CubS to Keep Fighting, Says Pilot Grimm

Sees Close Race Between Four Clubs: Klein Third in Batting Order. BV GEORGE KIRKSEV | nurd PrrM Staff Correspondent SACRAMENTO. Cal., March 19. -Win the pennant” isn't the slogan of the Chicago Cubs this season They tried that theme song last year, and finished third. -Hustle, fight and don't quit!" is the cubs’ battle-cry this year. -It's going to be a close pennant race with four elutes, me Cardinals, Giants, pirates and Cubs in the battle " said Manager Charlie Grimm. “My only prediction is that the Cubs won't quit like they did last season. As long as the players give their best I'm willing to let the pennant race take care of itself.” Grimm is absolute boss this season. answerable only to Philip K. Wrigley, club owner. Wrigley elevated Grimm to vice president and delegated the job ol signing the players' checks to him. And every first and nPeenth he can put extra sugar in a player's envelope for outstanding work during the previous trvr> weeks. Dead limber Is Gone During the wihter the Cubs disnf a lot of their dead timber. Only three athletes in the first line of strength are past 30. They are Grimm, Gabby Hartnett and Kiki Cuyler, each 35. Only one man on the club weighs over 195, and that’s Hcrtnett, who srales 205. Tire Cubs' probable batting order follows: Cuyler. If: Herman. 2b; Klein, rs; Lind.strom. 3b; Stainback, cf; Hartnett. c; Grimm, lb; Jurges, ss; pitcher. Os this group, only Grimm and Klein are left-handed hitters. Grimm believes the infield will be the best in the National League and the outfield as good as any other. He counts heavily on Lindstrom. obtained from the Pirates, to make a spectacular comeback at third base after three years in the outfield. at 170. is 15 pounds lighter than last year. With his leg back in condition after last year's disappointing work. Klein hopes to bat considerably above his .301 mark of 1934. Cuyler continues to play his steady game, and Stainback. with a year’s experience and a bride, promises to develop into a star.

Hartnett, O’Dea to Catch The catching is first rate with the veteran Hartnett to carry the brunt. Ken ODea from Columbus is his assistant. The pitching staff is shy one starter. Lon Warneke, Bill Lee. Larry French, southpaw from Pittsburgh. and Tev Carleton. from the Cardinals, form the “big four.” Grimm is gambling on one of the youngsters—Hugh Casey from Atlanta, Clay Bryant from New Orleans, Fabian Kowalik from Buffalo, Roy Henshaw from Los Angeles, Frank Coleman from the*Eastern League, or the veteran Charlie Root —for the other starter. The Cubs are loaded with reserve strength. They have Frank Demnree. Coast League batting champion. and Augie Galan. converted infielder, in the outfield, and Elwood English. Eddie Cihocki. Stanley Hack and the 18-year-old phenom. First Baseman Phil Cavarretta. in the infield. Some of this surplus talent may be used to coax a pitcher from another National League club if necessary. Irishman Uses Slams to Conquer Y ant res Rough slamming tactics were much in use as Irish Pat McCarthy pinned Al Vantres in two of the three-falls headline wrestling match at Tomlinson Hall last night. McCarthy tossed his opponent into the ropes and caught him on the rebound to slam him for the first fall in 12 minutes. Vantres copped the second spill with a body slam and smother in 10 minutes, and the Irishman came back to slam Vantres into submission in seven minutes in the third. Ernie Piluso outclassed Jack Hagen In two of three falls in the semi-windup, and Walter Hickman scrapped Dutch Morgan in eight minutes in the opener.

Pritchett’s 687 Gains Top Honors as A. B. C. Tension Grips City Pinmen

It may have been the nervous tension that precedes any championship battle that held down the league scoring of last night, and. with many teams poised for their takeoff in search of national honors at the ABC at Syracuse, that is Just as good an excuse as any for the scarcity of huge totals. Jess Pritchett Sr. blasted away for a 637 count in the Optimist League at Pritchett’s, and this proved to be the best three-game series of the evening. But. of course, no one expects a veteran of 25 ABC s to show any signs of nervousness, so Pritchett had a big edge on many of the other boys. His series came from games of 255, 210 and 222. Only one other 600 was posted in this loop, Mundt cashing in with a 609. Pritchett's team No. 1 used his top count to gain the only three-time victory of the session, the No. s's being the shutout victims. Teams No. 2 and 6 won twice over tei'ms No. 4 and 3. Dov. n at the Fountain Square, Joe Danna emerged from his recent slump and pounded out games of 210. 223 and 231 to total 661 in the South Side Business Men's League. His f otal was good for individual runnerup honors of the evening’s league sessions. Six other totals passed the 600 mark during the evening. Bob Wuensch having a 625. Phil Bisesi a 622, Bob Wilmoth a 614, Bill Arnold 613, Nan Schott 604 and Ed Stevenson 601. The Bake & Vans D-X Service led by Danna and Bisesi scored the best three game count of the session, getting 2936 from 917, 1005 and 1014. They won twice over the opposing Stahlhut Jewelers. Other contests were also decided via the 2 to 1 route, Heidenreich Florists, Brenns Five and Polar Ice & Fuels emerging victorious over the Voight Mortuary’. Bemis Bags and Koch Furnitures. In the Evangelical League at the Pritchett Alleys, three 600 totals were posted during its session of last night. A 636 from A1 Menges topped the trio. Paul StrieLock had a 627 and Paul Taylor Jr. a 602. The Senators jumped all over the Dodgers, trouncing them three times. The Pirates breezed through with a two-time win over the Athletics. the Cardinals, with a 1010 middle game, took a pair of wins from the Browns and the White Sox took their series from the Cubs, 2 to 1. The Yanks and Giants were without opponents. The usual number of 600 totals failed to appear during the Indianapolis Star’s matinee session of yesterday, Walt Heckman being the only pastimer to “get over.” His 620 topped the league's individual

Jackie Sharkey’s Fight Manager Knifed During Argument Over Decision By United Press CHICAGO, March 19.—Jackie Sharkey of Minneapolis and Orville Drouillard of Windsor, Ontario, fought a draw in a junior lightweight bout at Marigold Gardens arena last night, and then their managers did likewise. George Ades, the Canadian’s manager, might claim a decision because Hugh Cartin, young Sharkey’s mentor, got a knife wound in the fray while Ades was unmarked. Ades still has to appear in court, however, to answer a charge of assault. Chairman Joe Triner of the state boxing commission joined police and spectators in separating the two managers. Witnesses said the fight started when Ades implied in uncensored ringside remarks that his fighter had been “robbed” of a decision. GARY CLUB IN ACTION AT A. A. U. NET MEET By United Press DENVER.

Ross Agrees to Title Mix With Ambers Louis Also Signed for Bouts Which May Lead to Shot at Baer’s Crown. BY LAWTON CARVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Mai’ch 19.—Reports that Barney Ross was through as lightweight champion because he no longer could make the division limit were wiped out today by announcement of plans for a title match with Lou Ambers of Herkimer, N. J., in June. The champion telegraphed the New York State Athletic Commission yesterday agreeing to meet Ambers, the No. 1 challenger. The Twentieth Century Sporting Club the new club, which operates under immediately applied for dates. The bout is one of five to be promoted during the outdoor season by the banner of the Free Milk Fund. Bout Planned for June 5 Mike Jacobs, head of the club, announced that plans virtually have been completed for staging the Ross-Ambers bout June 5 at the Polo Grounds, along with others he seeks. He 'will not know until next month when the commission will allot dates for all outdoor shows, but his request is expected to be approved. Joe Louis, the heavyweight Negro from Detroit, has been signed, Jacobs said, for three bouts which might lead to a championship match with Max Baer. Jimmy McLarnin, world welterweight champion, will appear here twice. Louis will box Max Schmeling, Primo Camera or Art Lasky at the Yankee Stadium on July 17. Subsequent appearances are scheduled in August and September, the latter against Max Baer, if Louis has gone unbeaten ana the champion will erase the color line. McLamin to Risk Laurels Jacobs said all contracts have beep signed and there will be no hitches. Ross recently refused $30,-* 000 to box for Madison Square Garden, but has agreed to fight for Jacobs at a far more reasonable figure. One of McLarnin’s bouts will be with the winner of the Ross-Ambers lightweight duel with the Irishman's welter crown at stake. Madison Square Garden has a claim on Ambers’ services, but Jimmy Johnston, Garden promoter, said he would not stand in his way inasmuch as Ross had refused to box for the Garden.

At the Training Camps

By United Press FT. MYERS, Fla., March 19.—The Philadelphia Athletics held their second victory over the world champion St. Louis Cardinals today and were through with big league competition at their home camp. The Mackmcn took a loosely played 8-7 game from the Cards yesterday, with Sugar Cain and Joe Cascarella pitching in celebration of Connie Mack day. The veteran manager received a gift from Florida admirers. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Beaten twice by the Boston Braves—and Babe Ruth—New York Yankee reinforcements were called out by Manager Joe McCarthy for today’s game with the National Leaguers, after a hard drill yesterday. Lefty Vernon Gomez, leading American League pitcher last season; Bill Dickey, ace of Yankee catchers, and Tony Lazzeri, veteran infielder, were in the lineup. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—The power of the Boston Braves’ batting attack is not confined to the regulars, but goes down through the rookies as well. Using substitutes most of the game, the Braves beat the bearded House of David nine yesterday, 17 to 6. Three home runs in the first innning contributed to the victory. Wally Berger, one of the few regulars in the game, hit for the circuit with the bases loaded. LAKELAND, Fla.—Chester Morgan, strapping Texas League rookie with the Detroit Tigers, is being groomed for the outfield, the only probable change in the lineup of the American League champions. Manager Mickey Cochrane personally supervised a two-hour fielding drill for the youngster from Skene, Miss., yesterday. His hitting is causing little concern. In the Texas League last season, he batted .342 and in his spring debut against major league pitching he made four hits. TAMPA, Fla. The Cincinnati Reds lent Lee Grisson and Junie Barnes, southpaw pitchers, to the Toronto club and came within a couple of pitches of losing a ball game on account of it. The Reds beat the Leafs yesterday, 6-5, but the hurling of Grisson and Barnes kept the Reds subdued. With two out in the ninth, the Reds unleashed a final salvo to sew up the game. NEW ORLEANS—About 6000 New Orleans school children were expected to sje their two favorite teams, the Cleveland Americans and New Orleans Pelicans, today in the “kids’ day’’ game, annual feature of the training season. Manager Walter Johnson will use Belve Bean and Ralph Winegarner on the mound.
