GIANTS DON'T NEED BIG LEAD Brooklyn’s Showing Against Champions Disappointing, By HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, June 6,—(United Press.)—Faith in his own judgment and the support of his wealthy boss has enabled Bill Killifer to build up the Chicago Cubs into one of the most promising clubs in the tlonal league. ~ Owned by’ Wimam Wrigley, multimillionaire gum man, the the Cubs have more money behind them than any other club in the major ieagues, but Killifer has refused consistently to call upon his em- ployer for anything more than the payroll. It was reported last winter that the Cubs had offered the Cards a huge sum of money for Rogers Hornsby, but it was reported later that if the offer had been made it was not with serious Intention. Soon after he had taken the man- agement ofthe team, Killifer told his friends that he would not try to buy a pennant-winning club and that he intended to build up a young team that would last for a long time. The Cub manager has justified the confidence that his employer placed in him, and he has vindicated himself by bringing out this year a team that has been one of the big surprises of the year. John McGraw saiti the Cubs were the best team he had seen this sea- son anf he said they looked more By JOHN B. FOSTER. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, June 6.—But for the intrusion of the Chicago Cubs into the first division, the 1924 race in the National league might be almost a-replica of the race of 1923. The Glants have not won quite as many games as they did last year, but they don’t need them if the other clubs do no better than they have been doing. Brooklyn,. for’ instance, has_ lost h to know there names is Rowland and Discos and Connolly r) nt tension. Finely they was a coi teber ant on nd he Hae wom right over 2 s he had of stayed out of baseball another yr. KILLIFER BRINGING THE CUBS ALONG FAST nine games to New York and_won only two since the season began. Last year at this date, Brooklyn had won 23 games and lost 19.. To Gate, they have won 21 and lost 19. The Cubs, up in second place, are about five and a half games ahead of thelr last year's record, with a total of 25 won and 18 lost. Cincinnati's record is almost identical with last year's, that club having lost. the ground it gained promising than the Reds or the Pirates. McGraw’s name is always asso- ciated with any conversation about buying pennants, as he is held as the chief’ offender in baseball, if there, is any offense in buying star players. ‘The Giant manager, however, 1s taking a hand now at developing his own players. Practically all of 4 WELL, ‘ACK, OLO BOY, A) You CERTAINLY. PITCHED aNice dame ¥ 1m them something stronger Jack Keefe prospects—Lou Gehrig, a first base- man, and Combs, an oufielder. Ward is a young ball player, but Pipp and Scott are beyond their prime, and Dugan {s no youngster. The Yanks are in a bad fix now for re- serves, and if they have the mis- fortune to run into some accidents, Miller Huggins would be up against it, badly. Col. Jake Ruppert became the owner of a world’s champion club by the free use of his checkbook, but he will need more than cash when it comes to rebuilding the team. “There ‘are no bargain coun- ters in the league since Harry Frazee disposed of his holdings in the Boston Red Sox. ‘The improvement that was worked in the Red Sox this year by Bobby Quinn and Lee Fohl, showed that it dees not require a lot of money to make a good ball club.. With a couple of smart trades the Sox were converted from a last-place ciub to the sensation of the early season. Their success went to prove that Wiiliam Baker, owner of the Phila. deiphia Nationals, is wrong when he weeps that everyone is against him and that he can't fix up his @lub eee It was shown this year also in the case of the Brooklyn Robins that a little hustle and a serious effort are as good as cash, The Robins were a sorry looking »utiit until Wilbert Robinson put over the doa} with the St. Lonis Cards for M.:ton Stock. The Robins have had an infield weakness for three years, and they wrie carcied aloug by a three-sta; pitching staff. Sturk made the infleld and turned the club into a first-division prospect. Luck {s a big factor, of course, in rebuilding. a club. The late Pat Moran had a lot of good fortune in finding new players when he tore the major league club owners are prosperous now,’ and they are not inclined ‘to.sell players. This was shown conclusively by the frequence with which the owners of the St. Louis Cardinals have laughed off offers of a small fortune for Hornsby. Under tho conditions it might be argued that McGraw has been forced to build instead of buy- ing the ready-made articles. McGraw has been successful largely becduse he kept the future uppermost in his mind. He has made over his club a dozen times, and he never has allowed it to go to seed. early in the season, when it looked as if Cincinnati was going to be the challenger of the Giants. The Pittsburgh club is crawling up a trifle, but the remainder of the league is plodding along at the same old humdrum pace and there {s nothing but the remotest. possi- bility that the other clubs will do any better the rest of the season. There is nothing about the St. Louis, Philadelphia and Boston clubs to warrant a prediction of speeding up. ‘The showing of Brooklyn against the Glants ts bitterly disappointing at this stage of the race. A team with the pitchers possessed by Brooklyn may legitimately be fig- ured on to hold the leaders where other teams fail, but the Brooklyn pitchers are as straws against New York. No matter from what team they come, as soon as they have hibernated in Brooklyn a while, they turn up their toes when they are asked to face the, Giants. eee Some New. Yorkers are getting alarmed about the future prospects of the champion Yankees, and it must be admitted that there are grounds for concern. The Yanks are an old ball club now. It is quite certain that the team cannot hold together more than two more seasons, if that long, and there are no steps being made to meet the situation. The Standings National League. Club W.

Connie Mack has had luck break- ing juat the other way for him. He tried to build, and then tried to buy, and failed at both. He spent a lot of money last winter and became so enthusiastic over his prospects that he predicted he would win second place this year and the pennant next year.
