Cubs Finally Find Place for Dean; Wilson Hasn't Caught on in Chicago; Charley Grimm May
 Return as Pilot

Things aren't any brighter for the Cubs this trip, and that is when Philip K. Wrigley usually thinks about making a change.
 Washington continues to rule the waves. Of the nine crews in the varsity race at Poughkeepsie, six were coached by Washington grad uates.
 The non- Washington drill-masters were Hube Glendon of Columbia, New Ten Eyck Of Syracuse and Allen Walz of Wisconsin.
 Yale obtained the jump on Har- yard years back by importing Ed Leader of Washington, and the Crimson didn't catch up until they brought jr Tom BolleS from the same institution. Pennsylvania, little Marietta on the Ohio and other schools sporting shells are guided by Washington men.

 Cubs finally have found spot for Dizzy Dean and his $i85,000 worth Of bum arm.
 It is in the third base coacb's box, where the Once Great Man can help the customers forget Charley Grimm, who became quite a card through clever clowning. Dean can cut up bit himself, though he may not be as subtle as old ChoIly. Grimm went to Milwaukee as vice. president and manager in a new Chicago tie-up, and 1t wouldn't Sur- prise some people on the north side if the switch was prelude to his return to Wrigley Field as head man.
 Grimm was tremendously popu- lar. There was regret all along the line when he was kicked out three years ago.
 Jimmy Wilson, on the other hand has not caught on too well in Chi cago. Though he was the 40-year- old hero of the world series last fall, Wilson, the manager. suffers in compsrison with the coIorful Jimmy Dykes of the American League side.
 The Cubs dropped S23O,OOO last year, which Is precisely what the White Sox made.

Hamilton, St. Thomas
 Teams Break Even

Hamilton Park Old Timers and St. Thomas parish quoit pitchers tossed the metal to an even Ste phen decision last night, each team winning eight games and with good prospects of meeting again later in the summer. Hugo Lange, the hand. some horn-swoggler from Harwln. ton, was the star performer of the meet with five ringers to his credit for the Hamparks, including Q dou- ble ringer, with 2l ringers made during the entire match, which Is class quoits anywhere at any time.
 Bashful Barney Burns was good for 3 ringers, Roller got 3 and Law ley and Merriman two each, with Stanton, Merriman, Shea, Blacker, Shove, Creem, Harvey and Shove one each.
 In the "45" competition, Jim Cliff ford's Hamparks won while Nell sons St. Thomas lads took the set- back play from their utterly con- fused rivals from the eastern sec- tion of our fair city.

 maine; Brown Wins

Not only did Wlcky Harklns Of Philadelphia fight himself into an even stephen standing with frv. ing Kay Kaplan of Los Angeles, when he clearly outpolnted Rap. Ian last night at Randolph.C Cloves stadium, but, by his ability to ah- sorb punishment and come back with 6 winning spurt In the clos. Ing rounds, the tonato-faced frlsf- man from the city of Brotherly Love established himself as Q prime local favorlte, who may meet Carl Dell of New York on the next Waterbury A. Q. outdoor offering In two weeks.
 Tn three Connecticut showings, two of them in Waterbury, Har- kins, managed and handled by Good Time Charley Bennett of New York, has defeated Ernie Cat Robinson, Jimmy Leto and Kaplan which Is pretty good punching in anybody's league.
 As usual, Harkins took the worst of the early going against Kaplan, who won 6 nod from the Irlshcr on the Baer-LouIs card in Wash- ington, but, he came on like the proverbial house aflre, to outpoint Kaplan with Q solid body beating which had the Jewish boy holding on during the latter part of the battle. Against Robinson, Harkins also took Q pasting, but was going strongest of the two at the finish Of the fight. And he defeated Leto with surprising ease.
 Wlcky Wins Easily
 Solid right hand smaShes to the body and head slowed Kaplan down to walk in the last three rounds, SO that Harkins won going away, though the Los Angeles Hebrew was 6 0 to s choice to win over Wicky tho Walloper who Is dead game and can take a punch with tho best welterweights fin the bust. ness There was but a half pound difference between the pair, liar. kins sealing i46 l-2; Kaplan i48.
 Harry Bauman of New York last cd to the fifth round against Earl RoyS O. Bristol, but was stopped by the Bell City bantamwcight in the fifth, after Q hard fourth round in which Bauman got oil the worst of the going from Roys, who, with Harkins shared the best perform. ance honors Of the evening. Roys weighed ii8, Bauman, il6.
 Other Results
 Waterburys Billy Brown out pointed Felix Morales of Puerto Rico in Q six rounder while Oliver White of New York proved a fine substitute by easily defeating the supposedly classy Leo Dulmaine of Worcester which followed the Har- kins-Kaplan number. White used Q series of left hooks and right up- percuts that had Dulmaine weary long before the last round.
 In the opener, Lee Hogan of New Haven, i42, defeated dobly Puline of Bristol without too much trou- blc.
 About 1900 paid admissions were counted for the show which was twice postponed. Next offering goes Thursday, July 10th.

 BASEBALL HAS NO
 PLACE FOR RUTH
 Ruth would like some sort of baseball assignment, but tho pro. fessional game he helped save has been unable to find Q place for him. Just why Is one of those mysteries that probably never will Dc solved, Baseball owes more to Ruth than to any other individual. It was his tremendous feats that made the public quickly forget the Black Sox scandal or lU20
