WRIGLEY TELLS OF CUBS PLANS IN NEW SET-OP Cub Owner Says Charlie Grimm To Be Boss Os Team Chicago, Dec. 17. — (U.P.I —The strange managerial setup of the Chicago Cubs was clarified by owner P. K. Wrigley today in a hard hitting interview in which he specified the duties of the three men Charlie Grimm. T..iy Lazzeri ami Gabby Hartnett he has hired to run his team during the’ 1938 campaign. “Grimm is the manager with full charge on the field." said Wrigley"Lsuzeri and Hartnett will work with him. There'll be no second guessing behind Grimm's back. If a problem comes up that needs straightening out we'll all sit down and discuss it together intelligently for the common good of the Cubs. “Broadly speaking. Lazzeri’s work will be to add aggressive ness t. . the team and to act as a capacity. Hartnett will be expected to add spirit and hustle to the disciplinarian when needed in that team. Os course, both of them will be expected to help coach and develop the younger players. “Lazzeri will be our insurance TURKEYS for CHRISTMAS SHOOTING MATCH Sunday, Dec. 19 Starts 10 o'clock POULTRY FOR PRIZES.

Wrigley fails to get excited about possible flareups over too many , "managers." “I've learned not to pay too i much attention to baseball rumi ors." said Wrigley. "Some one is ' always firing and hiring Cub managers. If it wasn't Grimm it would be ..'lie one else. Our plans for next season may be a bit radical but you can't say they won't work until they've been tried. "If they work we will have made a big step in building a baseball I organization fox the future. If ' they don't we'll have to try something else. But for the time be- ; ing you can say positively that Grimm is the sole manager of tho Cubs, and that I do not consider I either Hartnett cr Lazzeri man. agerial timber at this time” Wrigley pointed out that some |of the players had misconceived ideas about how the team should have been run fast year and he has frank talks with them about : next season. "I believe that these players unI derstand the situation better and i that they will have a different attitude under the new setup. One i of Grimm's faults, which he adI tnits himself, is that he has failed lin administering discipline. That's why we obtained Lazzeri, an outsider.
