National League Opposition
FaItering as Chicago
Plays Steady Ball.
ARE 8 TO 5 FAvoRITES
Mccarthy, Root, Carlson
Receive Much Credit.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-Ranking
next to that No. ! question-"Was
it fair or foul?" Comes No. q
What happened to those Chicago
Cubs?"
1t was a great surprise to some
fans when the Cubs started to play
winning ball. when they squirmed
past the favorites into first place in
the National League and when they
persisted in remaining there.
Just as it was predicted of the New
York Yankees, that a slump was
bound to come and cut down their
American League lead 1t was said of
the Cubs-"They don't belong up
there. Wait till the halfway mark
and watch them fade"
But here it is, past the middle of
August. The Cubs still are leading
the field turning into the stretch and
their chances are rated so good that
Wall st. is betting eight to five they
win the pennant and Wall st.
doesn't lay roll on long guess.
Why are the Cubs on top?
A good guess is several guesses
and they are Joe Mccarthy, Charlie
Root, Hal Carlson. Also Mr.. Will
son and Mr. Webb.
The Cubs were not considered a
bum baseball club when the experts
we're making their preseason selec-
tions. In fact, several expressed the
opinion that if there was to be a
dark horse that dark horse would
be the Cubs because of faith in the
ability of Joe Mccarthy to handle
men and get them to play for him.
Developed Sensation
Although Mccarthy said before
the season opened that Charlie Root
would be the answer to the Cubs
prayer. very few dreamed he would
be the sensation he has turned out
to be and that Carlson would depart
from the Phillies and would pitch
the kind of ball he has pitched for
the Cubs.
The wall raised in Pittsburgh, St.
Louis and Cincinnati and the pres
sure of protest that resulted in an
appeal to Commissioner Lands to
cancel the Carlson deal seems fully
justified if you don't happen to be
an admirer of the Cubs.
Pittsburgh and st. Louis writer's,
indignant at the Philadelphia
owners, said the transfer of Carl
son was an act that tossed the pen
nant to Chicago. And so it seems.
Granting the wisdom of. the
theory anything can happen in base
ball it appears very likely the
worlds series will be played in Chi
cago and the likelihood is so strong
bets at short odds are heard that
the Yankees beat the Cubs.

when they dropped the second game
to Brooklyn, 6 to /, after winning
the first, s to 0. Sheriff Blake made
the victory possible when he al

Practically all of the large field OF

So far, however, most OF the golf
crs have not extended themselves

ton this afternoon, which was

Jones, who is minus a United

tunity to grab title this year. Odds
are three to one against him. Gull

GLORY FOR MANAGERS

r THE Cubs go over, it will be
more or less of a personal
f. triumph for Manager Joe
Mccarthy.
AS I often have said, manager
cannot get anywhere unless he has
worthwhile material. He cannot
hold the bats Of the opposition in
check or make base hits for his
team.
However, if the material is there,
st is surprising how much more
work certain managers can get out
of players than others. That is
where the handling of men asserts
itself.
A gictory for the Chicago Cubs
would be genuine surprise, but
without a doubt great stimulant
for the game. Regardless of whether
the Cubs win the pennant or not, I
do-not believe it is the best club in
the league.
AS a matter of fact, it is my opin-
ion that pitching excepted. the
three teams now trailing Chicago
are stronger combinations. Tho
superior hurting If the Cub staff
has been hard to offset.
In the spring it was my belief
the National League race would
be between Pittsburgh and New
York with Chicago simply as
dark horse. 1t has proved a very
fleet as well as courageous one.
