triumph. are a cinch to white
the American league series entry
down to knothole.
Our memory of the 1906 CUBS
is hazy except for names a n d
feats. We were just a kid living IN
Chicago. Or ra1 Oak Park, a
suburb never j Grated. We 40
recall that Chan Murphy, presl-
dent of the Cubs, lived down the
street about half block. Remem-
'bered also was our frog-eyed awe
one day to see the great Frank
Chance emerge from Murphy S
house.
Our proximity to Murphy, and
the fact we were a pre-
cocious child of about 10 or so
and could read the papers,
convinced us there was only one
team in baseball, the Cubs, and
we vaguely recall gloating over
an astounding victory over John
McGraw's New York Giants by
the score of 10 to O..
Even then the Tinker-to-
Evers-to Chance combination was
becoming byword, but other
names, such as Harry Steinfeldt,
Jimmy Sheckard, Johnny King,
Frank Schultz, Mordecai Brown,
Ed Reulbach and Orvie Over
all were equally worshipped. In
fact, at that impressionable age
the lineup became fixed in our So
called mind and never has been
although we couldn't tell
you for sure the Yankee lineup
of today.
At any rate, that was a team,
and the fact that it was knocked
off, four games to two by those
cushion-hitting White Sox shows
what pitching means in a short
series and that figuring the Amer
lean league entry, probably
Detroit with its Newhouser
and Trout, too lightly isn't &C.
curate figuring.

YANKS BEAT LEADING TIGERS, 5.

DEFEAT ON ACE
LEAGUE PITCHER

DETROIT, Sept. 81. -P)- The
New York Yankees cracked a five
game losing streak by beating the
Detroit Tigers, 5 to 4, in 10 in
nings today, hanging the defeat on
Hal Newhouser, the American lea
gue's top pitcher, who worked the
last three innings in relief.
A resounding tw O. base hit
by Frank Crosetti with two men out
in the tenth scored Johnny Lindell
from second with the wg ru.etao
from the second with the winning
run. Lindell had walked and NOV
ed to second on an infield out.
New York, trailing 10, scored
three times off starter Frank Ov-
errni-e in the seventh on two hits,
two walks and an error, catcher
Mike Garbark driving in two on a
single with the bases loaded. Two
errors by Shortstop Joe Orengo
helped New York to another run in
the eighth off Newhouser.
Detroit tied it up with three in
the eighth, Dick Wakefield's 10th
homer accounting for two runs and
helping to drive out Walt Dubiel,
Yankee starting pitcher who gave
five hits in the first seven innings.
Jim Turner, Johnny johnson and
Bill Zuber relieved in turn for New
York, Zuber gaining credit for the
victory. Newhouser gave two hits
in three innings in losing his ninth
game against 26 victories, working
with just one days rest. -
The Yankee victory, scored be-
fore a paid crowd of 27,065, cut the
Tigers lead to one game, pending

BY WHITNEY MARTIN
NEW YORK, Sept. 21-R-We
finally dug down in the old base
ball records to the Chicago Cubs
of 1906, whose record of 116 Ma
tional league victories the
St. Louis Cardinals hoped to better
this year until they began stumb-
ling over their own prestige and
believing everything that was
written about them.
That 1906 Cub outfit must have
been a team, pals. 1t won the pen
nant by 20 games and won 116
games in a normal season, when
other clubs had the same chance
to get players and there was no
war to sap manpower.
This year the Cardinals are con-
ceded to have big edge over
the other teams because their
practically limitless farm system
enabled them to get adequate re-
placements for departed players
and the luck of the draw found
several key men remaining with
the team. Some even 60 as far
as to say st. Louis is the only
reilly major league club in either
league.
Yet with all these advantages the
Cards can't equal the record OF
the 1906 Cubs.
The real point of the ccmpari-
son, however, is that the 1906 Cubs,
making a walkover of their league
race as the Cardinals did
this year were defeated in the
world series by the Chicago White
sox, team which squeezed
through to the pennant by a mar
gin of only three games and whose
.228 batting average earned for it
the apt label of tnitless wonders.
That should be something OF
a warning to those who believe the
Cardinals, because of their &C.
knowledged class and easy
