This is because Mr. Gallagher, current general inismanager of the Chicago Cubs, has ,been awarded the goat's horns for his muddle- ment of the Noyikoff case and the coincidental nose-dive of his rnuch- - favored team ‘into the cellar. .

Mr. Wrigley, who owns the Cubs. was impressed. as well as depress- ed. “You know s0 much." he said in effect. ‘Move in here and do it yourself."

This is what secretly hurts us sportsw-l-iters most. I suppose-that. Gallagher is aflolce.‘

He has a. flair for the ridiculous. without meaning to be funny. latest Gallagher communique - ihat Noyikoff must now "try out" for the last-place Cubs, show he's

bility value. But the fact that Novikofi must perform among five 0r six cloren of Gallagher's girl hoftball homes at Wrigley Field‘, has ncwsrcel possibilities. I

Part that hurts the moot is that Gallagher will always be known as a. sportswriter. l-le ceased to write sports when he began to curdlc the Cubs; but. still be is n. sports- writer. If Gallagher were to nuc- ceed Roosevelt (will anybody EVER. do that?) and become President. he'd probably still be known u a sportswriter. ‘ I
