Root was too much of a good thing in those days, and he was sadly overworked the next three years. Given the rest he required in 1933 #nd 1934, he blossomed out this year in his old form, much to the delight »f all concerned with the pennant aspirations of the Cubs. Equally as gratifying has been the performance of Bill Lee in his second year with the Cubs. Young- lest in point of service, he pos- sesses, in Hartnett's opinion, one of the best curves in the game. His |fast “ball and control have stood the test of bigtime competition, and in any engagement, he will be as valuable as the next. ,jof all “Polar Star” Is Reviewed Novel Wntten by Dr. H.
