Yankees drop Burleigh Grimes in surprise release
Veteran right hander Burleigh Grimes is released by the New York Yankees after being acquired as a free agent from the St. Louis Cardinals. The move comes as Grimes has offered little help to the club. Roy Parmalee of the New York Giants hurls effectively against the Phillies, while Dick Bartell's hitting streak reaches ten games as he rushes toward the lead in Phillies batting averages. Old Timers Day in San Francisco draws about 200 veterans, including George Van Haltren, who stars in a post-game charity game. Betty V, a speedboat built for Melvin Crooks, wins the Take George trophy at Bolton Landing. Donkey baseball in Southern California claims its first fatality when Willan Beck dies of a cerebral hemorrhage during play. Boxing highlights feature Marcel Thil defeating Ted Meroni in a 10-round bout amid near-riot conditions over a controversial decision. Barney Ross offers Billy Townsend a bout in Vancouver as he prepares for a rematch with Jimmy McLarnin. Tony Shueen of Boston claims New England heavyweight and light heavyweight titles while seeking a bout with Maxie Rosenbloom. Rooms for Rent ad closes the item.
