For Nationals Today
Bv CHARLEs DUNKLEY

By CHARLl
DETROIT, Oct. 3.@R-The
Charles John Grimm, the inspirir
ant Cubs.
The leather-faced Grimm was
ing with boyish ENTHUSIASM as he
into their steam-heated dressing ]
Grimm dropped YEARLY onto
over what had happened.
cts a nice, cold day to get nj
he launched into complimentary
troit hurler.
"Newhouser had good stuff, b
explained. Don't take it away 1rol
Grimm said the turning point
of the game came in the first in
ming when Phil Cavarretta, Cub
first baseman, beat out a roller to
second baseman Eddie Mayo with
two out.
eff Cavarretta is called out, that
makes it rough for u.s." Charley
declared.
Grimm said he would start
Hank Wyse, 23-game winner,
against the Tigers tomorrow, ex-
planning he wanted Wyse to work
as early as possible because he
might go stale with too much rest.
The noisiest and gabbiest of all
the Cubs was the 65-year-old train
err, DR.. Andrew Hemingway Lot
shaw, serving his 25th year as club
conditioner. The be-spectacled Lot
shaw, with his uppers and lowers
in his hip-pocket, began yelling
for his bricks. Where are them
bricks" he screamed. "Get me
them bricks, I'll need them to-
morrow
Lotshaw explained he had soaked
two huge paving bricks in hot
water while the Cubs were on the
field, so that Borowy could keep
warm between innings. Andy plac-
ed one of the bricks on the pitch
er's right arm and showed the other
under his feet while the Cub right
handler huddled on the bench try
ing to keep warm.
In Chicago, the pitchers are pro-
vided with electrically heated
coats.
Roy lizard Rock) Johnson, one Of
Grimm's able coaches, had the
dressing room Misunderstanding privil-
eyes. First, he walked ov to Bill
Nicholson to congratulate him on
his screeching triple in the first
inning which missed being home
run by few inches. Then johnson
went around to every other mem
Der of the club, shaking hands and
repeating: Mice work, buddy
boy"
Red Smith, boss of the Cub bull
pen, with a big, fat cigar between
his teeth, declared: THAT licking
those guys took, will take lot out
Of them"
Borowy, weary after tanning the
Tigers, quietly accepted the con-
gratulations Of his mates, grin
ming with appreciation for their
sharp and brilliant fielding.
''I'm dead tired" was the ex-
Yankees only comment.
Across the way in the Tiger club
house the gloom wasn't quite as
thick as the steam from the show
ers.
Nobody offered any excuses,
from Manager Steve O'Nein right
down.
'They just beat us. Well be bet.
ter tomorrow, I hope" O'Neill said
calmly from his wired-in cubby-
hole of a dressing room.
"The Cubs just hit better than
our fellows. Tomorrow's another
day and maybe Virgil Trucks can
do better job Of stopping them. -
Weary looking Catcher Paul
Richards, peeling off his socks,
looked up long enough to an
nounce: eve didn't guarantee to
beat 'em in four games"
eve were bad," Hank Green
berg added, ripping strip of adhe'
sive tape from his bad right ankle.
'Borowy was cratic and I thought
we'd get him until he got that sew
en-run lead. Of course he settled
down after that. We just couldn't
get started"
Eddie Mayo, thrown out by
plenty trying to advance two bases
on Greenberg's line drive single
to center in the fifth inning, could
not deal out enough regard Tor the
throwing arm Of Chicago's center
fielder Andy Pafko.
81 didn't have a chance. Thai
4 throw came up to third like it was
out of a cannon.
Roy Cullenbine, who went hitless'
gave the bulk of the credit te
Borowy for the Cub victory. HE
pitched a beautiful game; he hac
good stuff and he kept it."
Hal Newhouser, who departed
early after yielding eight hits
the first is Chicago batters, ex
planned his sad fate dejectedly.
81 have no excuses" the lear
1efthander said. ''We were off to q
bad start and couldn't do anything
about it. I felt good and had plenty
| of stuff. j..
s'We could have got out OF il
very easily in the first and thire
| when the Cubs scored all those
runs.
cts the first time this year I've
been scored on in the first inning
