a2 JUKE HAMLIN is another

twirler who had to return to

the minors to become a winner. . . . He used to toil for the Detroit Tigers and later was sent down to Milwaukee. . . . Luke accepted the demotion in stride, worked hard for the Brewers and helped them annex the American Association pennant in 1936. Brooklyn brought him back to the big top and this year finds the righthander rated as one of the best in the National League. . . . On his good days he beats the strong clubs just as easily as the second division teams

and his earned-run average is sure to establish him as one of baseball's leading

come-backs.

It is said Detroit and Milwaukee were caught napping in the fall of 1936 and the Dodgers slipped up and drafted Hamlin . . . The Tigers optioned him to the Brewers but forgot to include his name on their reserve list. There was.a big row about it, but baseball law prevailed and Detroit lost a valuable hurler through an oversight, either in ifs own office or by the Brewers.

At any rate, Brooklyn got wise to the situation ana landed a prize merely for the draft price.

The St. Louis Cardinals got a taste of Hamlin’s come-back pitching yesterday and it was a bitter blow, inasmuch as it cost them a full

game in the pennant flight. 2 8

Today the Reds had recovered their equilibrium, and the Cardinals had come up with a bad case of jitters. By beating the Phillies, 7-0, the Reds regained their confidence and increased their lead to 4% games. The Cards were knocked off, 7-1, by the hustling Dodgers, who are fighting to finish ahead of the Giants, and now have to look to the rear to be careful the up and coming Cubs don’t overtake them.

Limits Phils to Seven Hits

The Cubs nosed out the Giants, 4-3, and are only 41, games astern the Cardinals. If the Cards think they can overtake the Reds, the Cubs have a right to think they can hoist themselves into second place. John Niggeling, the veteran rookie from Indianapolis, let the Phils down with seven hits. Frank MecCormick and Bill Hershberger, with three hits each, led the Cincinnati attack, each driving in two runs, The Cards looked like a tired ball club as they jumped through hoops for Luke Hamlin, who won his 15th game—first Brooklyn pitcher to win that number in three years. The Dodgers moved into fourth place, half a game ahead of the Giants, who dropped to fifth. Two Miscues Hurt

The Cards made two errors, Jimmy Brown and Don Padgett dropping pop flies. Dolf Camilli hit homer No, 20 with a mate on. Stainback and Parks made three hits each in the Dodgers’ 14-hit attack on Sunkel and Warneke. Larry French, who knew what he was talking about when he told P. K. Wrigley that Gabby Hartnett wouldn’t . give him enough work, pitched the Cubs to a seven-hit victory over the Giants. French drove in two runs himself. Hank Lieber’s double in the eighth drove in the winning tally.
