Charlie Hoot. - tarting his tenth season as a member of the Cubs' ’ pitching staff, describes the pres- ’ • nt team as the best he has ever j placed on, and that Include* the ! pennant-winning combinations of : 1929 and 1932. "This team has more spirit and hustle than the 1929 team which won the pennant by a big margin" ' said Roof.

The tubs have 149 games yet, I to play and can't be conceded the I pennant on the basis of winning 1 five straight games, but the man-1 ; ner in which they won them seems Ito definitely establish them as serious contenders for the Giants' i laurels. Any club with four pitchers who I can go the route as did Lon War ! n« ke. Guy Bush. Pat Malone and , Charlie Root, and hitlers like i Klein. Staintuck.

UNDER the Len-o-Meter plan, you can equip your home at once with Leonard Electric refrigeration — and not go beyond your present household budget Fifteen cents a day, dropped into a simple coin-operated device, brings you this wonderful modem service and buys the refrigerator at the same time. You don’t have to make a down payment; nor meet a contract payment every month. And you won’t have a Leonard long before you find, as hundreds of women have, that it is actually paying for itself by saving food you now have to throw out—by making it possible for you to buy in money-saving quantities.
