CHICAGO TEAMS ARE THREAT TO NEW YORK NINES White Sox And Cubs In Second Place In Major Leagues New York. June 8 — (U.R) —No longer does New York have an exclusive.threat to a world series in one city Chicago's two major league clubs have tossed their hats into the ring to take the 1937 world series from New York to the windy city. The slogan for an all Chicago world series is "See the series on a dime." The elevated fare in Chicago is ten cents compared with the five-cent subway fare in New York. Thirty-one years ago Chicago staged the first world series in one city, the White Sox upsetting the Cubs, four games to two Another all Chicago affair would make for the hottest world series I in history Out in the windy city ; you live and die a White Sox or | Cub fan and nothing ever brings them together. The two New York clubs still hold sway in the pennant races, but the Cubs are in second place breathing on the Giants’ neck and the White Sox. although in third place, are only one game back of' the pace-making Yankees. The White Sox smashed down ninth straight triumph — longest the Athletics yesterday for their wnining streak of the 1937 season I —and today made ready to challenge the Yanks' lead in the opening game of a three-game series with New York at Comiskey park. The White Sox’ 12-6 victory gave them their 13th triumph in the last 15 games and climaxed a drive that started in sixth place May 25. Bill Dietrich, who pitched a no-hit. no-run game his last start, scored another victory but had to have relief from Clint . Brown in the eighth inning. The I White Sox pounded Turbeville. Williams, Fink and Gumpert for 16 hits. The Cubs were idle but moved into second place, a game and a half behind the Giants, when New Y'ork knocked off Pittsburgh. 5-2.; It was the Pirates' fifth straight I defeat. The Cubs have won 10 ; out of their last 12 games, and since May 2 have climber all the way from seventh place. Burgess Whitehead's three hits drove in three runs as the Giants swept the Pirates series. Harry Gumbert went the route for the second time this season, holding the Pirates to five hits. In the only other National league game Brooklyn beat Cincinnati. 5-4. in 10 innings. Babe J Phelps' single and Woody English’s double drove in the winning. run after Ernie Lombardi’s homer I with a runner on base had tied the score for the Reds in the ninth. The Yankees continued their nosedive in the west, losing to Detroit. 43-. It was New York's fifth defeat in the last 7 games. Jake Wade held the Yanks to four hits, one of them a homer by Joe Di Maggio and another a triple by Lou Gehrig. Lefty Gomez was the losing pitcher, giving up eight hits, for his fifth defeat. Hank Greenberg hit his 14th homes with one man on base. Cleveland slu h d ont a 17-5 victory over Washington, bumping | Cascarella and Linke for 15 hits

LOUIS (U.P.I — Worried by the increasing number of young and old who cannot find places in i industry, Walter B. Pitkin, 59 year I old author of “Life Begins at Forty.” proposes to have them work together in mutual aid. • —• o MUSIC REGARDED AS MEDICAL AID iN NERVE CASES Boston, —(UP) —It Arthur Flagler Fultz’ experiment is successful, physicians will be carrying around portable phonographs along with , pills and stethoscope and hospitals might become "concert halls.” Fultz, a Boston University graduate student, is studying musical co-therapy, the application of music to cases o fpersonality disorders. "Any personality or nervous disorder responds to music,” he- says. I "Music can make the whole personality smile. If a person listens occasionally to the type of music his personality requires, it will help him to get a new grip on life.” Too much music, however, is harmful as it prevents concentra- | tion, he says. o ♦ ♦ Today’s Sport Parade | (By Henry McLemore) ♦ « New York, June B.— (U.R) — A gentleman of Minneapolis (I do not dare divulge his name for fear the squirrels in that city would have him stored for the winter within an hour) has written in for my opinion on the 1937 Davis cup play. He wants to know —honest, I’m telling you the truth —how I feel about the chances of the American squad which, as these lines are written, is bob-bob-bobbing along on the high seas toward England. The letter flattered me nearly to death, because it came at a time when I was almost convinced that the citizens of this country not only do not want my opinion, but were actually being inoculated so they wouldn’t "catch it.” So to speak, in crowds. I have even heard of instances where entire HOW YOU CAN GET A LOAN Thousands of families throughout the State are now using our convenient—LOAN SERVICE —and find it just what they need to take care oftheir money worries.

novelist and playwright than he' is a tennis player. A few years i ago Roderlch gave promise of becoming the No. 1 singles player in the worTu, but all of a sudden he forgot how to transport his 220 pounds with decent celerity for five sets, and hit the skids. Belgium and Yugoslavia have little more than a will to win. six 1 bottles of liniment, and a change of flannel pants for each of their heroes. The schedule calls for Germany to massacre Belgium, and ’ then follow through with a mop- < up of the Caecho-Yugo winner. I And there isn't even an outside I chance that Germany won’t follow schedule. So, the only three countries that matter are America. Germany, and England. All of the grade a tennis minds agree that whoever gets to England in the challenge round will take the cup. The Britishers 1 plan to use Dunny Austin and Charlie Hare in singles, and Pat Hughes and C. D. R. (or is it R. 1 C. D.) Turkey in doubles. Hare is a youngster, and not a very capable one at that, arid Hughes and Turkey are strictyl a so-so team. Any team that will lob Hughes and Turkey will beat them, because neither ra nhit a lob, even on the ! second bounce. That leaves it up to Germany ‘

and our dear fellows. And my guess is that well lose but one match to the Nazis —the one in which Von Cramm opposes Grant.
