OLD CUB MACHINE IS BROKEN

Frank Schulte Is Only Member of Team That Thrilled Thousands With Wonderful, Plays.

(By FRANK G. MENKE.)

The old Cub machine, once the mightiest in baseball, has been broken, never again to be mended. Of the grand old gang that thrilled thousands with their wonderful team work in the old days, while working under the Cub standard, only one still wears the Cub uniform, and he, Frank Schulte, Is slipping fast. Chance, Tinker and Evers, that wonderful double-play combination, is scattered in three different leagues, Chance managing the New York Yan-

kees and Tinker is holding a like job for the Chicago Feds, while Evers is cavorting around the keystone sack for the Boston Nationals. Miner Brown is managing the St. Louis Feds, Jack Pfeister Is farming in Qhio, Overall is on the coast in semi-retirement, and Johnny Kling has quit the game for all time. Jimmy Scheckard is in the American association. Artie Hofman is with the Feds, and Jimmy Slagle and Steinfeldt have passed out of the game forever.
