~HICAGO, october 6.-The Cubs
A made trip to Chicago's South
Side today-a trip they hadn't
expected to make-with large
ideas of finishing up the city series.
After taking the second game at
Ccmiskey Park and winning the opener
in their own park Friday, the Cubs fig
ured to wind up the series in Wrigley
Field. But they reckoned without
Tommy Thomas, who gave they six hits
and an s-to-2 beating Saturday.
The National League entrant again
went one up on the White Six yesterday
when Pat Malone outlasted five Sox
pitchers for a 6-to-4 victory. Ted
Lyons, who stopped the Cubs cold in
the first game of the set, was not the
pitcher to fool them yesterday, and he
was batted from the hill in the fifth
inning.
Hack Wilson also selected the day for
his first home Iii of the series, a drive
over the right-f2ld screen with Cuyler
On.
The Sunday game drew the biggest
crowd of the series, 45,104 paid admts-
Slons, almost as many as watched the
last Sunday game between the Cubs
and Giants, while the former were still
candidates for the National League title
Sheriff Fred Blake, who scored the first
Cub victory, was to oppose Cecil Pat
Caraway, White Sox southpaw, today.

that Haines could do it. and he GER
tainly rewarded me with one OF the
finest exhibitions I have seen in
long time.
IRE turning point of the game came
in the fourth inning when, with the
score tied, chased Hafey home when
Dykes made a wild throw on Blades
grounder. Chick of course scored. That
run put us ahead, and we were never
headed after that. That vas what
was there for, though. I think that
play upset the Athletics considerably, as
after that they did not look as dan
gerous to me as they did in the early
innings.

Everybody asks me why Jim Bottom
ley has not been hitting. That cannot
answer. But this much 1 can say: Jim
has been hitting at nothing but good
balls and he has driven out some hard
smashes, but they have not gone safe.
But he has done all that could be ex-
pected in the field and he is hustling
all the way. just like my entire ball
club. The two games here showed what
hustling would do.
Depend on Grimes.
In the fifth game today it will be
Burleigh Grimes for US. He had tough
luck in the game he pitched at Shibe
Park, when all the hits were for extra
bases. But here We have shown that
long hits are not as easy to get and 1
am sure that Grimes will send us on
our way to Philadelphia tonight with
lead of one game. Then we will keep
right on hustlipg until We win the series
and bring the title back to the National
League.
