NEW YORK, Sept. 81 Q.N.S).
The Sudeten Pirates announced
their peaceful intentions Of
arching into Checko-cago to-
day. They will bend every eff
fort to preserve peace. Have you
ever copped a gander at one of
the Pirates bent efforts?
The Sudeten Pirates may kick
the CheckocagoS around like q
hat in a barroom scuffle. And
the Checko-cagos may grab the
Sudeten Pirates by the ears and
pull 'em on like a fireman's
boots. But it will be as peace
full as a grizzly overturning a
beehive. All the grizzly wants is
the honey. And that's too sweet
for words.
The Checko-C Cages had the
league to themselves and the
Cards today. And just tore of
enough to DrGp up game.
That puts them on the edge of
PtttSburgh'S short ShGdow.
The real works happen to-
morrow within wading distance
of Lake Michigan. It's an
elimination tournament in cap
sule form. If the Cubs take the
abbreviated series from Pitts
burgh they will be in the lead
by the length of an oysters
neck. Each time they play it
will be like a rush order in a
boiler factory. Both teams have
won 83 games. The Pirates
have lost three less mods than
the Cubs.
Nothing less than three
straight grabs DiH put Chicago
oUer. If they 10in tDo out of
three they Will be like the guy
in the Side-cGr of q motorcycle.
They tOtH be travelling fast but
the other man 1DiH be doing the
driving. They piH be just one
half game out of first place. If
they lose tlDo out of three then
they can call the bird dogs
G1Day from the cuckoo clocks.
The midget series in Chicago
should be hotter than brake
bands in the Alps. Pittsburgh
sneaked in a lunch hour yes
terday thaG should put them on
edge like teeth in a dentists
show case. Traynor has Lucas,
Tobin. K7inger, Bauers and
Blanton whipped up to a slow
boil. BY the way that can't be
the Red Lucas we used to know
in the day when over the fence
was out? We knew a Red Lucas
back in 1900 who only needed a
white uniform to be a good
humor man He was pitching
with limp in those days.
We ran into Mickey Cochrape
at the Stork Club tonigh.. A1Ick
said he would have been hvtter
off if he had stuck 10 Z
vaudeville act we wrote for t.inA
a long time ago. Th!nk ne
teamed up with Arthur pro#n.
Mick played a saxophone and
did a formal jig like an ele-
phant on butter tubs. Brown
sang a big offkey and slightly
to the left. The gags I wrote
for the act had all qualified for
social security dividends. But
they were new to Mick and the
audience liked his smile. That's
one thing he still has.
DAILY DOUBLE-The best
thing about professional foot
ball is that it has no alumni.
fl Teu'HeGueu guy Dtnnlng q
tennis championship is a waste
OF red hair.
The YankS have a bad habit
of winning too early in the sea-
son. That long wait for the
National League is like waiting
around for your wife to curl her
feathers and Sandpaper her
finger nails. BY the time she's
ready you've torn up the the
ater tickets.
They dropped Gdbby Street
in the chute yesterday. Gnbby
caught Walter johnson when
Walter could thread needles
1Oith 'em at Sirty feet.
