THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON CUBS CELEBRATE WINNING OF NATIONAL PENNANT WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21, 1932 GRIMM SELECTS BUSH TO PITCH OPENING GAME Chicago. Sept. 21 Chicago's Cubs today were "in." with little In the way of serelous business to worry them until a week from today when they oppose the New York Yankees In the opening game of the world series and they inten ded to get a little fun out of their baseball. As soon as Kikl Cuyler smashed one of Steve Swetonic's curves lor a triple with the bases loaded in the seventh Inning of the first game of yesterday's "crucial"' double header, the veteran regulars had earned a rest. They started taking it in the second game, and they don't have to go back to work un til they have rested. Neither do they have to rest if they don't want to. Manager Charlie Grimm almost went right back to work in the second game yesterday, although he Jong hed planned to give Mnr vnl Gudat a chance as soon as the national league title was won. "Now that this battle is over," he said. "I could get a lot of fun out of this game. I won't rest long." He has definitely announced only one item of his world series plans that Guy Bush will pitch the opening game at New York. This has been common gossip ever since tt looked as though the Cubs would win the championship. His other pitching selections depend on the Outcome of that first game. The clubhouse celebration after the pennant winning triumph re quired a little time to develop. Billy Herman was the first player to reach the dressing room. He more an awed sort of smile. The Test of the youngsters, with the ex ception of Lonnle Warneke, the sensational young righthander, matched Herman's expression. The older players just beamed until Grimm, last to come In, appeared. Then they yelled at Grimm, at each other, and finally demanded a speech from the manager. He obliged with one word, "great," re peated many times. President Wil ' liam L. Veeck, who on August 2, deposed Rogers Hornsby as man ager and appointed Grimm, con gratulated each man, finishing up with Grimm. "Thanks, manager," Veeck said, pumping Grimm's hand. "But. we knew we could do it, didn't we?" Wan..ke was little impressed, at least outwardly. He grinned at Cuyler and his only comment was, 'Well, we figured to do it." Not a word of mention was ac corded the Yankees. The Athletics BIG GUN OF CHICAGO CUBS Hitting the bill at a .332 clip for the Chicago Cubs this year Is Riggs Stephenson's Idea of a normal season. Wearing a broad smile the " 'ole host" of Wrlglcy field Is shown preparing some of his artillery for possible use in the world series. His consistent hitting In the pinches has provided the spark for many a Cub rally this season.

White the Benton county youths have no place on the Salem schedule at the present time, Don Coons, manager for the Huntington crew Is still hopeful that an agreement can be reached. Salem and Corvallis are natural football rivals and most of their encounters have been strenu ous affairs with neither side having much of an advantage. Corvallis handed the locals a nice beating last fall on Bell field and an op portunity to reciprocate Is all that is asked for here. Considerable change In the sched ule as outlined earlier In the year has been made, Coons says, the dates In several Instances having been rearranged. While a story ap pearing in a Medford paper stated a game between the southern Ore gon squad and Coach Huntington's team had been arranged for this year, the contest is not likely to take place, local authorities feeling too much money was involved. The correct schedule follows: September 30 Alumni. October 7 Silverton, here. October IS Bend, there. October 21 Albany, there. October 28 Astoria, here. November 4 Oregon City, there. November 11 Eugene, here. November 18 Tillamook, there. November 24 Chemawa, here.
