- COMEBACK OF CHICAGO CUBS IS TALK OF THE LEAGUE

Gaining 1 Lost Ground After

Early Retreat

Yankees Start Western Trip. By Knocking Off Detroit "By 10-1 Score.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 5—The comeback of the Chicago Cubs was the talk of the National League today.

The Cubs have checked their early retreat and are making up lost ground with a typical Chicago winning streak. - They lost 6 out of their first 7 games, but today had a 4-game winning, streak intact and, although in sixth place, were only half a game out of first division. Four straight by the Cubs isn’t remarkable in itself. The miraculous part of it is they are climbing with seven players—six of them regulars—on the hospital list. The Cubs have had enough tough breaks to wreck any ordinary team. Three regular pitchers, French, C. Davis -and Carleton, are out.. The two first-string catchers, Hartnett and O'Dea, are| ailing. Second baseman Billy Herman is injured. The seventh casualty is = thirdstring catcher Garbark.

Spot Phillies Three

The Cubs spotted the Phillies a three-run lead yesterday and came on to win, 14-7. Roy Parmelee won his second victory for the Cubs although rapped for 13 hits. The Cubs: laid down a 19-hit barrage on Mulcahy,. B Sivess - and Kelleher, CE by Collins, Marty and Bottarini. The Cubs have made 36 runs in their last four games, averaging 9 runs to a game, and lead the league in runs, with 63 in 11 games. i With Lefty Gomez pitching a four-hit game the New York Yankees began their Western tour by, knocking off Detroit, 10-1, and going into a tie with the Tigers for the American League lead. The Yanks made 14 hits off Wade and Gill, with Crosetti hitting a double and homer. A triple steal by Chapman, Lewis and Simmons featured Washington’s 12-5 triumph over Cleveland in 11 innings. They worked the triple steal with the score tied 5-5 and

C. card here last night saw Jim McMillen, the former Illinois University football star, on the short end of the struggle with big George Zaharias, the Colorado “Crying Greek.” McMillen annexed the first fall during a rough scrimmage in five minutes by employing a flying tackle and body press. The second “down” was captured by Zaharias in 21 minutes with a combination headlock and body press, and in a wild scramble for the third fall McMillen was counted out while on the floor outside the ring. The adversaries punched, jabbed and kicked and in a scrimmage near the ropes both rolled out of the ring as the first row of customers scrambled to safety. Zaharias broke loose and as he was Sumbing back McMillen grabbed him and was sent sprawling again with , Zaharias” heel. Jim failed to gaift the ring as Referee Buchanan tolled off the count of 20 and Zaharias was awarded the fall and match.. McMillen was the fans’ favorite and for a short time it looked like the

Standing 6 feet 11% inches and weighing 230 pounds, Shanty looked in fine condition for a big man. “Nobody was doing much hitting on the Washington club at the start of the race,” Hogan said, “and I believe I was entitled to a longer trial. I caught in nearly all of the spring exhibition games and was complimented by Manager Harris.”

Has Boost for Riddle

“The transfer to Indianapolis came as a surprise, but I'm glad Johnny Riddle takes my place. He's a credit to baseball and is better than a lot of catchers who have been in the big show for years. “The Indians offered me suitable terms and I mean to step right into harness and try for another chance in the majors. No, I'm not fast, but I think I ¢an hit that ball and hold up the pitchers.”
