Feud Tale of Diamonds Sharpest Rivalry Cubs-Giant- s 'THE dogged fight between the Cubs and Giants for the National league pennant this year is reminiscent of bygone days when their feud was a tale of baseballs sharpest and most enduring rivalry. The only difference is that while the competition is just as keen this year, the bitterness is gone. The story of the rivalry of the Cubs and Giants practically writes itself. It stretches far beyond the years of Mike Donlin and the one and only Matty. It embraces other hard-bitte- n Giants of the youthful 1900s a brick tossed way from hotel to ball park to defend the baseball honor of the nations bus-ridi- ng ' largest city. There are memories of lantern-jawe- d little Johnny Evers, thickmuscled Frank Chance, shouting, d hitter taunts at fans within old wooden grandstands. Pages could be written about other incidents of far off afternoons. Of happy years when the Giants merely knocked off the Dodgers (then Superbas) in their stride and saved their best hate and sharpest spikes for Chicago invaders. You showed your colors then. Every man was an enemy and so regarded unless he could display the proper ribbon and could mingle dire insult with high praise in correct proportion. Remember that glowing baseball year of 1908, when feelings were running at their fullest anyhow? Then Chicago baseball writers arrived at the Polo Grounds early on one afternoon to view with bitter astonishment a notice posted upon the press gate. Above the sprawling signature of a man who never hesitated to name his enemies it stated simply and starkly that, .by order of John J. McGraw, no Chicago writers would be permitted to enter the park. Of course that was long ago. McGraw is gone now. Evers is a d upholder of plumpish, the Jaw. Their heirs, the Terrys, Grimms, Hartnetts, Hubbells and Demarees of today, seldom permit feelings to flow as violently for the sake of a mere ball game. Yet there is a grim tensity about present meetings just the same. Truly enough National league pennants have been won most often in recent years by late season spurts, but there is no copyright on the procedure. The same methods by which modern Yankees and Tigers have triumphed in the other circuit could prevail as easily. There are other angles indeed far too many of them for this limited space to this story which practically writes itself. Yet, as might have been mentioned at the start, I have been sitting here thinking about something else. . About Rogers Hornsby in fact. Ten years ago, lacking only a month, he led the Giants on a surging, d trip through the West. Still a great second baseman and hitter, the man who had won St. Louis first pennant a season previously, he substituted for the ailas ing McGraw manager and almost brought andther flag tight-packe- never-to-be-forgott- en heat-wav- ed white-haire- victory-adorne- to New York. That was in 1927. McGraw esteemed Hornsby above all other baseball men at the moment, for the first time in his life was speaking proudly of a successor. Seven years ago we stood for almost two hours talking on a crowded Broadway corner. Hornsby had was just taken charge of the Cubs, making a hustling, fighting team out of a collection of stars who hitherto had looked at life too gayly. And now, while the Cubs and Giants carry on their feud the man who might have managed either of them wanders around in the prime of his forty-on- e years, out of a job. fan-warmi- ng eight-poun- . . .

And, while on the subject, is it true that Long Island is taking their athletic scholarships away from Bender, Ben Kramer, Leo Merson and Red Norton, although they have not yet finished their courses? And could the reason be that the four able youngsters have played their allotted four years of college basketball and room must be made for new talent?
