U rigley dissatisfied with the team's fourth place position in the National League standings, dismissed Charlie Grimm under circnmatanco’ almost identical with those surrounding Ills sudden appointment in August 1932. (The Cubs climbed into third place last night when Boston defeated Cincinnati). Hartnett, Grimm and several newspapermen crowded into Wrigley's private office overlooking Lake Michigan, all seasing what was about to occur since rumors of a drastic change in the Vuliw had been repeated fra’ a week. "Gentlemen.” Wrigley begam. '1 have decided to make Hartnett th? manager.” The Cubs were five and • «»lf games out of first , going nowhere. despite a recent seven-gathe winn-j

Shamerloh had a hurling edge] over W. Schnepp, hit pitching op-1 panent, the Rotary tosser holding the Legion to three hits while his' mates obtained six safeties. Rotary scored first in the second ! inning when Heckman drew a base on balls and scored on a hit by ' Walters. The Legion tied it up in j the fourth when Hackman drove out a hit as first man. follow- d by a walk to Koldewey and a brace I of infield outs. Rotary scored the winning run in the seventh frame. After Walters had been retired on strikes, Melchi doubled and rode home easily when Gaunt also drove out a two-base hit.

Tbe human thing to do when you’re j hurt is to take it easy, not pull I out all the stops marked "heroic.” | This is especially true when all • your heroics will get you is a gold watch and the sobriquet "iron ■ horse.’ ’ Granting that Gehrig’s refusal to I give-in and miss a game when he is injured is good for his scrap book and ego. I wonder it it is good for his team? There have been times, when Lou was younger and better, when he was a better first baseman injured than anyone who could have been put in to replace him. But 1 doubt it. that is true today. He knocked | but one ball out of the infield I against the Indians in the crucial I game Monday, and it was plain I that he was favoring his badly I swollen thumb. Suppose a manager found him-1 self with a team composed entire-1 ly of men protecting a consecutive game streak? Picture a team | where the catcher had a cracked ■ wrist but insisted on going be- | hind the plate, and the pitcher de- ; manded his right to work, tracer the Cubs, made him manager. I The managerial change also solvI ed temporarily the position of Tony I Lazzeri. 12-year member of the I world champion New York Yankees, I who now becomes a candidate for I a front office job in addition to his i position as player-coach. j Hartnett was too surprised by | '.he announcement to make any immediate changes. He said be would stand by Grimm’s selection of pitchers for the next few days, Indicating he would send Dizzy Dean against the New York Giants FriI day.
