will be held here until after the

The Lions last night dropped 6-5

Lefty Grove announced his retire

for whom Yawkey sent $l50,000 and
player to Washington, says he will

only Jimmy Foxx of the original
Gold Sox" and Jimmy is limping
around with a broken toe while a
youngster named Ulysses Lupien
from Louisville tries to win his first
base job from him.
Fresh, Young Blood Needed.
If both Cronin and Foxx remain
on the bench, it means the Sox
have lost a great part Of the terrific
batting punch that enabled them
to finish second to the Yankees in
the American League last year. Be
tween them they knocked in exactly
200 runs, and no team can lose that
without feeling 1t. But Cronin
reasons, logically, that If the Yanks
ever are to be licked 1t will have
to be by fresh, young blood, and
this Is as good time as any to
give it try.

q little at third base in training

take over. Frisking around short

safely can pick himself out a spot ON
the bench. They are not so certain
about Lupien, who hit only 2s9 at
