KILL, General Manager Looking Over Chicago Cubs New York, Oct, 2,--It doesn't take more than a quick glance at the figures to realize that the "big punch" of the Cub attack is pos- sessed by the outfield trio of Riggs Stephenson, Kiki Cuyler and Hack Wilson, No one member of the Chicago cast has a thing on the very useful Mr. Aloysius Harry Simmons of the Athletics, who happens to be just about the best all-around out- fielder in baseball, but collective- ly, the Cubs have a distinct edge on their rivals of attack, On de- fense there is little, if anything, to choose, with Simmons and Cuy- ler ranking as the best of the hall hawks, Not since the palmy 'days oi Cobb, Crawford and Veach, the great Detroit trio, has there been any harder outfield group than this Cuyler-Wilson, Stephenson combination, Their batting figure collectively on the basis of the latest unofficial averages is .364, a margin of 18 points over the aggregate mark of .336 for Simmons, "Mule" Haas and "Bing" Miller of the A's, The big three of the Cubs has accounted for 678 of the 952 runs scored by the team, either by crossing the plate personally or driving mates over, Their rivals havef figured in 621 of the 882 runs tallied by the A's, Individually Wilson has the best run-producing record, In fact, the big Chicago dash to the top dated from the time the rotund Hack was shifted to the clean up role, where his faculty for hitting in a pinch could best be capitaliz- ed, Among & number of vital fac- tors in the Cub rise few are more conspicuous than the work of the fleet Cuyler, the league's leading base-stealer, who has enjoyed hm greatest all-around year since he helped the Pirates win the pen- nant in 1925, Stephenson is less spectacular, but the ex-Alabama collegian also has surpassed any- thing previous in his major league career, with a batting mark that is the highest he ever has had in fam company and second only to Horns- by in the Cub lineup, When in- juries kept either Cuyler or Ste- phenson out of the game the Cubs had an able substitute at hand in the speedy Cliff Heathcote, The development of Haas, and the steady work of the veteran Miller contributed much to the tri- umph of the A's. The former's batting fell off toward the close of the season, but when the Mack- men were building up their deel give lead the young centrefielder hit at a sensational elip, Haas hasn't the punch of his rival, Wil gon, but he fis faster and rangler, Miller, 36 years old and five years older than Stephenson, neverthe- less has retained unusual speed as well as a keen batting eye, Canadian Open Champion is Eliminated Maureen Orcutt of White Beeches, N.J., Breaks Par For First Nine Holes by Six Oakland Hills, Birmingham, Mich,, Oct, 2,--8weeping over the trap-sliced Oakland Hills Course with probably the most meteoric round of golf ever carded hy n woman, Maureen Orcutt of White Beeches, N.J,, not only halted the march of Helén Hicks, but took the glory of the initial match-play skirmishes of the women's na- tional championship today, Miss Orcutt gave Old Man Par a merciless threshing on her triumphant round, and her rival just couldn't match it even though she did fall fighting with better than perfect golf, The slender New Jersey miss strode over the first nine holes in 45 strokes, the equal to men's | par, and six strokes better than women's perfect figures, and: then breezed out to end the struggle an the sixteenth green by playing some more super-perfect golf, A Record Round -- It was easily the best round registered in the national event's thirty-three years of play and, because of the reputation of Oak- land Hills, probably a record for the distance for feminine golf. Algo'it was the third straight time she turned the trick of defeatihg Miss Hicks in match play this year, s Most of the favorites, including the defending champion, Glenna Collett, sailed through today's rounds, which were alternately close and lop-sided, One glaring exception, however, was the de- feat of Mrs, Alexa Stirling Fraser of Ottawa, Canada, three times national champion, by a compara- tive unknown, Jeanette Hunter of Pittsburg, Catcliing the former champion far off her game, Miss Hunter blasted out a two-up vie tory, Earlier in the day, Miss Ada MacKenzie of Toronto, Ont,, had bowed before the. superlative play of Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd of Philadelphia, Mrs, Hurd, known as one of the most formidable match players, defeated the C:na- dian star, 4 and 3, Greater control off the tee and an uncanny short game gave the Philadelphia player 'the advantage, She has three national titles to her credit, Montreal Player Loses A similar fate befell Miss Mar- jorie Kirkham of Montreal, Que. She was eliminated from the title hunt by Mrs, Stewart Hanley, "RUS" WIGINTON AND BILL BOU Phi TBEE Two of last year's squad who are with the Blue Devils again, Both are tackling better than ever and we hope to hear of big things from these fellows before the season is very old.

Argonauts had a big crowd out last night, At times players out- numbered the railbirds, and for two hours the squad, divided into two teams, battered away right merrily, Johnny = Johnston and Chet Thomas were the only ab: sentees, and they were granted excuses, Both had offered a blood transfusion late Monday night to save the life of Bruce Henderson, of the junior squad, who was badly Injured in practice, Heavy drill is the order until Friday night, when a light signal practice will be held before the team leaves for Ottawa to meet the capitals, None other than Joe Tubman turned out with the Senators at Ottawa. "Tubble" had definitely and absolutely quit rugby entire- ly, but there he was, Strangely enough, his old side-kick on the backfield, Joe Miller, is now coach of the bytowners, and will issue the necessary instructions to Tub- man, Ottawa mixexd their practice up a bit, For an hour they tackled and ran, and then for another hour mixed it up in a practice game, Two more hard practices should put them in the 'pink' for Saturday's tussle, Tigers roared in Hamilton last night, Coach Mike Rodden had the Jungle Kings working out hard, and they certainly hopped when he cracked the lash, Line play after line play went across, and when Mike called a halt it was with the unanimous approval of the striped clan, Ray Boadway sat in the driver's seat, familiarizing him- self with Ken Walker's duties in case anything should happen to the regular quarter Saturday, A sorub line, composed of stalwarts from the Cubs and subs from the big team, could not stop the regu- lars when they started to ham- mer at the line, and all in all, the junglers performed above aver. age, M.A.A. A, received a tough blow last night when it was learned that Cliff Howard would be defi- nitely out of the game for some weeks with a painful internal mal- ady, and then, to make it worse, Red Archibald's "game leg" played him false and put him out of ac- tion, The team had been tackling the dummy vigorously, and when EERO >- BY "DOPESTER At 18st we can tell you definite- iy that there will be a game here Saturday, The fast St, Cathar- ines team will oppose the local Blue Devils, and a real struggle should ensue, LL St. Catharines have built their machine around the redoubtable "Porky" Perts, Perts is a sensu tional and vefsatile athlete, Last season he teamed up with Niagara Falls and was dangerous at all times. Local lacrosse enthusiasts will also remember him as playing on the home for Bt, Kitts seniors the past two seasons, St, Kitts also have a few Ridley graduates who will greatly strengthen thelr club, Taking it all around, the loca club feel they have a tough pro. position . to deal with, Let's hope they come through, Guelph will hold down the other berth in the three cornered loop, They have drawn players from (alt and Stratford, Doubtless they will be real contenders for group honors.
