HUBBELL, BEAN CONTINUE FINE HURLING DEEDS Hubbell Wins 20th In Row ; Dean Scores Fifth Win Os Season New York. May 10.— |U.R> —Cincinnati's "rough-house” Reds who got off to the most disappointing start of the major league season, have done an abrupt about face and today were only a game out of the first division. The Reds climaxed a four-game winning streak yesterday by annihilating the Philadelphia Phillies. 21-10. with a burst of power unequaled by any team this year. The Reds' 24 hit-attack, including three home runs by Alex Kampouris. was the feature of a banner line day that embraced these occurrences: Carl Hubbell's 20th straight National league victory. Dizzy Dean's fifth consecutive victory this year. Philadelphia and Cleveland tied for the American league lead. World champion Yankees in fifth place. Though still in the National league cellar with five won and nine lost, the Reds were only a game behind the Chicago Cubs who have seven victories against nine setbacks. and are in fourth place. Hubbel pitched the New York Giants to a 4-1 verdict over th? Cubs for his fourth victory of the season which ran his two-year streak to 20, tying the record of Rube Marquard, who ran 19 straight in 1912 and ha da carryover from the 1911 season. It was fitting that Hubbell's victory should come over Bill Lee, last hurler to best him in 1936. In defeating the Brooklyn Dodgers, 7-1, Dean was the whole show. It gave him more victories for the year than any other major league hurler. and he contributed two singles to the cause. In 46 innings only two runs have been earned off him. The victory en-

The Athletics and Indians took command ot the American loop by winning hard fought games from the Detroit Tigers and Boston Red Sox. Willis Hudlin hurl ed four-hit bal Ito give the Indians a 3-1 victory over the Sex, and the A's after being held scoreless for six innings, scored all of their runs in the last three frames to down the Tigers. 9-8. Detroit tell to third and Boston to fourth. New York's Yankees, pre-season favorites at even money to win the race, were handed their fourth straight defeat, 2-1, by the Chicago White Sox. It was Zeke Bonura's home run in the seventh that gave Thornton Lee the victory in a pitchers' duel with Yank rookie Spurgeon Chandler. St. Louis was dumped into the cellar when they were held to four hits by Jimmy Deshong and the Washington Senators scored a 7-1 triumph. Yesterday's hero: Willis Hudlin, second string pitcher of the Cleveland Indians, who, when hauled into the breach created by Mel Harder's illness, turned in a fourhit performance to place his team in a tie for the league lead. Pleasant Mills Beats Ohio City The Pleasant Mills Spartans defeated Ohio City, 7-4. Sunday, at the Palmer field, southeast of Decatur Pleasant Mills sewed up the game in the fifth inning, scoring five runs on five hits, one a triple by Foor. Each team obtained eight hits but Ohio City's were well scattered.

Kelly Petillo, hard-driving Italian who won a spectacular victory in the 1935 Indianapolis 500-mile race, told the world that he had definitely hung up his goggles but he came back to the Hoos.er track last year as a car owner. He turned his sleek speedster over to Doc MacKenzie and was contented to let that be-wh.skered pilot do the work until trouble started to happen at 355 miles. Mackenzie had been running in fourth place when he came to the pits to adjust a balky carburetor. He spent two minutes and 35 seconds in this operation and, so hot was the competition he dropped from fourth to eighth position, Ted Horn, Mauri Rose, Chet Miller, Rex Mays and Floyd Roberts passing him. This was entirely too much for Kelly’s racing blood and he went back into competit.cn taking the car himself, caught and passed Miller and Rose and finished the car in third money position when Shorty Cantion, Roberts and Maya ran out of gasoline. Kelly has entered his car again in the Silver Anniversary race this year on Monday, May 31, and named another driver but few believe that he will remain in the pits for the entire race.

WAR ADMIRAL EASY WINNER Takes Kentucky Derby Easily; Sets Second Fastest Time Louisville. Ky.. May 10 —(U.R) Unless something drastic happens to him between now and next Saturday Man O' War's snugly built little brown colt. War Admiral. will be a double-dipped clncli to follow his smaslmig victory in the Kentucky Derby with t triumph in the Preaknees at Baltimore. Rated off his work in the blue gress classic here two days ago, there isn't a three-year-old in the country who can give him much more than a brisk exercise. True, Jerry Loncheim’s handsome Pompoon finished but a length behind the Admiral in the derby, and was running strongly at the end But that doesn't mean much, because only onee during the mile and a quarter Journey and then for only an eighth of a mile — did War Admiral really shoot the works and run for all he had. That was when Pompoon, out to prove that he wasn't just a sprinter, challenged near the head of the stretch. In what seemed to be no more than one bound War Admiral, let loose at last by Charley Kurtsing er. picked up two and half lengths and was running away from his only rival. Despite the ease with which he won. War Admiral ran the second fastest derby in the long histoiy : of the race. He negotiated the ■ distance in 2:03 1-5 and the only . better time is the record 2:01 4-5 , made by Twenty Grand in 1931. It is interesting to note that Kurtsinger. a Louisville boy whose birth place was a stone's throw, from Churchill Downs, rode both the fastest winners. No one will ever give a horse a better ride than the "Flying Dutchman” did Man O' War’s boy on Saturday. His judgment of i pace was magnificent. On top from the start, he kept his; charge there, but never pushed him to the point that he was not ■ ready to withstand any and all i challenges. It was a good thing that Pom poon was in the race. Otherwise the race would have been a farce, for the Loucheim hope was the only horse in the field with I enough class to keep within hail ing distance of the smooth striding Admiral. Both these horses are en route to Baltimore now. where the derby winner is almost certain to go to the post an odds-on favorite. Pompoon may make it a bit closer in the Preakness, because the distance is shorter than the derby route, being only a mile and three-sixteenths. No one in Louisville today disputed the fact that the best horse won the derby. No one had any excuse to make for the losers. They couldn't very well alibi, because the race was clean as a knife blade, and run under absolutely perfect conditions. The track was lightning fast, the start was good, and there was little or no rough work on the bends. o LEADING BATTERS Player Club GAB R H Pct. Walker, Tigers. . 15 62 16 29 .468 Cronin.

funeral services will he held at the home at 3 p. m„ Tuesday. o # ♦ Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ———— • Louisville. Ky.. May 10. <U.R) My selection. Military, ran fifteenth I in the Kentuck derby, but if you expect me to be apologetic today, to put on my double-breasted sack[doth and ashes, you are sadly mis--1 taken. As a matter of fact I am likely to be a bit arrogant, lift my three chins even higher in the air, and do a bit of strutting, because 1 think Military's running fifteenth stamped me with hallmark of greatness as a judge of thoroughbred horseflesh. If you disagree, please consider | this: the last horse census, made ! by men of much common census, showe dthat there were 4,326,407 ‘ horses in the world. That's quite 'a few horses, isn't it? Yet I, sitting in a hotel room, and with noth ing more substantial for inspiration than a headache, chose from that number a horse capable of finishing no worse than fifteenth ' in one of the world's great races. Think of the work involved in reading through a list of 4.326,407 | horses! And I not only had to read the names—l had to trace the blood lines. I had to follow the red corpuscles through dams and eirej, foals and colts, geldings, stallions, mares, brood mares, fillies, whinnies, fetlocks, and with ers. 1 had to climb so many horse family trees that I still have the swinging gait of a three-toed sloth So you see, I didn't do badly in naming Military. And I might have done even better had Military's jockey used better strategy. Military's ancestry all were army people. His great-great-great-great grandfather — Arthur P. Edwards by name —hauled a cannon in the Revolutionary war. His grandfather by two less greats was one of the standout horses in the war of 1812. On his mother's side the genealogical lines [includes Red Cross nurses, sock knitters, and Liberty bond salesmen. Had his jockey, one Charley Corbett. known this, he might well have brought him home in front in the derby. What Military needed to spur him on was not the I crack of a whip on his hide, but the roar of artillery in his ears. When he began to lag behind War Admiral Corbbett should have fired a trench mortar, broken out the Stars and Stripes, and yelled: "Charge' ” Incidentally, that word “charge” has a nasty ring. I am afraid that I am going to have to use it quite I a bit during the next few months, until I recover from the financial setback incurred when Military didn't win. I really plunged on that horse. I have enough pasteboard tickets left to paper a baronial hall. It seems to me that a thoughtful race track would make the pari-mutuel tickets out of some edible stuff so that losers could take them home, sprinkle on a little sugar and cream, and keep that drawn look off the kiddies’ face. | One more word on Military: You’ve heard of the four-mluule mile Cunningham. Venzke, San Romani. and Lovelock have been trying to run. Well, they can quit. The edge has been taken off. Military ran it Saturday. (Copyright 1937 by UP.) o Trade In a Gend Vowr — Der.atur
