Best Lock HANDICAPPED BY DODGERS ROOKLYN, May ~ Burleigh Grimes won 21 games for Brook: lyn in 1928. He was one of the dozen or so pitchers to get into the 20 fig- ure class, Incidentally he was the best gunner on the Robinson staff. Grimes has been with the Dodgers six seasons. He came to the club from Pittsburg in 1918. He was traded along with Ward and Mamaux for Stengel, Cutshaw and cash. Grimes had previously been on the Pittsburg roster two years. In the half dozen campaigns Grimes has toiled for the City of Churches he has hung up an enviable record, In tho three of those seasons he turned in better than 20 victories, generally figured as a good perform. ance in these days of lively baseballs and heavy hitting. In another campaign he missed the coveted mark by one game; tn still anoother ho was only four tilts shy. Thus in five of six seasons with Brooklyn he has either hit or came close to hitting the 20-ame standard. Grimes had his best year in 1918, the season Brooklyn got the tall lad, Grimes grabbed 19 victories againat but nino defeats, In 1920 he was the big noise in bringing the Dodgers their first pennant. He won 23 and lost 11, Brooklyn took two frays in the world series with Cleveland that fall, Grimes won one of them, Were Grimes with a onetwothree ogeregation his hurling performance would be even more formidable, | and Colwoo Fo eile Not Star AMBLED up m Derb t risk te > on Ol G winter t Jame mated b 000 was and Sarazen withdrawn. 8t led Wise Counsellor was 6 to 1 in t James 15 to 1.
