CUBS' DOUBLE LOSS TIGHTENS NATIONAL RACE Lose Twice To Brooklyn As Hubbell Again Beats Dean New York. June 28 -U.R) The National league pennant race was' ' tied up tighter than a sailor's knot today by virtue of the leading Chicago Cubs' surprise double-header ; defeat by Brooklyn, and Carl Hubbell’s brilliant return to form in pitching the New York Giants to an easy victory over Dizzy Dean of the second-place St. Louis Cardinals. These results left the Cubs pacing the race with a percentage of .600: the Cardinals second with 593. and the Giants third with 590. Only half a game separated the third-place New Yorkers from the top rung Cubs. It was an historic event when ■ BurlCgh Grimes' Dodgers downed Chicago twice yesterday in the Tubs’ home park. Van Mungo broozed to an 8-3 decision in the . first game, and Luke Ham.'m I yielded only three hits in the disconcerting nightcap victory, 6-3,. The largest Chicago crowd of the year. 36,393 fans, saw Van Mungo yield 10 hits in the opener, but he kept them discreetly separated. • Meanwhile Mungos mates garner- i ed 10 hits off French. Parmelee, and Davis and turned them into eight runs. Over at St. Louis, Hubbell performed before an overflow crowd iof 38,719 fans and limited the i Cardinals to six scattered hits, while his comrades clouted Dizzy Dean as he seldom has been clout-1 :ed before. They piled onto the great Diz for 10 hits and six runs and brought Ray Harrell out of the bull pen in the seventh. This j onslaught on Dean was led by Mel Ott's 14th and 15th homers of the season. Ancient Jess Haines i entered the game for the Cards to finish the ninth. The score was 8-1. Meanwhile Pittsburgh remained in fourth place by beating the Phillies, 4-3, assisted by home runs from Arky Vaughan and Al Todd. The Boston Bees showed discontent with the cellar by downing the Cincinnati Reds twice 8-2 and 10-5. In the opener Danny I Macfayden held the Reds to six hits, and in the nightcap the Bees collected 16 safeties off Pollings- j worth. Davis and Schott. In the American league, the | New York Yankees held a three game lead, while Chicago’s White Sox replaced Detroit in second; place. The Yanks garnered 17 hits off three Detroit hurlers to' beat the Tigers. 9-5. Selkirk led the attack with four hits in five tries, including his I6th homer which tied him with Hank Greenberg for four-bagger honors. Steady pitching by Ted Lyons enabled the White Sox to down Washington. 5-3, while his mates collected 15 safeties off three Senator flingers The fourth place Boston Red Sox took both ends of a double header from St. Louis, 8-0 behind Jack Wilson's six-hit flinging, and 11-7, in the second after getting off to a 10-run lead in the first four frames. Cleveland and the Philadelphia Athletics split a twin bill. The Athletics won the opener, 10-0 behind George Caster’s four hit pitching, but the Indians i took the second contest, 7-2, when Willis Hudlin held the A's to six hits. Yesterday's hero — George Selkirk, Yankees—He drove in four runs against Detroit with four hits in five times, including his 16th homer of the season. o South Wayne U. B. Plays Here Tuesday The United Brethren softball team will play the South Wayne U. B. team of Fort Wayne in an exhibition game at the South Ward diamond Tuesday evening at 81 o’clock.
