CHARLIE GRIMM PREDICTS HOT PENNANT RACE Cubs’ Manager Refuses To Predict His Team Will Win Pennant (Editor's note: This is the e tconds of a series of articles on the major league ball clubz in training. I By George Kirksey. (UP. Staff Correspondent) Sacramento, Calif., Mar. 19. (U.R) —"Win the pennant” isn’t the slogan of the Chicago Cubs this season. They tried that theme song last year, and finished third. "Hustle, fight and don't quit!” is the Cubs' battle-cry this year. “It’s going to be a close pennant race with four clubs, the Cardinals, Giants. Pirates, and Cubs in 1 the battle", said Manager Charlie , Grimm. "My only prediction is ■ that the Cubs won’t quit like they did lust season. As long as the , players give their best I'm willing ■ to let the pennant race take care' of itself." Grimm is absolute boss this season, answerable only to Philip K. Wrigley, club owner. Wrigley elevated Grimm to vice-president and delegated the job of signing the player's checks to him. And every first and fifteenth he can put extra sugar in a player's envelope for outstanding work during the previous two weeks. During the winter the Cubs dis- 1 posed of a lot of their dead timber. Only three athletes in the first line

of strength are past 30. They uro Grimm. Gabby Hartnett, and Kiki Cuyler. each 36. Only out' man on the club weighs over 195, and that's who scales 205. The Cubs' probable butting order follows: Cuyler, If; Herman. 2b; Klein, If; Lindstrom. 3b; Stainback, cf; Hartnett. c; Grimm, lb; Jorges, ss, and pitcher. Os this group, only Grimm and Klein are left handed hitters. Grimm believes the infield will be the best in the National league and the outfield as good as any other. He counts heavily on Lindstrom. obtained from the Pirates, to make u spectacular comeback at thiid ami after three years in the outfield. Lindstrom, at 170. is 15 pounds lighter than last year. With his leg back in condition after last year's disappointing I work. Klein hopes to bat considerably above his .301 mark of 1934. Cuyler continues to play his steady ■game, and Stalnback. with a year's ■ experience and a bride, promises i to develop into a star. The catching is first rate with i tic veteran Hartnett to carry the brunt. Ken O’Dea from Columbus ' is his assistant. The pitching staff is shy one starter. k»n Warneke. Bill Lee. i I.ary French, southpaw from Pitts[burgh, and Tex Carlton, from the Cardinals, form the "big four.” Grimm is gambling on one of the youngsters—Hugh Casey from Atlanta, Clay Bryant from New Or-( leans. Fabian Kowglik from Bnf- 1 falo, Roy Henshaw from Los An-. geles. Frank Coleman from the eastern league, or the veteran Charlie Root Tor the other starter. The Cubs are loaded with reserve strength. They have Frank Demaree, coast league batting champion, and Angie Galan, converted infielder, in the outfield, and

Elwood English. Eddie (’ihocki. I Stanley Hack, and the 18-year-old phenom, first baseman Phil Cavar j I retta. in the infield. Some of this' surplus talent may be used to coax a pitcher from another National I league club if necessary. o . Annual Butler Relays Scheduled Saturday < Indianapol'.s, Ind., March 19 —!'

(Hunk) Fran ■ cis. whose Jeffersonville high I school teum fulled to wilt the state basketball championship last week, has resigned at the request of ■ school officials. I Jeffersonville was defeated by Andersdn In the final game aftar I piling up an undefeated record of 31 games during the 1834-35 season. Francis announced that he would quit the coaching game for good and left town shortly after his resignation was submitted. A petition signed by scores of Jeffersonville residents asked for Francis' resignation because-of his I "disgraceful conduct" after the team had defeated Montgomery in the first round of the finals last Friday. Francis told n local newspaper representative that be did not wish to divulge the names of persons who were with him Friday night. I explaining that he might involve some "prominent Jeffersonville people.” He said he might have been | "doped" during the tournament. According to reports circulated freely here. Francis was in no condition to direct his team during its three games Saturday. The re- ■ ports were circulated by’ the players themselves, it was said. An editorial in the Jeffersonville ■ News was bitter in its criticism of I the coach. "The players did their part but the coach let them alYd the Jeffer- [ sonville people down." the editorI ial said. ”, . . Coach Francis has outlived his usefulness to Jeffersonville. "However, we can't see that he i has done anything worse than the hypocrites who claim to be Jeffer- : sonville fans and yet enticed Francis to drink or even drank with him. "Since writing this we have learned that Coach Francis has resigned and will say that is quite I timely. The farther he stays away from Jeffersonville, the better it J will be for all concerned." Despite their disappointment over losing the championship. Jefi fersonville students were dismissed from classes yesterday and held a long celebration for the team. | » ° ' At the Training Camiw 1 j By United Press > 4 Ventura. Cal..
