By George Kirksey (UP S(atf Correspondent) New York. Apr. 15.- (U.K) The Chicago Cubs will win the National league pennant in a ding dong, hair raising race that will make some of the close finishes of the past resemble runaways. Five teams have pennant possl bilities — Chicago. New York. St. i Louis, Pittsburgh, an dCincinnati. They all may be breathing on each 11 other's necks in late August or September. They're so evenly baldanced the loss of one key man by any of them will be disastrous. ; The other three clubsg- Brooklyn, i Boston, and Philadelphia can be counted out of the race. The Cubs will win because: 1. Rip Collins will prove a lefthander can hit in Wrigley Field and add the extra base power lack- , ing last year. 2. Phil Cavarretta. converted first baseman. will be a sensation I in center field. 3. Augie Galan, back in left field again, will stage a eomebacK. 4.
