Under such circumstances, too.

Stage Perfectly Set
For Steal of Plate
BY the Associated Press.

~ WIG nooONlabGo ELCSos
THICAGO, August 25.-The fan
~ who likes his base ball close
and INSIDE" had his inning
yesterday. 1t was the ninth inning
in the final game of the Cubs Giant
crucial series.
With the score tied, two out and
the bases full, Danny Taylor started
with Joe Heving's pitch and slid
under Bob O'Farrell with the Cubs
winning run. There were two
strikes on Guy Bush and the pitch
was wide. but had 1t been over Bush
would have struck out and Manager
Joe McCarthy's strategy would have
failed. 1t didn't, however, and the
oldtimer who tires of home runs and
big scores had his moment.
1T was q natural" Manager Nc

hit. 1t was a 100-to-1 shot that he
wouldn't get the ball out of the in
field Heving goes through a long
delivery. Unless he shortened II In
the emergency he never could get
Taylor at the plate once Dan had
good start on him.
"Heving, out of the corner Of his
eye, seeing Taylor fash away from
third, probably thought 1t was the
usual bluff in an attempt to worry
the pitcher. Too late he realized
that Taylor wasn't fooling. And he
apparently didn't have presence of
mind in that moment to shorten his
wind-llp and pitch wide of the
plate"

800 POLICE HARD PUT
TO HANDLE CUB CROWD
By the Associated Press.

ny tne ASSOCIATED PfeSS.
CHICAGO. August 25.-The Cubs to-
day had o day of rest on which to con-
template their thrilling S-to-2 victory
over the Giants yesterday, but they
didn't need 1t any more than 800 DO
licemen who bsttled to handle the
crowd at Wrigley Field.
Inside the park $1,000 persons sat,
stood and leaned-outside nearly that
many milled and stormed in their at
temps to get in to watch the series
final between the National League lead
ers and the runners-up. The coppevs
not only had to regulate the flow Of hui
mainly, but were forced to combat all
sorts Of strategy employed by eager
fans.
The mobs started to gather at 7:30
yesterday morning with a line Of 500
prospective customers. At 1:15 pm.
President William l.. Veeck ordered the
gates closed. for not another inch of
space remained. The regular police
detail was swamped by the ever-growing
crowd, and 100 emergency policemen
were sent out to help, while ticket
statesmen deserted their booths and
they announced that no more room
was available in the park.
Telegram Ruse Nailed.
Ten mounted policemen attempted to
clear the sidewalks about the park. but
gave up when the mob good-naturedly
refused to dispense, and there was dan
ger of injury from their horses hoofs.
The prize trick of the day worked
several times. An enterprising seeker
of entrance obtained telegraph mes
senger boys cap and a suitable en-
velcpe and made his way by a gate
keeper with his important message"
It worked again and again, until an
elderly man wearing cap meant for
a smaller head was nailed and the ruse
ruined.
Another borrowed q ladder from a
nearby back yard and placed it against
a wall, but it was smashed to pieces
by others who sought to help him use
1t. The standout failure in strategy
was the invited guest of Mr.. Wrigley,
Mr.. Week, Joe Mccarthy system.

Detroit is concerned.
Whitehill got of to q bad start,
but once he struck his winning stride
there was no stopping him, as most
of the other clubs in the American
League realize. For the first two
months of the season he had more
than his share of troubles, being
batted from the box repeatedly and
booed and jeered at by the fans.
Reports were heard frequently that
he would be traded, but no other
club apparently wanted a pitcher
who lost so consistently. Then Earl
started to- win about the middle of
June and he's been winning ever
since, mainly because of his own
first-class pitching.
Besides his IL full winning games
in succession, Whitehill jumped in
at Cleveland on July 80 and did some
brilliant relief hurting to save a
game for Waite Hoyt. Timothy
Keefe Of the Giants in 1888, and
