And there has been a pleasing bit of
fighting spirit directed against the
opposition. The local fellows refused
to curl up Saturday when they we're
apparently licked, and amassed a
comfortable lead yesterday before
they thought of resting.
The next two days offer excellent
opportunities for the locals to gain
on one Of the bracketed leaders. To-
day the Cubs are four games back of
Braves and Giants. The latter teams
are engaged in a death grapple in
Boston. O'Day will be pitting his men
against Cincinnati.
Herzog should not be able to win
a game from the Cubs if the work of
the past two days is sustained. In the
meantime Braves and Giants will be
slashing each other, and the Cubs
should draw up on the losers.
In the eastern meeting the result
will probably be two out of three
for either Braves or Giants. We are
not predicting which crew will take
the odd game. But whichever team
takes two, the Cubs can gain on both
by winning three from Cincinnati.
Such a result would make them
three games behind the leading team
and two games back of the squad in
second place.
If it were not for the past actions
Of the Cubs on the road they would
be figured as almost even bets with
the leaders. For there is better me-
chanicaI strength here. A little awak-
ening when the Cubs leave the West
Side and another major upset is pos
sible.
Sweeney has come back to second
base and is playing a fair game of
ball. Bill is not batting nearly so well
as Bresnahan, but he knows more
