CUBS MANAGER PREDICTS WIN FOR HIS TEAM Charlie Grimm Says The Chicago Cubs Will Win Pennant —or Else ■■ Chicago Jan. 18 —(CP) —"Tic Chi- ago Culm will win the pennant" I nays manager Charlie Gritnm. | "They win It. or I may be looking for a new Job." Claiming pennants during the; dull days of winter iH an old baaeIral. custom, but Grimm qualifies as . one of the bravest managers in his ! lory by admitting that his job will be at Stoke next season if the Cubs ; didn’t dethrone the world champion , New York Giants. Grimm admits that he brought ] precaiiotu situation upon himself; after the Cubs finished third last season. "The front office asked me what players I wanted to strengthen the club after the season closed last year," said Grimm. "I told them and I they got what I wanted. Then after the major league meetng in Decent her they asked me if I was satisfied with the team as it stood, and I told them I was. Now if the Cuba don't win the pennant I won't have any alibi. "But 1 think they will. We have i patched up the weak plates, obtain-1 ed reserve strength, and added offensive strength with the purchase of Chuck Klein. It looks like a pen ■ant winner to me and I'll keep my , job." Grimm said he expected Klein to lead the National league in batting again next season, and that his pre sence would inspire Babe Herman, a big disappointment last season, , to stage a great comeback. Klein will bat third in the Culm lineup, i the same spot he hit in with the Phillies. I j In beginning his second full season as Cubs' manager, Grimm sai l he expected to be a bit sterner with the players than heretofore. "In my first year ■! was in an embarrassing position," he said. "I couldn't expect to suddenly assume

MAXIE BAER IS ; LEADING BOXER Boxing Magazine Rates j Baer As World's Most Glorified Boxer N w York. Jan B >U.R) Maxie 'Baer of the explosive right hand, j lurid loves and u’dlmltad lawsuits, j 'emerged from the fistic wars of 1933 as the world's most glorified I i lw»x* r. (Inly an i-y hi h prevented Iho | Livermore lauruper from being I i rated even with heavyweight champion Primo Camera as the | year's top-notch fighter, according I Ito tli> copyrighted rankings ideas- | <-d today by Hu- magazliie, "The | Hi' K-" In addition, the article pointed lout. Baer was designated by the i ring's consensus of 104 Isixing writ- I ters throughout the world as thI tighter who had done most in 1933 1 j to stir the imagination of fans a d | I help boost th® game out of the dol- : drums. Smashing into the big time just when boxing was suffering from the greatest scarcity of high class talent since the inception of the rank! gs in 192.'. Baer's sensation-1 al victory over Max Schmeling and i his crowd-pleasing conduct since | proved a timely stimulant. Lack of high c lass talent was indicated by the honor roll which contains 109 less names tha ’ at I any time since* the* late Tex Rick ard started the rankings. Moreover. less names Hiatt ever before are listed in the first-class grouped of the eight divisions. In the heavyweight class, for example, only Cai era and Baer arlisted in the* top-flight group. Those in the next three groups rate as follows; Loughran, Levinsky. Schmeling. Sharkey. Neus *l. McCorkindale, Namas. Massaro. Ramage. Perromi. Risko. In two divisions, tin* champions stand < alone; Jimmy McLar in. | welter title holder who was voted : 'he hard- st hitler weight-for-weight ! of any class, and Al Brown, ruler of the bantams. Among the* light heavies, champion Maxie Rosenbloom just shades John Henry Lewis, the Arizona negro who twice beat Maxie i ■ non-title bouts. They occupy group No. 1 alone Tommy Loughran was honored as tlie year's "come-back king." anil Jack Dempsey was lauded for having conceived the plan to match Schmeling and Baer, a bout that created new interest in boxing. * n Ossian Suffers Its First Defeat The Ossian Bears, leading Wells county team, suffered their first defeat of the season Wednesday night, losing to Union Center, 25 to 20.

This editorial ran in the Hoosier Sports Week of Vincennes: “Forgotten Men” "Playing a big part in the success of high school basketball iu | Indiana are the 'gentlemen of the Press.' These ‘gentlemen’ write reams and reams of ‘copy' each week during the basketball season, and it is their everyday ballyhoo that has put Hoosier prep school basketball at the high peak it has attained. Most of these sport columnists get their reward by becoming the most popular guy la town, in their respective communities. Their ballyhoo has made it possible for the many SIOO,OOO coliseums, the $4,000 and $5,000 a year salaried coaches, the $lO-per-game referees, the continuance of the athletic association and Mr. Trester's job. Nothing have they received in return. The sports col- ■ um ists. and the newspapers of In-1 diana do not always get a fair | break at the state tournament play-1 jed at Indianapolis. Press tickets! I are few and far between —one to | a newspaper -.and you're lucky to I ' get that. Probably the severest bit I ; of injustice, however, is that newspapers have bee-t prohibited from putting telephones in the press box to 'phone the games back, play by play, to their home towns. While i newspapers are barred from 'broadcasting' tlie games hack home, Indianapolis radio stations are permitted free access to the tournament. They in tur-i sell the broadcasting to tlie program sponsor and reap the cash benefits.. Radio ! stations do nothing toward helping basketball during Hie season, but are given the prefere* ce when tournament times conies. This would be a good year tor Mr. Ihsaa to turn over a new leaf and give the newspaper boys the co-oper-ation they rightfully deserve." o Buy Clothing at Reduced prices in our Real Clothing Sale.
