CUBS TRY FOR FIRST DIVISION
TO KEEP RECORD CLEAN
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Now we have the municipal pier,
where we Of the hoi poIoitereTs can
journey to cool our fevered brOws adj
jacent to the lake breezes.
That is, provided we can reach the
pier via the one measly car line ter
minating there. The traction barons
don't seem to care whether we can
get there or not Our pier is without
peer-if the pun gets Over-bUt it
is a darn hard place to reach.
But it isn't half so inaccessible as
is the 500 percentage mark to our
Cub ball team. Several times this
season Tinker's men have slipped
into the even-Steven notch, fingered
there for a day or two and have then
skidded backward to a point below
an even break.
When the North Siders returned
home from their last eastern trip
they had lost two more games than
they had copied for that much Of the
season. Their road work had been
excellent and there were hopes that
the midway notch would soon be
passed. Instead of this, the local
talent has gone farther down the
hill and the standing of the clubs
shows five more lost than won.
Various difficulties have gummed
up the proceedings, but with the adj
dition of Workman to the team Tink-
er believes he has an aggregation ca
pable of climbing a couple Of notches
before the flag end of the season.
Joe has a record of long standing to
shoot at and does not want to miss.
Since Frank Chance first headed
the club in 1905 it has never finished
in the second division. Fourth place
has been its portion at times, but
never a position IowIer than that.
Joe does not want to make a poorer
showing than his predecessors in the
managerial job.

The grind OF the wheels under the

official OF the court OF Grahoffen
sprang aboard the train. looking this
way and that expectantly, peering
through the windows and doors Of
coach after coach But he did not find
the man he sought Hurrying through
the last car OF the train, at last he
half.stumbled over the limp form OF
Bartel lying on the floor where Ro-
leau's arm had flung him, neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Here's
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them. mem"
But now some sort Of answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was point
ing beyond the train up the mountain.

After them, men! They must have

He looked this way and that, as the

eyes fell upon vast bowlder that lay
near by the edge of the ridge upon
which they stood. He cast a swift
glance below, lining up the course Of
the bowlder straight down to the

passed by the place OF concealment OF

Frederick supplemented the assault OF
his man, and between these two Bartel
was helpless. He felt a hand rifling
his pockets, but as for himself could
make no cutlery. Just as the train
slowed up at the, entrance into the
yards, they flung him to the floor,
where he lay limp.

and held up the Gretzhoffen half coin
before Kitty's eyes. He placed 1t then
in his own pocket.
