CUBS PLAN TO REBUILD TEAM Chicago, Aug. S.—(U.R. The process' of r-building the Chicago Cubs for the 1932 National league pennant has started with tile purchase of William Herman, star second baseman from ths Louisville American Association club. The Cubs bought Herman, who is 22 and playing his fourth season of professional baseball, fr o m Louisville yesterday for a sum reported to be $35,000, and two players. He will report to the Cuds before the end of the season, provided Louisville drops out of the, American Association pennant race. Herman’s last average was .363. William Wrigley, owm*r of the | Cubs, is said to be disappointed I with the showing of the Cubs this season, and it is reported he has ordered that no pains or dollars be spared in getting the necessary players to transform his team into a pennant winner next season. The purchase of Herman tends to bear out the suspicion that Man-1 ager Rogers Hornsby will see little action next season. Hornsoy's legs have slowed him up considerably j this summer and there is little i doubt but that he will devote more! of his time to managing the ti am from the bench next year. Hornsby shifted himself from second to third base several weeks ago because of his inability to j cover ground around the keystone I sack. In recent games Hornsby has! been remaining out of the lineup as much as possible. Even though owner Wrigley keenly feels tin- failure of the Cubs to put up a better bid for the pennant, I he is confident that Hornsby's j managerial tactics eventually will; give him the world baseball champ- J ionship. The Cubs need a general overhauling as the result of the decline ! of Hornsby, Hack Wilson’s batting j slump and the inability of other veterans to deliver as thev have in j other ytars. Vince Barton, rookie outfielder from Los Angeles, has started toI show his batting punch after a bad start and made five hits in nine I times at bat yesterday. Tw'O of iiis; hits were home runs and he look d , like he might be the answer to the I Cubs' plea for a successor to Hack Wilson, major league home run I leader last year who has been the' biggest failure of the 1931 season.! Although Charley Grimm, veteran; first baseman, is having one of the best seasons of his career, the Cubs are after a young first base-j man. The Cubs lytve not abandoned completely negotiations for Art; Shires, who is batting around .380 for the Milwaukee American Association club, but his reported price I tag of "$35,000 and two players" is deemed too high by President William Veeck. o Happiness in Efficiency You may be an artist, a lawyer. ! or a coal-heaver; if you are effl- , dent. whether as artist or coal- j heaver, it is ten to one you will I also bo happv —Sir F.

It fitted him perfectly, of course. After several washings it still fitted him perfectly. That was a new experience for him. Now he knows that "Sanforizing” means "guaranteed permanent fit for the life of the garment" and yesterday he proved his knowledge by the purchase of a drawer-full of Trumps in white and colors, at $1.05.

In fact the New York players I were confident today their current ; winning streak of five games is I the start of a drive which will i bring the National league flag I back to the Polo Grounds after an 1 absence of six years. The Giants' confidence was I strengthened yesterday by a don-' lie victory over Brooklyn, 6 to 3i and 3 to 2. and the New Yorkers now believe they can overcome I St. Louis’ seven-game lead. Fine pitching by Fred Fitzsim- 1 mons and Bill Walker enabled the j Giants to overcome the Brooklyn I jinx yesterday. Fitzsimmons out- I pitched Clark and Shaute in the I first game, winning easily when ; his mates drove Clark from the | mound with a tour-run attack in j the eighth. Walker was pitted against Daily Vance and each | allowed six hits, but Jackson’s ( homer gave Walker the winning. margin. The league leading St. Izmis Cardinals defeated Pittsburgh, 7 to 1. Meine held the Cards score-; less for five innings, but weaken-; ed in the sixth inning. A record for scoreless innings was ended when the Cincinnati Reds scored in losing a double-1 header to the Chicago Cubs, 4 to 2 and 7 to 3. Until the Reds scor-1 ed in the sixth inning of the first | game they had failed to make a i run for 45 consecutive innings. A ; 13-hit attack on Lary Benton gave j the Cubs the first -game. Les, Sweetland kept Cincinnati's 11 • hits scattered in the second game.' Boston and Philadelphia broke. even with the Phillies’winning the first game of a doubleheader, 3 to ' 2. and the Braves taking the sec-i ond, 4 to 2, despite Chuck Klein’s I 24th homer of the season. Only one game was played tn; the American League with the’ Chicago White Sox defeating Detroit. 5 to 1, to strengthen their | hold on seventh place. Vic Frasier allowed the Tigers only eight scattered hits. Yesterday's Hero —Vince Barton, rookie outfielder, whose batting gave the Chicago Cubs a 7 to 3
