CUBS MAKE BIG GAIN FOR LEAD Chicago, May 9. 'U.R) Determined to advance into first place, th'* champion Chicago Cults, jubilant over seven straight victories, prepared today to meet the leagueleading New York Ciants in a four-game series. The Giants came in this morning loading the Cubs by .nit because of a mathematical oddity. Despite (',■> Giants point advantage, the Cubs have a half game lead, and a victory today would mean undisputed possession of first place. Going at th* fastest pace of this si ison, the Bruins expect to take at least three out of four ami send the Giants out of town in a lower berth in the standings. Not even when they wer* going at their best last year, did the Chicagoans show the “will to win" they have exhibited during tile past week. They're about the fightingest outfit Chicago has seen for some time. An example of the “never say die" spirit appeared yesterday in the game with Brooklyn. Phelps, Imdger pitcher, had the champions pretty w II in hand when the Cubs went to bat in tire eighth, t ailing I to 3. Bit the Chicagoans got a break when Frederick.Brooklyn centet fielder dropped. English's high tty. Heathcote was| sate on a bunt and then Kiki Cuy-!*-i slammed on - into the right field seats and Grimm hit the first pitch to the left-field screen. It missed being a homer by a foot and Lefty stopped at second while the Cubs saw a record go glimmering. Had Grimm's hit gone into the bl -aehers it would have tied a record of three straight homers held by Ruth. Gehrig and Meusel. the Yankee wrecking crew. A team which can hit like that means despair to opposing managers. That the team really has recovered from its fielding slump was evidenced by four doubleplays. Two regulars — Stephenson and Hornsby—still are not playing lint Heathcote's pres nee in Stephenson’s place doesn't weaken the team to any appreciable extent al-1 though Hornsby is missed. Manager Joe .McCarthy's one worry right now se ms to be the pitching. The mainstays of the hurling staff —Root. Carlson, Blake, and Malone —haven't yet reached top form. , .Manager McCarthy expected to start Hal Carlson today and it appeared that Will Walker will pitch tor the Giants. Fast Car Entered Indianapolis, May 9 -- Europe's fastest rar- a sixteeen cylinder : treed creation and the world s speedie t fom cylinder car, an . .merican product, will meet in the Interna ional 500-mile race for SIOO, ioo at the Indianapolis Mo.or Speedway, May 30. European entry is a Maserati, which recently was driven over a ten kilometer course at Cremona. Italy, try Baconi Borzacchini at a •peel of 152.55 miles an hour. Bor;.a- chini will start the car in the Indianapolis event. America's countribiltion is the fair cylinder Miller-Schofield Special which William "Shorty" Cantlon recently rushed over the hard su.lace of Dry Lake Muroc in the Mojave desert at a gait of 144.895 miles an hour. Caution will drive this car at Indianapolis. Racing experts point out that the conflict between these two extremes in motor sizes will be one of the interesting features of the coming race, declaring that the,dit-to-cure in straightaway speed will be reduced in a race on the two and one half mile track at Indianapolis. whree four quarter turns must be negotiated each lap and where maximum .-peed cannot lie used even on he long straightaways. America also is sending a sixteen ylinder car <uto the fray to mat-h
