CARL HUBBELL FINALLY HALTS LOSING STREAK Giants Cut Cubs’ Lead; Dizzy Dean Noses Out Brooklyn I New York, June 24. (U.R) Basebull's big center of attraction today was the torrid National league pennant race with only one game separating the league-lead-ing Chicago Cubs and their two bitter rivals, the Cardinals and Giants. Even Pittsburgh, in fourth place | hilt only three games off the pace, is in a position to make trouble. Any one of the four might win the pennant. • ' But there were other high sports tu cotislder in yesterday s games: 1. Carl Hubbell, after being knocked out of the box six straight | times, regained the winning touch and pitched his first complete , game since May 19 to beat the Cubs. 2. Dizzy Dean, despite another ’ display of temper, had luck on i his side as the Cardinals beat the Dodgers on four hits. 3. The Chicago White Sox blanked the A's, 2-0, on three hits, two of which were homers by Mike Kreevich and Luke Appling. 4. The Boston Bees and Philadelphia Athletics had collapsed, j The Ikes lost their Uth straight game and the A's their ninth in a row. 5. Hank Greenberg hit a homer with the bases loaded in a losing cause. Paul Waner had a per feet day at bat. "4 for 4”; Hugh Mulcahy hurled a four-hit shutout against Cincinnati; Washington gathered 17 hits which gave the Senators their fourth straight. The high spot of the day went to Hubbell, who pitched the Giants to an 8-4 victory over the Cubs. Hnbbel was almost invincible for the first seven innings, allowing the Cubs no runs and six scattered hits. With an eight-run lead he eased up in the eighth and the Cubs pounded out four runs. Berger, Ott and Leslie hit homers for New York. Hubbell's record is how nine won and three lost. Dizzy Dean pulled through to Ms Uth victory when the Cards beat the Dodgers. 3-2, on four hits.

MIES NINE TO MEET PORTLAND FOR NEXT FOE Strong Portland Team To Play At Worthman Field Sunday Decatur’s semi-pro baseball team will be trying for their third consecutive victory Sunday afternoon when they play hosts to the Portland Panthers. The game will be called at 2:30. Portland is reported as having the best team this year that they have produced for many years. They come to Decatur undefeated this season, although it is not known here how many games they have played. Molly Mies and his teammates seem to take a malicious delight in entertaining undefeated clubs and sending them home in shame. Two weeks ago they clipped the Fort Wayne Coloit-d Giants after that team had won four straights. Last Sunday the locals pounced upon the City Light Tigers of Fort Wayne, leaders of the Federation league, who had not been beaten this year. Decatur blasted two pitchers tor thirteen hits and nine runs. Molly Mies states that he has the hardest hitting team he ever managed, and points to a total of 24 hits in two games to prove it. Outstanding bat work has been demonstrated by Rol laidd and Vaufan Snedeker. Snedeker has also been playing sensational ball at first base. Chuck Williams, manager of the Portland Panthers, is said to be coming here prepared for the worst. When told by Mies in a telephone conversation yesterday that the locals were famous for stopping undefeated teams. Chuck is quoted as saying: “You'd better be good." Which, according to Mies, was a direct challenge and one that will not catch the Decatur team unprepared. o Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) « « Chicago, June 24—(U.R)- Phrenology is a fake. It is a snare and a delusion, and t as unreliable as a red headed gal or a snake on a rock. As a science it is about as exact as rocket schedules to the moon. I know, because 1 depended on phrenology to give me the winner of the Braddock-Louis fight. To master phrenology I subscribed to a course that cost me $lO, and there can be no denying that I mastered it because at the end of the 15 lessons the postman i brought me an announcement that my fellow students hail elected me (1) most likely to succeed. (2) homeliest, <3) valedictorian, (41 most likely to fail, and, (5) , baccalaureate sermon giver-offer. As prize pupil I sat down the day before the fight and read my head. Read it from forehead to nape, right ear to left ear, eye-; brow to No. 1 vertebrae. And, at the finish, my noggin told me that Braddock would win a 15-round de - cision over the black bey from Alabam’, and retain his hea\y weight championship of the world. The bumps on my head must be filled with typographical errors, because Braddock did no such thing. Aside from tremendous courage, he had nothing. He was slow, his timing was poor, ills once powerful right hand was but a gesture, and his craftsmanship

was on the novice side. As a result he was knocked stiffer that, a flagpole in the eighth round, end his Cinderella career brought to an abrupt and bloody end. Phrenology having double-cross-ed me so completely. 1 will be in :: fine quandary when Louis meets Max Schmeling and I am called upon to select a winner. I probably will fall back on the divining rod. 1 used to use one years ago, w’hen I was an assistant well-digger, and found it fairly reliable. The divining rod is very useful in finding water, so if it fails to bring me a winner I can always find a lake in which to i jump. Louis and Schmeling are certain to fight. A bout between this fair is as natural as 7-11. and couldn't miss luring enough customers to lift the gate well above ; the million mark. It's not going 1 to be an easy one to promote, however. Louis won’t be hard to sign, but the German —ah, my friends, hes another Tunney for brains. Given the run-around once, he'll want everything but Alaska and the riparian rights on the Pacific , ocean to become a partner in the crime. 1 happen to know that when he sailed for Germany recently a member of the Mike Jacobs promotional staff offered him a guarantee of $300,000 to agree to return and fight Ixmis, providing Louis won the tltla. But Maxie, the smart one. just laughed his best teutonic laugh and said: “Make it $600,000 and I'll be interested.” The agent told Maxie not to be absurd; that he would have grandchildren around his knees before he'd get a guarantee of $600,000. But Max may very well get that guarantee before the snow flies, te we say in our set. He's in the driver's seat, and can durn near get anything he demands. Louis , can make some money fighting Tom. Dick, and Milton, but the real fight, with the real dough, is one between the German and the i champion.
