GIANTS GA|NLEAD
MA|NLYBY' FIGHT
Pace.Makers Only $3.50 at
Plate, on HiIl-Chisox
Whiriing Along.
BY SID FEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TIMER pitching is In = sorry
state. their hitting Is nothing
to write home about-but still
L those Giants are leading the
National League today.
Some say they're lucky; others con-
tend its Bill Terry's strategy Of run
making when it counts and the newly
found fight the Giants have un-
covered. Whichever it is, the Terry
terriers are doing all right in the one
department they pay of on-the wou-
and-lost column.
To large extent. the Giants sud
den rise to the loop lead, which they
took with . 9-5 victory over Pitts
burgh yesterday, may not be due so
much to themselves alone As to the
kindly Though unwilhng) help sup
piled at the right moment by the
Pirates and Cardinals.
Helped by Bucs' Slump.
THEY'VE won five OF their last
nine games, which is hardly SEN
sational As 3 team they're batting
nth in the league. just over .26O.
Only two Of the pitchers show a bet
ter than 500 average, Carl Hubbell
and Slick Casteman. And Hubbell
has been belted out in his last two
starts.
But when you figure that the Pirates
have blown higher than the strato-
sphere, and have obligingly dropped
8 OF their last IS starts, the final 4
in succession, and that the Cardi-
mails are barely getting by on woe
full pitching stat1, the thing begins to
make sense
However, the success of the Giants
IS shaky at best, largely because OF
the sudden skyrocketing of the Cubs.
For, while the Giants have been chas-
ing the Pirates, the Cubs have been
right after both of them, and, at the
moment, are only game away from
the Gaints and a slim percentage
margin back Of the Bucs, through
their record Of winning Of their
last 10 games.
They kept right on coming yester-
day by splitting twin bill with the
Bees, winning the nightcap, 7-2. after
losing, IL, in the first game.
White Sox Still Soar.
l0VER in the American League, the
big-time's hottest" OUTFIT, the
White Sox, boosted their winning
streak to eight in a row by betting
over Connie Mack's pathetic Athletics
twice, winning 6-1 behind Ted Lyons
four-hit flrst-game pitching, and 6-5
tn the nightcap
That double conquest left the Sox
only a few percentage points OF sec
ond-place Cleveland, since the In
dians dropped 1o-inning contest to
the Nationals. A scheduled second
game was rained out. The Yankees
leading the loop, also lost ground, I'm
ishing on the short end of 5-4 count
to the Tigers.
The Cardinals took both games
from the Phillies, the opener, To, and
the nightcap, 80, the latter on for
felt in ~ innings. Umpire ziggy
Sears handed the second game to the
Gas House Gang because 1t seemed
the Phils, hopelessly behind, stalled
in the hope the pm. Sunday curfew
would halt the battle before the legal
flve innings.
Alex Kampouris contributed q
homer with the bases loaded as the
Reds walloped the Dodgers, 81. The
Red sox split with the Browns win
ming, 6-5, and losing, 81.

and went on to win the gruelling mile

Pace Fast In Last Is Games.

DERHAPS Owner Clark Griffith had
u moments when he regretted buy
ing AL from Detroit, even at the
ridiculous price Of $500. Then,
during the Griffs' first invasion OF the
West, Simmons began to find his
range, and he has been batterlng the
fences ever since.
Maybe this will give you some idea.
In the last IS games the big outfielder
has batted at . 1854 clip, driving
across 81 runs, scoring II himself,
and including eight doubles, three
triples and three home runs among
the total.
Nor IS he failing of. Quite to the
contrary, Al has increased the tempo
over the last r6 games, hitting at a
.4lO pace and boosting his other
columns proportionately.
Left handlers, right handlers, slow
ballers and fast ballers, Al has taken
all pitchers in stride. The hitting
slumps of Joe Kuhel and Ben Chap
man are not even noticed, so con-
sistently has Simmons batted. And,
thanks to Al, the blame for the Grif1s'
inability to do better must be laid
only to pitching.

trainer, 65-year-old George Conway
was fearful Of infection.

No Flash in the Pan.

WITH mighty double against the
wv left-feld barrier in Clevelands
huge Municipal Stadium he drove
across Johnny Stone to give Monte
Weaver 4 10 lead in the second in
ming. In the sixth he tripled and later
scored to boost Weaver's lead to AZ.
And after Monte lost So lead in the
ninth and the game went overtime it
was Simmons with a second double,
who launched the tenth-inning attack
that produced three runs and enabled
the Mats eventually to win by to Z.
He WAS even more spectacular in the
brief second game. With the bases
loaded in the first inning, AL rifled \
terrific home run of Ivy Paul An
,drews to give sgd Cohen a 40 lead.
In the third he also singled, but the
cruel hand OF fate will not permit
these hits to go into the record books.
Rain fell in the Cleveland third,
while the Mats held the 40 lead, and
when the skies finally cleared the
field was too wet to permit further
play.
No fash in the pan was. this dis
play, for Al has been banging the ball
constantly for the last month. During
the FIRST three weeks Of the season he
couldn't buy a base hit. His average
hovered around 100, and even dropped

Of last years schedule.
Called by critics risky investment
only month ago, Simmons is hell

This became increasingly evident
today, in the wake of smashing
triumph for Simmons over the Indians
by an 8-to-7 score AL also won" the

this affair lacked little more than an

THE SIMON LUBIN SOCIETY
is At IT AGAIN

Imperial Valley, remembering with
widely publicized report participated in
by Simon Lubin, dealing with strike con-
ditions here several years ago, reads
with interest the vitriolic statement of
the Simon Lubin Society against peace
officers in the Stockton area.
The officers were severely criticized
for fighting with strikers who opposed
opening of packing plant here
The society, evidently, is one which
believes no harm can come from labor
unions; that peace officers should not
prevent destruction of private property;
and that any battle which results from
labor union agitation or disagreement
is a matter which should be strictly
avoided by all peace officers.
Or, if the peace officers must take
hand, the society would have them do
so purely in vocal capacity. If they
are attacked, one implies, they should
turn the other cheek.
It would be all right, if only the strik-
ers would do the same.
