CUBS’ PENNANT HOPES LIE IN HARTNETT’S MITT

Loop Champions Must Pin Hopes of Regaining Flag on Rugged Catcher, Joe Opines Gabby Turned in Masterful Job Last Season Despite Strained Relation with Grimm, Williams Recalls, and Looks Capable of Doing it Again. BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer AVALON. Cal, March 3 —One of the main reasons why the Chicago Cubs won the National League championship last season was that Charles Leo Hartnett had the best year of his career behind the bat. Despite the fact he was 35 years old and in his fourteenth season as a bit; leaguer he surpassed all his previous accomplishments. He even stole a base.

It is quite an event when Mr. Hartnett, who is known far and wide as Gabby because of his extreme taciturnity, steals a base. Mr.

Hartnett Is built along the same general lines of a public auditorium and is about as speedy as a stationary wash stand. . . ‘‘There is one thing I'll never have to worry about.” says Mr. Hsrtn et, t, "and that is losing my speed. Just the same this doesn't keep

Williams

Mr. Hartnett from running everything out and trying to the fullest. He is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic exponents of the game. His tremendous vitality and Falstaffian behavior set him apart among current performers. These things, plus his high ability, place him at the top in his league. What kind of a season will Mr. Hartnett have this year? There appears to be no reason why he shouldn’t have another exceptional year and yet the records show he was above .300 in hitting last year for the first, time since 1930. This would seem to indicate that his performances are subject to wide fluctuations. Concerning a Slump What makes this a matter of importance is the admitted fact that Mr. Hartnett’s great work was largely responsible for the Cubs’ success (last year. It may be that the team will have improved to such an extent that p. slump by the catcher would not have any serious effect, and again such a slump might derail the champions completely. At any rate, it has been established that even with pitching such as Lon Warneke is capable of, the spirited play of the young infield and the fancy didoes of Galan and Demaree in the outfield, the Cubs pin their chief hopes to the red-faced chatterbox from Woonsocket, R. I. This being so they will need him in there often and late if they are to repeat —and, of course, the only thing that can keep him out is injury. It was an open secret that Mr. Hartnett and his manager, Mr. Charles Grimm, the old gas meter reader, did not embrace with vigorous affection every time they met last year. Mr. Hartnett had been promised the captaincy of the Cubs, an office which carries with it a nominal ‘'up" in pay, but the appointment was finally given to Woody English, a substitute, who played in only 34 games. Serious Rival for Grimm Those close to the situation explained Mr. Grimm's peculiar strategy on the ground that he regarded the Woonsocket whirlwind as a serious rival for his own job. and after first announcing the captaincy program vetoed it, for fear of adding to the gentleman’s importance. It sounds very silly, but there is no question that decided coolness existed between the catcher and his manager for the greater part of the season. Yet, in the face of the unpleasantness Mr. Hartnett turned in a masterful catching job and Mr. Grimm proved himself to be a successful manager. I don't know what, all this proves, unless it is that bitterness and dissension on a ball club, especially in moderation, are not harmful. Mr. Grimm is loud in his praise of Mr. Hartnett this spring, but it is sig-

nificant he has made no change in the captaincy. Just how Mr. Hartnett feels about this is not disclosed. It may be that he is one of those lyrical souls who thrive on praise. Apropos of nothing. I engaged Mr. Hartnett in conservation concerning pitchers. . . . Dizzy Greatest of All “You'll have to go a long way before you find a better pitcher than Lon Warneke," said Mr. Hartnett. Almost in the same breath he revealed that long distance is the mileage that separates Chicago from St. Louis, because he proceeded to add that Dizzy Dean was the greate.-t of the current stars. ‘‘lt's nard to tell how great Diz really is,” said Mr. Hartnett. "It may bf that he hasn't even let out all the way yet. This may sound foolish but it won't if you watch him work. You get a hit off him and he'll bear down and show' you just a little more stuff. You get two hits and he’ll show you twice as much stuff. He’s never any better than he has to be and when he hasn’t been overworked and isn’t tired, he’s the king of them all.” We got to talking about the World Series . . . "You know I thought we were a shoo-in to win the series when that big Greenberg got hurt in the second game and had to retire,” said Mr. Hartnett. “I didn’t believe they could get along without him. But what happened? That Owen goes to first and plays it as if he was born on the bag, and that Clifton goes to third and looks like an all-time all-America. It just goes to show you never can tell, as the fellow says.” STERLING NINE CALLS MEETING OF PLAYERS Sterling Beer baseball team members will gather tonight at the first meeting of the year at 1228 Oliverav.

Baumgarten Inspects Site of A. B. C. Tournament •Fairground Layout Elaborate,’ Says National Secretary; Pritchett Blasts Maples for 757 Series. BY BERNARD HARMON THE State Fairground layout awaiting the start of the annual American Bowling Congress tournament next Monday night is one of the most elaborate in the history of the great indoor classic, according to Elmer H. Baumgarten. secretary of the parent organization. Baumgarten arrived in the city Sunday evening and Will be in charge of the pin event until its completion April 14.

The secretary, accompanied by Mrs. Baumgarten, and two members of his staff, Bob Marquardt and Pete White, established temporary headquarters in the Severin. With the arrival of the other members of the tourney staff Thursday, Baumgarten will move his offices to the Exposition Building at the Fairground, where he will be in constant touch with the proceedings of the championship event. Baumgarten, accompanied by several officials of the local tournament corporation, visited the site of the tourney yesterday morning.

He expressed surprise at the progress made since construction work started a few weeks ago, and marveled at the expansive setup in the adjoining expo sition building. which will- house all offices, concessions and other booths that usually are found

in the same building with the tournament alleys. “The use of the exposition building eliminates the crowded conditions that usually prevail at A. B. C. tournaments,” -said Baumgarten. Harold Koch, chairman of the corporation's ticket committee, reported that the sale of the special three for $1 admission tickets was far in advance of his expectations. Many local firms are buying the “cut rate” ducats in blocks of 100. Alley managers, who are handling the sales in the various bowling establishments, reported sell-outs early last night and besieged tourney headquarters for new supplies. With the unexpected rush for the tickets, officials look forward to staging the tourney before the largest crowds in its history.

C., is teaching many of the “smokeeaters” the finer points of the pin game, and just to prove to them that he really knows what it’s all about, he tossed a 681 series in last night’s session of the Fraternal League to take city-wide runnerup honors of the evening.
