GIANTS PASS CARDS IN N. L. CHASE

New Yorkers Win as Pirates Blank Birds Heine Meine Checks St. Louis With Eight Hits, No Runs; Cubs Trounce Reds to Move Into Third; A’s Rally to Drop Yankees. BY LEO H. PETERSEN Unit** Ptcm SUIT Correspondent NEW YORK, May 28 —A hard and steady drive which yielded eighteen victories in their la*t twenty-three games has enabled the New York Giant* to take the National League leadership away from the St. Louis Cardinals. Although they actually had led the Cardinals in games won

and lost, the McGrawmen did not reach first place until Wednesday, when they defeated Boston 7 to 4 while Pittsburgh shut out St. Louis, 4 to 0. Previously the 1930 pennant winners had held the edge by a few percentage point*. A six-run lead garnered in the first four innings allowed the Giants to coast to victory. Berly, & rookie, held the Braves at bay until the eighth Inning, when he was relieved by Heving. Heine Meine, star Pittsburgh right-hander, allowed the Cardinals only eight hits in shutting them out for the second time this year. The Pirates bunched their ten blow* off Johnson and Lindsey for two runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and another in the ninth. Chicago advanced into third place by winning from Cincinnati, 8 to 4. Bush went the distance for the Cubs, but was in constant trouble because of the eleven hits he allowed and the three errors turned In

behind him. Washington’s Senators moved into second place in the American League, four and one-half games behind Philadelphia, by taking both ends of a double-header from Boston, 11 to 3 and 4 to 3. The Senators collected eleven hits off three Red Sox hurlers in the opener and took

advantage of four Boston errors to win the second. Philadelphia shoved New York down to third place, 6 to 5. After the Yankees had gone into the lead in their half of the eighth inning, the Athletics came back to knock Sherid, who had relieved Pipgras, out of the box to score the tying and winning runs. Mickey Cochrane continued his heavy hitting and got a home run, double and single in four trips to the plate. Cleveland advanced to fourth

U. S. C. Heavy Favorite to Retain National Track t itle

BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 28. —The finest track and field athletes in America —considered strong enough to bring the United States the 1932 Olympic title —gathered here today for the fifty-fifth annual running of the I. C. A. A. A. A. games on Franklin field Friday and Saturday. The best the west can offer will be pitted against the strongest in the east and as in former years, the boys from beyond the Mississippi are expected to carry away more than their share of laurels. Southern California, with nine men back who scored points last year, is a heavy favorite to repeat its title winning performance of 1930. Stanford, defeated by the Trojans in a dual meet, is considered the team U, S. C. will have to beat out for the crown. Should the title go to either Southern California, California or Stanford, it would mark the tenth time in the last eleven years, that

place by defeating St. Louis, 5 to 4, while Detroit dropped a double header to the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 4 and 10 to 1. The defeat dropped the Tigers to sixth place, a half game behind Chicago. The lhdians scored four runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Browns while the White Sox staged a similar rally to win the opening game from Detroit. In the second contest, Pat Caraway allowed the Tigers but five hits.

the honor has gone to a Pacific coast institution. Penn, the east’s best, is regarded as entirely too weak in the sprints and hurdles to be conceded more than an outside chance. But in Barney Berllnger, Penn has the athlete who probably will prove the individual star of the two-day competition. Only one of the ten defending champions is rated as a certain repeater. The lone standout is Ken Churchill of California, whose specialty is throwing the javelin. The rest of the champions will have their worries, particularly Frank WykofT In the 100-yard dash. WykofT will have to come close to anew world’s record to beat such speedsters as Eddie Tolan, Hec Dyer, Frank Lombardi and Ray Delby. The other champions who hope to repeat are George Bullwinkle of City college of New York, in the mile; Dyer, in the 220; Gene Record of Harvard, in the high hurdles; Bill O’Connor of Columbia, in the high jump: Arnold West of Stanford, in the broad jump; Frank Conor of Yale, in the hammer throw; Bills Carls of Southern California, in the low hurdles, and Oscar Sutermeister of Harvard, in the pole vault.

McLarnin Wins Heated Tussle With Petrolle BY DIXON STEWART „ United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 28.—With Billy Petrolle, “the Fargo Express.’’ definitely sidetracked, Jimmy McLarnin today was well on the road toward the world’s welterweight championship. Jackie Thompson, Negro titleholder, now remains as the sole barrier to the throne, and McLarnin earned the right to attempt to clear this final obstacle when he scored a decisive ten-round victory over Petrolle at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night. McLarnin made an impressive showing in beating the rugged Petrolle and the fact that the bout attracted a crowd of 17,846 spectators who paid $82,377.38 to witness the ahow virtually assured him of being paired against Thompson in a title bout early next month. Each collected $17,546.25 as his share of the receipts.

The contest drew the Garden’s i biggest crowd of recent years and ! the receipts compared favorably I with notable gates for indoor boxing. * Petrolle, although eliminated from welterweight title consideration, was far from disgraced in his test with McLarnin and his game stand may win him a lightweight championship bout against Tony ! Canzoneri. The Fargo (N. D.) slugger made a game stand against a man who is rated as one of the truly great ringmen of the day and carried the fight to his heavier opponent all the way. The fight lacked the dramatic I quality of the previous Petrolle-Mc-I Larnin encounter ,last November in

which Pftrolle gave McLarnin a sound lacing. McLarnin held the upper hand throughout, but he took no chances against Petrolle’s deadly punching and abandoned his usual role of a sharp-shooting slugger to win on boxing skill. There were no knockdowns, and few of the thrilling slugging exchanges which featured the previous bout, but McLarnin punished Petrolle severely and when the contest was over the game little Fargo (N. D.) battler presented a sorry spectacle. McLarnin, who weighed 142 against Petrolle’s 138, was unmarked.
