By Eddie Ash BREWERS LOSE ELEVEN IN ROW
AND STILL CLING TO THE LEAD!
ELEVEN in a row on the wrong side o the ledger for Milwaukee. . . . Did the Brewers fall or were they
pushed? , . . They still hold to first place by a whisker, which is something at that. . . . But Fred Haney’s Hens may knock ’ em out of there today. . .
When defending
champions go on a toboggan ride the old confidence ebbs.
Mznager Killefer of the Indians pick d the wrong park
in which to pitch Garland Braxton, his 86-year-old south- | paw. i. . The former Brewer failed to last three innings in the Mien ois bandbox yesterday. . . . Too bad the Hoosiers dropped that one. . . . After gaining a 5-to- 1 lead.

AR ADMIRAL t OMOrTOW will attempt to become the fourth horse to score a “triple” in the 3-year-old field of classics—the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes. . . . Sir Barton in 1919, Gallant Fox in 1930 and Omaha in 1935 were the others. ... The Derby is a mile and a quarter, the Preakness a mile and three-six-teent1s, the Belmont a mile and a half. ... War Admiral’s, fighting rival, Pompoon, is reported in the “pink” for the long route and the race is a natural from the standpoint of
specfator appeal.
Attendance is expected to exceed the figures at the match between Zev, the American idol, and Papyrus, the Euragpean champion, at Belmont in 1923. . . . This corner
is stfinging with War Admiral.

Frick Acts After Hurler, Answers Queries With Writers Present.
By United Press : NEW YORK, June 4. — Dizzy Dean, ace pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals was ordered reinstated in 24 hours teday by Ford Frick, president of the National League. Reinstatement occurred at 11:25 a. m. (Indianapolis Time) 3 hours 20 minutes after Dean called upon Frick at the league offices, Dean was suspended for having been charged with making statements derogatory to Frick and to Umpire George Barr. In confer-
offered chances at reinstatement if he would refute or deny the statements. Dean, however, refused to sign any document. His reinstatement was made possible when he went through a set of questions and answers with Frick. Newspapermen signed the stenographer’s report of the affair. Frick also signed. Dean refused to do so. Frick then signed a statement making Dean’s reinstatement within 24 hours—in time to pitch tomorrow. ; “Well, I won my point,” Dean said. “I said I wouldn't sign anything and I didn’t sign anything.”
Stormy Session Held
Today’s session was a stormy one. Dean phoned Frick asking .for the
mediately to the league office. Several times during the proceedings angry shouts could be heard. The session was in two parts. The first one ended with Dizzy on the verge or being reinstated but he balked, saying he was going to take the case to Commissioner Landis. After some minutes Frick called Dean back to his office. With Dizzy went Manager Frankie Frisch of the Cardinals, and Secretary Clarence Lloyd. When this -meeting was over the report was signed and the matter supposedly closed.
Statement | Made Public
Following is the statement signed by newsmen and by Frick: “Mr. Frick—Mr. Dean you are quoted in the newspapers as making a statement to the effect that the balk rule was instituted by the National League office as a direct slap at you and constituted persecution. Did you or did you not make that statement? “Mr. Dean—1I did not. “Mr. Frick—Mr. Dean is it true that you were notified of the enforcement of the balk rule by this office one week before the balk was called? “Mr. Dean—I was warned Brooklyn. “Mr. Frick—Is it true that you were also notified on the day of the game to which the balk was called by Manager Frisch and Umpire Barr. “Mr. Dean—I was warned by Frank Frisch .
Denies Published Report
“Mr. Frick—You have been quoted in the paper in Bellville, Ill, as making a statement that the president of the National League and Umpire George Barr were the two biggest crooks in baseball. . Did you or did you not make that statement?” “Mr. Dean—I never said that. “Mr. Frick—I have here a wire from the editor of the Belleville Daily Advocate which says: ‘Article in our May 26 issue speaks for itself and contained an account of what was said at the Presbyterian Men’s Club dinner.’ Do you deny that that article is true? “Dean—]I didn’t say it.”

By United Press NEW YORK, June 4.-—Headed by War Admiral, seven select 3-year-clds were entered today for the 60th running of the rich Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park tomorrow. The Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner opened a 7-to-10 favorite to win the mile and a half classic, thus becoming the fourth horse in history to triumph in the three major 3-year-old specials. Opposing the Samuel D. Riddle colt, which again will be ridden by Charley Kurtsinger, will be Jerome H. Louchheim’s Pompoon, runnerup to the Man o’ War favorite in the Kentucky and Maryland | events; John Hay Whitney's Flying |Scot, H. Maxwell Howard's Sceneshifter; Mrs. H. C. Phipps’ Melodist,’ E. R.

By United Press MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 4—The Prize track title of the Middle West's outdoor season will rest on the spinning legs of Indiana’s four crack distance runners tonight in the 12th annual central intercollegiate championships. These hustling Hoosiers — Don Lash, Jimmy Smith, Tommy Deckard and Mel Trutt—ran away with the meet under the lights in Marquette Stadium a, year ago and 33 schools from 12 states failed to produce a visibly stronger contender for 1937. ; “Only severe opposition may come from Pittsburgh, victor by half a point in the gaimes at New York
last Week. Michigan's Big Ten champions failed to enter. An assault on the 16 meet records began in premilinaries this -afternoon. Nine marks—in the hurdles, 440, 830, mile, two mile, high jump, discuss and javelin throw—may be too low to survive.

Garner 13 Blows Against 14 for Millers; Another Slugfest Forecast Today.
Times Special MINNEAPOIAS, June 4—The Indians continue to hammer the ball | and even when defeated they are making it tough on the Millers. With the series standing one apiece ancther battle royal was expec to be staged at Nicollet Park thi afternoon. : The score yesterday was 10 to 8 in favor of Minneapolis and it was a slugfest, the winners collecting 14 blows and the losers 13. The Hoos-' iers muffed a great chance in the seventh when Riddle stroked into a double play with the bases loaded,
| retiring the side.
The rival teams started blasting
‘| at the outset of action and Garland
Braxton, veteran Ilefthander, was pounded out of the Tribe box in the
.| third inning with none out. Jimmy .
Crandall relieved him and was touched for a home run by Thompson. The Millers tallied six runs during the rally.
Grabowski Stops Tribe
In the Tribe half of the third four runs scored as the Indians made it miserable for Walter Tauscher. However, the Miller right=hander stayed and bluffed along until the eighth when the Redskins opened up again and knecked him: out. Reggie Grabowski then went in and stifled the Indians’ rally by striking out Danny Taylor. The Mil lers’ relief hurler retired the Hoos iers in order in [the ninth. The Tribesmen were out in front, 5 to 1, in the first half of the third, but Braxton and Crandall were unable to cope with the Minneapolis attack and at the end of the third stanza the home team was leading 7 to 5. Then a three-run inning in the fifth gave the Bushmen the necessary advantage to stagger through to a close victory. Harry Taylor combed a homer off Crandall in the fifth with one mate on base. Thompson’s| homer in the third also was good for two markers,
