GIANTS LOSING FIGHTING EDGE World Champs Lose Fifth Game In Eight Starts On Tour New York. Muy 11. (U.R) It seems somewhat premature to be writing about the world champion Giants' "crack-up," but there's no need of borrowing the Lick Observatory telescope to see they've lost their 1933 lighting edge. Their performances while losing five out of eight games against western teams actually alarmed New York baseball writers traveling with the club. They lost one of three to Cincinnati, two of three to the Pirates and two straight to Uie Cardinals, dropping from first place to a third-place tie. Writers with the Terrymen expressed their concern as follows: Red Rennie, Herald Tribune: The entire team is out of tune. It has no life. The old zip is gone. Tom Meany, World-Telegram: The Chants are playing like a lot of tired old men. Hone is the tight, flash an-1 fire which they showed sh the early games at home. Will Wedge. Sun: The Giants somehow don't look right, here in the west. There is not the 1933 spirit and hustle in the club. Garry Schu-

macher. Journal: They've bogged down in every department. They're listless and Indifferent. After playing the Cards today ami tomorrow the Giants step into a three-game series with the formidable Cubs. Their outlook, lor the nonce. Is somewhat dreary. Yesterday the Cards dragged Into a third-place tie by winning, 5 to 4. It was the Cards' fourth straight victory ami their 11th triumph in 12 starts. St. Louis won in the seventh when the marginal tally came In after singles by Rothrock and Frisch and Medwiek's long fly. Hal Schumacher allowed the Cards' 11 hits. The Cubs strengthened their lead by trouncing the Dodgers, 12 to S, in a game f.atureij by six home runs. Chuck Klein recaptured the majors' home run leadership with his eighth. His mates, Hartnett and Bill Herman, also hit for the circuit. Frey, Leslie and Cuccinello made Brooklyn homers. Cincinnati downed the Braves. 5 to 2, with Lombardi leading the Reds' nine-hit attack with a triple and single. Philadelphia at Pittsburgh was rained out. In the American league, the Athletics rose into a tie with idle Washington tor second place by heating Detroit, 5 to 3. for their fourth siraigh- triumph. New York strengthened its lead by smashing the White Sox. 13 to 3. for Jimmy Dykes' first managerial defeat. Lou Gehrig drove in seven Yankee runs with two homers and two doubles in four tries. Cleveland rose to fourth place by shading the Red Sox. 11 to 10. This dropped Boston from a third-place tie with the Athletics to fifth position. The Indians won in the Sth when Joe Vosmik made a homer with two aboard. Averill had done likewise in the fifth. Boston got off to a six-run lead in the first, but four errors contributed to their downfall. St. Louis at Washington was washed out. o LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct. Reynolds.

CHUCK KLEIN IS i CUB SPARKPLUG Star Outfielder Is Pacing Cubs In National League Lead Chicago. May 11. <U.R> The Chi- , icago Cubs are winging away in , tjrst place in the National league pennant rm e. and the big No. 1 . I reason why is Charles Herbert | Klein. ! The Cubs started at a dizzy pace | ’ behind Klein's power, went into a islump when he lost his batting eye , for > few games, and then picked .up their speed once more as soon as he found the range again with ? his deadly mace. Klein is easily the most valuable player on the Cubs team for the 22 games they have played, and I the figures prove he's the most i valuable man in the league np to I now. 1 | Although batting only .348 —it's ’ 1 Klein's idea that .348 is a small I 'batting average Klein leads the < | league in hits and home runs, is I lied for the lead in runs batted in. I ' and is second in runs scored. No 1 i other player can boast of that kind • of a batting record thus far. He has been to bat 87 times. I made 32 hits, scored 21 runs and l driven in 23 runs. Bueky Medwick. Cardinals, is tied with him 1 Jin runs batted in. and Arky Vaughn. , ‘ Pirates, has scored four more runs ' I than he has. Klein has hammered out eight I home runs, and if he keeps up his present pace the rest of the season ( Ihe will exactly tie Hack Wilson s ■National league record of 56 horn- : ers. In addition to leading the Cubs' 'offense, Klein is covering'left field , | for them as it has never been cov- j | ered in years. He is making cir- ( , cus catches, and holding doubles | to singles with his fast play on halls ) hit in front of him. i Klein had a sty on his eye short- J ly after the season opened, but re- ; : fused to allow Manager Charles j Grimm to take him cut of the lineI up. The sty may have had some■hing to do with his batting slump I of last week when he went through I eight games and 31 times at bat 1 with only four hits, but he didn't I complain. Klein is that kind of a : ball player and he doesn't hurt the : morale of a team any. When Babe Herman was in a bad J slump and having his bat at the ' air. Klein, hitting ahead of him, would say: "Come on. Babe, let's hit one together.” o_ New York Sue Led The New York Sun was the first newspaper to be sold on the streets in tliis country.
