CUBS COMMENCE CRUCIAL SERIES New York. Auk. 14. — (U.R) — Fortified behind an game lead the Chicago Cubs moved Into the metropoll tan area today for eight important ; games against the Brooklyn obins and | New York Giants, opening at Ebbets Field today and closing at the Polo Grounds a week from today. If the National League leaders get by these two series in good shape (an even break will do), there'll be no stopping them until they get inside the same park with the Philadelphia Athletics. Then—but that's another story. For the present the Cubs look as good as in. but taking a leaf out of last year's baseball history, it was Just about this time when the little Bears started to blow and when the Cubs blow they blow. Since Joe McCarthy became manager of the Cubs, his teams have always finished poorly, principally because he overworked his pitchers during mitl-season. The Cubs have been travelling at a terrific pace during the last month and are due for a let-down soon. They have won 25 out of their last .10 games, coming from three games behind the league-leading Pirates to BL4 games in front of Donie Bushs , staggering crew. Even if a slump should hit the Cubs ' it may not alter the National League race as neither the Pirates nor Giants have shown any of the earmarks of pennant contenders during the last month. Injuries to Pie Traynor and Burleigh Grimes virtually crushed the Pirates’ pennant hopes. Grimes still is out of the game. Istsing a .375 hitter and a pitcher ( Who has won 16 games and lost onlytwo is enough to take the heart out of nearly any team, but the case of the Giants is simply the story ot’wasted opportunities. The Giants have had their injuries which is a good enough ! alrbi. but the truth of the matter is McGraw’s 1929 team is far short of of the fearless, fighting teams which have made National League history. Brooklyn has helped to ruin the pennant hopes of two contenders — the Giants and Pirates —and it is now ( up to the Robins to see what they can
