MITCHELL

REFUSES TO GET EXCITE!

By JACK VEXOCK (X. N. Service Sport Editor.) NEW YORK. July 19. Tho champion Cubs have not Riven up hope of repeating. They are (join to give the Giants and Reds a battle to tho finish for the Pennant, acordlng to Fred Mitchell, their two-fisted manaser. Their race Is an tight as a drum and the season is only half over." said Mitchell today. "As far as I can see it's anybody's pennant and I am confident that the Cubs may be heard from. We're due to make a strong finish. Wo have a lot of games to play at home ind wo will flnsh on our own grounds. "If It hadn't teen for Charley Hollocher's broken thumb we would have dona much better to date., Hollocher was out of the game for a month and I attribute the loss of a good many games to his absence from the line-up. Kllilfer's Injury and absence from the

game hurt us too. but both players are j

back now and we have our full strength. "George Tyler is the only member of the pitching staff who Is not going good now. Alexander looked mighty good In Boston the other diy and I think he'll win many a game from now on. Prior to last week he wasn't right. He. hurt his arm in the last game of the New York series at Chicago. "I can't account for the fact the Cubs aren't hitting as well as they did last year. You never can explain those things. Deal, for instryice, was the weakest hitter we had last season. This year he Is hittig harder than anybody, i "Our club isn't as strong as the Giants and Reds with the bats but we have superior pitching and I think this wfll be demonstrated from now on." Michell added that the Giants have, been the hardest club for the Cubs to beat, 'in fact Chicago has won only one gume from New York this season, while the Giants have beaten the Cubs Ifht times. Against the Reds Mitchell's club has held its own. winning s.ix and losing six games against Cincinnati. "We're duo to pick up." concluded Mitchell. "Tli rlayers are full of fight.

They refuse to admit that anybody has the edge on them and they'll have to be shown. I feel rure that we will be In there battling thtm all at the finish. I'm not predicting that we'll win the pennant because it will be an uphill fight, but the club that beats us out will konw that it has been in a pennant race."

ning s return to the local club. It will bo a real treat to see pete back on tho mound, as It has been over a year and a half since he pitched his last g.ime for the Hammond team. Reports from Crown Point say that Ilep.r.tng Is working out daily and from present Indications ho will be back In old time form.

Nstrengthen the batting order as Nagel

Plans to use him on first base when he is not working on the slab. This looks like a good move and the arrangement is sure to have the hearty approval of the fans ts they all know Hennlng's reputation as a clouter. Many Is th game that he salted away for Hammond with his trusty old war club. As a hitter Pete is a man who can usually be relied upon in a pinch ns he is liable to step up there at any time and win his own game with a healthy wallop. Aside from all his other good Qualities Pete is i dandy good fellow extremely popular ith ill the fans and in signing him to a contract Manager Nagel sure made no mistake. With Dave Wallace as a battery mate to Henning, Hammond should

! have one of the best combinations in

Chicago semi-pro circles. Dave Black. Pete's old rival, will do the mound work for the Romoes and Jack Rabbit Walsh will take care of the receiving end.
