that is vastly more important
to them than were the three games
dropped in New York-although all
games are important to the Cubs now.
The Cubs play Friday and Saturday
at Cincinnati. On Sunday and Mon
day next they play st. Louis. If the
combination of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati
and st. Louis is able to eject the Cubs
from first place in the National
League race, it will take all the best
of the base ball strategy possessed by
Manager Joe Mccarthy to bring the
Cubs through to the pennant. They
have the best position of any club in
the league now, but they have work
cut out for them to retain their
advantage.
Chicago Jared badly in the East.
but it should be noted that as result
Of their Eastern trips, the Pittsburgh
and St. Louis teams go back to their
home lots about as they left them,
neither gaining nor losing enough to
amount to anything. In a close race
this is good work. A $3.50 break away
from home is not so bad for a team
that has q chance to win pennant.
Where Pittsburgh and st. Louis look
bad, as well as Chicago, is in the fact
that none of these teams shows much
profit for their work in the last fort
night, although playing the tail-end
side of the circuit. The Cubs show
loss.
Now, what about the Giants? The
Chicago team on it's Eastern trip lost
twice as many points in the percent
age standing as the Giants gained.
That is the relative value of winning

TIME ability to set ones self in
the proper mental attitude
when it is necessary to play
Il a wining hole or a winning
shot has as much, if not more,
to do with the result than the ability
to hit the ball correctly.
Thousands of golfers can hit the
ball with what approaches perfection,
but only few can control their strokes
under fire. These bring forth the
winners.
Tommy Armour, new American
open champion, gave me an enlight-
ening view of how he managed to
play the last few holes at Oakmont in
first place. His mental gyrations
were somewhat similar to some I
have gone through in competitive
golf. although Tommy was thinking
of shots in order to keep calm, where
as / have thought of other things.
For example. asked Tommy what
his thoughts were just before he played
his second to the eighteenth green,
when he needed to get an iron shot
of some 180 yards close enough to the
pin to give him a chance for birdie
3, which he needed to tie.
Knew He Could Make Stroke.
Elm the first place." said Tommy, "I
knew what sort of stroke was required
to bring about the desired results,
and 1 knew I could make the par
ticular stroke; that I had made ones
similar thousands of times before.
Il knew / had to bring the club
head back under control and in
certain groove and bring it back in
such way it would hit the ball firm
and go through straight at the hole.
knew this was not difficult, and that
all the outside agencies which might
be at work at that time, in the heat
of a finish for the open championship,
could have no effect whatever on the
mechanics of a simple stroke in golf.
with this thought in mind 1 was
able to consider nothing but swinging
the club as l wanted so / would hit
the shot l was thinking about. Hav-
ing convinced myself that all I was
called upon to do was hit an iron
shot, and not an especially difficult
one, / went at it with confidence. AS
soon as l struck the ball I looked at
the divot mark the club had taken,
and saw that the turf had been cut
at just the right angle toward the
hole. | knew the shot was on the
right line and was satisfied before it
came down that the ball was some
where near the hole.
when walked up to the green
the ball was about 12 feet short of the
hole and I saw Immediately that I
had straight uphill putt, of a dis
tance that could easily be holed. I
had holed many of the same distance
or longer, and again 1 devoted my
thoughts to the stroke necessary. I
knew that If the blade of the putter
was made to hit the ball firmly and to
go through perfectly straight toward
the hole, the ball would roll true over
such a fine putting surface, and drop.

CUBS FACING ACID TEST
DURING NEXT FIVE DAYS

toward the latter part of the season
in round figures are worth about three
points and games lost are equivalent
to drop of six points.
In actual loss the Cubs were 40
points worse off when they finished
in the East than they were when they
began their trip on August 16. The
Giants in that same period gained 16
points. The net gain of the Giants
was Sc points. owing to the drop of
the Cubs, and that is why some of
the clustering New York fans assert
that the Cubs have cracked and are
otherwise hors de combat.
The trouble with the New York
crowd is that it neglects to recall the
failure of its own team earlier in the
season. The Giants are going too fast
at this moment to be healthy for them.
If they can continue at such fast
pace they are a much better team
than any of their rivals, but it follows
then that their rivals will become by
comparison the poorest lot of cham.

needed a man of precisely the Bush
type to bring out the base ball they
are capable of playing. Had he been
able to keep his team together, l am
sure the Pirates would have COM
Portable lead in the National League
standing. Even with the constant
dropping out of regulars. Pittsburgh
continued either in first place or With
in touching distance of it, great
showing under the circumstances.
Bush, one of the games great short
fielders Is small but he has fine driv-
ing force. His is q magnetic person
ality, and he gets players who ordi-
narily would prefer to -ag along 60
ing at top speed.
Bush left Washington at the end of
the 1923 season, and many have asked
whether he would not have landed a
pennant for Washington in 1924. He
finished fourth in 1923 with a team
which at the seasons start stood little
chance of being better than seventh.
In that year, like this season, his line
up was constantly wrecked by illness
and injuries. He did not have his
full team strength on the field in more
than 25 games that year.
Pittsburgh has won a pennant with
nearly the same combination Bush is
managing THIS year. HlttSDufgn also
won a world championship. Because
of this, her players lack the high en-
thusiasm shown by the Chicago Cubs,
for instance. Teams that have never
been in the big money are always
more ambitious than those that have
had a taste of it.
A manager like Bush is required to
stir up enthusiasm. and if any man in
the world can bring the Pirates
through to pennant, Bush is the
man.
