ACKSONVILLE, Fla., October 29. —Snapper Garrison, famed turf figure, who died in New York yesterday, was widely known in right. He was a steward at St. Johns Park at the last Spring meeting. ‘There is a story which has been told about “Snapper” Garriscn for a decade sporting nature. “Snapper” was broke, goes—or at least he was down to his last $3.

HORNSBY IS READY 10 SHUFFLE CUBS New Pilot, Expected to Make‘ Many Changes, Due at Chicago Tomorrow. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, October 29.—Long- awaited developments and changes in the Cub base ball family are expected to start to- morrow+when Manager Rogers Hornsby returns to establish his Winter head- quarters. 5 Since his elevation to the manager- ship, September 26, Hornsby has re- fused to afirm or deny :umors of wholesale changes in the team's per- sonnel, but from tomorrow on an- nouncements of changes are expected to be numerous, if not shocking, to the base ball world. The status of Capt. Charlie Grimm. gegular Cub first baseman for the last six sezsons, is one of the big quesiion marks in the minds of Cub fans. Ru- mor has it that Grimm is to be traded or sold and that Jim Bottomiey of the St. Louis Cardinals will succeed him. Another report involves Leo “Gabby” Hartnett, the big Cub catcher.. It is known that Hornsby thinks well of the ability of Al Spohrer, backstop for the Boston Braves, and that he wants him to become a Cub, especially with a lot of new pitching talent coming to the Cubs next Spring. However, it is improbable that Hart- nett will be traded in such a deal, al- though the Cubs still want Third Base- man Arthur Carter Whitney of the Philadelphia Nationals and are willing to pay considerable cash and part with a player or two for him. Definite announcement of the pur- chase of Pitcher Ed Baecht from the Cub farm at Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast League is expected soon. Former Manager Joe McCarthy attempted to obtain Baecht from the Angels last Spring, but the Angels had a brisk pen- nant fight of their own at home, and Owner William Wrigley of the Cubs re- | fused to lisiten to the plan. Hornsby plans to stay in Chicago | during most of the Winter to construct his machine for the 1931 pennant drive.
