Cubs al the Polo GroanM
The Chicago Cubs are due to
open a series at the Polo Ground!
today with their foremost rival* of
the eastern sector, the New York
Giant*.
Despite the slow start miffered
by Jrtwi McGraw’s club, a major-
ity of the critics still rate these
same Giants as the most fromida-
ble rivals of the Cubs In the en-
tire circuit, ;-
It is a little early yet to consid-
er any series in any way decisive,
but this first test of strength be-
tween Chicago and New York is
going to mean a great deal.
If the Giants can swat the invad-
ers three or four times in a row,
| they will be in the happy position
of having an Indian sign on the
Cubs fqr the rest of the season. If

He knows the rules but is taking

You can lift loose or dead limbs,

Here's the ruling; "If a ball lies
in bent bushes, long grass or the

whose home run with two men on
base in the sixth inning at St.
Louts, counted what proved to bi
the winning runs and enabled the

another 24 hours

Getting a Heart
AFTER the first series between
the Yankees and the Atbletle*
there are any number of experts
who think more highly of Connie
Mack's chances to win than they
did when they looked over the
clubs In the southern training rec-
tor, Some opinions that the Ath-
letics were without courage In *
tight spot are being revised.
Already the A's have won half
as many games from the Yankee*
ai they did through the entire
course of the 1928 season and
young Henry Johnson hasn't been
abl* to handle them a* he did last
year. Every time Johnson went
out to pitch for the Yankees last
season the Athletic* were litkeiL
from the start and It was his par- r*
titular talent for knocking off4he
nearest rivals of his club that
kept him on the Yankee payroll.
Giant* Couldn't Get Away
'T'HE reformation of the spirit of
4 Mack's club and the failure of
the Giants to get started have
been two interesting feature* of
the early season.
John McGraw, In San Antonio, I Robins And the Giant* did not
made no secret of the fact that he
was depending a whole lot on get-
ting the jump at the start. He
wanted a good lead before hh had
to meet the strong western club*.

should come from the western
clubs." he said. "I do not con-
side- the eastern clubs as easy
marks, but they ought to be
