CUBS SEEKING FIRST BASEMAN Cavarretta’s Slump Sends Grimm Back Into Starting Lineup Chicago, May 26 —(UP)— The champion Chicago Cuba staggered back into Wrigley Field today with manager Char’ey Grimm perced on first base once more scouting for a capable relief man.

His hitting had plummeted to .250 The slump became so acute on the Cubs Rocky Eastern tour, it began to affect the tall Italian Youngster's work around first base. So Grimm is back, not to fire up the chanHpioitd' attack with a flock of base hits, 'but just to "balane up the infield.” ‘ “A few days' rest ought to put Phil back o nhis stride.” Grimm said "The weather's warm, now. and 1 guess 1 can hold up until he snaps out of the dumps ” But Charley's longing glances were focused on owner P. K Wrigley's bankroll, not on the bench where Cavarreteta was sitting out his “sentence.” The $50,000 tossed in with Chuck Klein and Fabian Kowalik for Curt Davis and Ethan 'Allen was just a starter if the Cubs would build up to pennant strength. Since RolphCamill; wasn’t included in the deal with Philadelphia last week. Jim Collins, of the St Louie Cardinals, la the logical man for Grimm. He can field and hit hard although he's been pushed out
