CHICAGO, CHOCK FULL
OF VICTORY, HERE TO
MEET THE PHTLLES
Four Straight Victories
Over Worlds Champs
Have Set Cubs Into Ter
rifle Pace = Present Sc
ries Important.

With lead of full game on the
Phillies the Chicago Cubs open three
game series with Moran's bunch this
afternoon. After the present series. tho
whole aspect of the race may be changed ,
The Phillies might hand the Cubs three
successive defeats and put that team on
n losing streak while the conditions may
be reversed
Three defeats in a row for the Phiiiesr
would certainly be an awful blow to the
Pills chances for the pennant, but they
are not likely to have as bad an effect on
the local team as three losses would have
on the Cubs. Should the Phillies. be
beaten three times in row they would
attribute 1t to the crippled condition of
the team and their confidence would not
be so badly shaken, but If the Cubs lose
three at the hands OF a crippled club, any
number of things might happen. Three
defeats might start Helnie Zimmerman
on rampage or may cause Bresnahan
to lose his head or then again II may
completely ruin the teams confidence.
The race is a long one, but there are
times when a ball club loses sight of this
fact and go to pieces when one series
goes against II, as was the case with tho
Phillles in 1913. The team looked like
world beater until Brooklyn. hopeless
second division club, won four straight
games in this city. After that tho
Phillies blew up entirely and the Giants
followed with four victories and the
Pirates with two before Alexander put
n stop to the losing streak
The Cubs have Just beaten the worlds
champion Braves four straight games and
in each one Manager Stallings used his
regular twrlers. When a club beats
Rudolph. Tyler, Hughes and James in
order II is team to be feared. Whether
the Cubs will keep going at that clip long
is a matter of doubt as It is a team that
generally slows up quite bit in the sum-
mer.
The same thing has been true of tho
Philles in the past and yet the fans do
not expect history to repeat here, so
there is no reason why this should not
work both ways In order to start the
Cubs on their downward journey, Man
ager Moran has decided TO use Grover c.
Alexander this afternoon. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the Cubs have an excellent
chance of trimming the Nebraskan, as he
has not had ball in his hand for four
days, owing TO the bad weather.
On the other hand the Cubs have been
playing regularly and are in first-class
shape to face the best of pitching.
Manager Bresnahan said this morning
that all of his pitchers were working well
and he Ia undecided who he viii use 4
against the Phillies today. Bresnahan
also says that he win send left-handers
against the Phllies II they warm up well
enough. e

In the American League they are Bos-

ATHLETICS WILL TRY
FOR TWO STRAIGHT
Bush or Wyckoff to Pitch To-
day-Cleveland Club Still
Hunting a Manager.

CLEVELAND, May 25.-The Athletics
will try to break record of the trip by
winning two games in a row when they
meet the Indians again today. The Ath-
letics can get out Of last place by taking
four straight games and. while this seems
unlikely with the pitchers going so poorly,
Manager Mack said that 1t would not sur
prise him a great deal, as Cleveland is n
badly dlsorganzed team at present.
The pitching choice for the Athletics
lies between Joe Bush and Weldon
Wyckoff, while Cleveland win send
Coumbe or Steen in to face the cham
pions. Acting Manager Lee Foehl Is
strong for several of the Indians young
pitchers, and intends to work Jones and
Walker regularly in the future. In tho
seven innings he worked against the Ath-
letics yesterday. Jones pitched great ball.
Shawkey's victory was not entirely un-
expected, as Bob has pitched fine ball on
the trip. He has won three games and
pitched part of the other that was won
by the Mackmen. If the other pitchers
could get the ball over the plate as well
as Bob, the Athletics would start climb
ing soon.
The refusal of Walter McCredie, of
Portland, to accept the position as man
ager of the Indians was received with
great disappointment here. as the Pacific
Coast Lacquer is looked upon favorably,
due to the fact that he has sent so many
good men to Cleveland In recent years.
II Is Tumored that Frank Isbell. eX-
first baseman of the White SoX when they
won the worlds championship in 1905.
will be offered the position. lsbell is in
very much the same position as McCredie,
as he is half owner of the Des Molnes
Club. He has not as good a paying club
or as much money involved as McCredie
and may be able to accept.
At Des Moines Isbell has not proved
such a great success as a manager, but
may surprise the wise ones in case he
accepts.

scarcely laid a glove on his opponent. Re

A stin left TO the face, followed with
straight right cross, started blood flowing
from Hollis nose In the third round. and
he continued 70 bleed until the anal gong
sounded.
