The trouble is that no one as yet

place. Of Red Rufing in the seventh
inning and all Pat had to do was hold
the Giants scoreless and wait a typical
Yank outburst that would give him q
lead and the distinction of not only
winning in series but ending one.
In the seventh inning he set
them down 1-2-3. In the eighth
he did 1t again. In the ninth he
only faced three hitters.EsHe
even opened the Yank p;nth
with . single, but he got nd ZIP
from his slugging mates.
Then. to start the tenth, Moore hit
ball that landed at the feet Of Jake
Powell and bounced weirdly over his
shoulder and into the stands for q
ground-rule double. 1t was tough
break, but Malone resolutely faced
Terry, after Bartell had sacrificed.
The count went to two-and-two. He
whipped over o curve and Bill Dickey
started to roll 1t under-hand back to
the box. It looked to be perfect
third strike. But Umpire Cy Pfrman
called it o ball and the Yanks pro-
tested. It was no use.

Of base balls annual classic.

GRIMM GIVEN FREE

~HICAGO, October 6.-Manager
Charlie Grimm Of the Chi
Z cago Cubs looked forward to-

K. Wrigley that he'll have free hand
in rebuilding the team which failed
to retain its National League cham
pionship and lost four straight games
to the White Sox in city series COM
petition.
Wrigley said Grimm would remain
as manager and that I'VE intend to
give him a better team, instead of
expecting a new manager to accom-
plish miracle with the present ma
terial." He added he believed Grimm
did the best he could with the club
this past season.
Il have informed Grimm he has
my consent to trade any member of
the Cub team in the process of re-
building" Wrigley said. Doubtless
there are several, especially among
the pitchers, he'll want to retain. But
If he wants to trade the man he con-
S1ders our greatest star for another
star he'd rather have, he has my ap-
proval I do not make a single ex-
ception in this sweeping decision"
He said cash would be forthcoming
speedily If needed to improve the club
adding that "those of the 1885 Cubs
who do come back will fnd the
team less of Q haven for contented
bali players"
Grimm will attend the minor league
meeting In Montreal December 3-5
and then angle for talent at the major
league convention In New York De-
cember TO. The Cubs are seeking
first baseman and likely will make
strong bid for Rip Collins, expected
to be put on the block by the st. Louis
Cardinals in the latters search for
pitchers.
