CUBS’ MOUND STAFF RIDDLED FOR GIANT SERIES
Bruin Pilot Puzzled - Over Today’s Starter Phillies Wreck Chicago’s Pitching Order; Record Crowds Expected to Witness Series Which May Decide National League Pennant Winner. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—With a pitching staff sorely in need of rest, , aqd under the ever-present strain of setting the pace, the Chicago Cubs prepared today to open a‘four-game series with the New York Giants which may decide the winner of the 1930 National League pennant. After taking three out of four games from the then-leading Brooklyn Robins last week, and snatching the lead from the Flatbush aggregation, the Cubs were jubilant over the fact that their next five scheduled games were with the last-place Philadelphia Phillies, and had looked forward to a mere romp in this series. But their hopes of build- | ing, up a stronger lead at the expense of the Phils was blasted, as was she pitching staff of Manager McCarthy.

Six Yankees, Two Foreign Threats Left in Net Event
Bn United Press FOREST HILLS, N. Y„ Aug. 21. The scene at Forest Hills changes today from one of friendly contests to serious business, from a feminine viewpoint, at least, of determining a successor to Helen Wills Moody. Play has reached the quarterfinal stage in the women’s national tennis singles championship, with six American girls, three from Mrs. Moody’s home state, barring the way to the foreign threat embodied in Betty Nuthall, English star, and the tall, swarthy Baroness Levi of Italy. Miss Nuthall, whose play has been the most impressive to date of any of the contenders for the throne abdicated by Queen Helen, now is favored to win the title. Before she does so, the English girl must conquer little Dorothy Weisel. 17-year-old junior champion of California,

Aug. 21.—Date Knost, East St. Louis <IU.) heavyweight, defeated Joe Lohman of Toledo in ten rounds here Wednesday.
The Cubs won three, lost two and tied two with the Phillies, but the pitchers were manhandled to such an extent by the sluggers from the cast that McCarthy was in a quandary this morning over who to use against the equally hard-hitting New Yorkers in the series opener this afternoon. In Saturday’s double-header, McCarthy was forced to use five pitchers, and then won only one game, the second contest going to a 3-to-3 tie in eleven innings. Bush has i worked nineteen and one-third innings since Saturday, and probably will not be available until the last j . game with New York Sunday. Malone has pitched eleven innings In four days. Root seven innings, Teachout eight innings and Osborn seven and one-third innings. The Gtants have been a hard club for the Cubs to beat this season, even when their pitching staff was working in regular turn and at their best. Just what will happen now that the men have worked out of turn, and occasionally filling the rcles of relief hurlers remains to be seen. All Indications point to a recordbreaking attendance for a four-game series in Chicago. The highest previous record was established last j week, when 129,100 paid admissions were checked in the Brooklyn series.

Ruth and Fans Battle Problem This Season in Naming All-Star Team
Babe Ruth confesses he has a problem this year in selecting a mythical all-major league team and lnake it stand out as the best possible roster of ten pastimers. in more than one department the choice is close. It's a dead cinch most fans competing in The Times Babe Ruth contest, and Ruth himself, will name Lefty Grove as one of the pitchers, but naming the o f ’ presents a puzzle. And how about Terrv, Gehrig and Foxx at first base? Only one can be named. Baseball fans usually are up on the dope’ and seldom miss many positions in competition with Ruth’s ideas, but one fan surprised the Babe Ruth Editor by naming Hornsby in this year's selection despite the fact Rogers has been out of action for a long stretch. In arranging the batting order count the two pitchers as one posi-tion-ninth. Ruth picks his team from both American and National Leagues. Here are the rules: Ten players are selected, two pitchers and the eieht other positions. Do not name the Babe on the team, for he eliminates himself. The contest winner mast not only select the same ten players as Ruth but must assign them to the same nine positions on the team and In the same batting order. Moreover, a short essay or explanatory letter must accompany the names selected—giving reasons for the choice submitted. An explanatory letter of fifty words will be sufficient. If none selects correct team, prises will ro to readers making selections nearest to Ruth's. A player may be placed in a position other than his regular position providing he has occupied the alternate position in one or more games of ' the current season. No plater mav be placed in a position that be has not actually covered this season. Fill out this blank and mail or bring to Times Babe Ruth Editor. Contest closes Aug. 30. POSITION PLAYER CLUB ——
