Now we have Root and Blake and Bush all going well and there is every Teason expect that Malone will be in form the next time he starts. With those pitchers doing their stuff as they are capable of doing, it only is necessary for the rest of us to do our stuff with the bat and we'll win.

Bundled in blankets, Mrs. McCarthy cheered lustily from her box when the Cubs took the lead in the sixth inning. “Don’t worry about my cold, and don't worry about my 1! tism,” Mrs. McCarthy told her son before the game.

PINCH-HIT HOME RUN EVENS COAST SERIES By the Assoclated Press, LOS ANGELES, October 12.—A pitch- b ers’ battle was forecast today for the fifth game between Hollywood and the San Francisco Missions in the Coast League split season play-off. The series was tied at two games all yesterday by a tenth-inning home run off the bat of Frank Shellenback, pinch-hitting Holly- wood twirler. The Stars won, 4 to 3. Shellenback, who won Thursday's game for the Stars on the mound, or Hank Hulvey, who was credited with yésterday’s win, were likely choices of Oscar Vitt.

Holding an of 4 games to 3, Manager Zvlflll.ng of Kansas Clly lanned to send his ace right-hander, 'om Sheehan, former major leaguer, to the mount in an effort to clinch the nine-game series. Billy Southworth, Rochester pilot, is counting on Tex Carleton, snother crack right-hander, to tie the series n four victories all, thus necessitating the playing of the ninth game at Rochester Sunday. Carleton and Sheehan each has won two games. The players’ share of re- ceipts for the first five games aggre- gated $93,000. Each member of the winning team will receive about $1,600 and of the losing team $1,100.

Neither can the close ob- servers say that the Cubs’ boss has committed any mana mistakes. Rather he has the maximum out of every possible clrcumatmee. By pitching Bush in the third game he has possibly held back the Spartan- geared Root who twirled so nobly on the opening day. I believe I can put my finger on the cause for the unusual number of strike- outs that have resulted so far in the series. First, recall that Earnshaw sent 10 more Cubs back to the bench for the reluctant drink of water.
