CHICAGO ANXIOUS TO WIN EVEN 100 GAMES FOR YEAR Hornsby Hopes For 7th Straight Nat Bat Honors; Wilson Tries For Homer Record; Both Refuse Rest. CHICAGO, Sept. Cubs are in but several desires remain to bo satisfied before the closing of the National League season.

Apparently on the way out tho slump that caused them to drop thvee games in a row just when they wanted most to win, Joe McCarthy's club is 1 aiming at an even 100 victories tor the season. To accomplish the job, Chicago must win six out of its remaining nine confests. Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson have refused to talcs a lew days of rest, hoping to win individual titles. Hornsby figures he still has a chance to win his seventh National league batting championship, and is certain he has a chance ol winning the home run title, although he is. two homers behind Wilson, Ott and Chuck Klein, who are tied at 39, Wilson is gunning lor the home run ehampionshi- and says he will keep playing until the matter Is settled.

With promise ol a strong line his chief hope as the practice season starts, Coach "Bill" Carberry this week "set about to solve the problem ol his end positions and to plug up holes in the backfield oC the Southern Normal 'dialers. As there are only nine old men back this fall, the prospects were described as "hardly normal," face of a heavy schedule. The veterans, however, include such stars as Laur and BcHany, both all-conference men: Williams, the Raines brothers, SonnenCeld, Hennan, Schunck and.

Holland. Prospects for 'a line were given as "fairly good." Belfany has been shifted to guard; Williams is at tackle on one side, and Kcssler and Raines are holding down the other side, witli Schunck at center. This arrangement points to a strong line. The end positions offer a problem to the Pointer mentor.

HenrgLItoreD C'liieagn's Problem The decline in athletic prowess at the University of Chicago during the last live years has afforded an interesting study. Steadily tho shield of Coach Stags has been losing its impregnability. Some are inclined to blame it on l.igher scholastic requirements that cater more to the lads with the bulging brows than to tho big-chested fellows: Otbsrs say Stagg, after 37 years ot producing football teams, is growing old. Still others assert football strength ebbs and flows like a tide, and right now the tide at Chicago is on the ebb.

3 )-- This threatened widespread shaken in big league managerial ranks may find some more of these minor league pilots in 'line for a big time job. One or two of them already have talked with major loop magnates eager to try out fresh material. Jakie Atz has been approached by the White Sox and Marty Berghammer has been felt out by the Browns. Dutch Z-willing whose Kansas City Blues have put tbe field far behind them in the American association stands out as a good prospect, either as manager or as coach. Atz did wonders with- his Fort Worth team tb'at copped pennant after pennant in the Texas league.

Berghammer took an ordinary outfit at Tulsa, in the Western league, and ran away from the field, a showing that brought him a promotion from the Tulsa farm of the Browns to the Milwaukee club in which Phil Ball is Interested.

"Our requirements here are no higher than those ot the big schools in the east. Students get In here who couldn't get into Princeton. We play Princeton this year, and I understand we are to be beaten.

II scholarship requirements arc the gauge, -we should beat Princeton, shouldn't -we? So there must be something more to it than that." Stag's Fifteen Men In the meantime, out on the football field. Mr. Stagg goes about the business of producing his 3Sth annual football team without much prospect for having what the boys call a wow." The Old Man of the Midway faces a marked lack reserve mater- 1. Because of scholastic requirements, Stagg, one ot the pioneers in developing the modern notion of a football team that uses three sets ot men for a game, will have few players available. "I will be r-'-le to depend upon iav- ing only about 15 men a'nd I will concentrate on these players;" he says.

There are only a few veterans, and no previous indications of brilliance. "01 course, the new men will display helpful enthusiasm because there is a chance for almost anyone to make this team. That enthusiasm must go a long way to make up lor skill and experience." The picture of the veteran Stagg trying to cast a football machine out ot 15 men must be a sad one for the Maroon, alumni to look upon.

The success of Joe McCarthy who stepped up from a minor league post to show how some the big shots of the majors just how a second division club could be made into a. consistent contender has brought added prestige to the leading pilots outside of the select circle. With the Browns, Cardinals, White Sox, Cincinnati, Robins and Pirates apparently in field for new lead- in 1930 it appears likely that the brand of leadership that has brought results in, the smaller circuits ma- get a. tryout in Commissioner Landis' domain next season.
