CUBS TO COOL OFF BEFORE BIG
 DEALS BEGIN
WrigIey Has FOur-POint Plan - Wants Minor
 Loop Agreement
BY ERNEST BARCELIA

Limited Press Statk COrreSpOnuentD
 Chicago, Oct. 12-(UP)-Manager Gabby Hartnett was told to "cool down" today by Chicago Cub Owner Phil Wrigley, who laughed at re" ports that the National league championship club would undergo a wholesale shakeup.
 Hartnett, bitterly disappointed by the Cubs four straight losses to the New York Yankees in the World Series, returned home Mon- day night ready to trade or sell any, body on the team except Pitchers Bill Lee, Clay Bryant and Dizzy Dean and Third-basennan Stan Hack.
 "Gabby was in to see me-" Wrig- ley said, land we're going to cool down before we do anything. From all reports, apparently the whole club was traded off except four players, which is ridiculous. You can't trade off 90 of the 40 or 4l players on the roster"
 The youthful chewing gum mil- lionaire said that he was working on a new arrangement with the minor leagues SO that the Cubs could acquire young talent in @ way beneficial to both parties" It would resemble the present system Of working agreements that most major league clubs have with minor league teams.
 You can't buy team" he said. You've got to develop men. I'd like to see a little faster turnover in young players. There's no sense in keeping them on the bench all year and not using them. You might as well have them in the minor leagues where you can develop them and find out whether they are major league material or not"
 Wrigley outlined several of the points in his plan for next years club as follows: ...
 1. Gabby Hartnetts contract will be renewed for only one year.
 2. Deals will be made to strength en the club.
 3. Tony Lazzeri will be offered a place in the Cubs organization.
 4. A new minor league arrange ment to develop young players.
 Wrigley explained that no signifi- canoe could be attached to @ oile- year contract for Hartnett "be- cause that's as long as any of our contracts run"
 Lazzeri. who was signed as player coach after l2 years with the Yankees, may not be with the tear1 itself, but Wrigley said If ne wants to stay with us we'll have @ place for him in our organization. ] can't say what his position would be, but I'd like to have him with usU

statement from the Health De
partment, showing decrease in
the death rate for the week ending

A total Of 237 births and 139
