Cuvarretta wax a victim of his own versatility as manager Charley Grimm shook up the cubs In the series opener witn the Cincinnati limb) in an effort to keep the hr nine on the heels of the high-flying Brooklyn Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. In th*- switches f'avirctta yielded the first base job to Eddie Waltkux and went to right field In the place of the slump-ridden Bill Nicholson. llookle Marvin llickert, who had been alternating with Ni* choLm, now bus moved over to < enter in place of Andy Pufko Although the Cubs were beaten yieterday, the switch)*) gave an Indication of achieving manager Grimm's objective of more power for Waßkns garnered three hits and llickert hud a perfect day at the plate with five singles. The "inflehier today, outfielder tomorrow' routine is n< thing new t for Cavarrettu. Now In his 13th season with the Cults. Cava rest a has spent a gts>d part of hi* career switching from his natural flint lia.so job to the oiltfieili to mak<* ! room fra player not possessing ! his versatility. The last six seasons provide ' ample proof of Cavarretta "Inability" to hold one Job Ihm-.iiixo lie can do another no well. In 1940. Phil shared the find I base Job with three performers. Hank Bonura. Hank ladber and Glen Russell. He played 52 games at the position that season, which I was more than any of his rivals. The following season, the Culm obtained the elick fielding Babe Dahlgren and so Cavarretta went j to th>* outfield to make room for him He played only 33 games at first that season anil in the i outfield, Dahlgren was still around at I the start of the 1912 campaign and then the Cubs came up with Jimmy Foxx to <-omplluate Cavarretta's problem of "steady employment” even more Phil hail 61 game* at fiiut and 7<> in the outfield that year. In 1943 and 1941. Cuvarretta was the regular first baueinan but to make sure he didn't lose his outfield touch he played 20 guinea In right field laist season when he won the I "most valuable" laurels, Phil gave way briefly In m'd-xeaxon eo that Heinz Becker could have a fling at first base The experiment wax not a success however, and so "old reliable" went back to the poxij tlon. Now Cavarrettu Is back in the outfield again. He'll stay there if Waitkua can make the Major la-a-gue grade at first, if nut. Ph If will return to the infield until another challenger for his job contest along. Fort Wayne Scene Os Moose State Conclave Plans are being furthered here for sending a large delegation of local members to the state convention of the Moose lodge, to be I held in Fort Wayne June 21-23, ' inclusive.

It. Schultz with a 209. Snyder 214 were the beat for the Soya outfit, which went Into a tie for 4th place in the standings. The second and last games were won in the last fruine. which shows that the game isn't over until the last man has finished. The West End Restaurant club, with George Appleman's boy Andy banging out 208.200 ami 236 for 644 went into a tie for second place with their opposition by winning all three from Kuhnerx. Zelt managed a 204 for the other score good enough to get in the news tor the West Enders. For Kuhners Hoagland snagged a 204, Fret) Hoffman 236 and Udd a 202.

Rome one evidently left the back door open and the draft blew the pins over as Rprunger ha>l the high series of the night on 224, 217 and 224 for 665 while Allspaw, the leadoff for the Nussbaum Novelty hammered out 637 on 226. 201 and 210. The remarkside thing almut these scores is the fact that they were garnered on the plunker alleys, 1 and 2. Peter Bleekc with 226 and Harold Hoffman on 208 were the beat for Kohnes. Htandard Oil used a broom on Riverview Gardens and swept the series and moved themselves up to sixth place. Tufewller 205 and Young 2t»2 for Rtandard were the only 200 scores In this match. Ossian Tin Rhop won the odd game from Smith Bros, without a single 200 score. Following the pattern set by a-vme of the larger cities with their "Bowling Clinics,” some plan will be worked out for the would be bowlers of Decatur for next year if enough intercut is shown.
