Ghieago Wins Twin Bill From Gineinnati

(By The Canadian Press)

Following their usual procedure whenever Chicago Cubs comes to town. the Rods rolled over and played dead Thursday and the Cubs climbed over them twice in a recordswrecking spree that brought Jolly Cholly Grimm's Grizzlies within two games of the National League pennant.

ington w ness at the old .

But in Andy Paiho. Chicago Cubs have a 24-year-old hired hand who brings tears oi pure joy to the worried eyes of Mane er Jolly (molly Grimm. He supp led the winning hit in two of the Cubs’ recent infrequent decisions over the Cards day before esterday.

Ra's hitting a healt y .302 Just now and has 100 runs batted in. The fact he's committed only two errors in taking 3'11 chances this year, is suflicient evidence to indi- cate the old sogliomore inx hasn't put its hooks to Han Andy.

it is especially fortune for the Cubs that he's around st now. for Bill Nicholson is ha g prob- ably the worst batting year of his career, with a .240 average. al- though his 13 homers. 8'1 runs bat- ted in and 27 doubles put him well up amon the reap ‘ “ swatters.

Along with Paflro, about the only guys among the possible world series regulars who can be cleared in the "young outfielder" set are Red Schoendienst of St. Louis and Washington's George (No Sun-Glasses) Binks. Schoendienst never played the outfield before this spring, He's a shortstop which meant he would have had to take Marty Marion's lob away. Since this could be compared to taking samples away from the mint, he was reconverted.
