The Chicago Cubs resumed their series at Forbes Field with the Pirates this afternoon, hopeful of doing better than in the opener, which they lost decisively. Manager O'Day refused to definitely select his twirler in advance, but hinted that Jim Vaughn, his most dependable hurler, would be on the firing line for the Cubs. It was expected that Manager Clarke would call upon Adams, though he plans to use Herbert Kelly bofore the week is 'over. Costello will continue in right field for the Pirates. The young man from Poughkeepsie made a good impression in his first major league tryout yesterday, demonstrating beyond cavil that he possesses an abundance of nerve, in addition to a lot of ability.

"I believe no team in the National league will win 90 games this season." said President Barney Dreyfuss, of the Pirates, commenting on the statistical story in yesterday's PRESS, dealing with the chances of the Braves and the Giants for the flag. "I have been in baseball a number of years," he continued, "and I never remember a race where the teams were so closely bunched and so evenly matched as this No team stands out pre-eminently. "The pace which they have been setting to date augurs against any one of them winning as many as 90 games. Eighty-five victories may land the flag I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that way." The local club owner refuses to al--low himself "to be quoted on the probable pennant winner, but from remarks which he dropped, it is believed he likes New York's chances better than those of the Braves, though he called attention to the fact that Chicago Is still very much in the running. "It looks as if Boston's pitchers were beginning to show signs of wear and worry," said he.

At present there are in camp l'i candidates for the four backfield positions, and this number will be increased next week by the arrival of "Red" Hastings, who played halfback for Kiski last fall. Those now working out include Heil, DeHart, Ward, Shof, Dillon, Fry, "Williamson, Hanley, Miller, Amnions, McCarter, and the two Morrows "Clif and "Jim." The Morrows, by the way, are not relatives.

In addition, Ptalllnge suddenly uncovered a masked battery in George Davis.

He got three hits, none of the balls he cracked going out of the infield. He showed fine speed in getting to first, and displayed a knowledge of base running seldom shown by a minor leaguer. One of the game's fielding features was Costello's catch of Vic Saler'a long fly near the bleacher in the fourth inning.

McGraw hoped to break the Braves in the series Just completed in Boston. He had planned to crush them, by taking three straight games. Muggsy was confident Mathewson would start the series by' giving the Braves a black eye. He felt sure Tes-reau would follow with a victory and relied on Marquard to deliver the third game. Everybody knows how Mathewson and Marquard fell by the wayside and how the Braves took two out of three games.

McGraw thought he would dispose of the Boston outfit like he did the Cincinnati and Pittsburg teams earlier in the season. The Giants caught the Pirates when they were going at top speed and whaled the life out of them. They ran across the Cincinnati Reds when Herzog's men seemed to be' heading for the flag, and-swatted the daylights out of them. "What man has done, man can do again," -was McGraw's comment before the series. But he forgot that the Braves had been whaling all comers and that what they had done they also were able to do again.

The victory over Kansas City yesterday afternoon gave the locals a new lease on life and they are determined to rout the western crowd again today. It was Manager Oakes' wonderful peg in the ninth that probably saved the day for the locals. His aim was true and Rawllngs, the fleet-footed shortstop, trying to score from second on Gilmore's one-base slam into center, was cut down at the plate by inches; The visitors put up a howl when Umpire McCormick ruled Rawlings out at the plate, but the Gilmore indicator handler was firm. Had Rawlings scored the count wouM have been even, and the enemy might have been returned winners. Adams, who went on the hill at the start for the visitors, had the locals at his mercy for four innings and not a man got near the counting station.
