"Plly all you want to today and tomorrow,” said the big boss, “for you'll have no time to play after your first night of sleep in Biloxi. “There'll be no idling once the train- ing business gets under way.

This is the second of a series of 13 storles on the prospects of the Amevican #na Notional Leapue races written by the managers of the rival clubs. BY JOE MeCAI'l'H', Manager, Chicago Cubs. HEN a manager is fortu- nate enough to win a big league pennant, there isn’t much left for him to do but hope that he will be lucky enough to repeat. Fin- ishing second or worse always leaves room for improvement, and making annual progress in the club standin, always satisfac- tory. However, when you win a pennant there is no other goal to shoot at, and you can only hope to repeat to be as good as you were the year previous, Since the close of the 1929 season I have a number Joo McCarthy. of good reasons for feeling optimistic about the coming campaign and believe that we will again reward the very loyal Cub fans with another pennant. 1 am one of those fellows who doesn’t believe in standing pat.

It has always been my thought that a truly great club should have a star catcher to handle the pitchers and di- which he is now connected, but local nmmuqmmmmwnwwmu is to transfer his activities.
