PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 81 R)-The
tail-end Phillies proved as pesky as
ever for the Chicago Cubs this after
noon by forcing the league leaders
to divide double header. The Phil
lies won the first game behind Ul-
rich's fine pitching by a score of
2 to l and lost the second after ten
innings 10 to 6.
Percy Jones, who went to Bushs
rescue with the bases filled in the
eighth inning of the first game, issued
a pass that forced the winning run
over the plate. Charley Root acted
in the rescue role in both games and
by pitching the last four innings of
the second contest hung up his oath
victory Of the season.
The Phillie tied the score in this
game by scoring three runs in the
seventh inning that drove Brillheart
to cover and in the following round
tied the score on Root.

EVANS ENAAA

There is no doubt about Manager Joe
Mccarthy of the Chicago Cubs know
ing his stuff.
In discussing the National league
race recently he spoke thusly: ''The
second division clubs in the National
league are in a sense the fellows that
make the National league race a close
one and prevent any club from run
ming away with the race. Any of them
are liable to Use up and smite you not
once but twice in the same place,
mean the neck, on the same day.
Mccarthy made such a speech be-
fore his club invaded Boston a few
days back and all the Braves did was
take a double header from the Cubs,
winning each game by a one run mar
gin.

SLAMS From Weak Ones

The month of September, by the way,
promises to be a strenuous one for the
Cubs. It will test the courage and
ability of the team to the limit. It's
tougher on the nerves to be out in
front and trying to stay there, than
to be trailing, always within striking
distance.
Recently the Cubs suffered several
setbacks that viii tend to show just
how good the club really is. The fact
that it is, on the whole, made up OF
young players, makes the test all the
harder to survive.
When a club that is leading the
league goes into the eighth inning OF
a game winning 81 and loses 6-5, be-
cause a sixth place clup, Brooklyn, is
able to put over two tallies in the
eighth and three in the ninth, it's
bitter pill to swallow.
AS if this wasn't enough, a few days
later, Chicago, with the ace of its
pitching staff, Charley Root, working,
goes into the ninth inning of a game
leading the seventh place Braves, So,
only to have Boston knock Root off the
mound and score four runs to win,
6-5. Defeat in the second game OF
the double header followed, FL.

Cubs Good At Home J
The Cubs so far this year have been
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-08-28

a much better team at home than on
the road. In this respect the National
league schedule for 1927 is distinct
advantage to Mccarthy proteges.
After the club finishes it's present
road trip, most of the last 80 games
of the long grind of 154 battles are to
be played in Chicago.
If the Cubs come home with a lead
of five games, they can almost be
counted as in, but if the margin is
three games or less, it is certain to be
battle to the final week of the sea-
son.
In figuring the chances of the Cubs,
it must be remembered that Pitts
burgh, several years back, enjoyed a
seven-game lead in early September,
only to fritter it away by the time
October rolled around.
A victory for the Cubs would be
popular. FandOm is always with
the underdog. Those who were
pulling for the st. Louis Cardinals
at this time last year are now
shouting lOudest for Chicago.

IL Canton conquers Shanghai the
world may be required to recognize
Canton Shanghai near holshevik gov
eminent as well as a Mukden-Peking
government But who ia confident
that Canton will subdue Picking and
Mukden or permanently control Shan
ghai? The reported massing OF
Chang Tsolin troops to cooperate
with WI Pei-fu's reorganized army
in an attack upon Hankow suggests
that the solution of our problem of
wise treaty making may suffer addi-
tional delay to await the result OF
great battle between south and
north China, at or near Hankow.
There is apparent unity of demand
by Canton and Shanghai and Peking
for revision OF the unequal treaties in
their competitive rivalry in hostility
to the foreigner But when put to
the test even this apparent unity dis
appears. When Chang Tso-lin con-
trolled from Mukden to Shanghai Can
ton and Shanghai were opposed to the
Picking tariff revision conference of ma
lions on the ground that immediate
increase of tariff taxes on imports
would not benefit China, but would
enrich the war-chest and strengthen
the military power OF Chang Tso-lin,
whom they hated and wished to de-
stroy. And on the same line of
thought it may be noted that just the
other day, when Great Britain sug-
gested that the contemplated taritf
increases be put into effect immedi-
ately, Canton protested vigorously be-
cause Shanghai was not yet in its
possession, and the additional revenue
from the increased tariff on imports
would not be enjoyed by it, but would
Increase the military strength of the
enemies OF Canton.
