PITCHING - Baseball's
biggest mystery, perhaps is
how the Chicago Cubs have
contrived to finish in the
National Leagues second d.
vision for l6 straight seasons
and almost certainly are des-
tined to make 1t II. Even
taking into account the un-
matchable chaos which has
resulted from Owner Phil
Wrigley's policy Of no man
ager but mucho coaches, 1t
would seem that the Cubs
penchant for coming up an
nually with good youngsters
would surmount even the
most rudderless situation.
On paper, the pitching
suggests better than a ninth
place finish. especially after

the Cubs obtained Larry
