BY GAYLE TALBOT.

Associated Press Sports Writer.
TINE Chicago Cubs, scenting world
series honey, moved today to
put the finishing touches on the
Pittsburgh Pirates, their last
surviving rivals for the National League
title.
They met at Wrigley Field, home OF
the prospective champions, in double
header labeled sudden death" for the
Pirates. A victory in either tussle was
all the Cubs needed to MAKE their trl-
umph official and assure them week OF
rest before tackling the Yankees,
American League kings, in the big
battle.
Although today's games were i'm
portant, they were not, strictly speak
ing. Of the crucial variety. The Cubs
could drop all four parties with the
Pirates and still win out by humping
Cincinnati in their last two games.
There was however, a certain pathos
in the prospective beacnlng OF the proud
Pirate craft. 1t was easy to remember
how, in the latter days OF July, the
Buccaneer brig was sailing along better
than six games ahead OF the field, the
experts wondering how Tony Piet and
Floyd Vaughn would conduct themselves
in a world series. Then sometinC pull
ed loose.
While the main show was going on
at Wrigley Field today, the Phillies and
Brooklyn Dodgers were engaged in a
private feud that had Philadelphia fans

place, were within half game of their

Ruth Achieves Mighty Charge
Back to Heights Of Base Ball
Fame During Campaign of 1926
This is the eighth OF 10 stories
relating the prodigious uorld series
teatS OF the one and only Babe Ruth.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL,

n 1EW YORK, September 2o.-
M Mayor James J. Walker, idol Of
v New York, stood in the speak
er's place by a great banquet
table, and Babe Ruth, the penitent,
sat at his side.
The season of 1925, most torturous
year CT the great hitter's entire career,
was over. He was we'll again, healed
of the monumental "tummy ache" that
had almost ended his base ball days.
even his life. He had made his peace
with Miller Higgins after the tempera-
mental outburst following his suspen-
sion and $4,000 fine for misconduct
off the field''
Ahead lay the rockiest of roads, the
comeback trail Net a man among the
hundreds present knew whether the
happy-go- lucky playboy of the diamond
had the strength of character, the
resolution to turn his back on failure,
the indulgences that had brought him
down, and fight his way back.
For the Kids.
Walker, brilliant orator, remarkable
psychologist, trained his mightiest guns
on the Bambino'S bowed head. He
as though he were alone with Ruth he
made his final plea one hand on the
big fellows hunched shoulders.
For the dirty-faced kids in the
street Babe =. the kids who love
you idolize you you can't
fail. -
The Babe lifted wet eyes that night,
mumbled his thanks and went home.
His course might already have been
set. Perhaps nothing could have stop
ped his thunderous charge back to the
heights.
Biggest Comeback Of All.
Whatever his motivating power he
came back at 80 with rush no athlete
in history ever has equaled. He hit
.372 over the 1926 season, crashed 47
home runs, and drove the Yanks into
the world series with the Cardinals. his
seventh, and the first of a string Of
three in :the reign of one of the
mightiest of all base ball aggregations.
He set eight individual world series
records in the seven-game battle with
the Cardinals that Grover Cleveland
Alexander won by tanning Tony Lazzeri
with the bases full in the seventh after
relieving Jess Haines. The series ended
with him still trying out steal
ing second with the tieing run and two
gone in the ninth. He never let up
from Spring to Fall.
He hit three home runs in the fourth
game and scored four times. He scored
the. winning run in the first game,
walked four times in the seventh game
He hit 300, walking II times, clouteI
four homers in the series.
He was roaring back up the comeback
trail, his greatest feats still ahead.
