CH|CUBS SHOW
LATE PUNCH

Bagging IL straight victories
the longest winning streak in
either league this year-and Is
wins out of 16 starts during their
current home stand, the Chicago
Cubs have demonstrated that it
Is almost impossible to beat them
on their home grounds at this
stage of the race.
Analysis of Chicago's record
since August 16 discloses that the
club has the ability to win bail
game after the eighth inning.
OF their IS victories since August
16, seven have been won after the
eighth frame-four in the ninth,
one in the tenth, one in the fiji
teenth inning, and one in the
nineteenth. Three of these Gar,
rison finishes have been made in
their last three games with the
Giants.
After the Cubs had tied the
score in the ninth yesterday, New
York apparently Sewed up the
game by scoring four runs in the
tenth. Then the Bruins showed
their class by pushing five tallies
across the platter in their half of
the inning, winning 10 to g
Cuyler's homer, with two on base
and two out. climaxed the rally.
Pie Traynor's homer, poorly
played by Outfielder Berger, sent
in two runs and enabled Leon
Chagnon. of the Pirates, to cap
ture a 2-to-1 duel from Walter
Belts, of the Braves. The Pirates
have won their last five games,
while the Braves have lost four in
succession.
Brooklyn crept closer to second
place by two-timing the Reds, 7 to
l and II to 10. Elon Hogsett
drove in three runs with two
homers and a single as Detroit
shaded the Athletics, to 4, snap
ping the winning streak of Tony
Freitas.

George zaharias, the bouncing

prove a stubborn opponent foI
Gino Garibaldi when they collide
in the feature wrestling attrac'
ton of Promoter Joe Turner's
show at the Clark Griffith Sta
dium tonight.
zaharias has the distinction of
being placed on the list of
wrestlers with whom Jimmy Lon'
dos refuses to break bread. Ia
harias plays just a bit too rough
for Greece'S outstanding contribu.
ton to American sports.
Not so with Garibaldi, known
as the italian Upper" Garibaldi
fears no human and asks no
quarter. He welcomes stout
hearted opponents who spice
their wrestling with rough tac-
tics.
Looking forward to a pros
pective match with LondoS, Carl
baldi has spilled every opponent
Promoter Turner has obtained for
him. The Italian doesn't propose
to permit Zaharias to spoil his
perfect local record, but the Colo
RADIO grappleer is a wrecker of am
bilious foes.
The semi-final betwixt Ray
Steele and Jim McMillen should
also prove interesting. These
chaps have been matched in a IS
minute time limit bout, but II
may not last that long. Steele
came East after gaining a fall
over Jimmy LondoS in a match on
the Pacific Coast, the duel END

The Babe Ruth Contest for
1882 is all over, fans. Yes, it's
over, but it's just begun for Your
Contest Editor, who promises
you he'll be plenty busy for the
next week or so.
And why? Well, the reasons
are easy to explain.
First off, there's about 10000
letters on hand. Next, every one
of these earnestly written epistles
must be scanned carefully.
And this means not only the
selections sent in, but the reasons
as well. Finally, winner must
be determined.
Now, you think Your Contest
Editor hasn't a job before him ?
Well, he'll tell you he has.
Competition Great
After all is said and done, the
winner OF the world series trip
this year will be truly deserving,
not to mention fortunate. This
because the competition has been
SO great.
The winner will go to the
first two games at New York
This, of course, if the New York
Yankees win the pennant, which
fact looms more and more every
day.
Still, if some miracle happens
and the YankS do not triumph.
the Ruth contest winner will be
taken to the first two games OF
the series which opens in an
American League city this year
Kirk Miller, Times sports edi-
tor will be the escort. Fans who
have won the trip in past years
know what a grand escort he is,
and how we'll he handles things.
The actual announcement of
Babe Ruth'S selections will not
come until after the letters have
all been read and scanned as
said before. And from the looks
of things it's going to take
about ten days.
Be Patient
So your Contest Editors mes
sage to you fans today is to just
be little patient, that's all. II
won't be long.
Here are a few last minute
letters Snatched from the mail

so he thought nothing OF feeding his
