SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1935. SPORTS. A—12 %% Grimm Not to Stand Pat With Cubs That Spurted to National League Peak L3 * NEEDS GARDENER, COUPLE PITCHERS Wrigley Won’t Be Satisfied Till Club Hoists World Title Banner. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. CHICAGO. November 4.—Charlie Grimm is not going to stand entirely pat on the Chicago Cub team which reeled off 21 consecutive victories to win the National League champion- £hip. P. K. Wrigley. vouthful owner of the Cubs. was happy in his team’s performance. but it still has to win the world championship—which was® the ambition of his father before him—and that is his goal in 1936 The Cubs will not need a Iot of re- building. The young infield of Cavar- retta, Herman, Jurges and Hack will continue intact. Augie Galan. the *Flying Frenchman,” and Frank Dem- sree are certainties in the outfield and that grand veteran “Gabby"” Hartnett and the youthful and fiery Jimmy O'Dea will continue as catch- ers. Warneke and Lee of the pitch- ing staff are sure to remain aces of the team. But Chicago must have another outfielder and two or three more pitchers. May Change His Mind. l OW to get them? Perhaps the unlimited Wrigley bank roll may dn the trick. Last Winter, Mr. Wrig- Jev declared he was through paving high prices for players, having in mind the voung fortunes spent for “Babe” Herman, “Chuck” Klein and some others. But perhaps a pennant win- ner has changed Wrigley's ideas. The Philligs and the Braves after poar seasons may be willing to ex- change one of their few star pitchers for cold cash. The Cubs could use Curt Davis or Ed Brandt and Wallie Rerger would be a grand addition to their outfield. Chances are Grimm will be in there bidding when the Winter league meetings open for busi- ness. The Cubs have one great trading ehattel in “Woody™ Enzlish, a sharp infielder. who was the forgotten man of the team all last season. Only 28 years of age, English has been with the Cubs nine seasons and for ecight was the regular short stop or third baseman. Bill urges’ sensational fielding drove him from short to third base and last season he was benched in preference for Lindstrom and Hack. There are many who believe English the equal of either Lindstrom or Hack at third base and his permanent benching was one of the puzzles of the Cub campaizn. English is one of the highest priced players on the Chicago tram and tremendously popular with the players and owners—if not the manager—but undoubtedly would like tn get with a team on which he coula play regulari: Giants Eyeing English, THERE is talk that English may land with the New York Giants, elthough Bill Terry has no pitchers o offer in exchange. Terry was here recentiy and all sorts of rumors bloomed there is no question but that ‘Terry wants some infielders and Eng- lish would make him a good hand, gince the ittle man can play second bhase as well as short or third. Frankie Frisch is another who would not be adverse to securinz English and the other five clubs of tae league would find him a valuable player. Englisii likely will be traded, in which event Hartnett could become the Cub cap- tain, but whatever club gets him will have to bid hizh m pitchers or cash P. K. Wrigley promised *“Chuck” Kiein a new contract when the out- fielder hit a home run in the fifth world series game, so Charles prob- ably escaped a trip down the river. Lindstrom might go in a deal. since he was of little value 1o the team until the closing month of the season. “Lindy” is no longer a great batter and the Cubs could sacrifice him for a vounger man. Tex Carleton. the tall pitcher. is ceriain to be on the market but the valiant, veteran Charlie Root will be kept, for without him the Cubs would not have won in 1935. Larry French might go in a deal but only if a better southpaw | could be obtained The Cubs won't trade many but any deals made will be of tiemendous im- portance to the success of the club. With a few additions, Wriglev might achieve his ambition for a world championship team in 1936.

BRITISH, SUN RADIO ; IN SOCCER THRILLER 3.000 Sce Sailors From York Hold Capital Champions to | Scoreless Draw. "HREE THOUSAND soccer fans still are talking about the thriil they received at the Rosedale Play- ground yvesterday as they watched a picked team of British sailors from the cruiser H. M. S. York, now in dock here, and the Capital's cham- pionship soccer team, the Sun Radio, plav to a scorcless tie The spectators got their first tingle of excitement early when the visitors swept toward the locals’ goal. only to find Wilson, Sullivan and Hook neatly blocking their best scoring efforts. An offensive of their own then was started by the District champions with Simonds and Jacobson carrying the ball to the very ecdge of the York goal. Both teams showed equal dash, speed and science, but both were in- accurate in shooting for the openings. In rezular Recreational League games Mitchell Brothers and Occo- quan remained deadlocked for second place xith victories over Sabaudia and Silver Spring. respectively. The Mitchell Brothers won. 6-0, and Occo- quan scored, 4-1. These teams will meet next Sunday for the runner-up post.

There are no miracles in foot ball, after all. There must be reacons, apart from luck. There was no luck attached to Notre Dame's final fifteen minutes that thould have earned four touch- downs. When an individual or a team in ' competition begins to slip and crack the collapse can take place in a hurry It can be like a powder explosion. This is what happened to Ohio State when her thirteen points. once as tall as a turret against the sky, suddenly began to crumble. And this final collapse happened to come against a game, fast, desperate team that refused to surrender for a split second—a team that had not only the spirit of Notre Dame’s great- est years, but also one of the best backs that ever carried a triple charge into enemy country on play after play. When vou are falling back and the other fellow is coming on, it doesn’t take long for tie tidal wave to break. Neither Ohio State's first nor second string was seascned enough to stem any such break. or alert enough to muss up a passing game that opened raggedly and finished with well-trained skill. Ohio State still is a fine foot ball team but it will take something now to head off Notre Dame from the Rose Bowl trail, even with Pilney, the four-men-in-one, nursing & torn lig-| ament that may keep him out of action for many weeks. Stopping this inspired Notre Dame team, with Elmer Layden in charge, will be something for Northwestern. Army and Southern California to think about. With Pilney around, there would be no argument.

IGHT-HUNGRY fans of the Dis- trict will be served with a 36- round all-colored card tonight as the | Indoor season is inaugurated at the Lincoln Colonnade. Billy Eley, undefeated in nine pro- fessional starts, will clash with the clever Gene Buffalo in the 10-round main event. Scoring 67 knockouts in winning 114 out of 119 scraps, Eley has taken such prominent pugilists as Georgia Gibbs, Calvin Reed and Phil Mc- Quillan, while Buffalo is remembered for his three bruising battles here with Meyer Rowan, all of which Buffalo won. While Buffalo has scored over Harry Serody and Patsy Wallace in addi- tion to Rowan, Eley is a dangerous puncher who may prove troublesome to the Philadelphia welterweight. A clever boxer who continually keeps most of his opponents off bal- ance, Buffalo usually is content to pile up points,k while weaving and dancing around his enemy. In the semi-final bout. Calvin Reed will meet Baby Kid Chocolate in a scheduled eight-round match, while other bouts list Jack Grant facing Howard Brown, Lem Simon tangling with Johnny Freeman and Bobby Green squaring off with Ted King Action will get under way at 8:30 o'clock, HESSICK COALMEN WIN. Three touchdowns were divided among McMahon. Bryant and Her- bert as the Hessick Coalmen rang up a 20-0 triumph over Delta Phi Sigma Fraternity eleven yesterday. Club He Got in 1911 Favored Over Famed Mashie-Niblick by Wee Scot. T MAY not be the oldest golf club in use around Washing- ton. but it certainly is one of the most deadly. Fred McLeod's keen-bladed little mashie-niblick is the club with which he has attained international fame as a player of bunker shots. but when it comes to potent golf clubs Freddy thinks his ancient wooden-shafted putter is his most lethal weapon. Back in 1911 Freddie picked up a new, shiny Braid-Mills putter, an aluminum - headed weapon which seemed to do well by him. He has carried the little toy along with him down through 24 years of knocking around golf courses on two continents and in innumerable championships. That putter has helped the little Columbia Scot to win several championships, but it wasn't with him when he won the national open crown in 1908. Fred- In the years since 1911 putter styles have changed plenty of times and Fred has gone from wooden- shafted clubs to steel-shafted weap- ons, but he still sticks to his old love when it comes down to the business of getting the ball in the cup. You could change all the clubs in McLeod's bag, including his be- loved mashie - niblick, but you . couldn't wean that putter away from him. He s too good with the darned thing. You hear a lot about Freddie's skill in the white wastes of the bunker, his consistently straight ‘wooden-club play, but you hear lit- tle about his putting. The plain fact of the matter is that that moribund weapon, first fashioned nearly a quarter century ago, funce tions for one of the better putters die was putting with a blade putter then, n anywhere. o ‘The way Freddie bowls in those nerve-testing six-footers is a cau- tion and the faster he putts the better. No looking over the line, surveying it from hole to ball, for Freddie. He simply walks up and taps the ball and the doggoned thing goes into the cup. It's all as simple as that. Pred has shifted back and forth over the last two or three years from wod to steel and he isn't yet sure that steel is the better. He calls the steel-shafted clubs “gas pipes” and insists that steel hasn't yet been made to have the feel of wood. s 8o, when he has an important match on, he will reach up on the shelf in his golf shop-and haul down the old wooden - shafted ‘weapons. His sole permanent concession to modernity is a little shallow-faced spoon, almost s wooden mashie, with which he can make a golf ball sit up and talke Becaus ofiff when cold, Sunoco: Motor Oil always permits starter to SPint the motor then fastfiring snaps your motor into Sunoco-ize YOUr €% - ** lue Sunoco 8 e Fe— “Two-on-One” Club, the an- glers’ counterpart of the golf- ers’ “Hole-in-One” organiza- tion, is being sponsored by the Sports Afield Magazine. Certificates will be issued to fishermen hooking two with one cast where authentic information 1is given them of the catch. No dues, no duties. Two fish on one cast, on one bait, seems unusual, but it happens quite frequently. There are even cases of “three-in-one,” one bass grabbing the lure, another attempting to snatch it and a third mixing in and getting hooked. Imagine yourself with a two-pound- er and a four-pounder on the same ! plug, and your surprise when you brought them up to the boat. (ONE of the oddest “two-in-one” catches was that of a single-bait- ed hook taken in by one fish with the hook passing out through its gills to be grabbed by a second fish, which also was hooked, thersby stringing number one. Another unusual case was that of | a three-pound bass taken on a “river runt” plug. On the way in, a four- pound wall-eyed pike endeavored to take it away from Mr. Bass and found himself also hooked. | many large-mouth ‘W | | | “Double-headers” on brook trout | are quite common where two or three flies are used and they give the trout [fishermen a merry tussle because ‘m‘nhsr fish is hampered by the other. | qTRANGEST of all are the cases of |~ “double-headers” on fishermen, where one fish gathers the bait of two | anglers.

STREAM MILLER \roonafl 25 and thote who also are duck hunters are using their spare time surveying spots for their Fall gunning, which in this section starts November 21. The majority of anglers have packed away their tackle until next Spring, but the dyed-in-the-wool followers of the sport who are not afraid of a little cold weather will have a great time from now until the end of November catching the large and small mouth black bass in fresh water and the gamey rockfish in salt water. All bass streams are in wonderful condition, some perhaps just a little too clear for the best fishing. The Potomac is not green, but indigo, almost black, a sight for sore eyes. In the river below Washington, in Pis- cataway Creek and Gunston Cove bass are caught and Sergt. Richardson at Fort Wash- ington and Capt. Aubrey Shephard at Gunston Cove have plenty boats and live bait for those who wish to try their luck. E DO not hear of many catches of small-mouth bass close to Washington—and son is it is almost impossible to ob- tain a boat between the Little and Great Falls. This section of the Poto- mac is fairly alive with these game- sters. O'Dell Whipple, well-known local sportsman, has been landing his bag limit back of Sycamore Island with great regularity, and Carl Stod- der, a life member of the Sycamore Island Club, tells of wonderful catches and many bass breaking water oppo- site the club house. Following a number of vears of muddy water in the Potomac. when qshing was next to impossible, the sass have increased in large numbers ind today there is no better fishing o be found attle Falls to Great Falls. On a tour of Inspection Thursda ~e found a place just this side of the | Old Anglers Club on Conduit Road that bore a sign, “boats for hire.” There was no one around at the time, 80 we could not get the name. It is the last house on the left-hand side of the road before you reach the old club house. | The water is treacherous in this part of the river and we advise a | guide if you can obtain a boat. Don't | e | the principal rea- | take unnecessary risks. ‘ Judge Willlam S. Snow and Herbert Knight of Alexandria fished off St Jeromes Creek Jast week and landed 26 rockfish, none large, but did not get a blue. We don't advise anglers to seek this species now. It is more or less a hit-or-miss proposition, al- though we do not believe all the blues ever leave the bay waters. Asa matter of fact, we have heard of them being landed hy commercial fishermen in their nets throughout the Winter, but not in large numbers. SMALL or pan-size rockfish are being landed everywhere t Fall in the bay and its tributaries. We received a letter from William Fischer of 515 De- catur street, who sald: “I have been interested in reading sour column on fishing, and in turn thought you might be interested in knowing that a party out with Capt. Tom Henley of North Beach. Md., cently in three hours' trolling cauzht 61 rockfish, averaging from 1 to 2%, pounds.

R. A. Davis and Bernard “Brownie” Ward. W. L.

Mears, He writes that last Wednesday he landed 47 sea trout. Must be plenty down that way. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parker of 1518 Twenty-ninth street have just re- turned from a month’s visit to Miami Beach, Fla. These two anglers take and seldom missed a day on the waters of the Gulf Stream. They landed many sail- fish, five in one day being the biggest catch. The largest weighed 57 pounds and was caught by Mrs. Parker. She said the sailfish came along in large nmbers following the first storm of the Fall season and were everywhere in the Gulf Stream. She also said 4hat the first blues of the Fall season made their appearance off the Florida coast 10 days ago. These anglers were using light tackle and had as their guide Capt.
