THE SPORTCHT
Reunion Of Old Cubs Recalls Fiery
Era When Frank Chance Was Leader.

Cubs As the Giants faltered In the
stretch-they wound up in a tie and
were ordered to play one game for
the pennant.
No other day in the base ball
history Of New York could
match that one for excitement.
The crowd that stormed the Polo
Grounds jammed it quickly and some
OF the later arrivals, unable to get in
any other way, battered down a sec
ton Of the right-field fence. The
Cubs took the field under a shower
Of abuse and at least once during the
game, when Johnny King, the
catcher, started for a foul fly close
to the grandstand, fans threw bottles
and cushions at him. Everything was
against the Cubs that day-a bitter
and embattled Giant team led by
John McGraw and with Christy
Mathewson pitching. backed up by a
bowling, booing, bottle throwing mob.
But the Cubs were undaunted. They
tore into the Giants, beat Matty, won
the game by score Of 4 to 2,

I'feas that the rising price level,
spurred by the profit urge anG
made possible by accelerated
business activity. is now endan-
gering purchasing power and
hence the upSwing of business
recovery.
DIG profits are necessary to car
- ny the budget, the fiscal group
figures. 1t also believes that with
expansion of the capital goods in
dustry, a forecast of 60 per cent
more building this year and other
favorable factors, federal eXpendi-
lures for stimulation Of industry
may now practically stop.
Various government policies are
conditioned by the fiscal groups
theories. One poStulate is that
government should be careful to
do nothing to interfere with the
continuing upturn-"Don't rock
the boat"
THE other group is primarily
l. anxious for action which will
keep the cost of living curve on
the economists charts below the
curve denoting average earnings
of workers. T. h.g ~. Hgf
There has been a big price adj
vance since last October; since
election the former curve has
come right up alongside the lat
ter. When plants get to operating
near capacity the usual tendency
is to give prices the gun for big
ger profits.
The fiscal group doesn't seem to
mind, holding that the profits will
be we'll skinned for taxes. But
the other group says that if prices
get ahead of purchasing power the
goose which has been laying tho
golden egg will be killed.
Consequently, it urges brakes
on prices and a curb on monop-
olies which control prices, while
favoring any measures which will
<end to increase wages and pur-
chasing power, to the end that all
factors making for recovery may
be kept in even balance.
