NEW YORK HOMERS
REDUCE CUBS LEAD
Carl Ends 4-Game Losing
Streak-Yankees, Tigers
Suffer SetbaCks.
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TT SERVED as a bit of encourage
ment to Manager Bill Terry to-
day that Oarl Hubbell is back on
4 the winning track, recovered from
e}1e mysterious winning malady
Slat set in the day the Dodgers
broke his two-season winning streak
- "a straight.
But the manner in which his Giants
went about providing for Hubs ninth
victory of the season, his 8-4 con-
quest of the Chicago Cubs yester-
day, was equally heartening to the
man whose club is locked in a bitter
three-Way struggle for mastery of the
National League.
How the Giants managed to pace
the circuit for nine days was some
what of puzzle. Their pitching was
far from extraordinary, and they
hardly could have been compared to
the Yankees in power at the plate
Even the addition of Wally Berger
to the lineup after they had slipped
out of first place didn't bring imme-
oiate results. So yesterdays per-
formance, in which the Terrymen
landed on ,Dur of the Cubs best
pltchers, was gratifying to Terry and
warning to the Cubs. out front by
one game. and the Cardinals, tied for
second with the Giants in the won
and lost column.
Giants in Home Run Mood.
; RERGER, before giving way to
George Davis when the Cubs
switched from southpaw to right
banded pitching, poled his first Giant
homer and sixth of the year. Sam
Leslie drove in three runs with a
nome run and single, and Mel OFT,
whose batting slump has applied to
everything but rbaggerS, wal
ioped his twelfth as every man but
Dick Bartell, Lou Chiozza and Davis,
who was up only once, hit safely.
Hub had siX-run lead after three
innings.
: Even Hubbell raped for u hits
eut scored on in only one inning. the
eighth, when five straight hits pro-
duced all four Chicago runs. chimed
IN with two singles to aid his own
cauSe and end four-game losing
streak, While pitching complete game

While the Giants were disposing of
khe league leaders the Cards and Dizzv
Dean kept pace by turning back the
Dodgers, 80. Two unearned runs cost
Brooklyn the game after Van Mungo

vas forced to withdraw because of a
blister on the index finger of his sal

usual, infinite patience as we'll as risk.
Hanging over the edge of a precipice
Captain Knight obtained a rare and
invaluable set of moving photographs.
They exist today as a series of films
showing the growth of an eaglet from
the moment it cracked its shell, through
the first helpless weeks while it did
nothing but sit and devour the meat
brought by air and dropped into its
mouth, the days when it became
strong enough to stand up in the nest
and exercise the pinions that were
presently to take it aloft in beautiful
flight, and down to the big moment
when it first ventured to try its young
wings and fly the first few yards away
from the eyrie and back again.
Now Knight not only has that ex-
elusive pictorial record; he also has the

spite his ferocious reputation, he has
responded to his owners patient and
skillful training as effectively and COM
pletely as any canary. James is with
him on his present tour.
This most startling experience also
came to him in Africa:
Captain Knight with a friend, c. T.
AstleyMaberly. was seated in blind,
filming various animals that came to
drink at swamp by pool. Presently,
when Maberly had gone asleep, Knight
heard a distant moaning. 1t puzzled
him. The animals, who had been
drinking quietly, turned and dashed
away panic-stricken. Presently it came
again - this deep-throated moo. At
that instant Maberly happened to
wake up and exclaimed: whats
that?"
They listened; the noise came lit
tie closer. And a second later a lioness
cracked through the underbush, went
down to the river bed and walked past
the blind like a huge yellow cat.
Captain Knight tried in vain to point
a movie camera down at her. Even
tually he adjusted it where he thought
he might be able to get good shot,
and filmed the lioness as she walked
into the picture. He shouted. She
turned and looked back wonderingly.
Maberly said: Don't be fool.'
But Knight had come 1000 miles to
get photographs, and that was an un-
usual opportunity. Perhaps it was just
