FLAG CHANCE SLIM,
BUT CUBS CARRY ON
Overcome Variety of Difficult
ties Beating Giants in
Series Opener.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO'S home loving
I Cubs were credited with a
~ first down today in the
drive toward their goal of
six. straight victories over the
league-leading New York Giants
and a real place in the National
League pennant picture. But
there still were five games to 60
for a touchdown.
The Cubs weathered the difficulties of
rainy day, Carl Hubbells famed
pitching and what power the Giants
bats could muster, to win the opener,
2 to 0, yesterday. 1t started out to be
double but after delays that
totalled more than two hours had kept
a crowd of 10000 hanging around until
6 o'clock to see the finish of one con-
test, the second was postponed, making
a bargain bill today with another to
follow tomorrow.
So far as the Giants were con-
cerned the whole program was q
washOut. Their margin over the
Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates,
who also won a game, was re-
duced to six and half games.
While they still can clinch the pen
nent with only nine more victories in
II games, even If the Cubs and Pirates
should win all they have left, they
would be ahead of Chicago by only
single percentage point in such an
event.
TT took just one inning to give the
Cubs the decision after the game
finally was started and the rest was
just a matter Of the pitching of Guy
Bush and lodging showers. Bill Her
man. Xxi Cuyler and Riggs Stephen
in the first. Then after pass had
loaded the bases Adolph Camilli forced
Frank Demaree at second and Bill
Terry juggled the relay for an at
tempted double play long enough to let
Cuyler score the second tally.
Time was called in the third for
nearly two hours and the contest finally
was finished in the rain. After the long
delay Manager Terry removed Hubbell
and let Bill Shores finish the duel with
the highly effective Bush, who gave
nine hits and three walks. but was
invincible when he struck tight spot.
Pittsburgh did its share toDnrd

Boston BrdUes, I to 0, behind the

4 S they battle in their final
~ series of the season with
4 \ the Nationals, the Tigers
will have to swing against
some of the finest left-handed
pitching there is in the American
League.
Manager Joe Cronin has an
nounced he will fire at the Harris
horde some time in the four
game set Earl Whitehill, who, up
to last year, wore the visitors
uniform, and Walter Stewart, a
pair of pitchers that has been
particularly troublesome to the
Detroit club.
Whitehill has scored three victories
over his former outfit in this campaign.
Stewart has two-to-one record against
the Tigers. And both southpaws now
are in fine fettle.
For the right-hand f1inging in the
series that was to get under way in
Griffith Stadium this afternoon, weather
permitting, Cronin was to turn to AL
CroWder and the elderly Alec McColl,
unless Alec has to do a spell of relief
work. In that event, Monte Weaver
would get a shot at the aggregation
from the Automobile City.
Although the Nationals have
leading margin of eight and one
half games in the American
League race, with only IA games
to go to finish, Cronin will have
the regular lineup in there bat

The super-heated ma

third and less spectacular phase
today with a certainty that MOTH
ing approaching the stunning
surprises of the opening rounds
of match play could happen un-
less Ross Somerville, the cham
pion who proved his worth so
soundly yesterday, has completely
lost the ice which fills his veins.
Somerville has two extra hole
matches behind him, in both of which
the decision hung on a split hair as
first the aging Chick Evans, champion
Of 1916 and 1920, and then the free
swinging Ernie Caldwell of the Hillen-
dale Club of Baltimore took the canny
Canuck to extra holes.
The sudden death 18-hole matches,
which have beaten many champions
In the past, are over.
Starting today the eight sur
vivors play all the matches over
the 36-hole route, where no man
can argue that a lucky break won
or lost the golf match.
Somerville is in there only because
his iron nerve held him to the true
line to the bottom of the tin, and kept
him in complete control of his game
when it looked as if first Evans and
then Caldwell was to topple the crown
from the frozen-faced Canadian. He
had no set-up as he met the long
hitting Lawson Little of San Francisco
today but he should beat Col Titles
son with not too much trouble.
