 Sport Spice Of Keen Interest
By FRANK MURPHY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Boston. May 1-(UP)-Along New England sport trails:
 A simple suggestion offered by the man who introduced him to big league baseball is responsible for the return to pitching form of "Dea- conp Danny MacFayden of the Bos- ton Bees.
 Bespectacled Danny made the jump from Somerville, Mass, high school to the Boston Red Sox in 1926 In six seasons through 1881 he won 62 games while losing 67--a first-rate showing with club that was usually in the cellar, On the strength of 1t the New York Yankees bought Danny at fancy price in 1882 But the Deacon went into decline that found him bench-warming with the Ruppert- ties for a couple of years, waived out of the league to the Cincinnati Reds, and eventually, along in the 193S campaign, landing with the then haplesS Braves
 It 50 happened that Bob Quinn, who as proxy of the Red Sox launched Danny on his major league career, inherited the Bees prior to the current campaign Quinn watched his Danny boy in spring training and discovered that he had turned contortionist, magician and shimmy artist in his attempts to perfect freak deliveries Bob urged Danny to return to funda- mcntals-his sweeping right-hand curve, better-than-average slow ball, and fast 'un--and forget the funny business It was Q vote, and the results speak for them selves =.
 Danny lost tough games to the Phillies and Giants in his first two starts this season but in his next two he beat the Phillies to l allowing only six hits and (yester- day) set down the Cincy Reds 3 to 1 permitting only i've bingles

HUB FANS HAPPY
 AS BOTH BOSTON OUTFITS "CLICK"
Red SOx in Midst of Slug ging StreakHaslin to
 Bees for Whitney

Boston, May 1 - (UP) = Every thing was "hunky dorey" with New England baseball fans today as both Boston teams, victorious in their series just ended, prepared to face new opponents with 8 new lease on life.
 The power packed Red sox, after Iambasting Chicago IS to { yester- day, engage third-place Cleveland at Fenway Park. The Bees move on to Pittsburgh, after nipping Cin- cinnati 3 to l.
 Bees fans were doubly tubilant as Q shrewd Yankee trade" added to the joy of victory. The deal brought youthful Mickey Haslin, Philadelphia utility inf1elder, to the Bees in exchange for 30-year-old Pinky Whitney. Going Good
 Haslin will join the Bees at Pitts burgh to start today's game at third base. A hustler at bat and afleld, he is expected to inject needed power into the Bees lineup. In 10 games this season, Haslin has batted for 1885.
 Yesterdays triumphs gave both Boston Cubs Q clean sweep Of theT respective series. The Red Sox in- dulged in a slugging orgy which blasted four Chicago pitchers from the mound with IS hits. Most of the barrage came in the first three innings, as they damned across IA Of their 16 runs.
 The tail-end of the batting order came into its own, with Eric McNair, Skee Melillo and Relief-Hurler Jack wilson regaining their batting eye. This trio, together with Rick Terrell, drove in Il of the Sox runs. Melillo accounted for five, on triple and @ double.
 Wilson to Rescue Although Joe Cascarella was forced to withdraw in the second inning, Rookie Jack Wilson finished out with capable relief pitching. His performance, coming after Jim Henry's fine exhibition Wednesday, indicates Manager Cronin may have to look to his young hurlers if veterans continue to fold up in early innings.
 Dependable Lefty Grove was to start todays game, however, aiming for his fourth straight victory. Grove has made one other appear ance this season, saving Q game for Wes Terrell.
 The Bees triumph was Danny MacFayden's second consecutive victory. He held Cincinnati's al- legged sluggers to five hits, and had shutout within his grasp, had 1t not been for a wild pitch. Mac Fayden is the only Bees hurler to go the full distance this season.
 Wayne Osborne, who was to have pitched yesterdays game for the Bees, was slated to start against Pittsburgh today.

Louisville, Ky, May l-(UP) Throw your cards on the table, boys, and quit yiur quibbling. It's grand slam-THE Grand Slam.
 That's the hide tomorrow, boys Grand Slam, the mud running, dry running, fast running, long running, chestnut-coated son of Chance Play and Jean BoWdre. Put your dough on him now, and grab yourself a first place in the pay-off line. He's money from home-special delivery, air mail, registered, crisp and fresh.
 Quit worrying about Brevity; get your mind off Indian Broom; forget those beetles named Teufel, Gram vile, Merry Pete, and Cold Stream. They're just 0 bunch of hayburners who got in there because there must b c a parade to the post. The only parade that counts Is the one down the stretch, when the marbles are in view, and the dough is on the line. Get on this hide Grand Slam straddle him wi htyour bankroll and let him carry 1t to the bank.
 Don't worry about what the track looks like.

And If it's dry-well, mortgage the little home, mortgage the little bluebirds that sing around the little home mortgage the little wife, in fact, mortgage all the little mortgages and get aboard. Grand Slam likes a dry track like Jim Farley likes votes. In fact there's a report around that Grand Slam after a workout on the Sahara desert as a two-year-old, returned to the barn and, in perfect English, told his sire: :.

RUPERT CLUB N MIDST OF A WINNING STREAK
Red SOx Face Plenty of Troubles From Indians
 and Tigers
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Staff COrrcspOnden)
 New York, May 1 = (UP) - The New York Yankees today stood as sole pretenders to the throne atop the American League, now occupied by the Boston Red Sox.
 Only one-half game out of first place as a result of crushing the Cleveland Indians three straight, the Yankees stand good chance or taking the lead in the next five days. They engage the seventh place White Sox in Q pair of games and the last place St. Louis Browns in three, while the Red Sox have to fight off the Indians and the De- troit Tigers.
 In their current winning streak seven or eight - the Yenkees have pounded out 96 hits for 57 runs while their opponents converted 64 hits into only g runs. New York pitching also is on the upgrade. Gomez, Ruffing and Pearson are at the top of their games.
 Pearson, who came to the Yam kees from the Indians, turned on his former teammates yesterday, limiting them to four hits while the Tanks pounded out on to 1 vic- tory. Four errors, 10 walks and 10 hits were combined for New York'S tallies.
 The Boston Red Sox maintained their half game margin over the Tanks by winning their third straight over the Chicago White Sox, l6 to 4. Chicago executed the second triple play of the major league season in the eighth when McNair lined to Appling with two two men on base. Appling threw to Piet. who stepped on second and threw to Bonura, who completed the play.
 Injuries continued to bedog the Detroit Tigers as they lost 8 to to the Washington Senators. Mickey Cochrane was forced to retire with badly bruised instep in the sev- enth when foul tip hit his ankle. He will be out of the game three or four days.
 Connie Macke Athletics won their third straight from the St. Louis Browns l2 to in free slugging battle.
 The St. Louis Cardinals climbed a notch in the National League moving into third place as they de- feated the New York Giants, 3 to 2.
 AZ to 1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers brought the Chicago Cuns within a half game of the league leading Giants. The defeat dropped the Dodgers into 8 four-way tie With Cincinnati, Philadelphia and PLUS burgh for fourth position. m
 Philadelphia's ninth inning rally fell one run short and Pittsburgh took a 6 to 5 decision.
 The Boston Bees defeated the Cln- cinnati Reds Bel as Danny Mac Fayden, Cincinnati discard Of last season, turned his former mates back with five hits.
 YESTERDAYS HERO - Danny MacFayden, pitcher for the Boston Bees, discarded by the Cincinnati Reds last year, who won his second straight game, Bel, letting his former teammates down with 5 hits.

finish on Saturday. The only thing they'll need will be a calendar to check the date of arrival of the other finsihers. Take 1t from me, from my out-side, cross ventilation room out here on the longest limb in Louisville, that Brevity won't run one.two- three. Indian Broom will run him right smack into Joe Widener's drawing room in the first mile.
 At that point they'll collapse and my horse, my big ol beautiful horse with the big blue eyes, will come boiling round the curve and 90 on to gather in the booty.
 I do not qualify this predication. On 1t I will rise or fall. That seems fair enough, for I haven't got far to fall, and long, long, we yto rise.
 So l give you Grand Siam, the winner of the 62nd renewal of the Kentucky derby.
