Humphries is carefully nursing a

series which starts next Wednesday
with st. Louis on the West Side.
Both of these athletes are valuable
cogs in the Cub pennant machine at
the present time. Zimmerman is
playing great game at the keystone
and HUMPHREYS is as reliable as any
pitcher on the club. When rightly
used he is practically unbeatable.
The game tomorrow with Brooklyn
closes the first invasion of the Cub
lot by the eastern teams. During this
period the Bresnahans have made no
record, but they have man
aged to regain the top Of the ladder
