Doesn't Care Much About Visit of Extra-Inning Playing St. Louis Nine
Chicago, Aug. 30.-(AP)-Joe McCarthy and his bruised Cubs will be happy when the St. Louis Cardinals and their extra-inning habits leave Chicago.
In the last two days the National League champions, crippled by the absence of four stars, have had to toil for 33 innings in order to end two baseball games. Right on top of defeating the Cubs in 20 innings Thursday, the Cards came right back yesterday and stuck around before losing in 13 innings.
On Thursday Sheriff Blake and Charlie Root, regular starting pitchers, reported to the club physician with injuries. Yesterday Hack Wilson was unable to start because of a strained muscle in his right side, and Gabby Hartnett had a battered finger.
Riggs Stephenson was sent back to left field and Dan Taylor, his understudy, was transferred to centerfield in place of Wilson, while Zack Taylor handled the catching. Neither Wilson nor Hartnett is expected to be absent long, while Root and Blake probably will be available for duty when the club goes on the road Monday.
