CUBS WILL WIN,
MRS, GRIMM
BY MRS. CHARLIE GRIMM

BY MRS. CHARLIE GRIMM
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Well, today
is our day, and the Cubs are 60
ing to win. Charley Root will
pitch and if he's as confident as
he was coming home on the train
about beating those Yanks, every
thing should be all right.
I think that the fans of Chi
cago are the finest in any city of
the country. Can you imagine
turning out the way they did
when the Cubs came home yester-
day? Charlie isn't over it yet. I
don't think that anything ever af-
fected him so much.
That demonstration at the City
Hall after the Cubs won the pen
nant was great. But yesterday it
was different. Here the Cubs we're
coming home beaten in the first
two games and yet the fans
showed that they are still loyal.
Charlie feels that he simply
must win for fans like that.
Being at home will do the Cubs
lot of good. They feel more
natural. Surroundings are more
familiar and the crowd, of course,
more friendly. 1t is lot easier to
play your game when you have
the cheers of the fans.
If Charlie makes a wrong move
he is criticized. So far I don't
think that he has made any wrong
moves, so hope that there hasn't
been any criticism. Oh, imagine
that some of the fans feel bad be-
cause we didn't win at least one
of the games in New York, but
hope they don't lose hope.
just feel that the Cubs are
going to put on one of their best
games this afternoon.
One of our real stars SO far has
been Stevie. Don't you have tc
admire him? Charlie thinks that
he's one of the most valuable
men on the ball team. It doesn't
make much difference whether
it's an ordinary game or a world
series, Stevie goes right along anG
gets his hits. He's a star.
The Washington times., 1932-10-01


Root, they tell us, is a sidearm
pitcher who is dead certain to
beat the Yankees. If he's going
to do that right now he will
have to be a lot better than any
of the pitchers in the American
League we have few there
who are pretty good. We never
lost a clutch" series in the
whole year.
Another thing that you can
remember is that Pipgras is no
mean sample of what side-arm
pitcher should be. He has a
delivery that will come up by way
of Waukegan and points north.
If the Cubs can beat their own
game, they must be good.
Realize TOughness
OF course we realize that the
Cubs have been tough on their
home grounds all year. They
never were beaten. But while
that may be true, I don't think
they carry enough guns to stop
our hitters. The wind may help
them to hit home runs, but l
never saw a wind that blew one
way for five minutes and then
reversed direction, when the other
team was batting. If the Cubs
couldn't hit the ball farther than
we did without any wind, how DO
they figure to beat us with the
wind in our favor.
We hear a lot about heroes in
the world series, but want TO see
a guy who has been more OF a
hero all his life than Lou Gehrlg
Lou has a batting average OF bet
ter than $40 for his major league
career, and right up to the minute
his world series average is .4l8.
Money Player
If that isn't playing when the
checks are down. then I want you
to show me someone who is a
money player.
The Yankees respect "Old Hoss"
Stephenson, left fielder of the
Cubs. He's been playing great SO
far and is real hitter. But per
haps Pipgras will stop him today
There's no reason why we
shouldn't win this third game OF
the series. Governor Franklin D
Roosevelt will be at the game. He
is governor of New York and
against the Eighteenth Amend,
ment. Maybe if the Yankees
lose he won't give the country
beer.

Census Report Shows
Families Are Smaller

Washington.-The size of the Amer
lean family in the last decade contin-
ued the steady decrease which has
been apparent in every decade since
1890. according to figures just issued
by the census bureau.
The population per family in 1890
the bureau reported. was Al, as COM
pared with AZ in 1920. In 1910 the
average population per family was
As. in 1000 II was Al. and in 1890. 40.
The total number of families in the
country. however. was 23.1 per cent
higher in 1890 than fen years ago. Ac-
cording to the figures. there were 90
9SO146 families in the United States
last year.
More than 40 per cent of the FAM
lilies in the United States had radio
sets when the census was taken in
April, 1890. In Illinois nearly Sc per
cent owned radios at that time, while
in the east north central area the per-
centage of families possessing radios
was All.
In the preliminary figures made pub
lie, the bureau said. the term family"
applied to all groups of persons. wheth-
err related or not. who live together as
one household. usually sharing the
same table. One person living alone,
it was poipted out. was counted as a
family. while. on the other extreme. all
inmates of an institution or all per-
sons living in a boarding mouse were
also counted as a family by the CEN
sus enumeratOrS.
