Grimm Conservative
As Cubs Backers
Dream Of Flag
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 10. Pennant
dreams are bothering a lot of Chi-
cago fans as the Cubs come home
for a 23-game stand in Wrigley
Field a game ahead of the National
League pack. But Manager Charley
Grimm is thinking about details.
Now if the pitching had been
just a little tighter" Grimm
unused as he studied the records Of
the Cubs 13 wins in 16 games on
the Eastern trip just ended. The
wins, including an unbroken string
of 10, helped the Cubs to overcome
a five and one-half-game deficit and
pass Brooklyn.
The hitting was good. Bill
Nicholson is rapping the ball again.
We should have won two more"
But Grimm wouldn't suggest that
his Cubs are shaping up another
race that may wind up like that Of
1885, when Chicago edged out st.
Louis down the stretch to win the
pennant.
He was more worried about
whether Brooklyn could overcome
the Cardinals at st. Louis in series
starting July 81.
If Brooklyn can take the Cards
at home, we may have a chance"
he said, without amplifying the
statement.
He did have plenty of praise for
the way the Cubs played ball on
this Eastern trip that put them on
top Of the league, however.
II had to use only five pinch
hitters Ia 16 games" he said. We
lost two to Brooklyn by scores OF
6 to 5 and 5 to 4 that we should
have won, but I can't see where q
change would have helped"
Apparently. Grimm's biggest
worry was whether the Cubs could
keep up the pace at home they hit
while on the road. The Cubs open
their 23-game home stand Thurs
day against Boston, the team they
shut out in a series after the Braves
had knocked off the Cardinals In an
entire series. They then meet New
York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia in
succession.
But now if the Cubs can keep on
hitting" he said.S --.
He had something there, too. The
Cubs sluggers not only turned In
that 24-2 shellacking of Boston, but
their batting average, exclusive of
pitchers, was 1858 in l6 games.
To shove that figure up were such
averages as Stan Hacks .446. Pea
nuts Lowrey's .391; Phil CAVIAR
retta's .448, Len Merullo's ,3el, and
Don Johnsons $50.

Thomas, Tennis Rook
Gets Second Crown
Within ; Days
BY ANN CLINE.

Two District championships with
in three days after only one year
Of tennis! That's the record that
Gerry Thomas, 15-year- -old student
at Wilson High. holds today after
winning both the boys and junior
division singles titles in The Stars
City OF Washington Tournament.
Gerry captured the junior crown
yesterday when he defeated Roger
Spencer, former student at Be-
thesda who now plays at Edgemoor,
8L6, 63. Last Saturday he won
the boys title by whipping Bob
Davis of Deal Junior High without
yielding a single game.
Thomas proved throughout the
tournament that steadiness, con-
sistency and calmness are telling
factors. He isn't, OF course, an ex-
perienced player. because any vet
eran tenniser will tell you that 1t
takes four or hye years-sometimes
longer-before you learn any Of the
real tricks of the game, but Gerry
has caused those in the know to
comment that he has the makings
of future District champ.
Gerry moved into an early lead
in the first set by taking two
straight games. Then the boys al
ternated until the sixth, where
Roger won his second In q row In q
game that was deuced four times. to
make 1t . all. In the next four
games the players won their own
serves and 1t wasn't until the 18th
that Spencer got a short-lived lead.
Thomas tied 1t up again at 6 all
after winning out in twice -deuced
game. Then he put the set In the
bag by annexing two games.
Leads changed back and forth In
the second set through the sixth
game, when Roger evened 1t up at
all. After that, Spencer got wild,
driving a lot Of balls into the net,
and Thomas took the next three
games and the match.

NEW YORK, July 10. - Tommy
Holmes of Boston and Tony Cucci-
nello of the Chicago White Sox still
were the major leagues leading
batsmen today but the weather was
cooling off the ancient American
League veteran ,slicing his lead to
a single point.
The 37-year-old "Cooch" dropped
of 13 points to .328 and was in
danger Of losing his lead to Wash

up to .327.
Only four hitters in the American
League are over the 300 mark, the
other two being Vern Stephens OF
the ST. Louis Browns, .3l8. and
George Stirnweiss OF the New York
Yankees, .30s.
There was no hit famine in the
National League where Holmes con-
secutive game streak reached 81 and
his average scared to .4o1. There

Chicago showed the way with the

ter scored Wally Moses with the
winning score of Paul Derringer in
the extra frame after Bill Nichol-
son hit a disputed drive which the
Cubs claimed entered the stands
and had been knocked out by a fan.
The White Sox played the ball,
holding Nicholson to double and
the umpires upheld them.
Vice President Harry Grabiner Of
the White Sox said the official Chi
cago receipts couldn't be calculated
for few days but he was sure the
proceeds, to be divided between the
National War Fund and the Red
Cross, would exceed $4,000.

DAYTON, Ohio, July l0-The
country's top-drawer play for pay"
golfers were asking each other two
questions today as they breezed into
the second 18-hole qualifying round
of the PGA championship over Mo-
raine Country Clubs rolling, rugged
terrain. The questions were:
Can we catch Denny Shutter"
and How is Byron Nelson's back?'
Shute, gray-haired and 40, posed
the first question yesterday as he
ripped the layout apart with a

the pack at the halfway mark. The

into the lead.
Nelson, the Toledo umbrella man,
