays of the day,
but Phelan has been coming through
all year, take it from the record book.
Somebody has been deceiving Art
FTOmme, who pitched for the Giants
after Rabe Marquard was chased in
the eighth inning. The former Red
finished the eighth without further
casualties, but he is looking for the
guy who steered him up against Vic
Safer in the ninth. In that frame
EVers doubled to right with one out
and Schultz flied to center without
advancing his boss. Heinie Tim, the
next batter, was pUrposely passed to
take a chance. on Safer. The grand
stand chortled at the "headwork" of
whoever was directing the Giant de-
Tense. On the Cub bench there was
much mirth. For this Safer boy is
the most dangerous hitter on the
team right now and is particularly
deadly when facing right-fn pitchers.
He took one of Mr.. Fromme's choice
shoots and drove it straight back at
the pitcher. The ball tore through
Fromme's glove and hurtled on to
center, Evers scoring the winning
run easily on the soak. Just to show
that right or left handlers were the
same to him, Vic earlier in the game
