Same Old Story

Everybody said the Cubs would be
sure to win in 1886. They got away
to good lead, but the Giants over
took them and beat them out. His
tory repeated itself in 1887 with a
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 a
double-header. They had COM
Portable lead in the first game when
the Giants came to bat in the last
of the ninth. Then hit and 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
q member Of the New York Giants.
Jim could field acceptably, throw
accurately and run the bases Y,
deer. But he couldn't hit big-leagn~
pitching. After few months Nc
Graw had to give up ON him.

Want a Tough
Job? Try Being
Cubs Manager
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY

Dy 0A1O4t06 kAs OxAAwOAxK4
IF YOU'RE looking for a really
tough job, know how to take 1t,
have steady nerves, are accustomed
to regular diet Of grief and don't
mind losing a 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 a 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 a 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
pOcketb0ok.

the Cubs got into action, taking the
third game 3 to l. 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.
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
a 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

cured players like Hack Wilson,

Hornsby. The team began to go
places and by 1929 it had won the
National league pennant.
Then the Cubs met the Athletics
in the worlds series and things be-
gan to 60 wrong. An old fellow
named Howard Ehmke who hadn't
pitched for a long time started the
first game for the Athletics and
famed 10 Cubs, while the Athletics
were winning 8 to l. The Athletics
won the second game 9 to 8. Then

No-Hit Hero

NEVER in the 1O0-year history of
l baseball has pitcher pitched
two no-hit, no-run games in sea-
son. That is, never until Johnny
Wander Nicer, acknowledgements
hurler of the Cincinnati Reds, per-
formed that feat recently. Wander
Nicer made his record all the more
remarkable by pitching his two mo-
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 a no-hitter. Then only SO
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 record of 1917 scoreless
innings. He added three more score
less innings in his next game, max
ing his total 211s innings.

and Sing Out the News" becomes an
exciting slant on what is happening in
the world today.
The Washington feud between the
White House and Congress is pictured
several other problems of President
Roosevelt are etched in comical
sketches. For instance, one scene pic
lures three Wall Street tycoons lazily
lounging in deck chairs on luxurious
Florida beach while, through binocu-
lars, they gaze angrily at Roosevelt
fishing from a battleship off shore.
They are complaining that the New
Deal is the ruin of them, that they
can no longer afford imported caviar
and other such luxuries. While this
sketch and several others in the revue
take some sharp cracks at Roosevelt
and his New Deal program, they new

Roosevelt policy.
Another sketch is q satire of the for
eign diplomatic situation with Cham
berlain, Stain, Daladier, Benes, Hit

Practically the whole morning on
stage rs was spent laying the ground
work for this complicated mechanical
situation, which is expected to provide
so thrilling seconds for the finale of
Joan's new picture, THE Shining
Hour"
Fire-control experts arranged and
tested burners hidden about the en-
trance to low, rambling white summer
home, which Fay BANTER was to touch
OF in jealous rage. Charred boards,
embers and broken glass are strewn
about the hallway where Joan is to
find the helpless Miss Sullivan sprawled

the roof. At signal, the roof will
clatter down, just missing Joan by a
matter of inches-it is hoped.

Frank Borzage and the fire experts
hold last grave conference Every
thing is pronounced ready and all
hands are assigned to their stations
1t was long since agreed there could
be only one take, as slight slip-up
would prove serious.
BorZage nodded to his assistant, the
bell rang and suddenly the atmosphere
vas galvanized to thrilling action
Flames spouted high and wide from
the burners and thick black smoke
rolled all over the place as it was
gently stirred by wind machines. In
q moment, the hallway of the white
house looked like an inferno The
camera wouldn't imprint it on the
screen, but there actually was a clear
path through the center, so Joans
only serious problem was to keep the
smoke from gagging her.

dress. the star stood at the flagstoned
entrance and watched for Borzage to
raise his right arm. When he did
she took a deep breath, dashed down
the walk, up two steps and groped
blindly about the little room in search
of her rival. Hidden for a few sec
onds by the walls of flame, she re-
appeared with Miss SULLIVAN in her
arms. She stood wavering as though
about to tumble back into the flames
with her burden, then caught her
self and staggered through the door
way to safety.
A split second after Joan crossed
the threshold BorZage lifted his left
arm. Now the men holding the ropes
dropped their lines. The roof fell in
with resounding roar, carrying the
whole front of the Railways down
with 1t. Sooty embers f1oated about
and blackened every face But the
cameraman kept on grinding. Joan
and Miss Sullivan passed along out
of lens range-and the biggest job on
the picture was finished.
Miss Sullivan, who expects to be-
come a mother before the end of the
year. said she did worry for fear Joan
would drop her at one critical juno
ture in the trip. Outside Of that she
thoroughly enjoyed the ride, she said.
You should laugh" scolded Joan.
"Think of me; I'll be sore for a week"
But there was no visual evidence
Of Joan being any the worse for her
experience. She walked away from
1t on two steady limbs, called for a
glass of water and was soon COM
fortably settled in her dressing wagon.
