D ACK in the dim and' far away
u season of 1876, Chicago won the
first National league pennant under
the leadership of Albert G. Spald
ing. Today in the 70th campaign of
the older league, Chicago's Cubs are
heading for another pennant with
the Cardinals still in hot pursuit. As
the count stands at this moment Chi
cago and New York are tied with IS
National league pennants each and
if the Cubs win this year, they will
have a one pennant lead over their
closest all-time rival from Manhat
tan.
After Albert Spalding won in 1876,
Cap Anson won three in a row in
Charley Grimm
low, 1001 ana i?u,
and the . slugging
Cap repeated again
in 1885 and 1886.
Old Cap was one
of the most inter
esting characters I
ever knew In base
ball. Be was a great
hitter for close to 25
years. After the An
son cleanup, the
Cobs took a dizzy
dip for the next 19
years until Frank
l. i/ouct, ma reeriess uucr, ar
rived oil the scene in 1906 to win
fonr pennants In five years against
his famous rival, John J. McGraw.
McGraw won 10 of New York's IS
pennants, but even his aggressive
leadership was not quite enough to
catch up with the Cubs.
Outside of the Cubs and Giants, of
the 69 pennants already delivered,
Boston has 9, St. Louis 8, Pittsburgh
6, Brooklyn 5 and Philadelphia lays
claim to her one and only flag which
Alexander's pitching brought about
30 years ago.
It has been stated, unofficially,
that the Phillies will not win the
pennant this season. But we have
an idea that under her new owner
there will be a change for the better
later on.
Grimm's Victories
Returning to the leading Cubs
and Chicago's long pennant suc
cess, it was Charley Grimm who won
for Chicago in 1932 and 1935, using
a number of pretty good ball play
ers for this purpose.
Now the cheerful Cub leader
has a shot at his third flag, a
dream that only the Cardinals can
turn into a nightmare. And I don't
believe they can with the edge
in pitching the Cubs carry. In los
ing such ball players as the Cooper
brothers, Stan Musial and Max Lan
ier, from last season's squad, the
Red Birds apparently have lost
more than they could afford.
In spite of these heavy blows,
Billy Southworth has turned in one
of his best jobs, a statement to
which the Dodgers can testify.
soutnworth's best chance is the 12
games his Cardinals have left with
the Cubs.
There may be a wide gap between
the Cubs of 1945 and the 1906-1910
teams. That Chance outfit was one
of the greatest baseball has ever
known. It had one of the game's
smartest catchers in Johnny Kling.
It had a strong pitching staff headed
by Miner Brown and Ed Reulbach.
And it had "Tinker to EVers to
Chance," plus Steinfeidt at third.
It also had such workmen as
Scbeckard, Hofman, Slagle and'
Sgholte in the outfield. This club was
good enough to set a National league
record for a season's total ? 116 vic
tories.
This 1945 round-up is no 1906 brand.
But it is a pretty good ball club for
these war years. Above all else it
has the most consistent pitching
staff in either league. When Charley
Grimm calls on a starting pitcher,
the odds are he will have one who
can finish or at least pitch well.
Two Best Basemen
In Hack at third and Cavarretta
at first the Cubs have two of the
best now left from either league.
Stan Hack has been a badly under
rated ball player for several years.
He has been one of the best, pre
war or through the war. Phil Cav
arretta has been one of the most
imnrnuorl r>l ouore a# 1QA1 A
outfield headed by Bill Nicholson has
! given Grimm a solid phalanx cora
: pared to so many other teams who
have had few dependable workmen.
After a straggling start, the Giants
and the Dodgers out in front, the
Cubs hit their stride in early June
and have had no bad spots since.
Through June and July they had ev
erything it takes against the opposi
tion offered, wnich wasn't any too
hot. But above all, in Passeau,
Wyse, Derringer and others they
had better pitching than any other
club in their league could show.
As the two leagues are today, any
thing can still happen with several
weeks of play left. But there are
only the Cardinals to threaten the
Cubs, and outside of Washington's
Senators I can't see any other
American league team threatening
anybody.
Whatever happens, the Clark Grif
fith ? Ossie Bluege delegation
lounging In the shadow of the Wash
ington monument have been the
surprise team of the year. They
have proved again what pretty
good pitching can do for any pen
nant cause.

Cereals cooked with primes,

Cover photographs in folders
with a piece of cellophane pasted
inside the folder. Then when tlie
cellophane gets soiled, slip it out
and replace it with a clean piece.
In this way the photograph is kept
clean.

It is not practical to unravel a
machine-knit sweater with side
seams. Best you can do is treat
it like regular fabric and cut into
small pieces for remaking. If this
is done, seams must be carefully
overcast.

If seams in flour bin or sugar
drawer aren't tightly sealed, pour
melted paraffin over them and
let it harden.
