Its a real race when four teams hare a change to win with slightly more than a month of play. Great plans are being made for the reception of Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion, at Chicago. Contrast the reception with the one he will receive when he steps out of the ring If he fails to retain his title.

Trying to play big league ball, with lineup of mostly miuor league players, was too much for Fletcher and he passed up the job to act as one of the New York Yankee coachesjunder Miller Hug gins. Like 1914 Braves TLETCIIER knows the National League even better than the American, so when I asked him if the Cubs were not a better team than credited, I knew I would get a. wise answer. The Cubs of this year are the Boston Braves of 1914 all over again, he replied. On the whole it is a better club than most people think, although I must admit its line-up isnt impressive.

I would say the two best features of the Cubs are a better than average pitching staff and great spirit. 1 have never seen a National League club play with more fight than the Cubs. You must give Manager McCarthy much credit, for that. Hes a fighter and his players must be the same sort. The Infield is just fair.

The outfield can hit. The team has good catching. However, the two things have kept it in the running is its spirit, and pitching. The Cubs fight for every ball game and are winning a lot by that system that otherwise might Hip away. Should the Cub tcin in the National League, its going to' be a tough team to beat in the tcorhl series.

The spirit that Fletcher describes end good pitching is a winning combination, Telephone your Classified Adi to 18. Dorsett Produce Co. (202 East Street. Iola Phone 70S Cash for Poultry and Eggs VTe will come after poultry. Call ns any time.

Bush Praises. Cubs itrpHERB isnt a star on the ball club.

It doesnt figure to win the pennant. That is what a lot of folks, who know considerable baseball, say when the Chicago Cubs and the National League championship are under discussion. One of the managers of a rival elub, that Is finding it a difficult Job to wrest first place from the Cubs, doesn't agree with what a lot of people think. Here Is what Donie Bush, pilot of the Pittsburg Pirates, has to say: The Cubs have a real ball club. Any one who says the team is lack- Ing In stars is Just trying to kid himself as well as his listeners, provided he has any.

I would call Gabby Hartnett one of the best catchers in the league. Hal Carlson and Charley Root are two of the best pitchers in the majors. The outfield of Webb, Wilson and Stephenson may not be the most graceful trio In the game, but they go get em, and how they can hit. Take It from me, Mr. Grimm is quite a first sacker and this young at shortstop, haa the makings of a real star.

Art Fletcher Knows ANOTHER angle to the Cubs, unquestionably an interesting team because of its insistence in hanging. on as a pennant contender after not being considered in the running, came te me from Art Fletcher. In his playing days. Fletcher was one Of the best shortstops the National League. He starred with a number of McGraws pennant winning clubs at New' York.

Fletcher was capable, aggressive and game. i When his days of stardom came U9M yOOVYOMi LAHARPE AND ITS CITIZENS NIss Mabel Brightly and John Ralston of Elsmore Married Nigel McDonald Entertains Senior Class. LAHARPE, Aug. 29. Miss Mabel A.
