Brooklyn, not New York, virtually killed whatever hopes either Chicago or St. Lottis had of j winning the pennant. While the . ; Giants were in St. Louis taking 1 a two-out-of-three series from the | Cards, the Dodgers were chopping . down the Cubs at the same speed. While the Giants have been get-1 ' ting one game In three from the Cubs, the Dodgers have been winning two from the Cards, splitting the series.

DIZZY DEAN TO CHICAGO CUBS —— — Rumors Current That Cubs Will Undergo Drastic Shakeup Soon Chicago, Aug. 29. (U.R) Notes from a big league press box: The Cubs are in for one of the biggest shakeups in, the majors ‘ during the winter, according to the I wliipers going around . . . Ditzy i Dean and Pepper Martin of the jCardinals are slated to Join the I Cubs in one of the biggest base- ! ball deals in years . . . The Card- | inals and Dean are all washed up. and Dizzy is going to go to the highest bidder . . . The Cubs are ready to outbid the field. Chuck Klein and Kiki Cuyler are i likely tt> go elsewhere, and may i land in St. Louis . . . Klein can t hit in Wrigley Field, and has been a big disappointment to the club |. . . Babe Herman Is likely to be I shifted to first base, giving the Cubs an almost entirely new out. field . . . Frank Demaree from Los Angeles, leading coast league hitter. is slated to get the center field job, with Stainback staying In left . . . Joe Dimaggio. San Francisco flash, may be bought by the Cubs if his injured knee heals. Charlie Grimm lias no contract with the Cubs . . . “Mr. Wrigley’s word is as good as his bond with me.” said Grimm in commenting on his lack of written contract . . . Wrigley likes Grimm, which means that the Cubs’ manager is going to be around a long time . . .That’s bad news to the baseball gossips who have been trying to tire him since mid.season. Grover Hartley, 46, is now the oldest active major leaguer . . . He was placed on the active list as a catcher when Rogers Hornsby suspended Rollie Hemsley for his run in with a cop in Philly ... If the records are correct Bill Terry, Giants manager, broke in organized baseball at 16 as a pitcher with Atlanta . . . Around Memphis they say that Terry is much older than the 36 he claims . . . But he doesn't look it, Travis Jackson is the backbone of the Giants' team . . .His offensive play holds the infield together, and his bat has proven the big factor in team's offensive . . . Although batting only .286 in the last averages, he ranked fourth in the league in runs batted in with , 89 to his credit . . . Mel Ott, Jimmy Collins and C.us Suhr top him in runs batted in . . . Terry and Paul Waner, who are Imttling for the batting crown, have driven in twenty runs less than Jackson. Schoolboy Rowe’s big ambition is to beat Carl Hubbell in the open, ing world series game . . . They both came from Beaumont to the majors . . . Rowe is fast becoming one of the most popular players in j the league with newspapermen and | fans ... He still wears the same size hat as he did before he won 16 straight ... His father used to be an aerial artist in a circus but is crippled now . . . |He used to get 50 papers free for pitching for a newspaper team in Eldorado, Ark. . . . Then he sold the papers for a nickle each to the workers in the oil field. 0 Two NRA Officials Tender Resignations (Copyright 1934 by United Press) | Washington.
