To Aid Grimm

CHICAGO, May 11 (U. P.).—Phil Cavarretta, hustling veteran first baseman of the Chicago Cubs, plays his first game as team captain today in hopes of sparking the Cubs back into the winning column. Manager Charley Grimm, after seeing the Cubs lose their 13th straight game to the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday, named Cavarretta his captain, and prayed that some of his fighting spirit would be contagious enough to spread through his lineup. Cavarretta, who has spent ‘ the entire 10 years of his professional career with the Chicago Cubs, is the only player on the present Cub roster who was with the team : during Grimm's former managerial o stint, which ended, in 1938. 1{ The 27-year-old Italian, who hit 0!.291 and batted in 73 runs last sea2 son, succeeds the retired Stan Hack o/as Cub captain,

In the National, the surprising Phillies extended the Cubs’ losing streak to 13 games, the longest in the Bruins’ history, by trouncing them 5-1. Mort Cooper won his first game of the season as the Cardinals defeated the Dodgers, 4-2. Although hit for 10 safeties, Cooper was presented with a four-run lead in five innings off Whit Wyatt and managed to last through for the de|cision, his first of the campaign.
