CHICAGO CUBS I AGAIN DEFEAT CARDINAL NINE Hang On To Lead In National; Gomez Hurls One-Hitter New York, July 1.- (U.PJ - The New York Yankees were a game nearer the "promised land" today while the Chicago Cubs clung savagely to their H-game National league lead. But those two facts must give way to dramatic individual exploits. Among the topnotch deeds on a day in which almost every major league diamond was drench ed with drama were: 1. Charlie Root, 38-year-old Cubs pitcher, winning his second game in succession over the Cardinals In a relief role. All last season he won only three games. 2. KJ Goofy Gomez hurling a one-hit ■ masterpiece against the Athletics to Increase the Yanks' lead to four games. 3. Wesley Ferrell beating his old club, the Red Sox, with his hurling and hitting. And he did it against the man he was traded fob-. Buck Newsom.. Jt4. Slick Castleman hurling a Tur-hit game to keep the New >rk Giants snapping at the Cubs’ Tieels. I • 5. Frank Gabler, the man Bill ■ Terry didn't want, and Guy Bush, cast off by two National league clubs, pitching the Boston Bees to twin shut out victories ovet; Brook lyn, making 30 consecutive innings the Bees have blanked the Dodgers—a throwhack to baseball 30 years ago. 6. Tommy Bridges pitching Detroit back into third place, and snapping the Chicago White Sox seven-game winning streak with a five-hit pitching performance. Any game was worth sl.lO yes ! terday. If hitting is your dish you I would have gotten your big thrill j in Sportsman's Park, St. Louis.' where the Cubs slugged the Card-1 Inals for a 9-4 triumph, making 20 hits and knocked their ex-team- 1 mate, Lon Warneke, out of the hex. Agai ntlie Cubs came from.

behind to win after trailing. 4-1. 'at the start of the sixth Bill I .1 urges. with four singles, Rip Col- | Uns. with three, and Gabby Hart- ! nett, with a homer and a double, led the Cubs' attack. As on Tues- ' day Root came In as a relief pitcher and silenced the Cardinal bats, allowing no hits in 2 2-3 Innings. If it's pitching you crave the Beehive in Boston would have given you two ample servings. Gabler outpitched Van Mungo to give the Bees a 1-0 victory in the first game. Bush scattered five hits to give the Bees a 7-0 triumph in the nightcap. Those two shutouts followed the Bees' 1-0 Victory in 12 innings Tuesday. Dick Bartell's 12th homer and Mel Ott's 16th aided the Giants in trimming the Phillies. 72. behind Castleman's four-hit twirling to keep New York breathing on the Cubs' throat. In the other National league game, the Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the Cincinnati Reds. 6-0. behind the seven-hit pitching by Cy Blanton in a night game. Gomez gave up only one hit. a homer by Bob Johnson, as the Yanks beat the Athletics, 5-1. Hank Greenberg's 17th homer with a man on base bellied Detroit triumph over the White Sox, 4-1. behind Bridges' classy pitching, i Cleveland pounded out 17 hits, including two homers by Hal Trosky, as the Indians shellacked the St. Louis Browns. 10-3. Wes Ferfell, said by many to be the hardest player in baseball to handle, paid off his ex-team-mates for shipping him to Washington by throttling the Red Sox, 6-4. Not only did Ferrell bold , Boston to nine hits, but his single in the eighth drove in the tying and winning run. Another run was incidental. Buck Newsom, involved in the deal for Ferrell, was the losting pitcher. Yesterday's heroes: Boston’s muchly-maligned Bees who achiev--led one of the greatest feats in modern baseball by blanking BrookI lyn for 30 straight innings, as a ; result of yesterday's double shutout. —. o BATTING LEADERS — i Player Club GAB R H Pct. i Medwick, Cards .. 60 233 56 94 .403 | P.Waner, Pirates 62 248 50 94 .379 (Gehrig, Yankees.. 61 222 51 83 .374 I Vaughan, Pirates. 62 247 38 90 .364 | Herman, Cubs 47 206 42 75 .364 Meeting Os League Is Postponed One Week I The monthly meeting of the AdI ame county fish and game conservation league scheduled for next Monday night has been postponed until the following Monday, July 12, because of the Fourth of July celebration here on that night.

CINCINNATI TO MEET CARDINALS j Kentucky Governor Will Warm Up With Reds >j Sunday ' Cincinnati, July 1- (Special 1- ’ Appearance of the most colorful ' team in the major leagues, the Gushouee Gang of St. la>uls, for a ’ doubleheader Sunday and the observance of "Kentucky Day have served us the stimulation to produce the greatest interest in any ’ of Cincinnati's basebull attractions since opening day. ; The Cardinals will move into ' Crosley Field Saturday for a single game, will play their series' con- , eluding doubleheader on the following afternoon, starting at 1:30, [ then will rest while their stent prepare to participate in the all-star game scheduled at Washington on , July 7. The observance of "Kentucky Day," will be featured by the prei sence of Governor A. iB 1 . Chandler i at Crosley Field. A former ball play- . er himself, Governor Chandler has agreed to don a Cincinnati uniform and work out with the Reds before . the start of the first game Sunday's doubleheader will mark : the Reds' final appearance at their ■ home field until they return home for a night game against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, July 12. The recent rise of the Cincinnati club was consistent with their per-j formance of a year ago, when they I went on a rampage in the month of I ; lune to win 17 of the 24 games in which they participated. The Reds I started poorly again this year, after -brilliant pre-season predictions, but with the coming of June have struck the stride predicted for them. They are regarded now by the to-p flight teams as one of the leading stumbling blocks to the contenders, one of which is the St. Louis team. The Cardinals are fighting des- , perately for the top berth -in the National League pennant scifmble. i They must continue to win to remain in the thick of this fight, so ■ the Gashouse Gang necessarily . must emit more gas than ever against Dressen's crew of hustlers. ♦ a | Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) ♦ ♦ New York. July I—(U.P.1 —(U.P.) —Along - gasoline alley my compatriot Rex ' I Mays is being named to upset a 1 ; highly favored foreign contingent and come home first in the 300mile pretzel parade at Roosevelt raceway Saturday. Now nothing could be more gratifying to my rabid national- ; istlc spirit. It would fill me with pride to know that European drivers were not a whit superior to our U. S. pilots. It would, in a . measure, repay me for one of the I most disagreeable afternoons of .| my existence. And I refer to last .Oct. 12 when foreign drivers finj ished 1-2-3-4-5 in the first renewal II of the George Vanderbilt cup race. r This hint that California's 24- ( year-old racing son might have a chance to win the July 3 gasoline f grind sent me scurrying to the serpentine Roosevelt course yesterday. And, the first thing that caught my eye, was the way in P which nine of the 16 turns had i been ironed out. Then I began watching for the heavy-footed Mr. E Mays, called the “smoothest drivi er” in America by Tommy Milton, that great pilot who won the Indi- ! anapolis classic back in 1921 and I 1923. I didn't have long to wait. Coming wide-open around the new I parabolic curve at the start of the straightaway. Mays thundered past the azure bine stands at better than 140 miles an hour. But my i dream of an American triumph I was shattered a moment later when a silver bolt of lightning flashed past, and I heard someone say “Rosemeyer.” It was Bernd Rosemeyer, and he was driving that 16-cylinder machine called an auto union in which he won six out of seven of the grand prix races in Europe last year. The electric timer caught him at better than 159 ■ miles per hour. What chance could ! Mays have beating this 400-horse-power, rear-engined juggernaut? It didn’t seem reasonable, and I began to think I’d gotten a bum steer. But, I stayed to see some more, and the more I saw the better I understood why Rex might have more than an outside chance. Mays is driving an eight-cylin-der Alpha-Romeo purchased by that racing enthusiast Bill White after the Italian road racing team romped away with most ot the honors at last year’s Vanderbilt inaugural. It isn’t as fast as the German Auto Unions down the straight stretches, but Mays puts her into the turns like he used to jockey those benzine buggies around the mile and half-mile dirt "bull rings” at the county fairgrounds. There isn't a foreigner on the track negotiating those new banked curves like Rex. The Auto Unions, I noticed, were particularly slow around the I bends. Rosemeyer and his driving
