CHICAGO Keeling
EARLY IN SERIES
New Workers. Rout of Ace
Makes National Leagues
Quest Seem Hopeless.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer,

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-Knocked silly
by Yankee power and stifled by
Yankee pitching in the opening game
of the world series. the Chicago Cubs
place what little trust they have left
today in the ailing right arm Of the
once-great Dizzy Dean.
If Dizzy, a world series hero back
in 1884, can summon for one more
afternoon the wizardry that once be-
longed to him, there Is thin chance
that the Cubs can beat this great
Yankee machine and make a fight Of
the championship.
But it is not proposition to bet on.
Even the verbose Dizzy was shocked
into comparative silence when Man
ager Gabby Hartnett told him last
night that he would send him out
there to silence the Yankee bats and
square the series. For once, Dizzy
who opposes Lefty Gomez today, didn't
do much talking
Those who remember the staggering
Dizzy Of 1894. when he came back with
one days rest to shut out Detroit in
the seventh game of the big series,
might find this difficult to absorb
But they must consider that Dizzy
doesn't have his High, hard one" any
more, and that he got an impressive
eye-full Of the Yankees as they
slugged IL hits in taking the opener,
3 to l.
Yankee Collapse Unlikely.
Dean faces them today with fight
ing heart still as big as gallon jug,
and there is something little excit-
ing about his being out there trying to
hold down one Of the most murderous
collections OF hitters in history with
only his control and fair curve ball.
1t is romantic, even, yet the chances
are that Bill Dickey and his playmates
will Pop Dizzy like they popped Bill
Lee yesterday, and that the champions
| will head back home tonight with a
20 lead in the series.
What chance the Cubs had of beat
ing the Yanks was tied up in Lee. Now
it looks more or less hopeless, barring
collapse of the American Leaguers,
and that Is difficult to imagine.
| In Lefty Gomez they have pitcher
for today's game who has won five
straight World Series starts, and for
the third game on Saturday in Yankee
Stadium they have Monte Pearson,
who was good enough to fling no-hit,
no-runner q short time back. How
ever Dean fares today. the Cubs must
call upon Clay Bryant, speedy but
nervous young right-hander in the
third tussle.
Enough to Make Pitcher Sick.
Purchased by the Cubs for the record
price Of $1S5 900 at the start of the
past season, Dean was complete loss
for several months. 1t was only after
a long rest and continued treatment
that his arm responded to some extent.
He has won seven games and lost only
one with the combination OF his

Dickey had four hits in as many

Cold weather holds little terror
for the chipmunks, bears, raccoons
and others of the tribe which holes
up in the winter time and goes to
sleep. Best known of all the winter
sleepers, says writer in the De-
troit Free Press, is the Michigan
black bear, who crawls into a shell
tered hole under the root of some
fallen tree for the winter. When he
first goes into his den, his sleep is
natural and he is easily aroused.
If he is left undisturbed, his sleep
develops into real stupor. When
he is in the midst of the winter sleep
he can be aroused only by many
proddings of a sharp stick.
The woodchuck or grounding re
walls the bear for popularity as a
winter sleeper. Woodchuck dives
underground late in September. and
remains hidden until early in spring,
when some bright day, he again be-
gins to look around.
Unlike the woodchuck, who goes
underground sharp on time, the
chipmunk's disappearance is
prompted entirely by the frost. The
chipmunk postpones his departure
until some cold day, after which he
passes the rest of the winter in a
death-like sleep, to reappear again
some bright warm day in spring.

Gainsborough, Society Painter

Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788),
the first of the distinctly English
school of painting, was the most Gel
ebrated society painter of all time.

most attractive woman he could
imagine. After that he began to
