Aaron Bothers Hank Aaron was the fellow that concerned me' most. I made a few mistakes pitching to him, but I got away with it, thank goodness. I was ready when I came into the game in - the first inning even though I threw only about 25 pitches in the bullpen. I threw mostly fast balls. My slider wasn't work ing too well when I first took over for Danny McDevitt but it started to come around near the end. I think I was the happiest guy in the ball park when Bob Avila popped up to Jim Gilliam for the -final out.

"I don't" know what we have to have to do to make us a contender," he said. "But I do know of five boys in the farm system who might help us. And what else it'll take, we'll have to decide in confer ences in the near future." Grimm, 61, a Cub vice pres ident for the past two years, was named to succeeed Bob Scheffing Monday when the latter "resigned" after a ne gotiation parley with club president Philip K. Wrigley. Scheffing To Stay Scheffing will remain with ; the club with only "a slight cut in pay," but his exact du ties have to be determined. He might become a farm team manager, or perhaps work in the farm organization, but Wrigley emphasized it would be a "baseball" job and not in a front office capacity. Grimm, who previously managed the Cubs from Aug. 4, 1932 through July 20, 1938, and from May 7, 1944 through June 10, 1949, said he took the job again "only because of Mr. Wrigley."

Team officials suspected they had suffered food poisoning as result of a fruit salad they ate, but Chi cago health officials ruled this out Friday morning after quick investigation. got two strikes on him with fast balls and on the next pitch, another fast ball, I got him to pop up.
