Giants Break Thousands of Dodger Hearts

That’s Only One Episode In a Big Day

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May 31.—After one of the biggest and most exciting days in baseball history, fandom today had plenty of fuel for postmortems, second guesses and red hot discussions. A total of 237,828 persons packed

their way into seven ball parks: But. for the fact that the Cards-

Vittmen played in the rain at Cleveland, it “might have been a record-breaker for attendance. The Red Sox-Yanks played to 82,437 at Yankee Stadium, . third largest throng ever to attend a ball game.

Here’s the Highlights

- High spots of a hysterical day were: . 1. Carl Hubbell's one-hitter against Brooklyn which came near being a perfect game.

‘the Red Sox, which was a no-hitter until Joe Crdnin singled in the eighth. -3. The Giants’ slam-bang eightrun rally in the 12th inning of the nightcap to sweep a double-header| from the Dodgers. 4. Cincinnati's furious rallies which won a. 12-inning’ second game from the Cubs for a clean sweep and first place as a reward. 5. Rookie Herb Hash’s six-hit pitching in his first complete major league game which broke the Yanks’ six- -game winning streak. 6.°Cleveland’s double victory from

: the White Sox in a twin southpaw

duel which moved the Vittmen within one game of the top.

Dodger Fans Jam Park

In every park there were thrills and tense action but Brooklyn prob ably staged the wildest scene of the day. ‘More than 34548 fans jammed their way into Ebbets Field with another - 50,0600 turned away. It was necessary to turn-in a riot call to control the crowd outside | the park. And last night there was a broken Dodger fans’ heart for every light on the boardwalk at Coney Island. Bill Terry’s hated Giants slapped the Dodgers down twice, 7-0 and 12-5. It was a bitter pill to take and combined with the Reds’ double victory tumbled the Dodgers in second place. Hubbell gave the Dodgers only one hit—a single by Hudson in the third. He was quickly erased when Mancuso hit into a double play. He was the only man to reach first. Hub faced the minimum, only 27 men. In the nightcap the Dodgers struggled ‘from behind to. tie the score, 3-3, knotted it again in the 10th, 4-4, and then collapsed in the 12th when the Giants slammed over eight runs.

Reds Win Twice

With Paul Derringer toying with the Cubs in the opener, the Reds: grabbed both games from .Chicago, ba 2 and 9-8. Harry Craft's double and triple drove in three runs as

but said that if he were gyeakened by “getting under 175, we'd rather lose the $2500 than the fight.” The reason Lesnevich lost to! Conn in an earlier New York scrap, | according to Gus’ trainer, Dia Dollings, was that he had been advised before the bout to cut down on his daily work with the result that he tired jn the final rounds and lost out. ~ In his Detroit training quar-

Herb Hash held the Yanks to six hits, one of them a Joe DiMaggio homer with one on. Lefties Al Smith and Al Milnar combined to pitch the. Vittmen to a pair of 3-1 victories over the White Sox. In the opener Al Smith allowed only six hits, besting Lefty Ed Smith of the White Sox. In the nightcap Milnar twirled a fivehitter, outdueling Southpaw Thornton Lee for his sixth victory. Detroit copped two from the Browns, 2-1 and 15-6. Rudy York’s ninth inning double won the opener enabling Tommy Bridges to triumph over John Niggeling. Barney McCosky, with “5 for 5,” and Hank Greenberg, with “3 for 3,” had perfect days at bat in the nightcap. The Athletics rallied to beat the Senators, 7-6, but lost the second game, which was called at the end of the seventh because of darkness, 14-2. Zeke Bonura hit 3 homer with the bases loaded in the nightcap.

Collegiates Start kb C. 4-A Assault

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,, May 31 (U. P.).—The University of California ruled a slender choice to win team honors as more than 400 athletes representing some 30 colleges start competition in the 64th I. C. 4-A track and field championships at Harvard Stadium today. Six meet records were expected. to be broken in the two-day meet. A new team champion will | be crowned as Southern California, 1939 winner at Randalls Island, New York, and seven-time titlist in the past decade, will not defend. "California's Golden Bears should score from 25 to 35 points to clinch the title. Penn State, Pittsburgh and Yale, all were conceded a chance of ending the far-Western domination.

Millers Ready For Top?

By UNITED PRESS Fighting in the first game and coasting in the second, the Minneapolis Millers downed St. Paul in a double-header yesterday and advanced themselves to within two games of Kansas City’s lead in the American Association. The Millers, four games behind the Blues a few days ago, defeated St. Paul, 13 to 10, in the morning game, then romped on the Saints, 10 to 1, in the afternoon meeting. In another Memorial Day doubleheader, Kansas City downed Mil(waukee, 8 to 1, and then lost 6 to 3. |The Columbus-Toledo scheduled |double-header ended in a downpour in the eighth inning of the first game with the score 5 to 5. The Millers were six runs oehind in the eighth inning of their first game when they staged an eightrun rally for the victory. Seven home runs were pounded out in that game, four going to the Millers, tiiree to St. Paul. In the second game, Karry Kelley went the route for Minneapolis and never was in danger. - . The Blues scored six runs in the first game with Milwaukee and had a shutout until the ninth when the Brewers scored their lone run. In the second game, it was the other way around — Milwaukee scored three runs-in the ‘fifth and three in the ninth. At that the hitting was one blow on Kansas City’s side —12 hits for the Blues, 11 for Milwaukee.

Craws Play Here Again Sunday

The Indianapolis Crawfords clash with’ another American Negro League opponent in a Perry Stadium double-header at 1:30 p. m. Sunday when the St. Louis Stars come here. St. Louis, managed by George Mitchell, won the second half loop title last season and is favored to finish well up in the race again this year. The Stars are much like the Craws in that most of the players are young. The Crawfords turned back Chicago American Giants last Sunday.
