CARL HUBBELL WINS AGAIN AS RELIEF HURLER Hurls Two Scoreless Innings As Giants Defeat Reds New York. May 28. Puzzling results of the second east-west Intersectional series, which ended yesterday, furnished plenty of food for thought in the major leagues today. The big surprise was in the National league, where the eastern clubs, who were buffeted from pillar to post by the invading western clubs in the first east-west games, made a triumphant western invasion. Only the fast-stepp-ing New York Yankees saved tne eastern prestige in the American : league, giving the east the edge in both intersectional series. Among the high spots of the' east-west games were: National League The Giants, who could only! break eveu at home against west, blazed through that section I on the road, with eight out of ten.' best record of any National league | club. f Pittsburgh, winner of seven out 1 of nine on the eastern invasion., nosedived at home, taking only I three out of eight. The Cubs, with five out of nine.! were the only western team to get > better than an even break at home. | The Boston Bees, who won only i only out of eight against the west- j i ern invaders, grabbed five out of eight on the road. American League The Yankees, who lost five out of nine in the west, set the pace ; (or all American league clubs by | winning seven out of nine. Cleveland, notoriously a weak , club, fared well everywhere except at Yankee stadium, winning six I out of nine. The Athletics, who won six out of seven in the west, couldn't keep up the pace at home, and dropped six out of ten. The Tigers, who dropped six out of nine at home, recovered to win six out of ten in the east. King Carl Hubbell and Mel Ott, , boasting a batting average of only ' .182, gave the New York Giants I sixth straight victory and a 3-2 vic- ■ tory over the Cincinnati Reds. Hubbell, who came in as a relief pitcher in the eighth, and retired the six men who faced him, was i credited with his 24th consecutive victory <ls last year and eight this . year). Ott's homer in the ninth ' decided the game. The victory elevated the Giants 1 1 to within one game of first place ' as the league-leading Pirates were rained out in the third inning of I their game with Brooklyn. Pittsburgh led. 2-0, at the time. A ninth inning rally failed and' STANDINGS — NATIONAL LEAGUE W. L. Pct. Pittsburgh 19 10 .655 New York 20 13 .606 !
