CUBS

Beat Bees, Keep at Heels
of Leading Cards-Tribe
Drops to Fourth.
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer

w YHEN batting might hooks up
"a with pitching strength on
wv the same base ball combi-
nation, fireworks are the
general result.
That's the answer to the current
pell-mell parade of those climbing
Chicago Cubs, now riding high, wide
and handsome on top of an 11-game
winning streak, longest run in the
big leagues this season.
1t wasn't only that they suddenly
came to life at the plate, or on the
mound. But when they hit both at
the same time-the resultant explo-
sion Is no more than can be expected.
For two weeks now, day in and
day out, they've had the two, par
ticularly a brand Of pitching that's
hard to beat. In IL straight games,
each member of the twirling troupe
has gone the route; hasn't been
touched for more than nine hits in
any one battle, and has averaged
about seven. At the same time, the
batting brigade has clubbed out a
grand total of 1913 safe blows, aver
aging slightly over IL game. That
tells the story.
The big question mark now Is:
Can they continue, away from Wr1g-
ley Field, as they've done at home?
They start the Eastern SWING tomor-
row, and thereby probably hangs their
hope for catching up with the pace
setting st. Louis Cardinals by July 4.
Demaree's Homers Decide.
THE long successful home stand
= ended yesterday with Frank
Demaree's two homers accounting for
all the runs as the Boston Bees fell
SO and Lon waueke chalked up
his third win of the victory streak,
his second straight seven-hitter in
five days.
The triumph, however. didn't cut
down the st. Louis 3l2-game lead
even a fraction. The gas house gang
hooked up in a wild slugging spree
with the Phillies and came out on
top, 1910, as Dizzy Dean, going to
work with only "a hours rest, went in
as a relief pitcher to end the game.
The two leaders pulled away from
the third-place Pirates. as the New
York Giants snapped their own five
game losing streak and the Buc's
seven-straight winning one at the
same time, with Hal Schumacher
turning in a f1ve-hit performance for
an 80 edge. Winding up the league
program, the Cincinnati Reds climbed

But besides Jake, what? To this
department the Yanks took a gamble,
and, to lesser degree, so did Griffith.
All base ball trades, of course, are
CANDLES, but to the Powell-for- Chap
man swap there is tinge of the un-
usual.
The Yanks, with Chapman hitting
only 1855, have managed to build up
a three game lead over their nearest
contenders, Boston. All season the
McCarthymen have gone like houses
afire. Now, still in full stride, vital
cog is removed from machine of
