Bill jurges Big Surprise Chicago

New York, July 25-(UP)-Man- ager Charley Grimm, whose Chica- go Cubs are defending the National League pennant with increasingly higher hopes, today predicted a three-team fight all the way to the wire with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
 Jolly Cholly, a likeable Dutchman whose attributes include the south- paw playing of the banjo, has opened quite a few eyes to the width of surprise recently as his Cubs surged toward the front. Fortunes may ebb and flow in the next few weeks but in the sprint down the home stretch he is convinced that his Cubs will be a growing factor.
 Two rockies and veteran on whom two clubs gave up provide much of the basis for Grimm's con- fidence.
 Jurges Great Help
 The rockies are outfielder Mary Rickert and first baseman Eddie Witkus and the veteran is 38-year- old Billy Jurges, who came back to the same team for which he starred a decade ago.
 "Waitkus and Rickert are real finds" the wiry-haired pilot said. "Eddies marvellous work enables me to keep Bill Cavarretta in the outfield."
 While Waitkus helped in that manner, Rickert has strengthened an outfield which wobbled badly when Bill Swish Nicholson was benched because of poor hitting. The outfield problem also has les sened for the stretch battle with the return of young Andy Pafko.
 A sturdy Wisconsin farm boy, Pafko has returned to duty after being out since June 1. He suf- fered a sprained ankle when he stepped On a ball during batting practice and his absence was cost ly, for young Andy is fleet fielder with a good arm and comes through often In the clutch.
 Outshines Rockies
 The real surprise of the year for the Cubs, however, is not rookie or one of the younger stars but a veteran who supposedly had reached the end of the baseball trail-Jur- ges.
 Billy was an outstanding perfOr- mer with the Cubs from 1882 through 1888. Five of those years, as the Cubs won three pennants, Billy was the leagues leading short- stop in fielding. Then, in 1889, he was sent to the New York Giants and played with the Polo Grounds crew through last season.
 But even the Giants released him last October-which isn't exactly a recommendation for any ball player.
 The Braves. struggling to fill their many gaps picked him up in December. took a nasty look in March and also released him.
 Refuses Coaching Job
 Billy, tossed aside by two loWly pUb LII q Nctll bb AiA 4iIAiAl as Charley readied for his pennant de- fense.
 "okay," Grimm said, "do you want to play or coach?"
 T can still play" Jurges replied,
 ~You're on" Grimm told him and three days later Billy was signed to a contract.
 Charley hasn't had cause yet to regret 1t. For Jurges has been a steady, reliable man at shortstor as he got the call over two younger players. Proving he still can play he performed in two straight dou- bleheaders last weekend.
 So Grimm is banking on this vet eran-ironically enough a native o1 Brooklyn-and his two young finds to help the Cubs to another flag And, win, lose or draw, the way they have been coming is enough tc make the rest of the league sit 1T and take notice.

United Nations Secretary-Geaerd
Trygve Lie which declared the
Polish troops were "a possible
threat to the peace, calm and
order'' on the Yugoslav-Italian
frontier.
The memorandum asserted the
Polish troops of Gen. Wladyslaw
Anders were aggressive and os-
tensibly threatening"
Neither Russia nor Yugoslavia
asked for council action, but merely
that members be familiarized with
contents of the memorandum.
The Polish government in a note
handed to the British yesterday de-
manded that the British demobilize
the 100000 Polish troops in Italy
and send them back to Poland.
The British said negotiations were
under way for return to Polish
troops both in England and Italy
to their homeland. .s.~
The memorandum charged the
Anders Army had been moving
closer to the Yugoslav frontier, and
was recruiting Yugoslavs "quisl-
ings''. under the slogan flight
against communism in Yugos-
lavia."
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin denied the Polish forces were
drawn up against any line in north
era Italy, saying they were just
dotted about.
Vice Foreign Minister Zygmunt
Modzelewski Of Poland said he did
not personally plan to press for
United Nations action on the mat
ter, but that his government might
insist.
There were indications, mean
while, that trend was developing
in the council to permit Great
Britain and France to negotiate
directly for withdrawal of their
troops from Syria and Lebanon.
