By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 16.—Climaxing a climb that started in the cellar, the Chicago Cubs held the undisputed leadership of the National League today. The Cubs got off to a bad start. But on May 27 they had won 16 and lost 16 for a .500 average. The next day they started one of their notorious streaks, winning eight in a row. They swept through the East, winning eight out of 11. Of their last 18 games, they've won 15, the fastest pace any major league club has set. : The Cubs are the third team to lead the National League this season. Pittsburgh got off flying and held the lead until the Giants dislodged them June 6. The Giants held sway until yesterday. Prying the Cubs loose from the lead isn’t going to be a simple task. The Cubs —a, great team—will be playing at Wrigley Field until June 29 and they have won 12 cut of 19 at home this season. \ The last averages show the Cubs leading the league in hitting with 281 and in fielding with .976. They have scored more runs, made more hits and driven in more. runs than any other club. They're third in stolen bases, doubles and triples and double plays. These figures mark the Cubs as a team of class.

Defeated Bees 5-4

The Cubs bounded into the lead by defeating the Boston Bees, 5-4. The Bees knocked their old jinx, Tex Carleton, out of the box in the fourth inning and wiped out a 3-0 deficit with a four-run rally, but Clay Bryant came to the rescue and baffled the Bostonians. He allowed only one hit in five innings, scoring his fifth straight victory. He has pitched 19 consecutive innings, and has retired 57 out of the last 62 batters who faced him. Galan’s double and singles by Collins, Demaree ;and Hack brought the Cubs from behind to victory. Carl Hubbell failed to finish his fifth consecutive game as Pittsburgh triumphed over New York, 7-5, knocking the Giants out of first place. Gus Suhr hit a homer with Three singles

two on in the first.

in a row after two were out in the second inning drove Hubbell to cover. Red Lucas went the route, giving up 10 hits and pitching the Pirates to their second victory over the Giants in eight games. The Cardinals scored their seventh straight victory over the Phillies, 13-4, when Mike Ryba, handyman, won his first start. -Medwick and Mize led the St. Louis attack with three hits each. Cincinnati staved off a ninth-innhing rally by Brooklyn to beat the Dodgers, 4-3. Johnny - Vander Meer held the Dodgers to one run and two hits until he weakened and Al Hollingsworth came to’ his rescue. Waite Hoyt, veteran reclaimed by the Dodgers recently, pitched his first game for them and allowed only nine hits. | Red Ruffing won his sixth victory and pitched his second straight shutout as the New York Yankees won from Cleveland, 3-0. He held the Indians to four hits. Mel Harder blanked the: Yanks until the sixth when doubles by Dickey and Selkirk broke the tie. | After blowing an 8-1 lead in the ninth, Detroit went 15 innings before beating Washington,- 9-8.
