Show Z g new york post service cubs giants feud fetid tale of diamonds sharpest pest rivalry rivah y T THE HE dogged fight between the cubs and giants for the national league pennant this year is reminiscent ini scent 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 bitten giants of the youthful bus riding a brick tossed way from hotel to ball park to defend the baseball honor of the nations largest city there are memories of lantern ja jawed wed little johnny evers thick muscled frank chance shouting bitter taunts at fans tight packed within old wooden grandstands pages could be written about other never to be forgotten incidents of far off afternoons of happy years when the giants merely knocked off the dodgers then Super bas 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 heat waved 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 plumpish white haired upholder of the law their heirs the terrys grimms hartnette Hart hubbells Hub bells and Dern demardes De marees arees of today seldom permit feelings to flow as violently for the sake of a mere ball game yet there is a grim 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 ot of them for this limited space to this story which practically writes itself yet as might have been mentioned at the start I 1 have been sitting here thinking about something else about rogers hornsby in in fact ten years ago lacking only a month he led the giants on a surging og 11 0 victory adorned trip X through the west still a great second baseman and hitter the man who had won st louis first pennant a season previously he substituted fo for r the ailing mcgraw as niana manager 9 er and almost baroug brought ht another flag hornsby 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 just taken charge of the cubs was 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 fart fan warming feud cud the mancho man who might have man ged aged either of them wanders around in i the prime of his forty one years out of a job NOT IN THE BOX SCORE THOSE I
