CUBS AFTER EXTRA CASH

These pennant races make for many
a case of nerves." since the world
series stakes have reached mighty fat
figures.
am told that Owner Wrigley of
the Chicago Cubs, who would prefer
pennant to the amount the club
Golfers would be enriched by the world
series gate, has offered the clubs end
of the receipts to the players, in case
the Cubs get into the series.
Last year the winning players re-
ceived each close to $4,000. Each clubs
share was around 100000, which, di-
vided among say 81 ball players, would
make about $4,000 more for each man.
Thus, for the Chicago Cubs to win
the pennant and world series this
year, would mean that each player
would profit to the extent of about
$1,000.
Rulmor has it that Mr. Wrigley, in
conference with the team, made the
offer just before the club left on the
last eastern trip. The Cubs then pro-
ceeded to let their fairly comfortable
lead slip away
No doubt. to many of the Chicago
athletes the baseball is covered with
dollar marks as it comes his way,
whether from the pitcher to batter or
in the field The dollar mark some
times proves to be quite elusive.
##
If Mr.. Wrigley did make the
proposition, it may not turn out
as he hoped it would, since it may

the Cubs batted Benton hard in two
innings for a to l victory. The de-
feat pulled New York back to one and
one-half games from the league lead

The McGrawmen made their run in
the first inning on Lindstrom's double
and Roush'S single. Thereafter they
collected only four scattered hits and
never threatened.
Chicago pecked away at Benton's Of

score on Grin1m's single and a two

giles by English, Heathcote and Steph-
enson in the fifth when two were out

U. S. POLO TEAM BEATS BRITISH
CHALLENCERS BY SCORE l3-3

The United States polo team, un-
covering a brand of co-ordinatec
play which surprised even it's friend;
and shocked the challenging Brit
ish team, rode away to a IS to
victory today in the first game oi
the International challenge cup SER
les.
Tommy Hitchcock, leading the
terrific drive of the winners show
ed the way by scoring six goals
Until late in the game, when he
seemed to think that he could
leave well enough alone and rest
on his laurels, he was everywhere
driving the amazingly long shots
which have made him famius, many
their flight at or near the goal.
The sensational Hitchcock has
been sick of late and his indispo-
sition had kept him out Of much
of the play preliminary to the IN
ternational matches which caused
spectators to suggest that if he
is sick his opponents would do well
to hope that he would not play on
one of his we'll days.
Two of Eitchcocks drives for dis
tant goals brought the crowd stand
ing. He scored one goal from the
neighborhood of $50 yards away.
Close behind Hitchcock was Dew
ereaux Milburn, veteran captain of
the Americans, whose hard riding
and clever work, both on defense
and offense caused Lord Cowdray

mark; Its the Milburn of Is years

Malcolmn Stevenson and j. Watson
Webb could not keep up with their
fast moving colleagues. Possibly no
two polo players could have kept the
pace, but they played great polo
nevertheless. Stevenson, started with
a rush while Webb, under way a
trifle slower, was in his full stride
at the close.
With two goals in the first chukker
and two more in the third to one
for the British, the second period
seemed fairly stunned as the Amer

and rode away for the half inter-
mission leading seven to one.
The British total stood at one
through the fifth and sixth chuk-
kers while the United States was
adding four more, but in the last
two periods the play was even, each
team scoring one each in the seventh
and eighth.
Major Eric G. Atkinson, captain
and back of the MBritish bore the
brunt of the burden for his team
in the early stages of the game.
Captain Roark, sensational Irish
player could not keep up with Tom
my Hitchcock until near the end
of the game when he got the range
and was showing how he can play
when the final bell ended hostili-
ties.
Captain Claude E. Pert found

Kremer, backed by sensational field

day and Pittsburgh held to it's slim
lead in the national league pennant
fight.
Kremer kept the eight Phil hits scat
tered. The work of Grantham, Tray

every threat the Quakers made. Waner
snagged Thompson's bid for a home
run in the ninth inning with bril-
liant one-hand catch.
The Pirates scored in the second in

HoRNsBY WAS RIGHT

Don't count those Giants out in the
hectic struggle now being waged for
the National league pennant. Nc
GraW's club has come with a rush
that is going to be hard to deny.
II managed pennant winner and
world champions in the St. Louis
Cardinals last year, but 1 think New
York is better ball club and feel we
should win," was the way Rogers
HornSby expressed himself to me at
Sarasota, Fla, training camp of the
, Giants, last spring.
1--WE have mighty good team. Give
us pretty good pitching and we will
be tough to beat. And please don't
forget, we have John McGraw as our
manager"
For a couple of months it seemed
as if Rogers Hornsby had been en-
tirely too optimistic in his dope on the
Giants, even though I realized New
York was one of the clubs that had
to be beaten in the pennant chase.
Injuries and pitching that was a
trifle erratic caused New York to be
slow in getting full speed ahead.
A month ago the Giants were
about 10 games out of first place
and even the most ardent fan held
but little hope for his favOrites.
However, the club never once quit
kept plugging away.

Rosenberg Is Away

One of the daughters, Ruth, is by
