CARL HUBBELL DEFEATS DEAN ANO CARDINALS Giants Best Cards, 4-1; Dizzy Dean And Rip- | pie Fined New York, May 20.—<U.R>—President Ford C. Frick of the National league today fined Jerome "Dizzy” Dean. St. Louis Cardinals pitcher, and Jimmy Ripple, New York Giants' outfielder, <SO each for their part in yesterday's fight during the Giants-Cardinals game. Out ot the battle, in which almost every player of both teams was swining, these tacts stood out: 1. Carl Hubbell won his 22nd straight game and was the coolest man in the park during the strife. He stayed out of the lighting and tended strictly to his pitching chores. 2. Dizzy Dean was soundly outpitched by Hubbell and lost control of himself when a balk was called on him. 3. Dean obviously was throwing bis “high, hard one" at the Giants heads. 4. The usually docile Giants prove das tough as the gashouse gang, giving punch for punch and carrying off a moral victory by outgaming the Cards. The Giants won the ball game. 41, before 22,694 persons. Hubbell breezed on to his sixth straight triumph this season, and his 22nd since his last defeat July 13, 1936. Hubbell permitted .only six hits, walked none pud fanned seven. Joe Medwick's homer in the second was the only run scored off him. Dean was nicked for seven hits, walked two, hit another and fanned only five. The battling was the result ot a balk decision called by Umpire George Barr on Dean in the tilth when the Cards led, 1-0. White-1 head singled and went to second

After the fifth inning Dean started throwing at the Giants’ heads. They were going up and down like duck pins. Finally Ripple bunted down the first base line, but second baseman Brown fielded the ball, Mize covering first. Dean got in the play anyway, and barely missed a head-on collision with Ripple. In a second Dean and Rippie were swinging. The players of both teams raced to the scene and soon at least half a dozen fights were in progress. Chiozza swung at Dean, but players say his left hook clipped Don Gutteridge. Gus Mancuso and Mickey Owen started a private battle. When quiet was restored Mancuso and Owen were banished. Police helped the umpires break up the battle, and escorted the Giants off the field after the game.

HIGH AVERAGE FOR SPEEDWAY RACE DRIVERS Drivers Predict 116 Mile Average Needed To Qualify Indianapolis. Muy 20 I’U.R) An average of better than 116 miles an hour for 25 miles will be necessary to qualify for the 25th annual 500-mile race on the Indianapolis speedway, drivers predicted today. A faster track and elimination of the restrictions on gasoline consumption were cited as reasons for the prediction. A car must average at least 110 miles an hour for 10 laps of the two and one-half mile brick oval to qualify for the race and if more ! than 33 pass that speed test, only the fastest 33 will be permitted to ■ start. Slowest speed of the 33 starters last year was 111 455 mad* by Emil Andres. Chicago. Cars were limited to 2’i gallons of gas for 1 the 25-mile qualifying run and ! 371 2 gallons for the race then, however. Several ears unable to pass the . fuel restrictions last year will h - a more serious threat in the com- - netition for places in the starting lineup this year, drivers conceded. They mentioned as an outstanding example two Buicks entered by Phil Shafer. Des Moines. i “Both those cars are capable of qualifying at 117 miles an hour.”: admitted A. B. "Deacon" Litz, Du Bois. Pa. whose 116.273 was the, slowest posted last weekend and stands a chance of being elimin-, ated. Only 21 more places are available in the starting lineup if Litz is to stay and Dave Evans. Detroit. one of the outstanding mechanic-drivers at the track, estimated there were 26 cars yet unqualified which were capable of averaging at least 117 miles an hour. .1 “Im putting a supercharger on' my own car to Increase the speed.” Evans said. He hopes to be ready when qualifying trials resume next Saturday. Mauri Rose, Dayton. 0., 1936 AAA driving champion, placed ' several bets that the starting field would be composed of cars faster than Litz' qualifying time. Another who stands a chance 1 of being eliminated if the driver' , predictions are fulfilled is Ronney ■ Households, Chicago, who quail-' tied last Saturday at 116 464. o * Today’s Sport Parade 1i (By Henry McLemore) ♦ • New York May 20.—(U.R) —My | brain, which is sb undersized any fishermen would throw It back, will uot stand another such day as 1 had yesterday. The setting sun found it doing a giddy gavotte, and those nearest and dearest to me feared I would be taken away and made a ward of the state, and my name changed to Henry T. New York. To begin with, the first letter I opened when 1 sat down at my roll top Sheraton was from a Madison Square Garden publicity man in Speculator. N. Y., and contained this paragraph. “Max Schmeling. the German heavyweight, eased off somewhat' in his training stunts today, in his preparation for his 15-round bout with James J. Braddock, heavyweight champion of the world, at

the garden howl, June 3. Schtnel-I | Ing never looked better In his life | land says he will stiffen Braddock I in shorter time than it took him to | I put the crusher on Joe Ixmis at I i the Yankee stadium last June." I 1 read this and knew someone • was crazy, and that it wus either j the garden, or Mike Jacoba, who ,is promoting Braddock ;and Joe j Louis in Chicago, or myself. I > called the garden and u spokesman suid everything was sane overj there. I called Jacobs and he in-i , sisted he had all his buttons. I didn't call myself for fear 1 would get myself, but opened another leti er, A few lines of it and my mind broke into a Virginia reel. Because this letter informed me that Etvze Fiermonte had purchased a 400-horse-power Maserati automomobile and would race in the second annual Vanderbilt cup race at Roosevelt speedway on July 3. Fiermonte. you must remember, is the prizefighter with a soft smile and chin to match who forsook the ring to marry Mrs. Madeline Astor Dick and become the stepfather of John Jacob Astor. Jr. I couldn't make any more sense of this than 1 could Schmeling's belief that he is actually going to tight. Automobile racing is dangerous, and 1 have seen Fiermonte in the ring and know that he doesn't like danger, with or without mustard, on white, rye or pumpernickel. He is one of the few true pacifists I ever saw in the ring. To clear my head I decided to go to Forest Hills, sink in a deep chair on a sun flooded porch, and be soothed watching the effortless motions of the Davis cup players in practice. 1 relaxed and looked out on the court. I shook my head and looked again. For here's what I saw: Two members of the Australian l>avis cup team playing as I had never seen tennis players play before. One of them, a gentleman named McGrath, held his racquet in both hands like a baseball bat for all his backhand shots. The other one, John Bromwich, swung with both hands on the forehand side, and on backhand shots flung his racquet from his right hand to his left. It looked more like a wand drill than a tennis game. I i started betting myself on which hand Bromwich would use and wound up losing forty cents. I was just writing myself out an , IOU when the manager of the Australians came up and said I hadn't seen anything yet, and to wait until next year when he brings over a boy named Pont. “He uses two hands for all his shots, including service,” he said. “I don't doubt it,” I shrieked : hysterically. “I don't doubt anything today.” i And, placing my hand in my vest with a Corsican gesture, I joined Josephine at the bar.

'All those Interested in church and industrial leagues are artked to attend. o FRANCE FAVORS may result In a stalemate by which the war would continue to bleed Spain of men and wealth, with decisive victory impossible for either side. Also, the war has not ceased to be a danger spot because of conflicting interests of other nations, and participation of scores of ‘ thousands of foreigners. It is generally accepted that the inow famous international brigade of anti-fascist volunteers saved Madrid last fall. On the othe.* 1 side, it is knowu that many thousands of Italians have been sent to Spain as "volunteers" to aid the nationalists, and that German 1 technicians, aviators with German planes, anti-aircraft gun units and I others have aided the insurgents. o HITS POLITICAL — (CONTINUED FROM * AOK ONE) i i not made steady progress in this ' state because of political interfer- ' ence.
