The addition of Hornsby gives Chicago a "Murderer's Row" of batters comparable to the famed Yankee quartet of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Koenig. The Chicago "Row" contains "Kiki" Cuyler, Hornsby, "Hack" Wilson, Riggs Stephenson. Experts everywhere predict that the Cubs will sweep through the National League. Chicago bettors are already willing to back their team in the 1929 World Series...

In the sixth, New York squeaked in its second run and in the seventh filled the bases with two out. As swart Lazzeri dawdled to the plate, the Cardinals huddled around Pitcher Haines. In the stands an angry growl rose to pandemonium. Manager Hornsby came out of the huddle and shouted towards the distant "bull pen" (where pitchers practice). No one appeared. Fielder Hafey spun on his heel to carry the message, when...
