Chance OF
5 Wins
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK, May 10 Q.N.SO.
Burleigh Grimes prediction that
the new dead" ball would make
this a pitchers year seems to be
coming true. But of course the
Dodger pilot wasn't thinking Of
the Phillies or Browns when he
made his forecast.
Dizzy Dean allowed as how OIL
Dir might win even IS games this
year the way things are going" just
after he had turned in his fifth
straight victory, ii, at the ex-
pense Of the Dodgers yesterday.
That lone Dodger run was only
the third earned run made Of the
Dizzy One this year and moved
Grimes to remark that if he had
him to go along with Van Mungo.
the Dodgers would surely win the
pennant.
And while Dir was doing his
stuff on one side Of the Brooklyn
Bridge, that other master Of the
hook and screw ball, Carl Hubbell,
was turning in his fourth straight
win at the expense Of the Cubs
on this side of the bridge, 4 to !.
Just for the record that makes 20
straight National League victories
for the lean lefty-16 last season
and four in a row this year.
Pirates Move On
The Pirates moved on serenely
with Dutch Brandt beating his old
buddieS, the Bees, 6 to 3. and the
Reds had a 21-10 field day at the
expense of the poor PhillieS. The
Reds made not fewer than "a hits,
including six for six by Schnozzola
lombard and three homers and q
single by Alex Kampouris, the lone
Greek of the majors.
Turning blithely to the Ameri'
can League, do our eyes deceive US,
or is that really old Connie Mack
and his Athletics, jauntily perched
up there in a tie for the lead with
the Indians.
Six.Run Rally Cops
Sure enough, it is, and by virtue
of a 9-8 victory scored over the
Tigers. And they made it the hard
way by staging a six-run rally to
win.
Willis Hudlin made his seasonal
debut for the Indians and let the
Red Sox down with four hits, win
ming to /, and the Senators, with
DeShong turning in a four-hitter.
trimmed the Browns Z to /, and
incidentally dropped them into the
league basement.
And the White Sox resurrected
Thornton Lee to hold the Slugging
Yanks to four hits, beat them 2
to /, and drop them into fifth
place. That was a tough break
for Chandler Spurgeon in his big
league starting debut for he held
the Sox to five hits and deserved
better fate. 1t was the YankS'
fourth consecutive defeat.
Well, well, the AS on top and
the Yanks fifth. Things are look
ing up and this may be an in
tereSting race after all.

Ellis Honor, Mayor Bernard

"There is no doubt In my

Mr.. Sullivan waxed enthusiastic.

The Cardinals once held COM

players, but it is different now.
Hornsby has stepped in, and the
kids are with him. Attendance at
Browns games has increased; the
public is following the team, and
all that is needed is for one of the
Municipal League players to make
the grade with the Browns.
For a while it was feared that
Buckley Harris was saving Joe Cas-
carella for Ell Mack's Canadian
tour next autumn, but the fears
were groundless. Joe will pitch
today.
The players say the game will be

Hornsby in one respect. He is the
most pathetic of all figures when
he tries to go back on a fly ball.
Even when he was at his height
with the Cardinals and the Giants
he couldn't 10 that little trick.
Jimmy DeShong pitched well
despite the fact that he was wild

who has hit and fielded well;
Second baseman Ray Deuhring,

all of whom have both batted and
