GIANT WINNING STREAK BROKEN BY CINCINNATI Recto Win. 10-2: Cabe Score 5-2 Victory Over Phillies New York, May 4 (U.R) There was plenty of food for thought today in rehashing the results of ' the season's first east west inter-' sectional games.

i the Phillies to eight hits in seven Innings is perhaps the most intriguing happening of a highly interesting day. The question is: Does Dizzy really have a sore arm or is he indulging himself in his flair for hlstronlcs? But who can answer it. When Dizzy pitches he looks good, but he keeps walking off the mound. At any rate Charlie Grimm is certainly going all the way in humoring him. Homers by Joe Marty and Gabby Hartnett featured the Cubs' triumph. The Giants' luck finally ran out on them.

DEAN EXPECTED ’ TO TAKE TORN Manager Grimm Says Dizzy Will Pitch In Turn Saturday Chicago. May 4 —(UP)— Dizzy ’ Dean, whose expensive and enigI matic right arm has the baseball world asking questions .probably i will take his regular turn on the I mound againet the Boston Bees Saturday, manager Charley Grimm said today. Grimm said he felt no alarm over rhe fact that for the third time iu I four starts Dean was unable to go I the route yesterday against the Philladelphia Phillies. Diz has gone the distance only once since ho was i obtained from the St. I»uis Cardinals for 1185.000 and three [ layers I April 16—That was when he pitch- | ed a five-hit shutout against his old ■ teammates a week after he swappj ed uniforms. Dean was yanked for a pinch hither yesterday after he allowed the | cellar-dwelling Phillies eight hits land two runs in seven full Innings, and chalked up his third triumph of 1 the season. 5-2. "He was tired out and weak.” I Grimm explained. “He didn't comI plain to me of any soreness in his arm. He just hasn't ‘been in shape. 1 expect him to tatke his turn, however. which means he will probably pitch against the Bees Saturday.” The eccentric right hander corroborated his manager's remarks. "1 grew weary out there yesterday. ” Dean said. "I guess 1 wasn't in shape for nine innings." STAGEHAND IS BADLY BEATEN Red-Hot Derby Favorite Soundly Beaten In Pre-Race Test Louisville. Ky.. May 4.— (U.R) — He's known as Stagehand, but today he held the center of the stage and no hero or heroine ever stood under a hotter spotlight. This is the city of horses, but today, with the Kentucky derby ; only three afternoons away it talkI ed of but one horse - Stagehand, j winner of the winter's two richest | races, conqueror of the great SeaI biscuit, trained by the one and ! only Earl Sande, and the red-hot | favorite in pre-derby ibetting. There wasn't a race track fan in Ixiuisville —and the town literally is running over with them already —who didn't want to know the true explanation of Stagehand's performance in yesterday’s derby trial of one mile at Churchill Downs. As you know. Stagehand ran a rather poor third as his less famed stablemate, this Chief, outgamed and outlasted Lawrln in a head-to-head duel down the stretch. He had been expected to win it. The odds of 2 to 5 on the entry proved that. The boys and girls weren't betting on the Chief. Fully 10 schools of thought sprang up as the winner of the Santa Anita derby, and the richer Santa Anita handicap, crossed the line soundly beaten. One school has as its theory | that Sande simply sent Stagehand ‘ out for the exercise, after giving 1 ! jockey Westrope explicit instructions to hold him well in check. , Anofher school says this is a fool- ' ish belief and gives as argument the undeniable fact that Westrope went to the whip and soundly, at the top of the stretch. School No. 3 argues that when Westrope, at the top of the stretch, I saw that The hies was able to

take care of laiwrin. eased up and contented himself with third money. School No. f answers this by asking how Westrope, smart as ho Is. could tell that The Chief was going to win that bitter, stride for stride run down the payoff road. There are many who contend that Stagehand ran his usual race but was burned out by the terrific pace of his stablemate and Lawrin. It was a hot race. too. because the winner had to tie the track record of 1:35 45. established by Peace Chance in 1935. Others expressed the opinion that Stagehand reached his peak in California and that even the great Sande hasn't been able to lift him again. It will boa sad day to tens of thousands of winter book players if Stagehand is pushed into the wings by his rivals on Saturday. Not for many a year has a derby eligible gotten the play that Stagehand has. A fortune will be riding on him when he answers tbe bugle. It looks now as if Stagehand will ; have 11 or 12 rivals at the post. I These are The Chief, Fighting Fox. I Dauber. Bull Lea. Lawrin. Menow. Mountain Ridge, Can’t Wait, CoSport. Wise Fox. and Elooto. It would surprise no one. however, if Wise Fox. Elooto. and Co-Sport were scratched. 0 ... HOME RUNS Goodman, Reds 5 Lazzeri. Cubs 4 McCartl|V. Giants . 4 Giants 4 Ripple.
