Steele previously had ; stopped the

As soon as Klkl cuyler smashed
one of Steve Swetonic's curves for a
triple with the bases loaded In the
seventh Inning of the first game of
yesterday's "crucial" double header,
the veteran regulars hod earned a
rest. They started taking It In the
second game, and they don't nave to
go back to work until they have
rested. Neither do they have to rest
if they don't want to.
Manager Charlie Grimm almost
wont right back to work in the sec
ond game yesterday, although he long
had planned to give Marvin Goudat a
ohance as soon as the National league
title was won.
"Now that this battle Is over," he
said, ' "I could get a ' lot of fun out
of this game. I won't rest long."
Hush to Pitch Opener
He has definitely 'announced only
one item of his world series plans
that Guy Bush will pitch the open
ing game, at New York. This has
been common gossip ever since It
looked as though the Cubs would
win the championship. His other
pitching selections depend on the
outcome of that first game. ;

the pennant winning triumph re
quired a little time to develop. Billy
Herman was the first player to reach
