 New York, May 2o-(UP)-Fines and suspensions for the players who engaged in the Giant Cardinal ninth inning riot at Sportsman's park, St. Louis-the stormiest base ball brawl in years-were scheduled for today by Ford Prick, National league president.
 T won't take any action until I receive the complete reports of the umpires who handled the game" said Prick. "They have been air. mailed to me and I except them by noon. I talked to Empires Barr and Stark and Managers FriSch and Ter " on the long distance phone last night and it's hard to find out just exactly what happened because it came so suddenly and so many players were involved"
 Out of the battle, in which al- most every player of both teams was swinging, these facts stood out:
 l. Carl Hubbell won his 22nd straight game and was the cooiets man in the park during the strife. He stayed out of the fighting and tended strictly to his pitching chores.
 2. Dizzy Dean was soundly out- pitched by Hubbell who lost control of himself when a balk was called on him.
 3. Dean obviously was throwing his high, hard one" at the Giants heads. ..,.
 4. The usually docile Giants proved as tough as the gashouse gang, giving punch for punch and carrying a moral victory by out- gaming the Cards.
 The Giants won the ball game, Al, before 22,694 persons. Hubbell breezed on his sixth straight tri- umph this season, and his 22nd since his last defeat July 13, 1886. Hub- bell permitted only six hits, walked none and famed 2. Joe Medwick's homer in the second was the only run scored of him. Dean was nicked for hits, walked 2, hit another and famed only five.
 The battling was the result of a balk decision called by Umpire George Barr on Dean in the fifth when the Cards led, To. Whitehead singled and went to second on 8 sacrifice. Bartell flied to left but Bar ruled that Dean failed to come to come to the necessary stop in his pitching motion after looking at the runner On second. Bartell came back and batted again. This time he lined to Pepper Martin, who dropped the ball, Whitehead scor- ing the tying run.
 Dean tossed his glove in the air when the umpire called the balk. He gave every indication of wanting to quit the game. Then with the score tied 1-1, singles by Chiozza and Joe Moore scored two more runs. The Giants added another in the ninth when the rioting stopped.
 After the fifth inning Dean start- ed throwing at the Giants heads. They were going up and down like duck pins. Finally Ripple bunted down the first base line, but Sec V1lO odoCAkAd44 O4OWAA 4ACAAV0 eAAS ball, Mize covering first. Dean got In the play anyway, and barely missed head-on collision with Ripple. In second Dean and Ripple were swinging.
 The players of both teams raced to the scene and soon at least half a dozen fights were in progress. Chiozza swung at Dean, but players say his left hook clipped Don Gut teridge. Gus Mancuso and Mickey Owen started private battle. When quiet was restored Mancuso and owen were banished. Police helped the umpirse break up the battle, and escorted the Giants of the field after the game.
 In the other National league games the Chicago Cubs won from Brooklyn, 3-1, the Phillies stopped the fast-stepping Pirates, 5-4, and the Boston Bees won night game from Cincinnati, 3-1.
