them the American League title.
World Series gold and glory
hinges on the answer to that |
theory-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
championship to place along side
of those two titles captured by
Frank Chance. tine peerless leader
back in 1907 and 1908.
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 succession.
battled the Cardinals for seven
games in last years World Series
before they finally lost, and proved
they were a great ball club.
Luck "CdllS the SnOlS
The Cubs have a young and re
Sourceful team, and are unbeatable
when luck lines up on their side.
In a short series luck plays the ma
jor role, calls the winning shots and
makes heroes out of mediocre play
ers and buns out of seasoned cam
paigners. Luck has been riding with
the Cubs for long stretch and has
shown no inclination to desert them
now. The Cubs are imbued with the
spirit the Cardinals had last year,
the spirit the Boston Braves had in
1914, the spirit the New York Yam
KEGS had in 1927-28-32. They think
they can't be licked.
These kids are the greatest bunch
of money players 1 ever saw" says
Charlie Grimm. THE tougher the
going, the better they play"
Gabby Hartnett, dean of the Cubs,
thinks it is the greatest inSpirational
team he ever assembled in his base
tall time.
They Beat the Deans
You'd think a young team like
this would tighten up in a clutch"
saws Hartnett. Every time they
knew they had to win game, they
won it. I think We won the worlds
championship when we beat the
Cardinals three straight. We had
to win, and every player was at mis-
best. Beating the Deans with the
pennant at stake is as big task as
any team could be up against. We
did it, and 1 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 outflelder
in the majors the past season; Phil
Cavarretta, 19-year-old first base
man; Frank Demaree, who got his
baptism of world series action in
the 1882 rout Of the Cubs by the
Yanks; Stanley Hack, with the i'm
piSh grin and schoolbOy complexion
regard the world series as another
chance to prove their right to rec
ignition in the baseball world.
Aim to Bombard Rome
"Some people regard the Cubs as
lucky to beat out the Giants and
Cardinals says Stanley Hack, !
spokesman for the younger group. I
This is our chance to prove that /
we were lucky because we were
good, better than a lot of people, in
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, Hero
Pennock, Cy Young, RUDE Waddell.
Sam Crawford, Home Run Baker
and a gang of other baseball i'm
mortals to cool off the Cubs.
All aboard for those who want TO
ride a winner. The Cubs are hot!
