It is entirely probable, according to followers of the national game, that this same deal' will make a contender of the Cubs, with Grimm at first and the veteran, but able, Maranvillo at second. Return of Charley Hollocher, recognized as one of the greatest shortstops in the league, will give the Chicago- ans an excellent infleld ‘and one that should rank high in batting averages. Wilbur Cooper, a left- handed pitcher, is expected to add strength in a comparatively weak department. 7.~=Unshaken by u demon- FROM RING, WINS ON FOUL iJoe Zickmund Gives Rough Exhibition and “Ed” is Badly Cut, Bitten and Scratched- Bhidago, Feb, 7.-—8d.
