In its monthly race held at their club house on Stock Island a large crowd witnessed two flips and one runaway boat. The first of the excitement came be- fore the race when a “B” Florida Family boat driven by Ray Scho- neck got out of control and threw its driver. The first flip of the af- | ternoon came in the second heat of the “B” Hydros when Cecil Cates hit the water. Mr. Cates was com- Pleting his 4th lap for first place when the mishap came. The second flip came in the “Free-for-all” when Bascom Grooms hit a buoy on the turn. He was then in second place and FIRST RACE Winner—James A. Pilgrim’s Red & White B., April, 1949.

RATLIFF DALLAS #—Phil Cavarretta and | the Chicago Cubs parted company | after 20 years today and another former Chicago baseball idol—Stan Hack—stepped in as manager. Cavarretta, a star player for 17 years but unable to win as man- ager in two full seasons, was re- lieved of his post here yesterday after the Cubs had dropped their 15th spring exhibition game in 20 starts, It was the first managerial change in the major leagues this year. Wid Matthews, director of play- ing personnel of the Chicago organ- ization, told Cavarretta he was to change places with Hack, who has been manager of the Los Angeles club in the Pacific Coast League. Cavarretta balked and said he would seek a major league con- nection elsewhere. Matthews .insisted that Phil wasn’t fired but Cavarretta had a different view. ‘‘I come home and get fired,” he said sadly. He now lives in Dallas and operates a children’s amusement park here. Matthews gave no reason for the action other than that it was “for the good of all concerned.” But at Phoenix, Ariz., Phil K. Wrigley, owner of the Cubs, said, “This year when he picked everyone but us to finish in the first division, he was licked before he started. He said he did not have the kind of ball- players he wanted. He had sort of given up on the boys, so to speak, feeling that they were not pennant material. Well, maybe not, but they could be with the will to win.” Hack, who is flying to Shreve- port to take over as manager to- morrow when the Cubs arrive there to play the Baltimore Orioles, came in a two length winner over | Viking Panther to pay a 11.80, 4.60 and 8.40. Viking Panther re- turned 9.00 and 5.20 while Bogota paid 7.20 for his third place per- formance, ——— SURF WROTECTED AG SPECIAL TONIGHT MOTEL CU INST INC Pilot surprised that he had been picked, “All I can say is that I'm going to pick up where Phil left off,” Hack declared. “I will add this: it is wonderful to get back to Chicago where I spent ay entire major league career.’ | Matthews said Cavarretta was offered the same salary at Los Angeles that he was receiving from the Cubs and that he would | be paid his full 1954 salary although refusing to go to the Pacific Coast League club. “I was really shocked,” Cavar-| retta said at his home here. “Mat- | thews told me right after the ball. game, He just said Stan was com- ing in to take over the ball club. | And if I wanted to stay with the Cub organization, I could take over Los Angeles. I just couldn’t see go- ing out to Los Angeles. I thought I had done a good job with the ma- terial I had. So I get fired in spring | training.” Cavarretta, 37, became manager | of the Cubs in midseason of 1951, replacing Frank Frisch. His club | was fifth in 1952 and seventh last year. Hack, 47, finished his play- ing career in 1947 and managed Des Moines in the Western League and Springfield, Mass., in the In-| ternational League before going to! Los Angeles.
