quate public recreation, lacks a

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29.-P)-
The Cubs are, in.
The Chicago champs who took
over the National League lead in
July and held it all the way
against the surge of the St. Louis
Cardinals, nailed the pennant to
their flagpole today for the first
time since 1888.
The 100000 s'pennant insur-
ance'' they bought from the New
York Yankees in mid season
Hank Borowy-paid off in the elm
cher with an eight-hit to vic
tory over the Pittsburgh Pirates
in the first half of a double header
that out the flag on ice, giving
the Cubs their 10Th league crown
since 1876 for an all-time high.
This one broke a tie at Is apiece
that they'd been in with the New
York Giants since 1898. Just for
good measure, the Cubs also took
the s-shortened S n d
game, so, in seven innings with
Hy Vandenberg and Lon Warneke
dividing the pitching chores and
Catcher Paul Gillespie whacklng
tWo-run homer.
It marked, too, the third Cub
championship conquest under the
leadership of jolly Cholly Grimm.
Back in 1882, Grimm took over
in mid-season and piloted the
Windy City wallpapers to a pen
nant, then was whipped in the
World Series by the Yanks. Three
years later, he put them on top
again, only to lose a six-game
World Series to Detroit, the outfit
that probably will be the party OF
the second part when the fall
frolics open next Wednesday. All
the Tigers have to do to get their
ticket of admission is split tomor-
rows double-header with tn e
Brown in St. Louis.
Borowy and his mates had to
come from behind in the seventh
and ninth innings to reach the pay
off window today, and then Hank
had to call for the bullpen fire de-
partment of lefty Bob Chapman
and Beanpole Paul Erickson to
put out Buc blaze that threaten
ed to burn up the pennant. party at
the last minute.
But when Erickson pushed a
withdrawing curve past pinch
hitter Tom O'Brien, with Pirates
on second and third and two away
in the ninth, it was all ove... And
Borowy's game was saved for his
18th win against two defeats since
the Cubs wrote out that big check
for him in July-his 21st triumph
in his combined Cub-Yank year.
