CUBS AND GIANTS GREAT ROAD
CLUBS-LOSE AT HOME
BY Mark Shields


Allow the Cubs and Giants to play
all their games in foreign parts,
without once visiting their own lot,
and the pennant campaign in the
National league would settle down
to bitter fight between these ira
ditiOnal rivals.
That both clubs are still figured in
the flag hunt can be attributed to the
fact that they were not confined to
their home lot all season. In their
own yards their winning percentages
resemble the living skeleton of a tent
show. This goes with particular
force for the Giants. Their record
winning streak of II games in the
west put them up among the leaders,
but as soon as the club returned
home it began to volplane and is
now in fifth place. The Giants start
another western swing today, but
there is no hope for duplication of
their last jaunt.
Tinker's people have just finished
a trip to Pittsburgh and st. Louis,
during which nine games were play
ed. Six of them were victories and
enabled the team to scramble into
the first division, one full game ahead.
of the Giants. The eastern swing of
the Cubs was also something to en-
thuse over, six games out of ten
being won from clubs that were, at
that time, hitting on all cylinders.
Remember the results of those two
trips and then glance at the standing
of the clubs. The locals are half a
game below a 800 percentage, =
which is proof enough that they are
better on the road than at home.
Many and varied have been the ex-
plantations of these peculiar circum-
stances, but the one the Cub players
themselves use as an "out" is the
stiff and chilling breeze from the
lake during the earlier days of the
season. Veterans Of the West Side

The oath was administered by Chief
Justice Frank A. Monroe, in the pres
ence Of more than 5000 people. AT

his inaugural address.
Equalization of assessments and
taxation without change Of system,
elimination OF useless Offices, abOii-
ton or the Tee system and the en-
couragement Of immigration and
manufacturing enterprises were chief
points in the address. The new
governor refrained from discussing
legislation except in the matter OF
assessments and did not intimate
what his legislative program would
be.
The message made no reference ta
liquor legislation. In this connec-
ton it is to be noted that Represen

State House. where Governor Hall,
Chief Justice Monroe and Lieutenant
Governor Mouton took seats. Col.
Jones was the other occupant. This
car led the inaugural parade which
preceded the induction into Office.
Hundreds Of Orleans friends and
country supporters who made the
trip by way of the city were on the
special train with the official party.
