 New York, Sept. S.--(uP) The perennial feud between the St. Louis Cardinals and the New York Giants reaches it's 1036 height today when l the National Leagues two outstand- ing pitcher Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbel- -tangle in Q duel of vital Importance to the red hot race for the pennant.
 Dean -TIubbell struggles usually are classics, but this one may de- eide the 1886 championship.
 Dizzy has two motives for win- ming: First, revenge for the 2-1 de- feat he took from aubbel July 2l, when Dick Bartell's 10th inning homer decided the issue; second, a triumph will put the Cards back in the thick of the pennant chase. The natural rivalry between these two topnotchers makes 1t a box offlce ate traction that should be well attend ed even in St. Louis. That was the only meeting between Dean and Hubbell this year, but in other en- agreements between the two teams Dizzy has defeated the Giants four times, while three of Hubs 20 vic- tories this season were garnered oil the Cards.
 By winning today's tilt Hubbell can send the Giants back to the Polo grounds with a four game lead. The Giants are Q strong home team, and such a margin should enable them to retain the lead even if the Cards sweep all three of their re- rnaining games when they invade New York Sept. 13-14.
 If St. Louis wins, it will be en- tirely different. The Cards will be only two games out of first place, which is comparatively nothing when 1t is considered that there still are 25 games on the schedule after today,s contest. Another angle worth thought is that St. Louis victory would put the Chicago Cubs back in contending position, with another free-for-all in prospect. The Cubs are just four games out of first and still have pair of games left with the Giants.
 The breaks went against the Giants yesterday for the first time in coon's age, and they were tagged, 4 to 3, by the Cards. Bur- gess whitehead, a former Cardinal, suffered a badly cut eye in a col- lision with young Stuart Martin at second base. His substitute, Mark Koenig, erred twice in the seventh inning to pave the way for three St. Louis runs, although Q triple by Joe Medwicvk and singles by Pep per and Stuart Martin played their part in the triumphant run-making, Silas Johnson, who relieved Parme- lee in the seventh, received credit for the win while the lass was chalked up against Al Smith. The injury to Whitehead recalls that 1t was the little Giant second base- man, obtained from St. Louis in deal for Parmelee, whose line drive popped Dizzy Dean on the roggin on July II and kept him from the Card lineup for several days.
 The Cubs took advantage of the Giants loss by blanking the Brook lyn Dodgers, 4 to o, behind Tex Carleton's sevent-hit hurling, in the only other National League game. Philadelphia at Pittsburgh and Boston at Cincinnati were rain- ed out.
 In the American League, the Cleveland Indians shaved the Yam kees' leading margin down trifie- to l6 games-by taking a 4 to 3 de- cision as Johnny Allen turned back his former mates with three hits. Third place Detroit kept pace by whipping the Washington Senators, 3 to ?. Rookie Jake Wade game a three-hit pitching performance. In the other junior circut contest, the St. Louis Browns came out on top; IS to II, in Q slugfest wiht the Phil- adelphia Athletics.
 Chicago at Boston was rained out.
 Yesterdays hero: Earl Averill of the Cleveland Indians whose home run in the 10th inning defeated the Yankees.
