Jack Grimm is no longer connected
With the Petersburg club, The Peters
burg people state that Grimm had
nothing invested In the club and that
he simply relinQuished to them all
claim he had in the franchise.
The league magnates turned the
franchise over TO Grimm for the reason
that he wac believed to be the best
man to handle il. He did not make a
big success with the Petersburg club,
however, and seemed willing enough to
drop out,
Another reason Tor Grimms giving
mp the franchise Is that he did not fee
like investing the cash in a new parh
for the Coolers He thought IL best
to let the Petersburg people take W
the matter and build their own base
ball plant.
Mr.. Finne, who represented Peters
burg ut the recent meeting of the mag
