Sullivan denies he contemplates going back to the ring. Squirrel Finnerty, demon box fight er 20 years ago, threatens to try a comeback. Boy, page Peter Maher!

CUBS AND SOX HAVE LOWER BERTHS AND-REST QUIETLY By Mark Shields Like the Republican convention, the National league furnishes a knot ty problem to a guy trying to pick the nominee, but it is fair to assume that our favorite son in neither event will land in the money.

There is more room at the top than at the bottom. A few homely mottoes like that are about all the consolation we have left For file North Siders are not playing alert and bright basebalL Theiibaserunning is still something to wonder at, and the pitchers are yet very uncertain gentlemen, who are more likely to be a liability than an asset As the team travels east it seems that Mulligan wiU' once more be seen at short, playing the position in the second game yesterday against the Cards after Mike Doolan had made a couple of costly wild throws in the first battle. The Cubs will never be a winning combination until the right duo is found for the' keystone sack and allowed to work there until the defense is improved.
