/ cago CUBS get a WeIl-earned rest
from their 1885 record-setting pace
of 10 straight victories today as the
National Leagues Eastern teams
head home with the pennant al
ready the property of the West.
No National games are sched-
uled today-New York, Philadel-
phia, Brooklyn and Boston are
on their way East to finish off
the season against each other after
one of the most disastrous West
ern expeditions.
Headed by the Cubs, who didn't
lose a single game against four East
ern opponents, the Western teams
won 48 and lost 10 in their last
stand of the season against the in
vaders.
The Cards gathered II victories
and Pittsburgh and Cincinnati &C
counted for 10 each. The Giants
turned in the best Eastern record
with eight victories and eight de-
feats. Even so, their pennant hopes
were blasted as they dropped four
straight to the Cubs after taking
three Of four from st. Louis.
Interest on Western Front
AS a result, major league inter-
est until the season ends Sept. %
will center on the Cubs and Cards,
who will have to decide which of
them is going to play Detroit in the
world series.
The Cards definitely are on the
spot in their battle to retain the
title they won a year ago. The
CUBS are riding the crest of a To-
game winning streak with no ap-
parent weakness developing in any
department. Pitching is holding
up we'll Charley Grimm is rotat-
ing his four-man staff so precisely
that each gets at least three days
rest between games.
The Cubs are functioning well at
bat and one needs to look no fur
ther than Wednesdays game with
the Giants, wherein the Cubs scored
ii runs in three innings, to see that
they are getting more than their
quota of hits
Deans Hold Up
The Cards, hanging on grimly only
212 games behind, have been forced
to depend on the Dean brothers,
who have appeared in II of the last
20 games. The loss of Terry Moore
because of an injured leg has
crippled them defensively and Of
fensively.
The schedule also favors the Cubs.
They have two games with Pitts
burgh, one each tomorrow and Sun
Gay, and then are idle until Wednes-
day, when they open the final five
games of the season at St. Louis.
The Cards have 10 games left and
need to win their next five if they
are to have fighting chance against
Chicago in the showdown series.
The Giants have IA games left to
play.

ule of the Cubs, Cards and Giants:
