The Athletics crushed his club, win

disappointment of William Wrigley,
owner of the team, was SO great that
he let Mccarthy go before the 1880

n yEW YORK, September 28.-
M One of the "unknowns" of
l Y Connie Mack's famous
freshman class of 1916,
now graduated into a big league
managership, will lead the Cubs
into the world series.
It was way back there when
Mack was seeking far and wide
for young blood with which to
reconstruct his self-diSmantled
Athletics that Charley Grimm
spent a season on the Philadel-
phia bench.
Bench" is used f1guratively, for there
were so many freshmen that year
Connie didn't have enough uniforms,
and many hopefuls had to sit in the
grandstand awaiting a wigwag signal
from Mack to come down and get in
the game.
Grimm's first contact with major
league BAN, though was as pop ven-
der in Sportsman's Park, st. Louis,
while in his very early teens. Big Ed
Konetchy, Cardinal first baseman, was
his idol, and Grimm gives credit to
Konetchy and Branch Hickey for early
tutoring that made him one of the
niftiest fielding first sackers the game
has known.
The off-feld talents of Jolly Cholly"
are probably more diverse and extern
sive than those Of any big Lacquer. He
is adept at mechanics, at painting
either barns or canvases, could get by
in vaudeville as an entertainer with
banjo, guitar, harmonica or piano, and
is a first-class amateur r-estidigitator.
He owns magician's paraphernalia
to the value Of about $780, and his
huge banjo, favorite musical instrument,
cost him $3.50. His singing voice is far
superior to the average shower room
baritone" that -esounded in Cub dress
ing rooms so often during their sensa-
tional pennant drive.
Along with these talents, Der Kap-
tink'' is very much family man, proud
of the part his wife has played in
''stabilizing" him and aiding his dia-
mond career. He was married in Pitts
burgh in 1922, and he has 7-year-old
daughter.
Charley's brief apprenticeship with
the Athletics was served when he was
only II years old. There followed a
season with Durham in the North Caro-
lima League and two seasons with Little
Rock, Ark, under st. Louis Cardinal
auspices, before he was picked up by
the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Grimm remained with Pittsburgh
through 1924. when Manager Bill Nc
Kechnie traded him. along with Rabbit
Maranville and Wilbur Cooper, to Chi
cago for Vic Aldridge, Bert Niehaus
and George Grantham
With the Cubs, for whom Charley
has played his best ball. he was hon.

PROVED POISONOUS
T0A'SLAST YEAR
Chapman May Inject a Shot

Current Classic.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

YEW YORK, September 28.-
M Base running has been
/ Y almost ignored in an
alyzing this Yankee Cub
world series. After the lesson
taught last year it would seem
that more attention might be
paid to it, but the popular mind
is attuned to batting.
That was the case in 1881.
When two fans met on the corner
prior to the Philadelphia St
Louis world series and began to
ldiscusS it, with others entering
1.-THE argument, the gathering al
most invariably broke up with
the boys agreeing that the Ath-
'letics had "the old SOCK"
But it was base running that started
the landslide which sent the Athletics
ITO defeat year ago. Their nemesis
was Pepper Martin, who batted valor-
ously and ran bases like a scared cayuse
Speed in base ball is priceless but
speed doesn't always mean good base
running. Steal second or third in the
world series at the time when it starts a
run on the way and it is as good as a
single. 1t changes the position play of
the fielders and gives more concern to
the pitcher.
TNHEN Martin got away with that
w first steal of third base in 1881
the st. Louis players were not
positive that Mickey Cochrane was a
little wild in his throwing. but when
they tried some more and discovered
that he couldn't cut them down as he
had in the past, they took more edge off
first base and were ready to run any,
thing to the limit
There is one player on the New York
team who can keep Gabby Hartnett, the
Chicago catcher, bobbing around like
frying doughnuts in hot lard. His name
is Ben Chapman. He is the only natural
base stealer on both teams Kiki Cuyler
is fast and has good stolen-base rec
ord to his credit, but he hasn't the cum
ming, the adeptness, the oily way of get
ting away from bases that is Chapman's
by natural skill.

Yankees there is none who is as likely
to put little oil of Martin into the
games ss Chapman. Maybe he will

COLLECTIVELY, the Cubs are feeter
~ than the Yankees, but Chicago
hasn't one player who is so likely
to upset the equilibrium Of any one
game rs Chapman.
- Until 1881. base running in recent
years had not been given much scien-
tific attention in world series games
Teams had resorted to an attempt to
bludgeon their way through, beginning
about 1922. Players had fallen into the
habit of believing that the bat was the
mightiest thing on the ball field and
managers lost some Of their faith in
one of the best arts of base ball-base
running.
Last year Martin may have stolen
third base under instructions from
Gabby Street, but Street says he gave
Martin his own option of the methods
that he should use when he started to
scoot to fame. That put the Athletics
squarely on the defensive and they
failed to recover their poise in that par
ticular game, nor did they regain the
confidence they had in Cochrane before
the series began.
