CHICAGO, July 26. - Manager
Charley Grimm of the Chicago Cubs
is looking for a fireman-not the
red-helmeted kind but one who can
put out the fires occasionally started
by his major league opposition.
"One good relief pitcher could
make a lot of difference in this

The founder of golf,s richest
competitive attractions, which in

fairs in conjunction with the
money -jammed open, was strictly
neutral concerning the probable
winner.
AS the field teed off on the first I8
holes today the consensus seemed to
be that the firing would develop
into a duel between the favored
Byron Nelson, who has won the
Tam three times in its four-year
history, and 1t. Ben Hogan, on
furlough from the Army Air Forces.
Nelson, who made his last appear
ance in winning the PGA title two
weeks ago, returned to action with
his strained back ready for another
stern test.
Johnny Revolta, the Chicago vet
eran who calls Little Ben" the
forgotten man of golf" said he
wouldn't be ''bit surprised If Hogan
wins it."
Hogan tied the course record with
a blazing 65 earlier this week, but
he philosophically dismissed that

The Cubs came back from their
last Eastern trip in first place-a
jump from fifth-and they've been
doing good job of staying on top,
despite the continued batting slump
of Slugger Bill Nicholson and a
slump by Phil Cavarretta. But in

He's had good pitching from the

Gently out of the hospital after a

couple of excellent jobs. Henry Wyse,
mere youngster compared to the
others, has been almost unstoppable
except in last Sundays debacle when
the last-place Philadelphia Phillies
jumped on him to touch of a To-
run inning.
That's been the trouble" Grimm
said today. When those things hap
pen we don't have the relief pitchers
to stop the attack. We have plenty
of reserves for every other spot, but
we don't have enough pitchers.
Shutouts have been few by the
Cubs this year, the records show.

I'VE have to get the jump on the
other club to win," Grimm said. IF
we don't have a few runs to work
on, we have a hard time stopping

The Cubs have more spirit today

15-Second mark of the first that
caught the Brooklynite off balance
and bowled him over. Ref hit the
deck, rolled nimbly to his knees and
took a nine-count. He obviously
wasn't hurt.
And then Hanbury became
walking punching bag. A few mo-
ments later Ref landed that dyna-
mite left square on Lewis jaw. and
the local boy went into the ropes,
his eyes CLASSY and his knees buck
ling. The bell interrupted the count.
In the second round Hanbury hit
the canvas twice. The first time he
struggled to his feet at the count
of five, and Referee Charley Rey-
nolds held off the raging Ref until
Lewis head was clearer. The next
time Ref caught him with that
left he blasted him clear through
the ropes onto the ring apron. and
Hanbury was hauled back through
the ropes to take nine count.
Easy Target at Finish.
The end came in the third, when
Hanbury, obviously spent and dazed,
was hanging on. Reif shook him
loose, rained blows to the head and
body, and finally applied the fin
isher, a looping left that sank up
to his elbow in Hanbury's solar
plexus. The lad took the count on
his hands and knees, struggling for
breath and shaking blood from his
battered face.
Reif weighed lat, Hanbury tipped
the beam at 1441a.

EN- ROUTE TO BOSTON. July 26.
Still smarting from the two beat
ings given them by Dave Ferriss,
rookie pitching sensation of the
Boston Red Sox, the Mats today
were hoping to get partial revenge
in the three-game series they begin
with the Hub club tomorrow.
The opportunity may come in the
series opener, for the Red Sox, only
game behind the second-place
Mats, are not likely to pull any
punches. Were the situation other
wise, Ferriss probably would be held
until Sunday as crowd lure.
Although Manager Os Bluege has
made no announcement, 1t is be-
lieved Roger Wolff will do the hurl-
ing for the Mats in the first game.
Others apt to go for the Washington
club in the series are Marino Pier
etti and Johnny Niggeling.
Hub Is Unfavorable Spot.
Mickey Haefner probably will be
kept in reserve. Fenway Park has
not been a favorable spot to the
stocky southpaw. In fact, 1t has
not been a favorable spot to the
Washington hurler this season. In
six games there, the Mats have won
but two.
The Red Sox have been rough
playmates for the Mats. In Wash
ington, Joe Cronin's club holds
three-to-two advantage over the
Bluege band.
The Boston series should prove
a rugged test for the Mats. In it,
they will encounter a club vastly
more powerful in attack and on per-
formances in the last two weeks
their equal on the pitching hill. If
the Mats are to come out of the set
still in second place, they must take
two of the three games at least.
Have Plenty Of Worries.
Washington now has more than
the Boston club to stave off. Chi
cagos White Sox are in easy strik-
ing distance of the runnerup spot
and so are New York's Yankees and
St. Louis champion Browns. The
White Sox and the Browns appear
ready to make plenty of trouble, but
probably the Yanks are not to be
feared greatly.
Today, the Mats were to stop in
New London for an exhibition with
the Navy nine at the submarine
base. Bert Shepard, one-legged
former Army air hero, was likely to
do part of the pitching against the
Sailors, while Buddy Lewis, recent
ly released from the Army Air
Transport Command. was expected
to be back in the outfield with the
Washington club after an absence
Of more than three seasons. B. K.
