...been with the Cubs since 1922. Lon Warneke a lanky, hay-pitching, coon-hunting 26-year-old from Arkansas, is the right-handed ace of the pitching staff (Warneke, French, Root, Lee), which rotated with rhythmic brilliance through their winning streak. At the start of the season, Manager Grimm was the Cubs' regular first baseman. Nineteen-year-old Phil Cayarretta, one year out of a North Side Chicago high school, played the position so well that Manager Grimm let him keep it. He, Third-Baseman Stanley Hack, Outfielders Augie Galan and Frankie Demaree are playing their first season...
...Return of Peter Grimm (RKO). Lionel Barrymore is the cantankerous florist who, feeling a cold breath on his cheek, hastily completes arrangements to perpetuate the two projects dearest to his heart: his nurseries, and the happiness of his ward, Helen Mack. When, after death, he discovers that his plans will result only in decimating the first and stultifying the second he comes back.

Defying two theatrical decades, The Return of Peter Grimm continues to fulfill its author's boast...
...Lagarto ("The Lizard") was built in 1922. That made her, compared to her rivals last week, a specimen of early Americana but antiquity is not El Lagarto's only distinction. For her first owner, Ed Grimm, who called her Miss Mary, El Lagarto performed miserably in the Gold Cup races of 1923 and 1924. Mr. Reis (pronounced "Rice"), who wanted a fast runabout for his Lake George summer home, bought her in 1925, renamed her for the reptile which he considers so lucky that he uses a large stuffed one with a hole in its back on his library...
