Verne Ole sen hit a homer with two on and coasted to victory. The only run off the Cubs’ southpaw resulted from Danny Litwhiler’s eighth inning homer. Yesterday's hero—Kemp Wicker, Dodgers’ southpaw who rescued the faltering Luke Hamlin and held the Cards to five hits in eight and one-third innings to pitch Brooklyn, to the National League lead with a 5-4 triumph over St. Louis.

The Cleveland Indians were cooled off again by the New York Yankees, 5-4. It was the Tribe's third straight loss and reduced their lead over the Yanks to two and one-Half games. Red Ruffing was the winning pitcher, but it was his hitting that turned the tide. He hit a homer with a mate on, a double and a single, driving in three runs. Grandma Murphy pitched the last three and one-third innings, yielding only two hits. He was in a bad jam in the eight with the bases
30B FELLER is shooting for 30 victories this year and he’s already bagged one-sixth of his goal, with five wins racked up in his last five starts. . . . It's a large order and a tough grind, but the young man has everything it takes to stand up over the long route. Headed toward his 23d birthday in November, young Robert has several things in his favor to achieve the 30 games. . . . His curve has improved and is now a real baffier, he always possessed speed, and he is more matured in baseball finesse. Bobby joined Cleveland at the age of 18 when he was strictly a fireballer, but experience under fire, coaching and his own determination to get ahead, all have contributed to his high rating in the majors. The modern record for games won in a single season by a pitcher was posted in 1904 by Jack Chesbro of the old New York Americans. Jack is in the books with the record of 41... . The hurlers in the

Greenberg and Sullivan, Super-Salesmen
FROM THE Detroit Free Press: “While he was with the Tigers, Hank Greenberg was generally regarded as the best businessman on the team. Big Henry was supposed to be a crack salesman when the product he was offering for sale was Henry B. Greenberg. He sold himself to the Tigers for $3000 when he was just a lad out of high school Although Greenberg is close to the top when it comes to selling himself, the deal he made when he first joined Detroit was not the best one a member of the present Tiger team ever made. “The big deal was made by Billy Sullivan, He sold himself to the White Sox for $10,000 upon his graduation from Notre Dame. Billy was a first baseman when he signed with the White Sox, but later shifted to third and the outfield. He didn’t make good as a catcher until he came to the Tigers.”

It’s true that Whirly is unpredictable on his record, but with Eddie Arcaro handling the reins on this 3-year-old bundle of speed, it’s a safe guess the colt will run at his best, like in the Kentucky Derby, where he made good horses look sour. It will be the 51st running of the Preakness and calls for the colts to gallop a mile and three-sixteenths. . . .

Cities area is getting under the skin of the Indianapolis Indians. They came up here to play baseball to conclude a swing around the western half of the American Association but so far the Tribesters have accomplished nothing except learn how tough it is to wait out an unwanted vacation. The Hoosiers haven't played a game since last Sunday when they were submerged in both ends of a double-header by the Brewers at Milwaukee and Manager Wade Killefer is worried lest his athletes lose their physical edge. But Wade is doing the best he can to prevent the boys from going stale. He had ‘em out for a workout Wednesday and again yesterday and he believes they are set to return to a winning stride. The Redskins have won exactly one game in their last eight starts (oh, yeah, they tied one) and they realize they'll be in the cellar unless they get going at once. It’s Starr's Turn Again
With two games of the Miller series postponed, by cold weather, high winds and in general a return of winter breezes, the teams hoped to salvage one contest by playing today. Ray Starr was slated to gun for his fifth victory for the Tribesters and Elon (Chief) Hogsett was “due” for the home team. Tribe Chief Killefer reported his hospital list was clear of patients. Wayne Blackburn, center fielder who was injured during the series at Kansas City, is ready to return to action, and Wayne Ambler's lame knee has responded to treatment. Chuck Aleno says his sore elbow feels much better and if it is it will be a great relief to Killefer. With Birmingham last season Aleno had no arm troubles but he turned up with a bad elbow early this season after showing the best “third base arm” in the league. Trainer Al Ritter has worked on Chuck's salary wing before and after games or practices and thinks he is getting results.

Rene Dreyfus, a member of last year’s French team, is working in New York and reportedly would accept a chauffering job.
