Terranova of New York, striving

Grimm Back as Cub Monoger
JubiIanf Fans
Hail His Return
BY BOB MEYER

CHICAGO, May 6. CUP)-"Good-
time Charley" Grimm. happy-go-
lucky. banjo-playing manager OF
the Chicago Cubs from 1882 TO
1888. prepared Saturday for his
dramatic return to the job from
which he was fired almost six years
ago.
AS jubilant Cub fans hailed his
return to the floundering Cubs,
the handy legged Grimm remained
at his post as manager OF the
Milwaukee Brewers TO await the
arrival of Casey Stengel, former
Boston Braves pilot, who has agreed
to take over Grimm'S Milwaukee
lob in the Cub organization.
Philip K. Wrigley, chewing-gum

once admitted that his firing OF
Grimm was big mistake, made his
formal come back, all is forgiven
offer Friday, although 1t was be-
lieved that he and Grimm had
reached a previous agreement by
telephone.
The coy Cub front office had
made no announcement that the
Grimm switch was definite, how
ever, but Grimm himself indicated
that he had accepted Wrigleys Of
fer. Terms of the offer also We're
withheld.
It appeared that only the sign
ing of the contract remains to make
the action final and bring back
der captink" to the team he led
to two pennants in six years.
The Cubs managerial muddle be-
gan Monday when Jimmy Wilson
resigned in the wake of a 10 game
losing streak. Roy Johnson, coach,
was named acting manager, and
added another defeat Wednesday.
