Compares With Sisler
An inside slant 011 Grimm’s first
basing and hi general all-round
ability was present by Jim Bagby
recently. Bagby, an American
l eaguer for years, saw the brilliant
George Sisler play. He is with the
Pirates this season and he has
watched Grimm daily.
“I may open an argument,” re
marked Bagby recently, “but Sisler
surpassed Grimm only in base run
ning and a bit in his hitting. Irt
fielding Grimm is the equal if Sisler
in doing everything else and is con
stantly improving.
“I have never seen n first base
man throw with suets accuracy while
flying in the air as Grimm. He
reaches going to his right
and with a sort of a hurdle tosses
the ball down to Maranville, waist
high to force runners.
“He is one of the few first base
men to go over to the third base
side of the plate, field a bunt on an
•' itended sacrifice and catch the
inner going to third. .
On Long Hitting Streak.
“This kid is one of those' ball I
players you don’t read much about,
but who is a star in his profession.”
Grimm started the season with a
remarkable batting spurt, hitting
safely in his first 25 games. Sixteen
more and he would have equaled the
modern safety record.
The nearest approach to his ,
achievements this year were those
of Karry Heilmann of Detroit, with
a safe hitting mark for 21 games.
Bill McKechnie has Grimm in
seventh place in the batting order,
not because be is a weak hitter but

because, as he puts it, “I like to
have a good hitter down there and
Charley is the best I know of.”
Grimm had but two years of pro
fessional experience before he re
ceived his diploma. He performed
on the semi-pro lots in St. Louis
when he was recommended to Con
nie Mack. The Athletics’ manager
carried him around for a month, but
with Stuffy Mclnnis on the bag
naturally did not have an opening
for him. ■
Grimm lined up with Cardinals
in 1918, but’playing in 50 games was
transferred to Little Rock in the
Southern League. He finished with
the Travelers and improved to such
an extent in 1919 that he was pur
chased by the Pirates. Grimm bats
left handed, throws with the south
paw, weighs 175 pounds and meas
ures 5 feet 11 inches.

Leatrice Joy is a Southern beauty.
She originally came from New Or

brown sparkling eyes and charming
ways. She might haye , been down
there yet if she hadnt seen a news
paper advertisement one day which
read something like this:
“Wanted: Attractive girls to act
in photoplays.”
Miss Joy’s first picture was made
n New Orleans, entitled “The Folly
of Revbnge,” and this gave her a
taste for njoving picture acting. She
wanted more of it. That was in 1917.
In a short time she was. on her way
to New York with a one way ticket
and a letter of introduction to some
of the men holding responsible posi
tions in the moving picture world at
that time.
After a short time she secured a
place in one reel comdeies.
It wasn’t all peaches and cream in
those days. sh.? worked
and sometimes she didn’t, but after
many experiences she succeeded in
rising to stardom until now she is
considered one of the leading act
resses of the screen and has appear
ed in such successes as “Manslaugh
ter,” “Bachelor Daddv,” “Saturdav
Night” and “The Povertv of Riches.”
Miss Joy’s latest picture is “Java
