AVING torn Ebbets Field up by the roots and run the Dodgers to their hiding places, the Cubs, eroasing the hridge for 3 change, are upon our Gianta to-day, Variety is always welcome in some quartera, but among the Giants last night there was an intimation that they had just as goon stick to a steady diet and have the Reds to pick on for the rest of the eummer. This coming of the Cubs brings! with its memories of 1908 and 1909, for it is the firat time etnce those good old days of Tinker, Evers and Chance that auch a visit really sounded a call to arms. For two years now the Cubs have been nothing more than a ball club visiting our leading citios from day to day, But In this good year of 1916 things are different.
