Jolly Cholly
dies at 85

SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (AP) — Charlie Grimm, a
20-year veteran of major league baseball and three-time
manager of Chicago Cubs, died Tuesday night, hospital
officials said.

He was 85.

Grimm had lived in Scottsdale since he retired from
baseball. Pat Sampair, a nursing supervisor at the
hospital, said Grimm had been in hospital for about one
month, but did not know for what reason. :

Jolly Cholly is what they called him, and with good
reason. ‘

field and his close ties to Cub owner at the time, Phil

Wrigley, were legend as he was hired to manage the Cubs

three different times and led them to three pennants,

including the last one they ever won in 1945.

Born in St. Louis on Aug. 29, 1898, Grimm started his
career as a bat boy in the old St. Louis Park and was
originally signed by Connie Mack and Philadelphia A's at
the age of 17. He played six seasons for Pittsburgh
Pirates before he was traded to the Cubs in 1926.

During his lengthy playing career, Grimm appeared
in 2,164 games, had 2,229 hits and 1,078 runs batted in
while compiling a lifetime average of .290.

He was first named manager of the Cubs in 1982,

several times and he played
against first Al

ding Rogers yy. The Cubs won the pennant
that year as they did under Grimm again in 1985. During
the 1938 season, the Cubs were struggling and Grimm
was replaced by Gabby Hartnett, the Hall of Fame
catcher, who personally led the Cubs to the pennant that
year. :

ieee PROVIDES STUNTS

Grimm turned to baseball broadcasting but in 1941
he and Bill Veeck acquired Milwaukee Brewers of the
American Association. Grimm became the field manager
and Veeck provided the stunts which made the Brewers
the most popular team in the league.

They served breakfast food to war workers at
morning games, gave away scarce butter in armored.
cars, raffled off hogs and other livestock, and entertained
with a swing band before games with Grimm playing the
banjo.

In 1944, Wrigley again beckoned Grimm to manage
the Cubs. But with Veeck away with the marines in the
South Pacific, Grimm was reluctant to take the Cub job
unless his partners were well protected in Milwaukee.

The Cubs were able to find a replacement for Grimm
with the Brewers, a chap named Casey Stengel who had
resigned as manager of Boston Braves the previous
winter. It was a matter of one talented, cutup replacing
another.

On June 10, 1949, Grimm was fired by the Cubs and
replaced by Frankie Frisch. In 1962, he was hired as
manager of Boston Braves and remained with the club,
when the franchise was transferred to Milwaukee. Four
years later he was replaced by Fred Haney.

At the end of the 1959 season, he again was hired to
manage the Cubs, replacing Bob Scheffing. But on May 5,
1960, Grimm was out again. This time he was replaced by
Lou Boudreau who had been announcing Cub games.
They merely switched jobs.

It was the last time Grimm was to manage but he
