CAVARRETTA IS PRIZE ROOKIE Cub Young First Baseman Is Star Rookie of Major Leagues Chicago. July 10. — <U.R) 111,1 prize rookie in the major leagues this season is Philip Cavarretta, 18-year-old first basemaji for the Chicago Cubs. Just one year out of high school, he stepped into the shoes of Charley Grimm when that veteran decided to retire as a player and concentrate on mana.gitiS. How well the shoes tit the young Ita’lan is shown by his performance biit-h at bat and in the field. He is hitting .300 and fielding almost faultlessly. He has driven In 39 runs, only three less than Hartnett, who is leading the team in that department. He has poked out four home runs, 7 triples, and 11 doubles. The rookie is not large as first basemen >'■>, w ighing only 170 pounds and stand-.ng five feet 11 inches. Ca' arret a lives in the same small brick house in the heart of Chicago’s Italian district where lie was born Ju’y 19. 1917. He played his first ball in a vacant lot across the street, beside lhe grammar school he attended. From the g, axles he went to Lane techn'i al high school nnd ther • played regularly as pitcher and first baseman. Ills high school batting average was better than .4(10. Cavarretta had one semester of high school left when his coach, Percy Moore, ■.■ecommended him to Clarence Rowland, Cubs scout. He was farmed out to Peoria and played 22 games, hitting .326, before the league folded up. He flashed the 1934 season with Reading. Pa., p'aying in 86 games and batting .308. While the Cubs were trailing at Catalina Island this spring, the young rookie won his spurs At the start of the Tegular season, grimm said: "Get in there and play first base, Cid. I'm retiring as a player." Cavarretta has been in there ever since. He has missed only tw p o games th-is season and on both occasion he was ill. What enabled him to jump into the mojors after only one year in the bush leagues? Cavarretta can answer the question himself. ".Much of the credit is due to Mr. Moore." he said. “He is just about the best baseball coach in any high sThool in the country. Then when 1 joined the Cubs I had Charley Grimm to teach me how to p'ay. He put a lot of confidence in me and 1 knew I couldn’t tail him. I'd rather play for Mr. Grimm than anybody else. When I was in school I watched him every time 1 had a chance and hoped some day 1 could play as well as he.’’ o Fort Wayne Lad Killed By Auto F;rt W’ yne, Ind.. July 10—(UP) — R.

BIG BUSINESS NEXT IN LINE Congressional Spotlight To Turn Next Into Other Lines Washington, July 10 -- ( U-B' ; ter disposing of the legisla ive dia . pute over abolition of unnecessao public utility holding compaJiies companies congressional reform will turn to big business in other fields, with railroads first up for investigation. The senate interstate commerce committee will investigate railroads with particular emphasis on i railroad financing and “banker-con-trol” of the carriers. Also marked ! for inquiry is the American Teaphone and Telegraph Co. The federal communications commission, wil’ be judge and jury on that one.. Lack of satisfactory counsel delays the A. T. and T. investigation., Ferdinand Pecora, now a New York ' I state supreme court judge, could! ! have had the job but preferred the, i bench at $25,000 a year to a $lO.1 000 or smaller salary as prosecut- - or of the nation's biggest corpor-j lafion. , I Max Lowenthal. one of Pecora sI senate stock market investigation] ‘advisers, has been retained as, .counsel for the senate railroad ini quiry. Lowenthal wa.s secretary of the Hoover administration WickerI sham crime commission but resigned when it appeared—the eviI dence never has been made public —that someone was putting political pressure on chairman George : W. Wickersham. | Chairman Burton K. Wheeler of I the sena'e committee, who is no friend of railroad bankers, propos- > ed the senate investigation and : obtained authority for it. His i strategy is to develop through witi nesses a story which will help sell ■ to the people and to congress the .Wheeler bill for government ownt ershlp of railroads. There circul lated in Washington a few months ' ago an interesting and plausible rer port that the railroads had hoped [ to keep Wheeler out of the inter- > state committee chairmanship. The j strategy was to persuade Senator Ellison D. Smith, D.. S. C., to take that committee. He is senior to ’ Wheeler and had first call on the ’ job. But Smith preferred the ’ agriculture committee chairman--1 ship to which he also had prior ’ c’airn, so a senator who is judged ,by Wall street to be a wild and - wooly radical got control of the I senate committee which interests ! itself primarily In transportatfor d problems. a] o t‘ 16 Years Os Exile e Ends For Hapsburgs e Vienna.
