T~-7O wonder the Chicago base
I'M bail fans are wild. A dram
- atist could not think of
any better situations than have
arisen at the Cub park lately. A
scenario writer would revel in the
dramatic possibilities of the almost
daily Incidents.
In the first place the Cubs were
picked absolutely last by almost
every baseball critic. The under
dog has risen up in wrath and is
swapping at the heels of another
team not given any consideration
by the xperts-Brooklyn. The
two of them are at each others
Threats today.
Jess Petty, the sensation of
the majors, was scheduled to
pitch for the Robins. If anyone
can beat him, the Cubs are like
~ to turn the trick. Manager
Mccarthy knows Jess pretty
well. He has seen him work
many contests in the Associa-
ton. And Joe is mighty smart.
But to set back where we start
ed from The Cubs have been fur
nishing one thrill after another.
They just defeated the New York
Giants three out Of four; $4,000
fans went wild Sunday as the
Bruins staged another one of their
famous ninth.1nning rallies for a
victory.
And just who started the fire
works? Hack Wilson, CASTOR
Giant, limped to the plate (he was
injured the day before), and
smashed a two-bagger down the
third base line. Just picture the
big kick in shat unprecedented
piece of dramatic art.
Joe Mccarthy, minor Lacquer,
in his first year as a big league
manager, has put his team into
the thick of the pennant fight.
The appeal to the fans of such
situation is tremendous. The
"busher' is showing up the "big
leaguers." 1t all reads like the
AIger books, the Rover Boys, or
Frank Merriwell. But the
strange part of it all is that it
is true.
No matter what happens later,
and there are many who do not
believe the Cubs can keep up the
pace, Joe Mccarthy and his aston
ishing Cubs have put plenty of
spice into the great American
sport this spring.
