Everything hinged on today's game. If the Giants can sneak it away from Curt Davis and the Cubs they will advance 3 4 gain, s into the lead so far out front the Cubs may never catch them. If they lose. Chicago once more will be pounding at their heels with a fair <hance of overtaking the leaders and landing in the world series with the New York Yankees. The standings: W. L. Pct. Be.

Both teams were relaxed and confdent. The Giants w re looser in spirit and tighter in defensive play as they whipped the Cirbs. 6 to 0, yesterday than they have been for many days. They chided each other unmercifully on the bench and on the fie'd looked more like the spectacular defensive Cubs than the Challengers. Virtually impossible stops byDick Bartell and Mell Ott kept lefty Cliff Melt, ,n well ahead of his opponents as the towering Southpawhung up his 18th victory of the season and sent the Giants 2 4 games into the lead before 41.857 disappoint ?d fans. It was his first victoryover the Cubs this season —against two defeats. Manager Bi’l Terry of the Giants, who thawed out considerably as his club evened the series, indicated he would assign Hal Schumacher, who lias lust three times t.- the Cubs thta season, to protect the comfortable lead.

SUBWAY SERIES AGAIN LIKELY Yanks Need Only One Victory; Giants Lengthen League Lead New York, Sept. 23 <U.R) Another "subway" world series was in prospect today with the 1 Yankees needing only one more victory to clinch the American j league pennant and the Giants once more in the driver's scat after cooling off the Cubs ill the National league. The Giants regained their 2’g game lead yesterday by checking the Cubs' 5-gaine winning streak.! 6-0, before a crowd of 41,875 at Wrigley Field. Hero of the Giants' victory was Clift' Melton. 6 foot 5inch southpaw. Jack Doyle, Broadway priceinak--1 er. quoted the Giants 1-3 to win the pennant, and explained that the reason the price wasn't shorter was because of a schedule which calls for four New York doubleheaders In four successive days the last week of the season. "The Giants had lietter have a 3-game lead when they start those double-headers." said Doyle, "or they might get the jitters.” The Yankees clinched a tie for <he American league pennant byblasting the St. Umis Browns twice. 4-1 and 11-0. The Yanks won the opener on 3 hits, including a homer by Lazzeri with one on. Kemp Wicker kept the Browns' 7 hits scattered in the second game. Powell hit a homer 1 with one on. bringing the Yanks' home run total for the season to 166. Manager Joe McCarthy hopes to nail down the flag in today s game with the Browns, using his righthand ace. Red Ruffing. Either a Yankee victory or a Detroit defeat will clinch the pennant for NewYork. Tommy Bridges won his 15th game as Detroit defeated the Boston Red Sox. 6-4. Rudy York hit homer No. 33 with two on. In the other American league games the Chicago White Sox trimmed the Athletics. 9-3. and Washington won from Cleveland. 6-4 The Cardinals increased their hold on third place in the National league to a game and a half by defeating Brooklyn. 4-2. It was the Dodgers' eighth straight defeat. Milt Shoffner pitched the Boston Bees to a 10-inning. 3-2. victory I over the Pirates. The Phillies replaced Cincinnati in seventh place by defeating the Reds. 3-2, before 749 fans, low for the year at Cincinnati. A homer by Hershei Martin and triples by Camilli and Whitney won the game Yesterday's hero — Cliff Melton. Giants' rookie southpaw who handcuffed the Cubs with a 6-hit pitching performance and won his first game of the year over Chicago. 6-0, to boost the Giants' lead to 2’g games. o ♦ * Today’s Sport Parade (By Hsnry McLemore) ♦ • Houston. Tex.. Sept. 23. —<U.R)East is east and west is west —and neither understand Dizzy Dean. In the east we think of the celebrated pitcher as a screwball of the highest order, with eccentric dressing, and topped with shipped daffiness. In the west—well, they think the same thing, only they garnish him up with diced didoes and water (on the brain) cress. I found this out after only a fewhours in Houston, which is the city where Dizzy pitched for several years before going to the St. Louis Cardinals. And I found 1t out first hand. My unofficial host in Houston is Andy Anderson, sports editor of the press, and Andy knows the Dizzy one so well that on that fateful night he chose to get married. Andy stood up—at the home plate of the, Houston ball park. I believe —as best man. • "For one year at least,” Andy told me, “Dizzy was the best news NO ONE ELSE NEED SIGN .

in this town. He was much better than the police beat or the courthouse heat or any other beat. Damn if I wasn't afraid to go out on a party at night for fear he'd do something and I'd miss it. "I remember that night Dizzy got married. As best man. 1 took his fiancee. Pat. to the church. Diz didn't even have enough money to buy a ring. "After the wedding I took Dizzy and Mrs. Dean to their hotel. It was Friday afternoon. That is the big baseball night in Houston. | It's ladies night, and al Ithe gals 1 get in free. As we drove to the hotel, with Diz and Mrs. Diz in; the backseat. Diz put his arm , around his bride. 'Honey', he said 'I ain't got any money now. I'm just a country boy startin' out. But I'll tell you. I'm gonna give you a fine wedding preesnt tonight. I'm gonna let those Fortworth monkeys down with two“hits. I'm gonna fan 13 men. and shut em out.” "There was a guy named Yam Yargan on the Fort Worth team," continued Andy, "and it so happens that earlier in this day his team had asked waivers on him. It was his last game in the Texas league, and he knew it. Came the ninth inning. Diz had fanned 11 men. The score was nothing to nothing. He had two strikes on this Yargan. so Dix got getting smart. So he throws one in there. Waist high. In the groove. Yargan takes a cut at it and knocks it over the fence for the ball game. . As the team walked off the field Diz picked out Yargan and goes to ’ him. yelling: " ‘You dirty so-and-so. ain't you got no feeling? Here I go and make a promise to my wife about a wedding gift and you make a liar out of me.’ ” Dizzy, according to Anderson, used to keep Fred Ankeiiman. president of the Houston club, just on the outskirts of the lunatic asylum. Hardly a day passed but that Dizzycalled Ankenman and told him. with pin sihn viao mgn' cmfw RF with pain in his voice, that something had happened to his arm. and that he never could pitch again. Ankenman would race over to see Dizzy, only to find him in the lobby, laughing and laughing at his joke. Dizzy's brother. Elmer, is quite a card. too. Elmer is a peanut seller in the Houston park. His cry of "hey. lady, want to buy a goober?" is a byword in Houston. It was Elmer, who. after Mr. Dean Sr., had packed to attend the 1934 world series between St. Louis and Detroit, noticed that his father's

Mr. Dean regretted the sloppypacking. and said it would all have to be done over again. “Don't be crazy." said Elmer. "1 go’ a better idea than that." So grabbing a pair of scissors.
