CUBS Get REST
IN CINCY TOWN
MitcheI1s and Reds to Clash Today
and Tomorrow in Two
Double Headers.

Cincinnati. Ohio, June 24.-For a
hot and dry town, Cincinnati gave
the Cubs an Unexpectedly cool
and wet reception yesterday.
Shortly after their arrival an all
day rain set in which prevented
the double header which the Reds
had scheduled to work off a May
postponement.
So eager were the Red folks to
get at the Mitchells in their
crippled condition that they would
have staged the two games if pos
sible without anybody to see them.
The officials would not call off the
first game until time to start it at
2 o'clock and delayed postponing
the second one until nearly 3
o'clock. 1t still raineth at the hour
of wiring.
To make up for their disappoint-
ment the Reds have booked the
Cubs to play two games today and
two on Wednesday, hoping to be
able to gain on the Giants at Chi
CA5O CAPOAOCs OuL 9Ou KNOW
what often happens to the best
laid plans Of mice and men.
President Mitchell will be
eligible to manage the team again
today and expects Lee Magee, who
accompanied the Cubs here, to
strengthen the weak spot at short
enough TO make big difference IN
the defense.
Hollocher also came on the trip
in the hope of being able to play
here, but his broken thumb still is
tender and a bump on it right now
might invaiidate him for the rest
OF the year. Kiliefer was left at
home as HIS slashed leg is too stiff
to permit him to catch.
This will be a congeSted week
for the MiteheiIs. On top of four
games in two days here, they have
a double header with st. Louis
booked for Cub park on Thursday,
making six eombats in ~ hours,
weather permitting.

Until that eighth round attack
Eddie had been the master OF the
visitors, holding them to one
scratch hit. That was delivered by
Speaker in the first round, follow

cago rallied and got one in the
ninth, but 1t wasn't enough.
Jim Bagby, steady and true, was
on the rubber for the enemy, and
was hit hard in comparison. The
south siders connected for only
eight blows, but in that lot we're
doubles by Schalk and Liebold and
triples by FeIsch and Weaver. Two
Sox runners were nailed at the
home plate during the melee, and
it always seemed that when IN
trouble Bagby got the breaks that
pulled him out of the hole.
However, he must be given credit
for splendid pitching. and sternng
support was given him on one or
two occasions when he was in dan
ger. He simply toiled along in his
steady and careful manner, and.
though often in danger, he abso-
lutely refused to become fused

soon to lose one of its best known
characters. Cornelius McGillicud-
dy, otherwise Connie Mack famed
leader of the Philadelphia Athletics,
is reported as being ready to de-
sert from the active pursuits of the
diamond and confne himself to the
less strenuous business end of the
pastime.: Baseball and Connie
Mack have been synonymous for so
many years that it will leave a
gap hard to overcome.
