Same Old Story

Everybody said the Cubs would be
sure to win in 1896. They got away
to a good lead, but the Giants over
took them and beat them out. His
tory repeated itself in 1887 with
vengeance. In the first week of
August the Cubs had accumulated a
seven-game lead. Then trouble
came again. Athletes began leaving
the lineup because of injuries.
The lead dwindled. The Cubs went
to New York and opened with
double-header. They had a COM
Portable lead in the first game when
the Giants came to bat in the last
of the ninth. Then a hit and a cou-
pie of infield errors turned Giant
defeat into victory. After that the
Cubs were through.
This year things started out
bravely when the generous Phil K.
Wrigley made the deal for Dizzy
Dean who was expected to be PEN
nant insurance for the Cubs. Then
it was discovered that Dizzy's all
ing arm hadn't healed and his future
status still is doubtful.

grade with the Cardinals, so they
sent him to Columbus in the Ameri-
can association. Light hitting
caused his release there. So Sam
my will be in there singing passes
for the Washington Redskins when
the pro football season opens next
fall.
Baugh's failure to make good in
baseball brings to mind several
parallel cases. Jim Thorpe, famous
Indian, recognized as probably the
greatest all-arOund football player
in sports history, tried out in the
National league some years ago as
a member of the New York Giants.
Jim could field acceptably, throw
accurately and run the bases like
deer. But he couldn't hit big-leaguo
pitching. After few months Nc
Graw had to give up on him.

the Cubs got into action, taking the
third game 3 to /. The fourth game
was the heart breaker and it pres
aged McCarthy's departure from
the league. The Cubs got an 8-run
lead over the Athletics in that game,
only to see the Athletics score 10
runs in one inning to lick them.
Connie Mack took the next one with
out trouble. .st
That 10-run rally was McCarthy's
swan song. AT the end of 1880, when
the Cubs didn't win the flag, Rogers
Hornsby was made manager. Still
the team didn't get going. In
August, 1882, he offered to quit and
his offer was accepted by the late
William L. Veeck, then president.
Charley Grimm took command
and the team raced on to "a pen
nant. Everybody said Charley was
miracle man. That is, until the
Cubs met the New York Yankees
in the worlds series. They took it
on the chin in four straight defeats.
A late season squirt of 81 straight
victories gave the Cubs the 1885
pennant. The Detroit Tigers were
their worlds series opponents this
time and the experts gave the Cubs
the edge because of the way the
Tigers had bowed to the St. Louis
Cardinals the year before. But the
Cubs couldn't win. Hard luck in
the form of an injury to Lon Warne-
ke's arm logged them.

Job! Try Being
Cubs Manager
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

IF YOU'RE looking for a really
tough job, know how to take it,
have steady nerves, are accustomed
to regular diet of grief and don't
mind losing few nights sleep ev-
cry week, then try your hand at
being manager of the Chicago Cubs
for a spell. Not-that Charley Grimm
would swap with you. Perish the
thought! He's game guy and he'll
stick it out It'll the cows come home,
pennant or no pennant.
It's traditional that something al
ways goes wrong with the Cubs.
Star athletes get charley horses at
just the wrong moment. Pitchers
who have been shutting them out
lose their effectiveness. Sluggers
can't deliver when a single would
win ball game. Sensational re-
cruits don't live up to advance
notices.
Still the manager is expected to
win pennants., That was the case in
Joe McCarthy's regime. Joe came
from Louisville in 1926. The Cubs
had finished last in the National
league the year before and the late
William Wrigley had taken control
with the intention of getting the
team out of its rut, and opened his
pOcketbOOk.

No-Hit Hero
NJ EVER in the 1O0-year history of
baseball has pitcher pitched
two no-hit, no-run games in a sea-
son. That is, never until Johnny
Wander Nicer, twenty-three-year-old
hurler of the Cincinnati Reds, per-
formed that feat recently. Wander
Nicer made his record all the more
remarkable by pitching his two no.
hit games in succession, only four
days apart.
The fastballing youngster made
his first contribution to baseball
fame by shutting out the Boston
Bees in no-hitter. Then only 90
hours later, he took on the Brooklyn
Dodgers in the first night game
played in that city and duplicated
his no-hit, no-run performance.
With his second no-hitter, Wander
Nicer broke Dazzy Vance's National
league record for consecutive hitless
innings. His Is against Boston and
Brooklyn, coupled with the final one
third Of an inning against the New
York Giants in his previous start,
gave him a record of 1917 scOreless
innings. He added three more score
less innings in his next game, max
ing his total 21% innings.

An Old Story

There is story dating back to
1888, right after Franklin .. Roose-.
welt became President, that some
bankers in New York. who hap
pened to be the trustee for his faith
er's estate, wrote him a carefully
Worded but perhaps indiscreet in
quiry as to what it would be safe
to put his money in, in view of what
the government might do.
According to the story, Roosevelt
'laconically answered; "You are-the
trustees"
Also, according to the story, the
bankers wired back: 1--WE have put
the money in government bonds.
Now you are the trustee"
That story is apropos now because
OF the recent statement to the press
by President Roosevelt of his ideas
on what return should be permitted
on capital invested by private per-
sons. He was speaking particular
ly of the utilities, and he was dis
cussing the so-called prudent in
vestment" theory.
|, If you put that statement together
with the very Well-knoWn ideas of
Mr.. Roosevelt on interest rates,
there results a situation which to
any prudent investor, would
seem to indicate that the sensible
thing to do would be to put one S
Ynnpay II, uor,arryoap4 bard~ IT.
pecially if one had an income large
enough to put it up in the high
surtax brackets. And that, of
course, is where a lot of the money,
if not most of it, for all sorts of
new ventures and expansions comes
from.
The point is that Mr.. Roosevelt's
pattern for private investment con-
tains no calculation for losses. If
an investor puts money into five en-
terprises, and one of them is a flop,
resulting in complete loss, there
is no way, under tf4e Roosevelt for
mula, for one of the others to be a
bonanza, thus enabling the inves-
tor to come out even. He is just
out of luck.
Rcosevelt's Ideas
Let's look ! at Roosevelt's own
ideas of prudent investment" as
expressed to the press. And one
must bear in mind that it is Roose- |
velt's ideas about the famous Bran
deis decision, not what the justice
really said, that is important.
If any of the money was invested
foolishly, that does not count. That
is just loss. If any of the money
was spent crookedly, that does not
count. The President did not men
ton promotion, but he does not like
promotion, so that does not count.
II the company bought some land.
which increased in value through no
merit on the part Of the company,
that does not count.
So it's only the money actually
put in, and then spent wisely" pru-
