The three players who came the Cubs jn exchange for Grantham, second baseman; Vic dridge, pitcher, and First Ba rt aus, a former Association pla er, a dependable left-hand pite “Rabbit” Maranville, a steady sec- ond sacker nd C. y Grimm, a high class first baseman, in weel us the club was weak in these positions. Grimm plugs the hole at figst bas for the first time since the passing of Ray Grimes, who was sent to the Pacific coast. With Maranville at the Keystone sack and acting as field leader, the infleld has a stability it has not had In recent years. Mar- anville is a good batter and is rated as one of the best second bLascmen in the gue. The addition of Cooper gives the club the services of onc of the best southpaws in the game, Charles Hollocher, shortstop, who was sick last year, says he' will bo able to return to his old position He has been spending to George Al- man Soutuern considered parently is in good condit dent Veeck said. Hollocher granted permission to ecscape training trip to Catalina Island. Barney Friberg, who suffered a broken leg last season, which forced him into retirement, has fully re- d. He is one of the best third ckers in the league. Thd Cubs also obtained Clarke A. Pittinger, & rangy infielder from the coast icague, and he may be {nserted at short or even at third, if it is de- cided to shift Friberg to the outfield, This move would give the club a ard hitting outfiel the clean- up type a man President Veeck has been seeking since the close of last season. Pittenger formerly was a member of the Boston Red Sox. “Sparky” Adams, diminutive short- stop, also is available for the inner defense. In case Friberg is sent to center field the Cubs will have one of the best outflields in the leaguc.

In the closing minutes of play, however, he and Clint Lawson broke | loose, Bradley getting one basket nd Clint following it within & frae- ion of a minute with two hair-rais- ers, but the whistle put an end to the brace, Jacobl’s keen eye kept the Belvi- dere team in Ahe lead, while Wessels | also ved a fast offensive game. |The Scouts divided honors pretty !evenly, all playing a much better game than before and all breaking into the scoring, but their ragged shooting offset some pretty pass- {work.
