jCubs, Robins Conquer Leaders in National Vet and Rookie Hurl A’s to Easy Triumphs Over Detroit; Bruins Nose Out Giants as Dodgers Mow Down Cards. BY LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 16.—Connie Mack’s pitching problem, which threatened to become serious despite the strong arms of George Earnshaw, Lefty Grove and Rube Walberg, apparently has been solved by the acquisition of Waite Hoyt and the rapid development of young Henry McDonald. Since Hoyt went to Philadelphia from Detroit a little more than two weeks ago on waivers, he has turned in three victories in as many starts, while McDonald, Pacific Coast League rookie, has indicated in his last two starts that he is of major league caliber. f Without the one-time “boy wonder” of the New York Yankees or McDonald’s promise, the seven game lead which the Athletics have built up in the American League would appear none too safe.
