CUBS, CH|S0x COCKY
IN CITY TITLE PLAY
Each Team Predicts Triumph in
Four Games-Kennedy Faces
Lee in Opener.

~ the Associated Press.
CHCAGO, September 30.-The Chi
- cago Cubs and White Sox, each
claiming they will make it a four
game sweep, met in their twenty-first
city championship series at Wrigley
Field today.
With fair weather in prospect
preparations were made to handle a
crowd of $4,000 fans, who will hear
the progress Of the world series in
New York between innings.
The Sox pitching choice was Ver-
non Kennedy, ace highlander, who
won 21 games and lost nine during the
regular season, in which the Sox fin
ished third in the American League.
For the Cubs, Bill Lee, also right
handler, served them up.
Tradition lies with the White Sox,
who have taken 13 series to 6 for
the Cubs and ! tie.

Grif. DYKES Dickering.

IF THE White Sox and Cubs were
not playing a city series you could
bet that Jimmy Dykes would be up
here and that he and Grif would talk
things over. From an unimpeach-
able source it has been learned that
Dykes offered Washington First Base
man Zeke Bonura and Pitcher john
ny Whitehead for Joe Kuhel and
pitcher who is rated not as good as
Whitehead.
Griff is reported to have
spurned the deal because he did
not want to give up Kuhel. He
does not want Bonura, but the
prospect Of getting Whitehead
intrigues him, and 50 this prop
osition must not be considered
closed. The substitute offer Of
the Mats to Chicago involved
Bolton, 1t Is said, but Dykes
would have none Of it.
As things shape up now, the Browns,
Red Sox and White Sox promise to
be Washington's chief sources of trad
ing. There is, of course, nothing do
ing with Philadelphia and New York
likely will stand pat. The Tigers and
Griffs could do business but Cochrane
is rumored interested in Wes Ferrell
of the Bostons, and q deal for him
might possibly round out the Tiger
activities in the mart. With Cleve-
