tween the Burritts and the Laurels
While the other will be a game be-
tween the American Legion and the

out their strongest lineups and n
real clash is anticipated. This game

The Laurels and the Burritts

Laurels haven't been going so
good but after a bad start the team
feels that 1t is ready to take its
rightful place in the winning COL
umn. Both games will start at 6

She was also the smuggling star of

Power house baseball is the way

Power house baseball is the way
| major league players now refer to
the style Of play so popular. 1t is
Just their way Of saying brute
strength dominates the game.
In the sensational rise of the Chi
cago Cubs to the top of the National
League standing, three castoffs have
supplied the power house methods
which. combined with air-tight
pitching. have made the Cubs a
strong contender from the start.
The Cubs. by the way, are most
unusual ball club. OF the four clubs
conceded to have chance in the
National league, it is the lightest
hitting aggregation.
Incidentally. the three players
who have furnished a goodly por-
ton of the offense, Outfielders Will
son, Webb and Stephenson. have
been turned adrift by other major
league clubs as lacking big league
class.
Just to give some idea of the rel
alive difference in batting between
Pittsburgh and Chicago, the two
teams fighting each other for the
lead. the last time 7 glanced at the
rates as a team were batting .322
while the mark of the Cubs was
81 points less. or .271.
Outflelders Wilson and Webb, who
were both turned down by no less
an authority than John McGraw
have contributed the home-run
punch that has put the Cubs over
in a number of close games. In the
first ~ games, Wilson hit Is hon.
ers to lead the league while Webb
made II in the same number of
games.
While Riggs Stephenson, who for
mmerly played with the Cleveland
Indians, has made only two home
runs, he excols at the bat for the
Cubs with mark of .33S, further
proof Of the fact that other things
aside from power-house baseball
have kept the Cubs in the running.
Any critic who insisted the Chi
cago Cubs form great ball club
would be tempting fate and court
ing plenty of criticism, yet it would
cause no great surprise in National
League quarters if it won the pen
nant in that organization
There arc no outstanding stars on
the club outside of Pitcher Charley
Root. The team is lust combina-
ton OF capable performers who are
giving their best efforts at all times.
A Chicago victory in the National
League would be extremely popular.
since II is nine years since the Cubs
won National League pennant.
Should the Yankees win in the
American and chlca % in the Ma
tional, it would provide a highly
colorful series between the two big
cities of the country and supply the
customary intersectional rivalry be-
tween the cast and west.

series was staged in 1917, when the
Giants represented the National and
