Cubs Cop Tenth in Row, Top Pirates 8 Games; Dodgers Third
By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 29.—Charles John Grimm, manager of the Chicago Cubs for the past twentyseven days, today seemed likely to become the first manager in majolleague annals to take over a team in August and pilot it to a pennant. Grimm, who was 33, Sunday, and is the youngest manager in the National League, either is a naturalborn leader or one of the luckiest men in baseball history. When Grimm was elevated to the helm after Rogers Hornsby’s dismissal at Philadelphia, Aug. 2, the Cubs wei;e in second place, five games behind Pittsburgh. Today they were in first place, eight games ahead of the second-place Pirates and eight and one-half above the third-place Brooklyn Dodgers.

The Cubs’ relentless drive has won for them twenty out of twen-ty-five games under Grimm, including thirteen out of fourteen in the present stay at Wrigley field. They have intact a winning streak of ten straight—longest of the National League season. The Cubs continued their march Sunday by nosing out the Giants, 5 to 4. Mel Ott gave the game to Chicago. He misjudged Herman’s fly in the ninth, permitting Koenig to come home with the tying run. Then Cuyler sent a fly to Ott, who threw wild to the catcher, letting in pinch-hitter Gudat with the winning run. Hogan’s ninth-inning homer with two on base had given New York a 4 to 3 lead. Pittsburgh, although idle, replaced Brooklyn in second place when the
said as much when he told a friend "he guessed he would have to look for anew manager next season. a a a It will be Bush's fourth time as a major chieftain. He piloted Washington in 1923, Pittsburgh in 1927 and '2B, and the Chicago White Sox in 1929 and '30.. After leaving Washington and before he was promoted to Pittsburgh, Ownie bossed the Indians for three years and finished second each season. His success at Minneapolis is told in the league standing—his club is seven games out ip front with less than a month to play. tt tt tt It was only by a tough break that Bush missed appointment as pilot of the richest ciub in the majors—the New York Yankees.. He received the Yankee offer a few hours after he had given his word to take over the floundering White Sox and although it was a mighty difficult spot to be in. Bush rejected the wealthy New York berth to prove to baseball that his promises are as good as his name on contract. Should Ownie go to Detroit he will be a manager on the scene of his long stretch of years as one of the greatest fielding shortstops of the game. a a a THAT little park at Minneapolis is home sweet home to Joe Hauser, Miller first sacker. He lifted three over the fence Sunday in the first half of the twin bill with Louisville and boosted his season’s total to forty-seven. The A. A. record is fifty-four, set by Nick Cullop in 1930, when he was with the Millers. It looks like a cinch for Hauser to surpass Cullop’s mark.
The strange thing about Slugger Hanser is the fact he is not batting better than .300. Big parks on the road cut him down. His three homers Sunday equalled the league record for one game. Babe Ganzel of the Bushmen also hit three Sunday, two in the first tilt and one in the second, and Ruble of the Millers, and Nachand of Louisville each hit one In the first. Funk and Adair cleared the fence for the Colonels in the nightcap, a five-inning affair. Archie McKain held Minneapolis to three hits.
Jess Petty mastered the Colonels in the Sabbath opener and tacked up his thirteenth win of the season. The Silver Fox landed in the right spot when he joined Minneapolis. He was a free agent last winter, having been released outright in the Pacific Coast League. The comeback under Manager Bush recalls the season of 1924, when Bush piloted Indianapolis and sold Petty to Brooklyn. Jess won twentynine games for the Hoosiers that season. tt St St KANSAS CITY upset the Toledo Hens twice Sunday and crept within two games of the thirdplace Indians. The Kaws gave two rookie hurlers a chance and they produced, Blackwell, a kid southpaw from Pierce City, Mo., and Gabler, a righthander who started with the Blues in the spring and was knocked out by injuries. A line drive hit by Tom Angley of Indianapolis struck Gabler on the head and nearly ended the youngster's craeer. His comeback is a tribute to ms staying qualities. a a a Otto Rltirge. shortstop, has boon rerallrd from Columbus by the Cincinnati Reds. He is a brother of Oscar Bluege. Washington infielder. Young Bluege hatted .290 for the A. A. Red Birds and was a star in the field. Illness put him on the shelf recently. The Reds plan to try him out at third base. Pitcher Joe Dawson and outfielder James Mosolf have been released outright to Kansas City by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Thev have been with the Blues on option.. They are not a part of the recent Hal Smith transaction. CARDS BUY SLUtIGER HOUSTON. Tex.. Aug. 28.

Dodgers lost both ends of a twin bill to the Cardinals, 4 to 1 and 6 to 4. The Cards tallied their four runs in the sixth inning to take the first game, and their fourteen-hit attack •on Thomas and Heimach gave them the nightcap. Dizzy Dean was the slab winner in the second tilt, pitching eight innings for his third victory in five days. He hurled complete games Wednesday and Friday. This double victory enabled the Cards to pass the idle Braves and go into a fourth-place tie with the Phillies, who split a double-header with Cincinnati. The Phils won the opener, 2 to 1, after pitcher Roy Hansen drove in the winning tally with a single in the seventh. The Reds took the nightcap, 3 to 2, when Chick Hafey’s single in the eighth brought in the winning run.
Tilden Stars in Net Exhibition Big Bill Tilden and his professional tennis troupe were New York bound today after a two-day exhibition stand at Hawthorne Tennis Club.

In Saturday’s program, Tilden defeated Nusslein, 9-7, 6-4, but the German starred in doubles when he paired with Tilden to defeat Pare and Barnes.

Cubs ‘ln’ By United Press NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—A1 Munro Efias, baseball statistician, conceded today that no team in the National League has a “reasonable chance - ’ of beating the Chicago Cubs for the National League pennant. "There's the bare mathematical possibility that some team might nose out the Cubs,” the conservative Elias said, “but that possibility is so slight that it’s unreasonable.” A1 explained that the Cubs* could lose half of their remaining thirty games and still finish with 88 won and 66 lost. Even on this far-fetched basis, their closest rivals, the Pitts-* burgh Pirates would be forced to win 23 out of their remaining 28 games to finish with 89 won and 65 lost, for a onegame advantage.

Tribesmen Begin Final Fling Against Millers With Their Hold on Third Place Threatened by Blues, Indians Invade Stronghold of League Leaders: Last St. Paul Tilt Is Lost. By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 29 —With their current road record reading seven defeats and five victories, and with their grip on third place menaced by the Kansas City Blues, the Indians invaded the home of the league-leading Millers today for five games in four days.

The “frenzied interest edge" on the race has been removed by the galloping Bushmen.
The Indians will perform here through Thursday, travel on Friday and open a short stay in Louisville on Saturday. The Tribe will be home a week from today.
