Then his hitting v. as erratic until Charley Grimm climbed into the pilot box and the Cubs came clattering down in first place, literally crashing their way through with an exhibition of late inning rallies that had the fans’ teeth on edge. And then, .just to make more of an issue over Cuyler. on Sept. 20 the Cubs clinched the pennant by beating the Pirates, 5 to 2. It was Cuyler who came up with the bases loaded and banged a triple off the left-field wall, cleaning the sacks and relegating his old club to second place. Cuyler Nearing 34 Cuyler will be 34 years old next August. According to physicians’ reports, his right ankle is badly fractured. It will be at least two months before he can navigate, and at his age those breaks are slow to lira 1 i His speed, accurate throwing from (he outfield, and timely base knocks will be missed when the Bruins start working to keep the flag they won last year. Cuyler’s replacement is a mystery The Bruins have Frank Demaree, who played part of last season; Vince Barton, a light hitter, and McCarron, a rookie. Kiki's injury may force the Cubs to call in Tuck Stemback. the Los Angeles youngster who was purchased for 1934 delivery at a $59,000 figure.

Connie Mack Predicts Big Year for Judge in National

Bn I nitrd Prrxx FT. MEYERS. Fla.. March 30. Joe Judge, who, despite the record books, is at least 40, will be a sensation holding down the Brooklyn Dodgers’ first base this season, according to that well known authority, Connie Mack of the Athletics, dean of baseball managers. Before the Athletics' game with the Dodgers Wednesday. Connie Mack chatted with newspaper rnen and someone asked his opinion of Judge. "One of tlie smartest first basemen the American League ever saw.” the white-haired manager replied. "I'm sure Joe will be a sensation with Brooklyn this summer. Few National League fans know how good a ball player Judge really is." This was a pretty good send-off for a chap who had been campaigning for seventeen seasons with the Washington Senators, and who was allowed an outright release by wily Clark Griffith of the Senators so that he could transfer to Brooklyn in January. So another writer asked Connie why he regarded Judge through such rose-colored glasses. "Joe's the sort of player who hits .300 or close to it year after year without getting a reputation as a groat hitter." Connie explained. "You’ve got to go through his record of runs batted in to get a true appreciation of his value to a club. You'll find he annually drives home more than players who hit 20 or 30 points higher than he. "Judge is particularly valuable in batting in the runs that hurt—the runs that change the tide of battle and swing a ball game for his club. Tire Athletics have had more trouble
