Lazzeri to Aid Cubs Board of Strategy

CHICAGO, Oct. N.N.S.).-IgnOring statistics that
might give them an inferOrity complex, the Chicago
Cubs today figured the momentum Of their stretch
drive to carry them through victory against the New
York Yankees In the impending World Series.
From Manager Gabby Hartnett to the last bat hoy,
they brushed away records showing the murderOuS
Yankees far superior on paper and mentioned their
own finish In the National League to show the under
dog doesn't always stay there.
Tony Lazzeri, the former Yankee infielder, imme
dately took added importance in the Cubs board
of strategy due to his thorough knowledge Of his for
mer mates. AS good Cub he confidently predicted
they could do the Yanks in without too much trouble

DEFERRED
ID. C, ICE PALACE
TO OPEN NOV. 3
By KIRK MILLER

Washington's ice skaters, yearn-
ing for their favorite indulgence,
are to have it satisfied for the first
time under any roof beginning No
vember 3, when the spacious Chevy
Chase Ice Palace opens on Con-
necticut Avenue just off Albemarle
Street.
They will be indebted to the far
seeing Garfield KaSs, president Of
the real estate firm bearing his
name, for providing an ice sur
face rs by 200 feet where for 13
hours each day, the pleasure skat-
erS and fancy skaters may cut all
the capers they wish.
Thus Mr.. Kass ecomes a
pioneer in Washington in q sport
which long since has been well
established in many cities of far
smaller population than the Cap
ital. He will have accomplished, in
another month, what a half dozen
groups of this city have contem.
lated over the last 10 years. with,
out their plans ever coming to
fruition.
ATTEMPT FAILS
The nearest to approach the
actual realization Of an ice-skat
ing plant in Washington was Joe
Cambria, the Baltimore laundry
baseball tycoon. Two years age
Cambria broke ground for an ice
rink on Wisconsin Avenue in
Georgetown and poured the foun
dationS for his building, becoming
discouraged before his structure
reared its walls above the ground
For the time being, Mr.. Kass is
not embracing ice hockey, pre-
ferring to feel his way toward that
goal. Should he find a demand
for that sport, with its lightning
speed and vigorous body contact
he hopes to be able to arrange
for sufficient seats to be thrown
around his rink to draw enough
spectators to justify the inaugura
tion of ice hockey.
When the Chevy Chase Ice Pal
ace opens Thursday, November 3
with an immense floor show
Brought here from New York
there will be a seating capacity
for about $500 spectators. This
will include the balcony which
rises on the north end Of the
auditorium, however.
DECIDES ON SHOW
Some time today, Mr.. Kass will
decide whether he can have his
auditorium ready for the automo
bile show which has been sched
uled for the last week Of this
month.
Meanwhile, the large open area
will be available for indoor tennis
and basketball as we'll as boxing
and wrestling, should there de-
velop a demand for either.
Coincident with the opening of
the ice palace will be the opening
of 40 bowling alleys to occupy one
of the lower floors. c. w. Mitchell
who has been manager of the
Sports Center at Baltimore, has
been engaged to operate the ice
facilities at the Chevy Chase pal
ace where skates will be for rent
and repairs to skates will be avail
able.

It's a question if the Cubs
can stand two runs like that in
one season. They are bunged
up worse than Schmeling's short
ribs. They were carrying moro
sail than your grandma with q
hoop-skirt, mutton-chop sleeves
and a parasol. The Pirates,
Reds and Cards we're just as
tough pickings as taking q
drunk home from the lodge.
They wrestled every foot OF
the way.
Their pitching staff is marked
up worse than a school house
fence. Gabby HGrtnettS finger
looks like an order OF lamb
chops. But They're got one
thing you can't laugh of. The
Cubs are a fighting outfit. IT
they U1nted to cross the deUtPS
PLAYGROUND they 1Douldn't 1DGit
for it to freeze oUer. Those lads
Mould cross VeSuUiuS in a paper

That's one thing you cannot
discount in a short series. The
seasons statistics don't mean
anything in the series. There's
always an individual hero who
gets hotter than an oil burner.
DAILY DOUBLE: The Yanks
are in already if they're batting
with lead pencils. When you
talk to Harvard about the Rose
Bowl they ask you to omit
flowers.
The YdnkS haze had q nice

stronger than broUned onions.
1t looks like the Cubs must open
Dith Bill Lee, pray for rain and

YankS can start any FIRST

But that doesn't mean they
have the works by the ears. The
game is never over until the
groundkeeper buys more grass

national ailment.

count a guy out until you take

The series will be a lot Of fun.
you will see some exciting games
and the Cubs will go down fight
