was played while the assemblage

The game figured to he we'll worth

the Cubs figured Patrick for A
winner just the same and mA,le
their bets accordingly. They had
little choice at that. Guy Bush, The
lone Cub winner of the series, be-
ing the only alternative.
Malone Seems Fated
Malone was one of those involved
in that 1O-run business on SATURDAY,
hitting one man and being knocked
off for the winning runs by Dykes
on a double. This hit. however.
was of dubois lineage and. whom
Malone warmed UP to his work. he
famed Boley and Burns for the
final out of the inning. 1t was on
this performance, rather tha on
what had preceded it. that he was
rated into the pitching nomination
today by Mccarthy.
Connie Mack's plans. as usual,
were as clear as stained glass
window. He could pitch Howard
Ehmke. the first game winner: he
could reply with George Earnshaw,
who won the second game in col
laboration with Lefty Groves, and
lost the third. strictly on his own,
and Mac could pitch Grove himself.
Grove for Rescue Role
The latter had famed ten Cubs
in 1-3 ScOreleSs innings to date,
| yet his selection for todays game
was deemed to be unlikely. The
answer that Grove cannot pitch
more than five innings without
| leaving hte first two fingers Of his
| pitching hand. raw and bleeding
| from contact with the ball. Grove,
! it seems, is one of those sensitive
! boys who bruiSe so easily.
| ANY how. he appears to be cast
| in the role of Nigilant rescuer for
| this series. Earnshaw. Therefore,
was the natural choice for the
game Being that it is better to
| have pitched and lost than never
| to have pitched at all Fridays de-
| feat can we'll he forgotten partiru-
larly since Earnshaw would have
won that game almost seven days
! in every week
