No Subway Series this year
'Baseball town9 Chicago falls upon hard times
by Harry Argue
Sports Columnist
You never think of "wait
'til next year" cries going up
with only two weeks gone in
the season, but that's about
how pathetic the Chicago
baseball situation is right
now.
This was to be THE year
for the Cubs and White Sox.
Most pollsters saw high first
division finishes for both
clubs. Edgar Munzel of the
Chicago Sun-Times even pre
dicted the first all-Chicago
World Series since 1906. Yet
just 10 days after the sea
son's belated opening, the
Cubs and White Sox each
boasted of sole possession
of last place in their respec
tive leagues.
The Cubs' early skid ap
pears to be just that and
nothing more. The northsld-
ers' big bats have been pro
ducing sufficient runs and
genuine hopes for the 1968
pennant may still be realized
if the pitching can start com
ing around.
When the Cubs have won.
it's been very decisive, and

banks. Foils will be in order
as intramural fencing begins
in early May.
Aspiring swashbuck
lers should have entries in by
5 p.m. Monday, April 29 in
Room 102 of the P.E. Build
ing. Men students who have
had experience in fencing or
have taken a fencing class
are eligible.
All participants must wear
tennis shoes and long pants.
Jackets, masks, gloves and
foils will be furnished.
most of the losses have been
tight battles, which can't help
but soon start falling the
right way. Further, while the
Bruins are in tenth place,
thve are still within breath
ing distance of the top since
all of the National League
teams are currently in a very
close bunch.
After many years of just
being tolerated as another
team in town, Chicagoans
have now really taken the
Cubs to heart. 34,000 loyal
partisans filled vine-covered
Wrigley Field on a rainy Sun
day for the home opener and
screamed with almost a re
ligious fervor. They seemed
to echo the theme authored
by first baseman Ernie
Banks, "The Cubs will per
colate in '68."
This attitude was well
shown on Easter Sunday af
ter the Cubs had dropped the
home opener the previous
dav. Another overcast day
failed to hold down a large
crowd. The World Champion
St. Louis Cardinals raced to
an early 3-0 edge, but the
Cubs weren't to be denied and
came back to win a nip and
tuck contest, 7-6. It was the
reigning champ's first loss
since the sixth game of the
1967 World Series. And the
ultra-ardent Cub backers had
their first chance to whoop-
up a win. Tnere should be
many more days like it in
1968.
The White Sox have a touch
bleaker situation and out-

look. They dropped their first
nine games and found them
selves deep in the cellar, two
full games out of ninth place.
There has been virtually no
hitting with a team batting
average of a mere .170 and
I'm starting to wonder if my
prediction of seventh place
for them was too generous.
In addition to their plenti
ful field problems, there are
numerous ones at the box of
fice. While most teams draw
near capacity crowds for
their home openers, the White
Sox pulled, only 7,700 on a
fairly warm and clear day.
The park is well-kept up and
easily accessible by express
ways and subway, but it is
close enough to a potential
riot area to make people
afraid to come, especially at
night. Even without this prob
lem, the Sox are not that ex
citing a team to watch, even
when they win, and It is no
longer fashionable in Chicago
to be a Sox fan.
To insure some good crowds
the White Sox moved nine
home games 95 miles north
to Milwaukee. The idea of a
Chicago team playing 'home'
games in Milwaukee hardly
overjoys most Windy City
faithful since the two cities
have about as much love for
each other as Nebraska and
Colorado do.
Last Friday, the White Sox
were apparently so desperate
that they simply decided they
weren't going to play ball
that night. It was announced
early Friday afternoon tha.
the game with Detroit had
been postponed because of
cold weather and a forecast
of heavy rain. I was rather
shocked since it didn't seem
that cold and I had never hear
of a game being called be
cause of a rain "forecast."
Usually it can be pouring
down rain well past game
time and the game still isn't
called, but it was rumored
that there was almost a neg
ligible advance ticket sale for
the Friday night game, which
just may have had a tiny
bit to do with why the game
was put off.
As it happened, the tem
perature stayed about the
same all evening and it didn't
rain until Saturday morning.
It seems odd that two teams
in the same town could be so
different. It's more like a
tale of two cities. About all
the two clubs have in com
mon for sure this year is that
they both wear a patch on
their uniforms of the Illinois
Sesotuicentennial, commemor
atinc 150 years of statehood
in 1968. Ironically, it may be
another 150 years before Ed
Munzel s prediction comes
true.

Mr. Galvin:
what part does politics play
in career promotions?
Den Mr. GaTvint Dear. Mr KtmfaSt
X would lilcc to discuss wllh yon
another facet of employee prac
tices in the business world.
I am concerned that if I were
to choose business as a career,
interoffice politics and seniority
bottlenecks would have a
considerable effect on my
chances for promotion.
in one company, I worked in
conjunction with a two-man
department which had a serious
personality conflict The superior;
who had been with the company
for twenty years, did practically
CO work and, in fact, due to the
evolution of his department's
responsibilities, was not really
capable of performing his job. His underling, who was quite
capable, did all the work which was then passed through the
superior for signing. Although the underling had complained to
the management about this inequity, they could find no real
excuse to fire the superior and had no good idea as to where to
relocate him until he was eligible for retirement Their philosophy
Was to let them fight it out; after all, the two-man department was
getting the job done, so the status quo might as weU be preserved.
I agree that this would be a thorny problem for any personnel
manager or executive, but nevertheless I left the company feeling
as if I would run a high risk of spending time caught in a person
ality log-jam like that one if I were to seek permanent employment
with them. Am I being naive to think that I would have my
potential recognized more quickly in a professional occupation?
Equivalently, what role does politics play in rising
to the top in the business world?
Sincerely,

Stanford University
AN EVEN DOZEN. This is the twelfth in a continuing aeries of
dialogues in progress during the school year between students at
four leading universities and Robert W. Galvin, Motorola
Chairman. "The Dialogue is an open discussion," Mr. Galvin says,
"and I welcome comments from anyone interested in improving
communications between the campus and the business world."
The students dialoguing with Mr. Galvin are: Barbara Caulfield,
Northwestern University; Ralph Kimball, Stanford University;
Fred Sayre, University of Arizona; and Paul George Sittenfeld,
Princeton University.
Send your letters to Robert W. Galvin, Motorola lac,
9401 W. Grand Avenue, Franklin Park, Illinois, 60131.
Certainly your chances for
promotion in business could bt
jeopardized by interoffice
politics, just as they could in
many other career fields. Ona
hears of this type of thing,
constantly in governmental
departments, for example, and it
certainly is not unknown in
educational institutions. I am
sure, too, that it exists in soma
hospitals, as well as in large
law firms. But one shouldn't
judge the whole library by a few
poor books. A person who feel
bis abilities and potential are
being ignored in his chosen
career should speak up to those)
on higher levels of responsibility.
i uis is pernaps easier in
KnpIoyee-reTations-conscIous business than in some other fields
In business, as in other progressive fields, higher positions art)
usually filled by promotions from within. Consequently, it i
very poor policy and bad business for a corporation's
management and professional employee relations people to
ignore or deliberately pass over really valuable talent Most
companies do not do it; the few where such bad practices
may still be prevalent lose, in the long run, far more than do
the individuals to whom they deny deserved promotions. Fat
the mdividuals will soon realize the situation and leave'for
other positions where their capabilities and talents will be
recognized. The companies where these poor policies survive"
will soon be in trouble because of a shortage of talented,
knowledgeable management people.
Nepotism, favoritism, discrimination do exist, rafartunately.
although most of today's dynamic corporations are taking
vigorous steps to clean house and rid themselves of such,
pettiness and poor practices.
Meaningful summer employment programs for college student
can help undergraduates determine for themselves to what
extent these poor policies exist in companies where they accept
summer jobs. I am glad you had the experience you did yoti
now have direct knowledge of the kind of company you
wouldn't want to work for. Companies should be carefully
evaluated and investigated before anyone accepts a position. Tbj
company will interview you you should interview and
question it for evidence of just such practices as you describe.
However, I do not believe, Ralph, that you would run any
greater risk of "personality log-jams" in business than in tht)
professions or in government.
I wish tiiat more students would keep open minds regarding
business, as you have throughout our dialogue, and apply their
thoughtful questioning attitudes to the task of exploring all th
facts about business instead of condemning it without real
knowledge.
Sincerely,
Chairman, Motorola inc.
