CUBS AND GIANTS
HELPING DODGERS
Cutting Each Others Threats
as Leading BrookIynites
Score Consistently.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

The Brooklyn Dodgers are out In front
OF the National League pack by only
three and one-half games, but the cut
throat actions Of the Giants and Cubs
make that advantage look mountains
GUS at this stage Of the pennant race.
With the Dodgers bowling over their
rivals consistently, the Giants and Cubs
have come to the aid of the league
leaders during the past three days in
their battle for runner-up honors.
Three days ago the Robins were three
and one-half games out in front To-
day that still hold that lead, although
the Cubs have gained one full game on
the Giants by taking two Of their first
three contests. They meet again today.
Grimm's Homer Tells.
Charlie Grimm, the league cham
pions' field captain, proved the big gun
in the Cubs second victory yesterday
His home run with the bases full In the
ninth gave Chicago an 0-to-5 decision
over New York. All of the Giants runs
were made on home runs by Terry,
jackson, Allen, Leach and Hogan, the
first four hitting their circuit drives In
the first three innings and Hogan add
ing his more or less as an aftermath in
the ninth.
The Pirates and Phillies staged a
game, the latter winning a Suggest, 18
to II. At one time in the game that re-
sembled track meet the Phillies held
q 12-to-2 lead, but the Pirates scored IL
runs in the last three innings. Chuck
Klein hit in his twenty-fifth consecutive
game and took the National League
home-run leadership with his nine
tenth circuit drive.
The Cincinnati Reds had little mercy
on Burleigh Grimes and Bruce Cum
ningham, pounding out an 11-to-1 de-
cision over the Braves.
Ray Phelps turned in a neat pitching
assignment to enable the Robins to de-
feat the Cardinals, S to 8. The lanky
Robin hurler held the Cards scorelesS
for eight innings, but injured his throw
ing hand in the ninth, and st. Louis
took advantage to score all of its runs.
Athletics Hold Lead.
BY q margin of 8 points the Athletics
chung to their American League leader
ship, as they lost to the Tigers, to 8.
The champions percentage column
reads 607, as against the Indians .604.
The AS got away to an early lead, but
Elon Hogsett pitched fine relief ball,
while Dale Alexander and Roy johnson
drove in seven runs. johnson hit two
home runs, while Alexander got one
with two men on base in the fifth.
Ted Lyons again failed TO win his
tenth game of the season when the
Boston Red Sox made 1t two straight
over the White Sox. winning, to 3.
Two wild pitches, one caused by RAIN
covered ball, in the seventh led 70
Lyons sixth defeat of the season. Jack
Russell was the winning pitcher.
The Indians and New York Yankees
were rained out ct Cleveland.

DEAL

Grimes for Farmhouse and
SherdeI Is elimination
of Much Dickering.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, June 1.-Two big
base ball trades have been
swung as frantic club owners
and managers seek to
strengthen their line-ups for the
Crucial engagements just ahead.
In the National League, Burleigh
Grimes, veteran spitball ace, has been
traded by the Boston Braves to the st.
Louis Cardinals for Wee Willie"
Sherdel and Fred Farmhouse in q
deal involving nothing but pitchers.
White Sox have exchanged Art Shires,
once pugnacious first haseman, for
Garland Braxton, pitcher, aand Benny
Tate, catcher, Of the Washington Sena-
tors.
The Braves Cardinals deal came as
no surprise to base ball men who have
known that the clubs have been trying
to get together on the trade for some
time. Grimes, one of the highest
Salaried pitchers in the league, came to
the Braves from Pittsburgh this Spring
In exchange for Percy Lee Jones. south
paw, and an unnamed amount Of cash.
The Lord of Burleigh," q hold out at
Pittsburgh, has failed to round into
winning form for the Braves. He has
dropped five games and won three and
only yesterday was pounded out Of the
box by the Cincinnati Reds.
Emil Fuchs, owner of the Braves,
hopes to bolster his pitching staff with
the addition Of Sherdel and Frank
house. The former, chiefly slow-ball
pitcher. has been considered one Of the
steadiest Of the Cardinals pitchers and
Farmhouse has been used chiefly in
relief roles
ment in the base ball situation yester-
day was the decision by the National
League to take NJ, action on the lively
ball. Figures were presented to show
that the fans enjoy the barrage Of base
hits and the club magnates decided to
let well enough alone.

That's the stuff Luque is 80, or will
be in August; Lopez is 81. Both are
right-handers, both are winners and
both are of Spanish descent, but
there the resemblance ceases, unless
you compare their throwing arms,
for the young catcher has q peg
down to second almost as good as
Luque's peg to the catcher.
Luque was obtained in O trade
with Cincinnati, Lopez from jack
Sonville in 1927, and came via At
lanta, where he played last season.
Lopez has q fine future in base ball,
and is already looked upon as the
find of the season. He is alert, re-
sourceful and can bat as well as
catch. He hadn't been playing q
month before he was rated above
the veterans Deberry and Picinich.
Al Is supposed to be q second Mickey
Cochrane in everything but speed
afoot. Lopez lives in Tampa, Fla,
and Luque in Havana, Cuba.

NIGHT PLAY BARRED
BY ST. PAUL OWNER
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, MINI, June Knight
base ball will not be played by st. Paul
Of the American Association.
This statement was made here today
by Robert j. Connery, owner of the To-
cal club on his return from the East,
where he witnessed night games at In
dianapolis.
Night base ball will accomplish
nothing, but will ruin a great game"
said Connery. II take this view of
the situation after seeing games played
at night under the most favorable con-
ditions. There is something lacking.
Proponents of the night contests will
find that 1t is dif1cult to change the
habits of the base ball public over night.
The greatest number of objections are
from the players. They find it difii-
cult to adjust themselves to the new
conditions.
