Ninety per cent of them said that we had wrecked our club and had made the Cubs certain pennant contenders. Every one knows how the swap turned out. The players we re- | ceived proved invaluable to us in our pennaut drive, and the Cubs ex- penemml one of the most dxsastmus seasons in their history.
