ways feel that llhmkeb unexpected start and victory. was the knockout punch that left the Cubs reeling, a. punch from which the team never recovered and finally took the count. Twenty-six Clio players to strike out in the first two games,,is almost as unexpected a happening as Ehmkeis superlative pitching. The added freaky angle is the fact, that only a. very limited number of strikes have been called. Most oi them have been wild lunsra. in which the bats- man has missed the ball from two to six inches. The Chicago Cubs are a. much bet- ter ball club than they have so far showed in the present series. I am fully aware, also, that Rogers Horns- by, is one oi the game's greatest batters. Yet in the first two games, the great Hornsby has looked as helpless an individual, g5 have the Cubs as a team. It really isn't in the books for the Cubs to continue to look as bad as in the first two starts. It is my thought that the Cubs are pressing. in an effort to live lip to their reputation as sluggers, Hornsby isn't natural and he islrtstepplng into thebal] as is his Guy. ler is so tight, that. at times he seems to lack the strength to get the but around in time.

PHILADIILEIINA, Oct. 10-(8pe- cialJ-With two games on the debit side of the 166881‘. the Chicqgo Cubs hiivO their work cut out for ‘them if they are to remain in the running for the world's championship. The third game is certain to- prove a crucial test of the coinage of the Cubi- . A win meansrenewed hope, while defect will just about spell ‘Isa-star, since it means the Chicago Club must win four straight to over throw the domination of the Ameri- can Ieague that has held sway since 1928. I have witnessed the last 25 series between the two leagues, eith- er ln the role of scribe or umpire

"and "amfrank to say that. I cannot recall a single one that} is dotted with the many freak happenings of the nrst two games,

Possibly I Mn all wrong, but it is my firm opinion that the victory scored by Pitcher Howard Eiunke in the opening game, will prove to be the determining factor in the final resultillis unexpected start against the 01M and‘ the decisive win that followed, due to his complete mas-

tery of ‘the Chicago sluggers, was a hit of psychology on the part of Con- nie puck that wielded a. most de- plremive influence over the spirit of the Dubs. Now that the first game is a matter of history, I must frankly admit that I could scarcely believe myeyes when I saw Ehmke starting to ‘wt-rm up, I felt sure it was some knit of l. hoax. I looked over the i'le_ld to seeif somewhere I could spy Grove or Earnshaw taking a secret wnrmup. Even then, failing to see any one but lfhmke preparing for the opener, the thought came to me that possllly Mack had some one getting ready under the stand,

August 10. Up atseven. had breakfast, and back to the city with Aunty Grace. Before leaving they gave me some presents and £2 to keep me in pocket money. , I went to Aunty Maggi-e, and she and Aunty Lizzie went shopping with me. It was an interesting, anxi- ous time making selection of souv- enirs, but with their advice succeed- ed wonderfully well. They both add- ed to my souvenirs valuable ones of their own. Here I may say I learned something about, how jokes at the expense of the Absrdoniens are man- ufactured and circulated. I bought a pad calendar for 1930 for Dad, con- taining 365 jokes against Aberdoni- ans, one for every day in the year. It was compiled and printed in Dun- dee,» although sold in Aberdeen. I was told there is great rivalry 'bc- tween Aberdeen and Dundee for the distinction of being the third largest city in Scotland, which honor Aber- deen at present enjoys. So when Dundee compiled and published these friendly llbels ciflts rival, the Aber- donians just smiled, and decided to turn an honest penny by selling them to save‘ tourists the trouble and ex- pense of visiting Dundee. We had an early, dinner and then went on e 70- mile motor bu: tour to Peterhead. the‘ centre of the red granite indus- trymnd the principal north-eastem fishing station.

'I‘ile Cubs were outhit 9 to d and Bush was hard pressed most of the way but the battling "Bruins” packed enough punch in their one inning rally to check the wild dash of Connie Macks agile young men. The Athletics still lead by the mar- gin of 2 i0 1, needing two more vic- tories to clinch Macks fourth world's championship. They still are heavy favorites, but if Charley Root can square accounts for the Cubs tomor- row with Lefty Grove Ln the box for the A's, it will be anybodys battle once more. The hometown reception for the hitherto conquering A's was marked by a paid attendance of on- ly 29,921 spectators, the smallest in nine years of world's series play and astonishingly short of the expected figure oi around 38,000 to 40.000.
