MITCHELL ROUSES UP CUBS

New Manager Has More Than Fulfilled Expectations With Chicago National League Team. Manager Mitchell has more than fulfilled the expectations. The club he took under his wing was not considered of first-division rank. Yet he has so roused things up that the Cubs

have forced themselves in said rank. Whether Mitch can keep the pitchers working at top speed and the players’ ambish so keen and forceful is a matter that time alone can settle. However, the new manager has at any rate demonstrated that with any kind of breaks he can make things lively from “play ball” to finish.
