Cub Flag Fever Scars
AS Nicholson Again
Murders Apple
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. T. Big Bill
Nicholson has brushed off the XII
bitzers and personally packed the
sock back into his terrific swish"
to give the league leading Chicago
Cubs throbbing World Series fever.
What every other team in the
National League, particularly the
second-place st. Louis Cardinals,
hoped wouldn't happen has hap
pened. At long last, the brawny
Cub outfielder apparently has
ended his long batting slump.
Since last Monday, rival pitchers
have tossed to Bill and then ducked.
In his last five games, Nicholson
drove across eight runs on two
homers, three singles and several
belts that were shared against the
wall. His 18th homer against New
York yesterday was 425-foot clout
against the wind.
Up until Monday, the e-time
terror of the leagues mound fra
ternity was batting an anemic 248,
had 10 scattered homers and batted
across rs runs All of which was
extremely small potatoes for a guy
who led the league the last two
years with 80 homers and IL RIBS
in 1914 and with 20 circuit clouts
and 1913 RIBS in 1943

Cecil Travis, Nat inf1elder fresh
out of the Army after three years
and nine months of service, reports
for his initial workout of the sea-
son at Griffith Stadium this after
noon.
He reached Washington late yes
terday with his wife and two chill
dren after a trying automobile trip
from Camp Mcpherson, Ga, where
he was discharged Wednesday.
He said at the ball park he was
too tired to don baseball uniform
for a workout and after brief con-
versation with Clark Griffith, the
Mats president, Travis went to his
now home here for a thorough rest
He has been practicing at bat and
sfield and doing some running to
strengthen his legs for two weeks
at camp and at the ball field of the
Atlanta club, he told Griffith.
Travis looked thinner than when
he left the Mats at the end of the
1941 campaign, something to be ex-
pected after his long military serv-
ice. He saw more than 100 days of
fighting in the European theater
and was in the ArdenneS battle In
the Bulge last winter.
Why hasn't Wally Holborow, re-
serve pitcher who in his only start
of the year hurled a two-hit shutout
against Boston's Red Sox, been
started since? Everybody around
town has inquired. Here's the an
swer. Holborow pitched that SPAR
king game on August 4, just before
the Mats began their final Western
trip. -Four days later he hurled an
inning of relief in Chicago to yield
two runs. Six days after that he
again relieved in st. Louis to give
one run in two innings and pulled up
with an aching back. The back has
bothered Holborow since, so much
so that no use can be made of him.
Hills Layne has a battered index
finger on his right hand and an
X-ray of the digit was to be made
today. He hurt the finger while
fielding a drive from Bob Johnson's
bat in the first Labor Day game in
Boston 1t became so sore during
the second game here Wednesday
night Layne had to turn the third
base job over to Harlond Cliff
Should the injury keep Layne idle
very long, the Mats attack likely will
suffer. Hills has Teen doing right
well at the plate.

Rams in I est Game 'Tonioht

almost too good last night in brief
workout under the lights at Baldwin
Wallace College. He rather expects
a violent reaction tonight, with
Cleveland supplying most of the
violence.
Sammy Baugh, for instance, punt
ing to row of five receivers
stretched across the field, booted to
each in turn as accurately as though
pitching the ball. The passing and
pass-receiving was superb. Baugh
and Filchock were laying the leather
arm-length above the receivers, who,
in turn, were hauling it down as
easily as picking apples.
But De Groot is wondering how
his rockies will fare against the
more experienced Rams. Jim Wat
son at center, for example; John
Adams and Earl Audet at the tackles
and Zip Hanna at guard, will be
making their professional debuts.
Doug Turley is practically new at
end. He didn't play enough last
season to work up good sweat, and
Wayne Millner, the Grand Old
Man." is making comeback at the
other flank after three years. in
retirement. Marvin Whited is back
in the game after two years absence
and is returning as a guard after
spending all his previous time at
halfback
Plainly, De Groot has cause to
wonder. The only certainty in his
mind is that the Redskins tackling
will not be midseaSon brand. They
haven't had any work in this depart
ment. Their blocking may leave
much to be desired for two scrim-
images with the Cherry Point
Marines and as many more among
themselves is hardly adequate to
sharpen a team.
The Tribes coach also is en-
titled to be curious about the ham
ding of the T, although every
body from water boy to the sports
writing experts say the team looks
at least 100 per cent improved
over last year. The players think
they have mastered the offense well
enough to give anybody a run for
the marbles, including the Bears.
but tonight will see whether they're
really on the ball or behind it.
Seymour Can't Keep Up.
Bob Seymour didn't miss the boat
this trip, but only because the
Skins haven't used that mode of
travel. He missed the train out
of Washington and last night missed
the bus for Baldwin, Wallace. 1.
Les Dyes folks are here from Wells
vile, N. Y, to see him play for
the first time, although this is his
18th year in football. +. . He played
four years on the local high school
eleven. >. "Vitamin" is alternating
between his regular halfback post
and fullback, although he protests
he doesn't yet know the halfback
assignment. E. De Groot made the
change because "he looks like a
fullback." Jim Barber will re-
turn to the Redskins as assistant
line coach after getting out of the
Navy, probably next year. Joe
Aguirre will kickoff tonight, al
though his feet bothered him in
training. 1t is reported, but
not officially confirmed, that Larry
Fuller will be dropped when The
squad moves on to Chicago tomor-
row. Every time the Redskins
hire taxi here they ride in :.
Mcbride cab, and thus contribute
to the fund that will be used 10

known way. We had the spit ball. the emery ball,
the fuzzed-up ball-a ball that would do lot of
