there is room for one more bust at
CooperStoWn I suggest that the
space be filled with a plaster COM
posite of the gentlemen who handle
the buying, hiring, and firing OF
baseball players for the Chicago
Cubs.
These front office geniuses of
Lake Michigan are the bust OF
the century. With apparently no
effort they have contrived to get
rid of enough fine players to win
half a dozen pennants, and bought
enough lemons to make a Tom
Collins for half the population OF
China.
You can pick a team of former
Chicago Cub players who are op-
Grating in the majors right now
that could beat the daylights out
Of the present Chicago club that
is fIoundering around in fifth place,
nine or ten games back of the lead
ers.
To save you the trouble (and the
hearJache, ii you're Cub mani
Ill name 'em for you:
Pitchers: Lon Warneke, Curt Da-
Wis, Walter Higbe, Hugh Casey, Ray
Harrell, Buck Newsom, and Lynn
Nelson.
Catchers: Ken ODea and Blimp
Phelps.
Infleld: Dolf Camilli, first base;
Lonnie Frey, second base; Billy
Jurges, shortStop: and Tony Lazzeri,
third base.
Outfield: Wally Berger, left field;
Tut Stainback. centerfield; and Joe
Marty, right field.
Not a bad ball club boys. The
pitching staff has won 35 and lost
20 for an average, which, if the
Cubs owned, would have them up
there just a breath from first place.
The infield would be the best in the
National league, the outfield better
than fair and the catching staff
adequate.

day gained the second round of the

amazing. They paid the PhillieS
$65,0O0 and five players for Chuck
Klein Two years later, after pay
ing Klein $4,000 in salary they
sent him back to Philadelphia along
with $4,000 for Curt Davis. This
maneuver is doubly interesting
when you know that they could
have purchased Davis earlier, when
he was on the coast, for a mere
$4,000. The Cubs didn't like him
then-thought he was sickly.
The Cubs gave Dolf Camilli and
S2500 to Philadelphia for one Don
Hurst. Hurst went out like light,
but Camilh starred for the Phillies
and later was sold to Brooklyn for
the fat sum of $65,000.
Lon Warneke was traded to St.
Louis for Rip Collins. Warneke is
one of the games great pitchers
today and Collins has been shunted
out of the majors to the coast
league.
Having developed an amazing
talent for spotting players precisely
at the moment they had passed
their primes, the Cubs put Davis,
Stainback and Clyde ShOun, plus
S185,00 on the line for Dizzy Dean.
In gaining the once mighty Dizzy
the Cubs gained sore arm and
the right to pay Dizzy $4,000 a
year in salary. What they have
spent on doctors trying to make
Dizzy a winner is known only to
the medicOs who took him in
charge.
Frey, not the best second baseman
in the league, was sold for little
more than the waiver price, and
some of the boys will tell you that
the Cubs could have had Joe Di.

of six is a mere 900 per cent.
Lately the Yanks have been VIM
ming ball games with their Rock
of Gibraltar" defense. Their hitting
has gone sour. In their last six
games against the Indians and
Tigers the New Workers have scored
only 81 runs to their opponents 20.
The Yanks have averaged six runs
plus throughout the season, but
in the present stay at the stadium
they've averaged only 32-3 runs
per game.
But in common with all Yankee
teams, this one comes through
with pitching when needed. If the
YankS happen to run into some
tough pitching as they did when
Mel Harder held them to four hits
and Buck NewSom to seven, they
match it with greater pitching and
a better defense. Consequently, the
Yanks have won two 10 games
lately, beating Harder and New
som each by that margin.
For the first time in six games,
the YankS' hits went into double
figures yesterday when they slug
ged out l3 blows to beat the Tigers,
8-5. They shelled their conqueror
of a month ago, Dizzy Trout, out
of the box with five runs in the
first inning. Joe Gordon had a

ers as did Higgins, McCosky. and
KreSs for the Tigers. Oral Hide
brand held the Tigers to six hits
for his third victory.

Berardino with the winning run

ators to win 2-l victory in Ia
innings In the first game of a twin
bill. Vernon Kennedy went the
route, allowing only six hits. Emil
Leonard, who was relieved in the
10th for a pinch hitter, was re-
placed by Pete Appleton, who was
charged with the loss. The Sena-
tors came back with a 6-1 victory
in the nightcap, Joe KrakauSkas
Handwriting the Browns with six
scattered hits for his second win
of the year.
In the only National league game
the Cubs and Dodgers battled to
3-3 tie in eight innings, rain
halting the contest. The Cubs had
the game won, going into the
eighth. Dick Bartell allowed the
tying run when he threw wild to
first on Koy's grounder with two
out. Two Brooklyn errors previous
ly helped the Cubs to two runs.
Stanley Hack hit a homer for Chi

The Oilers started their winning

The northend team scored two in

the balance in the final frame.

 For the designers have brought out collections of brilliant-hued easy-going togs which on sight make a guy want to stretch out under the sun, even though at that moment he may be stranded on the windy steppes of Manhattan.
 Style Goes Slack
 No. style item is the slack suit. This little number has been grac- ually evolving from pajama-like garments made of potato-sack materials into a full-fledged suit of fine fabrics, specifically woven for the purpose. The new shirts are very well made have tailored backs and shoulders, shaped waists, big pockets. Stacks are also refined in tailoring.
 A newcomer in the field is a coi- larless jacket which sometimes dis places the shirt, sometimes goes with it. By purchasing jacket and slacks of one color, then various colored open -collared shirts, man can form handsome, all-purpose tropic wardrobe. Slack-Suits are now correct for everything from beach lounging to luncheon on the terrace.
 While Americans generally favor slacks, reports from European wa tering places indicate the men there have discarded those in favor Of shorts for comfort. In brilliant new hues known as "cabana colors {" these go along with open collar. featherweight laZyman's shirts, and are right for all day.
 Coarse cottons, linens, spun ray- ons, crash, hopsacking, garbardine are favorite fabrics for jacket, slacks, shorts and shirts. For the latter there are also fishnet fabrics loose meshes, cotton plaids.
