LOUIS, Aug. 11—A gesture of sportsmanship by Charlie Grimm, manager of the Chicago Cubs, prob- | ably cost Chicago the first game | yesterday of the important series with the Cardinals on Grimm’s in- sistence that Dizzy Dean be al- lowed to continue, Dean had a scuffle with Tex Carlton, Chicago pitcher, to take the mound today. The scuffle took place between the halves of the first inning. Carlton jumped from dugout when Dean started for the Cubs’ bench and both were in a menacing mood over slight remarks made by Dean. Grimm entered the melee and asked what all the row was about | “It don’t seem to | and then said: matter and nobody is hurt.” The umpires let Diz stay the game at Grimm's request. The Cardinals beat the Cubs by | a score of 7 to 3 in the opening | game of the present series. GAMES MONDAY National League Chicago 3; St. Louis 7. Boston 9; Philadelphia 7. New York 5; Brooklyn 6.

PODGERS NOT FOR SALE SPORT SLANTS It was generally taken for grant- ed last fall that .Joe Stripp was |through as far as Brooklyn was concerned. Jersey Joe was a fair| third baseman when he choose to be, but, all in all, it appeared that he had outlived his usefulness. The fans had soured on him, Casey Stengel had given up trying | to keep him in line, and the front | joffice would have been happy to |see Joe Stripp off the roster. The logical thing, then, was to, trade him. The only hitch was that someone had to be willing to take Joe off Brooklyn's hands, and no |such party could be found. Stripp's reputation had gotten around. No manager wanted him. The third baseman represented quite an in- vestment—a little too much for a club to give away. Joe remained the property of the Dodgers through the winter. When contracts were mailed out, {one was sent to Stripp as a mat- |ter of form. The club was forced to do this to protect its right of ownership. Stripp almost dropped dead when he saw the figure men- tioned in the contract. He knew |Broaklyn no longer regarded him highly, but he had little idea that he was expected to take about a one-third cut in salary. Joe Went on Strike Joe did the only thing he could do. He held out. For the first time, the Brooklyn owners and Casey Stengel were in complete accord with Joe Stfipp's actions. As far as they were concerned he could have held out until doomsday. He would play ball at the figure they Inamed or not at all. They turned a cold shoulder to all overtures made by Jersey Joe to talk things over. Harsh words flew back and forth, and no understanding was reached until the season got under way. Eventually, as in the case of most holdous, Stripp came to terms. But| the event was not exactly heralded | as an occasion of great joy for either party. Joe was not in shape| to play and Stengel was not sure that he would want to use him when he was. But Stengel found himself in a position where he. could hardly ig- nore the presence of Stripp on the bench—especially when some of his hopefuls were doing such strange things on the ball field. When the | time came, Stengel inserted Stripp | into the lineup in the fourth bat- ting spot—cleanup position. Stripp did a good job covering third base and added power to the weak Dodger attack.

That is ‘Joe Stripp. Stengel is pretty well aslusfil‘d that Joe has experienced a change of spirit and is playing lhe best brand of ball of which he |is capable. Brooklyn “Bargain” Hits Rookie Eddie Wilson has been gaining favor with Brooklyn ram, ever since he broke into the lineup | late in June. The youngster cost | the Dodgers little more than car- | fare and gives every indication of | er. He actually stole the show re- cently when the Dodgers defeated in both games of a| doubleheader. A left-handed batter, Wilson has been hitting when hits mean runs. He packs plenty, of power at the ! plate. In the outfield he is a de-} pendable fly-catcher and has an| arm that is stronger and more ac- | curate than that of any of the other Brooklyn gardeners. He was with the Brooklyn farm in Allen- | town this season until the Dodgers recalled him, and hit a bit over| the .300 mark before belng brougml. to Brooklyn. i | Brooklyn fans who wete disap- pointed with Ox. Eckhardt's futile | efforts to hit National League pitching are wondering what sort of pitching he is called on to face in the American Association, where | he has been setting the pace for batters. Eckhardt came to Brooklyn last. spring with quite a reputation as a hitter, having beaten Joe Di | Maggio out for the 1935 Pacific Coast League batting crown. Sten- gel was mighty patient with Eck- hardt before he let him go back to the minors. — - ALLEN SHATTUCK i TRAVELING SOUTH Allen Shattuck, widely known Ju- neau resident, left on the Alaska for the south, going to Portland, Ore., where he will gee Mrs. Shat-| tuck who is in the Coffey.

For instance, consider the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States. It was founded as a busi- ness venture purely, and heretofore has kept a pretty clear reputation for non-partisanship. One former President of the Chamber sits to- day high in New Deal councils. An- other is bitterly active against the (New Deal. Some time ago, coridemned various New Deal poli- cies.
