 Detroit, Oct. (UP)-Are the Chicago Cubs hot or cold?'
 That's the World Series in . nutshell. It doesn't make much difference whether Hank Green berg comes out of his dismal bat ting slump, whether Schoolboy Rowe's fast bail has the old zip on 1t, whether the Detroit Tigers, one and all, regain the form which won them the American league title.
 World Series gold and glory hinges on the answer to that the- ory--are the Cubs hot or cold? If the Cubs still are imbued with that flaming spirit which swept them to 21 straight victories in the drive down the National league stretch, they'll win another worlds cham pionship to place alongside of those two titles captured by Frank Chance, "the peerless leader" back in 1907 and 1903.
 If the Cubs have cooled off after their dazzling September finish, the Tigers will breeze into their first worlds championship. If luck, the invisible player, refuses to take sides in this series, the Tigers should win. On the cold dope, they have the better ball club. They won the pennant two years in suc- cession, battled the Cardinals for seven games in last years World Series before they finally lost, and proved they were { great ball club.
 The Cubs have young and re- sourceful team, and are unbeatable when luck lines up on their side. In short series luck plays the major role, calls the winning shots and makes heroes out of mediocre campaigners. Luck has been riding with the Cubs for Q long stretch, as has the spirit the Cardinals had last year, the spirit the Boston Braves had in 1914, the spirit the New York Yankees had in 1927 28-32. They think they can't be licked.
 'These kids are the greatest bunch of money players l ever saw" says Charlie Grimm. "The tougher the going, the better they play"
 Gabby Hartnett, dean of the Cubs. thinks 1t is the greatest in- spirational team he ever assembled in his baseball time.
 You'd think young team like this would tighten up in clutch" says Hartnett. Every time they knew they had to win a game, they won 1t. I think we won the worlds championship when we beat the Cardinals three straight. We had to win, and every player was at his best. Beating the deans with the pennant at stake is as big Q task as any team could be up against. We did it, and don't think the Tigers can put any more heat on us than the Cardinals did" The "Kids'' on the Cubs-Augie Galan, greatest first year outfelder in the majors the past season; Phil Cavarretta, 19-year-old first base man; Frank Demaree, who got his baptism of world series action Tn the 1892 rout of the Cubs by the
 Tanks; Stanley Hack, with tne impish grin and schoolboy com plexion-regard the World Series as another chance to prove their right to recognition in the base ball world.
 "some people regard the Cubs as lucky to beat out the Giants and Cardinals" says Stanley Hack spokesman for the younger group. This is our chance to prove that we were lucky because we were good, better than a lot of people, including the Giants and Cardinals thought
 The Cubs slogan is -four straight" If the Cubs win the opening game, who can stop them from winning four straight. If they beat schoolboy Rowe, they'll have to roll back the calendar and call out Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Herb Pennock, Cy Young, Rube Wad- dell, Sam Crawford, Home Run Baker and & gang of other base- ball immortals to cool off the Cubs.
 All aboard for those who want to ride winner. The Cubs are hot!
