DIZZY AND RIPPLE FINED FOR FIGHT IN ST. LOUIS

Carl Hubbell Chalks Up 22d

In Hectic Tilt

Giants’ Ace Undisturbed by Fracas Involving Most Of Players.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 20.—President Ford C. Frick of the National League today fined Dizzy Dean, St. Louis Cardinals’ pitcher, and Jimmy Ripple, New York Giants’ outfielder, $50 each for their part in yesterday's fight during game.

Frick sent the following telegram |

to each player: “For action on ball field tending to incite riot you are fined $50, payable this office within five days.” Frick said that he had discussed the matter over the telephone with Frank Frisch, Cardinals’ manager; Sam Breadon, Cardinals’ owner, and Bill Terry, Giants’ manager, all in St. Louis, and with the Giants’ owner, Horace Stoneham, here in New York.

Frick said that as soon as the |

fines were paid the matter would be closed. He declined further com- * ment, except to say that no disciplinary action was contemplated against other players. Out of the battle, in which almost every player of both teams was swinging, these facts stood out: 1. Carl Hubbell won his 22d straight game and was the coolest man in the park during the strife. He stayed out of the fighting and tended strictly to his pitching chores. 2. Dizzy Dean was soundly outpitched by Hubbell and lost control “of himself when a balk was called on him. 3. Dean obviously was throwing his “high, hard one” at the Giants’ heads. 4. The usually docile Giants proved as. tough as the Gashouse gang, giving punch for punch and carrying off a moral victory by outgaming the Cards.

22,694 See Game

The Giants won the ball game, 4-1, before 22,694 persons. Hubbell breezed on to his sixth straight triumph: this season, and his 22d since his last defeat July 13, 1936. He permitted only six hits, walked none and fanned seven. Joe Medwick’s homer in the second was the only run scored off him. Dean was nicked for seven hits, walked two, hit another and fanned five. The battling was the result of a balk decision called by - Umpire George Barr on Dean in the sixth when the Cards. led, 1-0. Whitehead singled and went to second on a sacrifice. Bartell flied to left, but Barr ruled that Dean failed to come to the necessary stop in his pitching motion after looking at the runner on second. Bartell came back and batted again. This time he lined to Pepper Martin, who dropped the ball, Whitehead scoring the tying run. Dizzy Can’t Take It

Dean tossed his glove in the air when the umpire called the balk. He gave every indication of wanting to quit the game. Then with the score tied, 1-1, singles by Chiozza and Joe Moore scored two .more runs. The Giants added another in the ninth after the rioting stopped. After the fifth inning Dean started throwing at the Giants’ heads. They were going up and down like duck pins. - Finally Ripple bunted down the first base line, but Second Baseman Brown fielded the ball, Mize covering first. Dean got in the play, anyway, and harely missed a headon collision with Ripple. In a second Dean and Ripple were swinging. The players of both teams raced to the scene and soon at least half a dozen fights were in progress. Chiozza swung at Dean, but players say his left hook clipped Don Gutteridge. Gus Mancuso and Mickey Owen started a private battle. When quiet was restored Mancuso and Owen were banished. -Police helped the umpires break up the battle, and escorted the Giants off the field after the game. Tommy Bridges held the Athletics to five hits in pitching Detroit to a 9-0 victory over Philadelphia. Gerald Walker hit in his 23d straight game. “Hank Green- . berg hit two doubles, driving in three runs. In the only other Americar League game Washington nosed out the St. Louis Browns, 9-8. Ben Chapman and Al Simmons each made 4 hits in 5 times at bat. The Senators laid down an 18-hit attack.

Fine Pitching

Gives Indians Three in Row!

Page Hurls Tribe Out of Last Place; McLaughlin Due Tonight.

Brilliant pitching in three consecutive games has lifted the Indians ou’ of the league cavern and has re-

Tribe camp. The home boys have won three consecutive games, all close affairs, and they are beginning to feel more like a ball club of double A standard. The Tribesters downed Kansas City last night, 2 to 1, and advanded from eighth place into a tie with Louisville for sixth. Action is to be resumed with the Blues under the Perry Stadium lights tonight and Manager Killefer plans to send Pat McLaughlin to the mound. And it’s Shanty Hogan’s turn to handle the backstopping. In a “battle of Pages” last night vance .of the Redskins outpitched Southpaw Phil of the Kawtown pastimers, kept seven hits fairly

‘| Phillips triumphed over the Ameri-

can Association champions, 3 to 2, in 14 innings. The unusual run of airtight contests, with the Indians finishing on the long end of short scores, stands as proof that the Killeferites have recovered from the jittery condition that sent them into a tailspin on the recent road trip through the West. Vance Page, Fred Berger and George Archie shared the Tribe spotlight last night. Berger blasted a home run over the distant left field wall in the second inning and also contributed a double and single. His double touched off the winning rally in the eighth: He connected after two down and Lewis was given an intentional pass. Archie’ Delivers Manager Zwilling ordered Phil Page to walk Lewis and gamble on George Archie. It was good strategy, but it didn’t work. Archie lined a single over second and Berger checked in at the plate with what proved to be the victory run. The Blues tallied their single
