an even more formidable contender

prove it that way-anything to show
you that the Cubs are a real club, not
a bunch of four leaf clovers walking
on their hind legs.
It'll take some doing, I admit.
There're three tough teams against

Pirates, and thefe're q couple more

II you were seeing Mr.. Grimm
for the first time you would not
take him for an inspirational
leader or a big-brained strategist.
His record-two pennants In four
years-is one of the best, but Mr..
Grimm neither looks nor speaks the

no Washington for deep-seated wis

Stanley Cup champions, found them
selves two games behind in the three
out-of- five series for the league title
with the prospect Of having to down
the Detroit Red Wings three times
straight on Detroit ice In order to
reach the cup finals.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, trailing
by goals on the total goals basis as
their game with the Boston Bruins
went into the second period last night,
turned on a sensational rally that saw
tallies in the second period after
Boston's Eddie Shore had been ban
ished for 10 minutes for misconduct.
Get to Semi-Finals.
THE score of the game was 8-3 and
figuring in the first game on the
total goal basis it gave the Leafs an.
8-6 margin and the semi final play-on
berth.
The New York Americans, who
found the going rough in beating out
the Montraeal Canadiens for q play
off berth, lost to the Chicago Black
Hawks, 5-4. last night. but their so
triumph in their first game gave them

form Is long, low, closeto-the ground
and economical stride from the hips,

the event.
Tall and rangy, loose-looking in

spreads his speed out over the entire
route without depending on a final
squirt to bring him home in front.

T<HE report that Ben Eastman is
back in training with an eye
leveled on an Olympic berth is
i good news. The former STAN
ford flyer is just about the best half
miller in the world and his presence on
the team would give America an ex-
cellent chance of winning the 800
meters, something our middle distance
men have failed to do since Ted Mer-
edith won the event at Stockholm in
1912
Eastman set the existing world rec
ord for the half mile when he scam
pered over the cinders in Palmer Sta
dunn in 1898 on the occasion of the
first Princeton invitation meet in
June, 1884. Injuries forced him to re-
main on the shelf through most of
1885, but that rest very likely did him
more good than harm. He has plenty
of opportunity to bring himself back
TO his best form by the time the Olym-
pic trials come along.

PUT for very human and pardon

revenge for the surprise defeat Bill
Carr handed him in the Intercollegiate
A. A. A. A. championships on the West
coast in the Spring of 1892, Eastman
might well have won the Olympic 800

was hurt when Carr outfooted him in

title in the palm of his hand if he
would only go after it.
In the nationals" Carr beat East
man by the same margin, about 2
yards, in 46.9 seconds. The little flyer
