LEAD AT STAKE I ! AS GIANTS AND' CUBS BATTLE — Four-Game Series Be11 tween Leaders Opens At Chicago Today i New York. June 7- (URL—One of ; the oldest and bitterest feuds in ' the National League was renewed today with the Chicago Cubs battling the New York Giants at Wrig- : ley Field. Chicago, for the league i lead. Cubs against Giants in a dog-eat-dog battle brings back memories of many raging diamond skirmishes — with John J. McGraw matching wits against Frank Chance, the peerless leader; playoff games with the title in the balance: and great pitching duels with Christy Mathewson and Mordecoi Brown, among others, making mound his- ' tory. As the clubs moved into action today the Cubs held a .002 per-, centage lead, having moved to the top two days ago in a sustained drive which came simultaneously. with a long Giant losing streak. ' I Until the Giants hit this rough passage in which they lost six | I straight, they had held the league j lead continuously since early in the i season. Opposing moundsinen today were | i Cliff Melton, the mountain music I boy of the Giants’ staff with a rec-1 ord of 7 victories and 2 defeats, and ■ Big Bill Lee. Cubs’ right-hander: who has pitched three consecutive : I shutouts and allowed only one run ' in the last 46 innings. The Cubs held their league lead yesterday by slugging out a 10-8 ■ victory over the Phillies. Belting | Bucky Walters and Pete Sivess for I ■ all their runs in the first four in- 1 nings. the Cubs staved off late rallies by the Phils. Frank Demaree ' ! led the Cubs’ 12-hit attack with three singles. Whitney and Mueller hit homers for the Phils. Breaking their six-game losing streak the Giants triumphed over' Cincinnati, 12-2. Johnny McCarthy came out of a prolonged slump with { three singles and a double, driving in four runs. Hal Schumacher kept the Reds' eight hits scattered. In addition to beating the Reds, the Giants left town with second baseman Alex Kampouris to plug their leaking infield gap. The Giants gave outfielder Wally Berger for the little Greek infielder, who al- < ways has played his best at the Polo Grounds. In the other two National League games Brooklyn won from Pitts- ■ burgh. 9-4. by scoring seven runs in a first inning salvo, and the St. Louis Cardinals triumphed over the Boston Bees. 11-2, with little Roy Henshaw, the pitcher they had ' to take on a ruling by Commissioner Landis, allowing only six hits. Joe Medwick had a perfect day. "4 for 4.” The Yankees clipped a game off the Indians' American League lead by coming from behind to trim the | St. Louis Bowns. 6-5, while Cleve- J land lost an 11-inning game to Washington. 5-4. After spotting ' I the Browns five runs the Yankees ; came back to pull the game out of the fire when Joe DiMaggio hit ■ I homer No. 8, with a mate on base.. 1 and Frankie Croc?»’l ,tanged out 1 the game winning single in the eighth. After staging a three-run rally in the ninth to tie the score,! j Cleveland succumbed to the Senators in the 11th when Zeke Bo- i nura’s double drove in the winning I run. Bobby Doerr’s single in the ninth i climaxed a series of rallies which enabled the Boston Red Sox to' , overtake the Detroit Tigers for a j 8-7 victory. At one time Detroit ! held a 7-2 lead. Jimmy Foxx hit I 1 [ Cub bench where he spet most of his four years in the majors . . . He’ll still work for P. K. Wrigley in the off season. Jimmy Foxx, still doing pretty well himself, thinks Bob Grove is the best pitcher in baseball- —past I and present . . . Foxx believes the | 38-year-old left-hander will get bet- ! ter as the season oges on and Grove already has won nine, lost one for the Boston Red Sox . . . ' j During their Cub series the Boston Bees had only one .300 hitter on ' the field and left town still in 1 third place.

j homer No. 14 to break his deadlock’ ! for the American home run leader-1 I ship. Yesterday's hero — Hal Schu-j 1 tnacher. Giants’ right-hander, whoj stopped his team’s nosedive by | halting the Cincinnati Reds with ! an eight-hit game. o | Today’s Sport Parade | By Henry McLemore Denver, Colo.. June 7. —<U.R) —It's 1 complaint time in the Rockies, not springtime. Here in the land of the eternal ' snow, the boys who make a living at golf are raising an eternal open I championship which 'starts on Thursday. They say the rough is so deep and jungly that only a foolhardy man would venture into it without first sending in his stalker and native beaters. They say the fairways are so narrow that a snake I could not crawl down them with- | out havig his fenders scratched by the bordering trqps and vegetation. 1 Before Thursday they probably will have put the blast on the ' | club’s cooking, the ratified air, the scor pads in the card room, and ' the cut of the caddies' clothes. No I one will take offense at this, or i hold it too seriously, because just i as there is an unwritten law which guarantees a citizen the right to | put anything he wants to in a Mar- ■ tint —be it olive, onion, or prune—i so is there an unwritten law which I allows the golf professional to ati tack the national open course. i They always do. If golf is play- ! ed in Valhalla you may rest as- ! sored there are pros op there who : objeit to the gold greens, pearl I fairways, and the bilk ant honey s hazards. The squawks of the pros on the I eve of all national opens are baset j on their belief that officials of the host clob always got out of their way to stiffen their course for the ! open. In fairness to the professionals, | it must be sait that this is some- | times true. Every once in a while the boys run into a club where the members are very vain about the j toughness of their course and have i pledged that its par won't be banged about by even the game’s great- i est scorers. So they set out to ! increase its hazards, by fair means or foul. Traps are juggled, greens are skinned, and the pins placed ' in treacherous spots. The pros were very bitter about the way they found Oakmont a few years ago, and said its greens were as unfair as eleven ounces to a pound. Ad they kicked mightily at Oakland Hills last year, saying the rough was far too long and heavy. They had to take back this I criticism, however, when Ralph I Guldahl turned in a record score i of 281 —two strokes better than the mark Tony Manero had establlsh:ed at Baltusrol a year earlier. And Baltusrol was not touched by j officials. It played for the pros I just as it had always played for j its members. I haven’t seen the new Cherry I ! Hills layout, being as my train didn’t get me here until an hour jor so ago. I saw the course last fall when the changes for the open were just being started. At that time it seemed eminently fair and a shade on the easy side. It was to me, you perhaps remember, that ' UlwbOU Little gave the story in i New York a few months back, of i

1 how Cherry Hills would be burned to bits by the pros, and how r record score of 280 or less would be the winning total. That story 1 brought me many indignant proi tests from Denver folk, and also many offers of bets. Since the time of the story little seems to have changed his mind about the course. I have read where he says ■ the changes have made it "ridiculous." and a score of anywhere beI tween 290 and 300 might win. I’ll have to talk to him about ' that.

June 7^(U.R) —A break is threatened between southern China and the nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-’ Shek. according to an unqualified but unconfirmed report from Hankow today.
