GRIMM Manager, Chicago Cubs AVALON, Santa Catalina Island, Cal., April 16—Strengthened in ev- ery department, I think the Chi- cago Cubs have a much improved club over the one we started with] last year and certainly we are go- ing into the 1934 National Leaguc race with every intention of win- ning. Of course the addition of Charles (Chuck) Klein, National League batting champion of 1933, to our outfield has helped a lot, but I also expect a great deal from the| fine crop of youngsters which has | come to us this spring. | 1 believe the public would like to see some new faces on the Chi-i cago Cubs' team and if these| voung fellows come through as I expect them to we will have a peppy club that will be hard to| beat. Sees Four Rcoks Making Grade In all my years in organized | baseball T have never seen so many | goodlooking prospects among the‘ rookies as we have this season.| Usually a manager is lucky tofind | one good player in the bunch but | early indications are we have three| or four who are going to make‘i i the grade. 5 Dick Ward, who led Pacific| Coast League hurlers last year, certainly looks like the money. He has a fine change of pace—the best T have ever seen in a new- comer—and there apparently are no flaws in his delivery. Bill Lee, another right hander who came to us from Columbus, also holds promise among the new pitchers. Przise for Chuch Klein And then there are Ernie Phelps, a catcher, Augie Galan, infielder, and George (Tuck) Stainback, out- fielder. They're all promising | voungsters who seem certain to stick. - As for Klein, I don't take any stock in, the talk that the short] right field at Philadelphia was .the answer to his remarkable hitting average of .368. Frankly, T think he is the outstanding player in the league. I've seen him hit outside| BEATTIE FEATHERS Despite all attempts it, the suspicion persists that the to squash veteran Mr. Cornelius MecGilli- cuddy knew exactly what he was | about when, with some show of emotion, he disposed of the three outstanding pitchers who hurled the Athletics to their champion- | ships of 1929-30-31. I do not mean even to suggest that Mr. Mack indulged in any sharp practice when he disposed of Robert Moses Grove, along with Rube Walberg, for upwards of $125.000 in Red Sox money, which proved very useful money indeed, and also sold George Livingston {Earnshaw for perhaps $50,000 to the Chicago White Sox. Everything was certainly open and above board about the whole business. Mr. Mack had proved he could no longer win pennants with this trio. Two of them, Earnshaw and Walberg, were virtually of no real value to him «in 1932 and ALL- AMERICA HALF -BACKK 1933. He was obliged not only to AN OUTFIELO |Cut these luxuries from his pay- JoB iy rgl{ bgu to meet certain fiscal B, CINCIN NATI obligations. In short, he was all through with them. TO FAMILIAR PASTURES Now the question arises are any off these three stars kkely to prove worth the price? Earnshaw has been belted all around in practice games more or less the same way he has been treated for the past two years by HE CONSIDERS HIMSELF BETTER.

If he does, one combination I have been considering strongly would put the Babe at right field, Klein in cen- ter, with Riggs Stephenson and Stainback sharing left field, pro- vided Tuck foot. Meanwhile Grove's sore arm has appeared to respond so slowly to treatment that the Red Sox are becoming apprehensive. It is, he says, the first one he ever had and | he refuses to worry about it, but that’s no help to the Boston own- ers who have made a tremendous investment in his left arm. The fact remains that a sore arm is a sore arm and of no practical benefit to anybody.

SPACING OUT THOSE GAMES | Since Grove pitched in 45 games for the A’s last season, topping the league with 24 victories against 8 defeats, the inference is that he was sound of body and limb when | bartered to the Red Sox. | | It wouldn't be extremely normal| | to expect a pitcher of Grove't rug- ‘ged build and temperament to| +have at least two or three more good years in his system. His| | reluctance this spring to take any | chances with his arm may be traced to his own changed mental attitude as well as to any physi-| cal development. i In other words, Grove knows| | | that his pitching days are num- bered and that there’s no percent- age in pitching his arm off this year. By taking his regular turn| in the box, rather than answer- | ing the fireman's gong at every emergency he will have a better| chance to prolong his major league career and salary. This seems reasonable enough, {from the athlete’s viewpoint, and my guess is that you will find Grove's arm responding to treat- ment satisfactorily as soon as he| is assured he will not be over- worked. mundson thought he was seel a ghost!

The biggest turnout was at San Francisco where 12,000 fans saw George Burns, manager of the Seattle nine, drive in five of the six Indian tallies.
