CHICAGO CUBS I IN DISSENSION Larry French Goes To Front Office With Kick On Hartnett Chicago Aug. 1 —(t’P)— Gab‘-y Hartnett, who has been in baseball long enough to threaten Ray Setselk's endurance record for catchers frees his toughest job today in rears, milling the dixspirited Chicago Cuba. F. r the first time since Hartnett became manager as well as star catcher, unrest aiming hl* players broke Into the open in the case of French, who went over Hartnil Cs head to the front office in an attiwiipt to obtain more pitching assignments. There are other problems. Sev- ! eral players openly resent the pampering of Pissy Dean. Somt* of the pitchers hare dropped sharp comtn nt* about Clay Bryant, the big right-hander who hasn't felt up tj pitching since May 8. Hartnett's own aloofness and refusal to accept advice from seasoned players drew complaints from more than one, wh»o the club returned from its last eastern trip. < Appearance of French ter a conference with owner Phil Wrigley I yesterday climaxed a month-long mystery of why the left-hander has, not been given a starting job. Mince. an Injury to Karl Whiteh.li. be is the only left-bander available. iaerry was reported in Hartnett'* "doghouse" beoausc he had asked to pitch to Gun Mancuso who had caught him in hl* successful assignm< nt* at the start of the season.

I naturally agreed with him." When Hartnett was made man- , axer. Wrigley declared he had full i responsibility. Since then the veteran catcher has «todh alone, acie?ting all the credit and all the blame. In addition. Hartnett has been ' >rced to resume his regu'ar catch- . nig job to add distance hitting to | the cubs' attack. He ha* caught j I.YB# games In his 17-year career, only 12 games short of th* all-time record set by Schalk. If he catches j It’d games this season he will be the first in history to catch l«0 or more games in 13 diffenent yearz.

cute around second base, yon should get a peek at him when he moves over to short in morning workouts and starts handling the ! ball ... It is his natural position, and all he needs is a pair of bow- ; leg* to make you think you're watching Hans Wagner in bis . prime. I doubt if anyone could explain clearly to me how there is a possibility of Henry Armstrong losing hi* welterweight title to Lou Am- . bars wbi-n they meet on the night 'of Aug. !S for the lightweight championship ... To begin with. Armstrong won't be a welterweight , that night . With his amazing aI bllity to gain or lose weight at will he will have gotten himself down to the lightweight poundage . . . Amber* certainly won't weigh enough to classify as welter*. goIng to decide the welter title? . . . II don't know, do you?
