CHEER HUBBELL

} The Giants earned some belated
revenge in the nightcs~ when thew
eaked out a win in the tenth, 5
to 4.
The Pills threw a double har.
pooh into the surprised Bees, 6-3
and 90, and the tail-end Reds
frightened the race by splitting a
pair with the Pirates, winning SO
and losing rs.
With Lee and Bryant outpitch-
ing Warneke and Dizzy Dean, the
oncoming Cubs twice slapped down
the Cards, AZ and SO, the Cards
making only six hits in each game.
Indians Win
The Indians picked up q game
on the pace-setting Yanks in the
American League by topping the
Tigers, II and 6-5 in IL heats,
while the Yanks were dividing a
pair with the Red Sox, the New
Workers winning the first, 4-3, on
late rallies and roping the night
cap, 80. Old Rube Walberg cooled
off the Yanks after Grove and
Marcum had failed.
The AS continued their down
ward plunge through the stand
ings by dropping two to the Sen
ators, SO and 81, and the White
Sox crawled up among the elite
by knocking over the luckleSS
Browns, 90 and So.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The law
of averages and the Dodgers
finally caught UP with Carl Hub
bell and today the winning streak
of the Giants great left-hander is
only a line in the record books.
At that, his record Of "a straight
-16 last year and eight this
probably will last for many a year.
It was inevitable that the wiry
southpaw should lose sometime,
and it required only one inning for
the rampant Dodgers to prove yes
terday was not Hubs day. In the
parlance Of the diamond, Hub had
only a glove and a prayer, and
they were not enough.
Cheers Pitcher
Seven hits in 3 1-3 innings, three
passes, a hit batter, a wild pitch
and five runs tell the story of
Hubs downfall. Even the Dodger

whose chief solace for living on

mendouS ovation as he walked off
the field with bowed head.
It was a wonderful tribute from
a record crowd of 61,756 to one Of
the finest sportsmen baseball has
ever seen. That tribute meant
more to Hub than the. watch pre-
sented to him by Babe Ruth for
being the most valuable player in
the league last year.
After the game Hub said:
"Well, it had to end some
time, and I'm glad it's over.
That winning streak was begin
ming to get on my nerves."
To Fred Farmhouse goes credit
for the Dodgers 1913 victory. al
though the Dodger with the
roundhouse curve had to have
some help himself from Van
Mungo.

Cleveland Gives
Teller Vacation

CLEVELAND, June bob Eel
Ter, the Indians fireball sensation,
was travelling to parts unknown
today for a complete rest-away
from baseball and baseball talk.
c. c. Slapnicka, Indian vice
president and general manager,
said Felfer's arm had been bother
ing him in spite of treatment, and
that it was advisable to send the
18-year-old pitcher away, where
he would not be under the strain
of workouts and numerous ques-
tions as to the health Of the salary
wing.
Teller probably will not pitch
for 80 days, and he will not appear
with the team for at least two
weeks. He probably will spend
part Of his vacation" at home in
Van Meter, Iowa.

As Shaw Wins
Motor Grind

INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.-Wil-
bur Shaw, 34-year-old local driver,
was perched on top Of the automo-
bile racing world today, richer by
approximately $4,000 and con
siderable fame as a result of his
record breaking triumph in the
annual 500-mile Memorial Day
race.
Shaw'S victory carried $4,000 in
first prize money, some $500 Lap
prizes and the remainder of the
cash came from the many acces
sorry prizes that go to the winner
Of the classic of the Speedways.
The young Indianapolis drivers
victory was well-deServed, for he
had to lead the pack in the closest
and fastest race in the history
of the event.
SmasheS Record
He maintained an average speed
Of 1850 miles an hour for the
500 miles, smashing the previous
mark Of 109.068 set by Lou Meyer
last year by ASH miles an hour
Shaw covered the distance in
4 hours, "a minutes and 7.81 sec
onds.
So fast was the pace that the
next three drivers to finish also
shattered the old mark. Ralph
Hepburn, of Los Angeles, who was
close second, averaged 1856
while Ted Horn, of Wichita Falls
Texas, third-place winner, aver
aged 112.079. In taking thirc
place, Lou Meyer improved hi
own record by averaging 110.730.
Only 10 Of the 80 starting cars
finished.
Greatest Crowd
Shaw has been in the racing
game for II years. In his first try
in the Indianapolis 800" in 1927
he finished fourth, and he took
down second honors in 1888 and
again in 1885. Yesterday he drove
the entire 500 miles without relief
despite sweltering 90-degree tenn
perature.
Before 10000 persons and the
greatest crowd in American sports
history, Hepburn made a stirring
effort and was the closest second
in the IS years of the classic.
With Is miles to go, Shaw held
q lead Of a minute and eight Sec
ondS over Hepburn, who was COM
ing up with a furious rush. While
Shaw had been driving without
relief, Hepburn had been over
come by the heat earlier in the
race and needed Bob Swanson''
aid as relief driver.
Lap by lap he cut down Shaw's
lead. The latter did not 60 to the

Takes # Easy
ASHeWins
Last Set
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Experience is a great teacher
especially if the other fellow has
the experience.
In tennis. nothing is so true
and today no one better realizes
it than Harry Heffner, No. 9 rank
ing junior player Of the United
StE ties.
Yesterday, at Edgemoor, the
youthful Heffner, a clever player
without a doubt, opposed the vet.
eran Barney Welsh. Welsh took
the first set, "a.
Came the second set. Barney ap
peared very much on the lacka.
daiSical side. Young Heffner took
the set, Ga. A good-sized gallery
looked on and members of that
gallery were happy when the
youthful Heffner took the second
set. Some members of the gallery
were so rash as to forecast Bar
ney's downfall in the third set.
BurieS Heffner
With the games at 2-all in that
third set, and Barney as cool as
the proverbial cucumber, the Rock
vile squire, playing before his
charming mother, turned on the
heat" as they say in athletics.
Young Heffner was buried under
an avalanche Of varied shots.
Through the 26 games played
between Barney and Harry, Bar
ney didn't take an unnecessary
step. Often he led the youthful
Heffner into traps. Time and
again, in the second set, Barney
was so leisurely about the whole
affair that Harry was able to score
on placements. In the third ana
final set, Barney's feathers were
unruffled: Heffner was dog tired.
Heffner did well-very well. Bar
ney-well, Barney is Barney, the
superb athlete. Like all superb
athletes, he believes that one
should not discourage an up-and-
coming youngSter Of Harry Hett-
ner's type. However, in carrying
out his credo Of not discouraging
youngsters, Barney had his friends
worried, especially his best friend
his mother, who looked on a bit
awe-Stricken as her son sort OF
lolled through that second set.
But then, all's well that ends well,
as they say in the Story-book, and
the match ended just as Barney
had it figured to end.
Say what you may, Barney
Welsh in action has every distinc'
tive mark Of the champion. His
ease and grace intrigue the fol-
lower of higher athletics. He has
the shots of a champion, and
he's a SHOEMAKER. He has the
competitive temperament. The
tennis field in Washington must
improve enormously before Barney
goes under. He has the class.
The Welsh effner match was
the piece-de-reSistance of yeSter-
days play in the City Of Washing
ton mems championship tourney
under the auspices Of the Evening
Star, with Bill Dismer running
true to form and staging a really
great event.

THE STORY so FAR

EnvesffRnslng the murder of BOExTHO BLAINE, British hnan- cier, aboard CARLTON ROCK SAVAGE'S yacht, Detective Ofii- oer RETIRING runs into . maze of conflicting cIews.
 As the investigation progresses he charts the possible motives for each of the ships passenger; MRS. REGINALD JOCELYN, none SO far known; COUNT POSODINI, grudge motive against Blanc; Rocksavage, strong motive Of financial gain; BISHOP OF BUDE, strong motive since Blanc knew of his unsavory past.
 LADY WELTER, strong motive of financial gain; INOSUKE HAYASHTI, strong motive of fi- nanclal gain; REGINALD JOCE- LYN, strong motive of financial gain; MISS ROCKSAVAGE, none, apparently. Only the ships crew and NICHOLAS STODART, BIane's secretary, are cOnclusively ruled out on sound alibis. StOdart was in the ships lounge all dur ing the period in which Blanc obviously was murdered.
 As Kettering rounds out his de- auctions, Rocksavge appears with his physician, offering proof of his presence in his cabin when the crime was committed. The lounge steward corroborated this testi- rnony.

DEFECTIVE OFFICER KETTER- ING'S FIFTH REPORT CON- TINUED.
 l then examined the contents of the wastepaper baskets, which had been removed from each of the par ties cabins on the morning follow ing the crime, and three items of interest emerged from this exam animation.
 In the refuse from Count Poso- dini's cabin I found 31 cigaret ends, 25 of these are Chester fields, but the other are an Eng fish brand called Players, and four out of these six have obvi- ous traces of lipstick on them.
 In the refuse from Miss Rock savages cabin I found a twist of hair which had obviously been re- moved from a comb. Most of this was golden hair, which undoubt- edly comes from the head of Miss Terri Rocksavage, but mingled with 1t there are few short, black curly hairs, which definite 1y suggested that man had used that comb after her.
 Among the refuse from the Bishop of Budes cabin I found one match torn out of a booklet of matches, upon which is print ed in block letters the words "Adlon -Claridge."
 I then re-examined various members of the party.

 K.: Right, then. May have one of yours so we can be sociable?
 P. J. Certainly.

 P. J.: But-I don't understand. R.: Never mind. Just hand it over, will you It'll save all sorts of trouble in the end if you'll oblige me now.
 P. J.: All right. There's noth- ing very exciting about my lip stick, but I'm sure don't want to be searched. Here it is.
 K.: Thanks. You won't mind If I keep it will you? We shall need 1t later to prove that it matches the lipstick on these cigaret ends which I've got in this little tin box-see?

throwing eyes at each other on the first day out from New York I decided to start a party of my own with the Count.
 I knew quite well that I could take care of myself and thought that, if I spent half an hour alone with the Count in his cabin, be- fore changing that night, Reggie would be certain to ask why I was so late. As it was I had all my trouble for nothing. He was so occupied himself that he never even thought to ask where I had been.
 K.: understand.
 P. J.: wouldn't have told you this unless you'd had proof al- ready that he didn't come down till ten past eight, but now, as there's no object in keeping up my original story, at least I can get the Count out of trouble. I'm glad to do that because, whether he's jailbird or not, he's very amusing and kindhearted person.
 R.: Thank you, Mrs. Jocelyn I really am grateful to you fol having cleared this matter up.

HORATIO NELSON

VISCOUNT HORATIO NELSON
 V was 35 when, in command of the "Agamemnon" at the conquest of Corsica, in 1793, he lost his right eye. Soon after he attacked Spanish ship at Santa Cruz and lost his right arm.
