less of efficiency is an nnpardon-
able sin in the eyes of the dyed in

NEW YORK. May Cot doesn't
take gossip columnist to detect the
honeymoon is over for the Giants and
that from now on they are going to
find life extremely real and earnest in
the National League.
The news became community prop
erty during the last three days, with
the first Eastern visit of the Chicago
Cubs. The Cubs impressed everybody
within eye and earshot as more bel
ligerent, dangerous crew than they had
been pictured in yarns from the West,
while the Jints showed unmistakable
symptoms of coming down to earth
losing the three-game series to the
Chicagos.
One thing is certain, at least: The
Terrymen are not going to make a
runaway as long as the Chicago entry
continues to fight and fume like it
did at the Polo Grounds. Charley
Grimm. furthermore, still is the boss
of the outfit, and he's acting madder
than Donald Duck most of the time.

and rabid Giants rooters longed to
applaud any signs Of dissention among
the brass hats. They we're disappoint-
ed. Gabby Hartnett. the big catcher
is handling the Cubs pitchers on the
field and waving in the relief men from
the bull pen, but otherwise Grimm is
the works.
He demonstrated that pretty con-
clusively when he jerked the clouting
Tony Lazzeri right out Of the lineup
after the first game of the Giants
series. Neither is he getting any back
talk from Dizzy Dean, who is more
tractable than Frankie Frisch would
believe.

front of the dugout the other day and
tossed a couple Of balls to teammate
before somebody noticed him and yelled
to Grimm. "Cut It," said Charlie in
a quiet voice. and Dizzy did without
a word of argument. Diz. incidentally,
blames the cool weather for the failure
of his $l85, 900 arm to regain its zing.
