By EARL R. WALSH Bnuiue TO war OAMX noil HXBKOV UUP B Th« came was plenty rai defense on both teams fell apart, 12 ACK in the dim and far stray u Mason of 1876, Chicago won the lint Natyooal league pennant under the leadership of Albert G. Spalding. Today in the 7tth campaign of the older league, Chicago's Cubs are beading for another pennant with the Cardinals still in hot pursuit. As tiie count stands at this moment Chicago and New York are tied with 19 National league pennants each and if .the Cuba win this year, they will have a one pennant lead over their closest all-time rival from Manhattan. After Albert Spalding won in 1876, Cap Anson won three in a row in 1880, 1881 and 1882, and the alugging Clip repeated again in 1885 and 1886. Old Cap was ane of the most interesting characters I ever knew In base- Mi. He was a great hitter far close to 25 years. After the Anson cleanup, the Cubs took a ditsy Charley Grimm f«* the next 19 years until Frank X. Chance, Ike Peerless Leader, arrived on the scene in 1906 to win four pennants In five years against his famous rival, John J. McGraw. McGraw won 10 of New York's IS pennants, but even his aggressive leadership was not quite enough to catch up with the Cubs. Outside of the Cubs and Giants, of the 69 pennants already delivered, Boston has 9, St. Louis 8, Pittsburgh 6, Brooklyn 5 and Philadelphia lays dalin to her one and only flag which Alexander's pitching brought about 30 years ago. It has been stated, unofficially, that the Phillies will not win the pennant this season. But we have an idea that under her new owner there will be a change for the better later on. Grimm's Victories > Returning to the leadttf Cufcsr and Chicago's long pennant sue- Cfss, it was Charley Grimm who won for Chicago in 1932 and 1935, using a number of pretty good ball players for this purpose. Now the cheerful Cub leader - has a shot at his third flag, a dream that only the Cardinals can turn into a nightmare. And I don't believe they can with the edge in pitching the Cubs carry. In losing such ball players as the Cooper brothers, Stan Musial and Max Lanier, from last season's squad, the Red Birds apparently have lost more than they could afford. In spite of these heavy blows, Billy Southworth has turned in one of his best jobs, a statement to Which the Dodgers can testify. Southworth's best chance is the 12 games his Cardinals have left with fhe Cubs. There may be a wide gap between tlie Cubs of 1945 and the 1966-191# . teams. That Chance oattt was one of the greatest baseball has ever known. It had one of the game's smartest catchers la Johnny Kling. It had a strong pitching staff headed . fey Miner Brown and Ed Realbach. And It had "Tinker to Evers to Chance," pins StelnfMdt at third. It also had sach workmen as Seheekard, Batman, Slafle and Schnlte In the eatSaM. This dab waa goad eneagh to seta National leagae * record for a scasms total --116 vie- , tories. ?T~ This 1945 round-up is no 1906 brand. w But it is a pretty good ball-dub for r V these war years. Abpve all else it lias the most consistent pitching . Staff in either league. When Charley Grimm calls on a starting pitcher, -#ie odds are he will have ope who •an finish or at least pitch well. Two Best Basemen In Hack at third and Cavarretta it first the Cubs have two of the fcest now left' from either league, fctan Hack has been a badly understated ball player for several years. 4|le has been one of the best, pre- %ar or through the war. Phil Cav- " arretta has been one of the most improved players of 1945. A good outfield headed by Bill Nicholsott has given Grimm a solid phalanx Compared to so many other teams who have had few dependable workmen. After a straggling start, the Giants tmd the*Dodgers out-in front, the -Cubs hit their stride in early June 2 fand have had no bad spots since. ^Through June and July they had ev- ' crything it takes against the opposition offered, which wasn't any too wjhot. But above all, in Passeau, Wyse, Derringer and others they . had better pitching than any other < club in their league could show. As the two leagues are today, anything can still happen with several " --weeks of play left. But there are .only the Cardinals to threaten the Cubs, and outside of Washington's ^HSenatora 1 can't sec any other American league team threatening t anybody. Whatever happens, the Clark Griffith -- Ossie Bluege delegation -'lounging in the shadow of the Washington monument have been the surprise team of the year. They have proved again what pretty good pitching can 4* for any penrant cause.

A state treasurer will be chosen by the voters for a two-year term at the regular election the following November.

To this fact is attributed a major catastrophe to American agiiculture--the introduction of the European corn-borer. "The cornborer, gaining ita first foothold in northeastern United States, is believed to have reached America's Shores in 1908 or 1909 in baled European broomcorn. The enormous damage it had caused to the corn crop within a few short years caused a revolution in quarantine and fumigation requirements for imported plant material.

Hebron came to town with only eight players so they borrowed Sonny Miller's young brother, Bobby, to play right field. Bobby got a hit, made a couple of nice catches and had a lot of fbn with his big brother.
