Chicubs Capture Lead
In National League Dash
Mound
Work Asset
Drive
BY ANTHONY ]. PUGLIEsE

International News Service Sports Writer
NEW YORK, June 6 QN.S0.
eliminating a winning drive high.
lighted by superb pitching and
timely hitting, the Chicago Cubs
today scanned the pack from the
crest of the National League for
the first time this year.
Meanwhile, the New York
Giants-the Bruins arch rivals
and leaders in the pennant chase
thus far-are mired beneath six
game losing streak that has
logged them since starting into
the hinterlands.
This may be the turning point
in the race. Whereas the Cubs
are playing confidently, spurred
by the brilliant pitching of Bill
Lee, Tex Carleton and some of the
lesser lights of the mound staff
the Giants are a tight" ball Clue.
1t may be quite a problem to nudge
the Cubs off their newly won
throne.
BUBBLES IN CLUICd
Gone from the New Workers is
the smooth fielding and assurance
born of a well-knit club. Boobies
are showing up the in the clutch
Tension is showing itself in every
department of the Giants game.
Hitting has tapered off from the
early season peak. pitching is
shoddy and Bill Terry frantically
seeks a second baseman to sup
plant Lou Chiozza and Mickey
Haslin.
The Cubs sailed into the league
leadership By half a game by
taking the Phillies into camp, 7
to /, while the Giants we're losing
two Chicago rallies by driving
Carleton held the Phillies to
eight hits and figured largely in
two Chicago rallies by driving
in two runs with a double and a
single. Hugh Mulcahy suffered
his seventh loss for the Phillies,
while Carleton was credited with
his sixth victory.
The Giants were held to three
hits by youthful Johnny Wander
Nicer as the Reds won their sixth
game in seven starts from the
Giants this year. Clydell Castel-
man, who was relieved by Cliff
Melton in the eighth, was the
losing pitcher. Singles by Joe
Moore and Hank Leiber and a
double by Mel OFT were the only
Giant blows.
HOMER NO GOOD
Despite Gus Suhr's homer with
two on base, the Pirates lost to
the Dodgers, 10 to S. Buddy Has
Sett featured the Brooklyn 15-hit
assault with four hits.
In st. Louis the Cardinals won
the opener Of a twin bill from the
Bees, 6 to 5, the winning margin
being provided by Johnny Miles,
homer with one on. Then the Bees
took the nightcap, 10 to 3, on Mlt
Shoffner's nine-hit pitching.

Yanks dropped a 6-to-5 tilt to the
st. Louis Browns in a double
header opener marred by rain. The
Inightcap was postponed on &C
count of darkness. Lefty Gomez
suffered his sixth defeat as the
Browns rallied with four runs in
the fifth.
Vernon Kennedy continued his
sensational pitching, winning his
ninth straight game, as the Tigers
beat the Boston Red Sox, 10 to A.
Kennedy held the Sox to nine hits,
while the Tigers got IA off Wilson,
Dickman, and Marcum.
The Chicago White Sox broke a
10-game losing streak by taking a
twin-bill opener from the Athletics,
s to 2, and then fell back into
their losing ways by dropping the
nightcap, 7 to 6.

Look at Teddy Yarosz and
George Abrams, who will drop
their nice manners 1--WE hope)

about Griffith Stadium. Unfor-
tunately, even the modern inven-
tons and Streamlined improve
mentS have failed to devise
proper protection for a punch in
the nose, and lurnpy ears and
SCARED faces are still the box
er's unmistakable badges Of his
trade.
But talk to Abrams and he's
as unspoiled as any high school
kid. George has a shyness
which is remarkable for one
whose ring instincts are so
sharply attuned. No dance halls
or pool rooms for this boy. He
spends his time doing some
amateur Sketching and his draw
ings have real talent.
Yarosz is equally a gentleman
With more IMAM q I1OOQ11lS dC-

examples. Look at Henry Arm
strong, who battered Barney
Ross mercilessly last week.
One glance at Henry tearing
Ross apart would convince the
casual observer that here was
a hoodlum, a savage, a menace
to the community and other
phrases indicative of a hard
apple. Yet Armstrong wrote
some free verse that was &C.
claimed as excellent" in New
York, and one never associates
savagery with poet. Nor is
Henry out of the money in the
discussion of any current events.
He has a keen mind and gift

BY CARROLL PEEKE

Special Prosecutor Neudeckel
last night drove the Baron vor
Blau nearer to a conviction, in the
belief Of trial analysts Of year,
standing.
Their belief was, Of course
based on the appearance Of Ger
tain witnesses in the corridor oi
the studios Of VOL, where the in
vestigation into the fictional mur
der Of Ronald Brooks, Capital
architect, Is now in progress. ,
The most damaging circum
stance, to be gathered from out
side the jury room, was the
double furore which penetrated to
the corridor just after Erich Hol
bein, Baron Won Blau's secretary
had been called before the jury
Of inquiry, and again toward the
very close Of the session.
BUILDER is CALLED
Andrew P. Kalhorn, the builder
who handled most Of Brooks con-
tracts, was called and remained
in the jury room during most OF
the session. He sauntered into
the corridor about 9:40 p. M,
smoking the stub of a cigar. Some
enterprising reporter could make
q name for himself by discovering
Kalhorn at the beginning of a
smoke! The stub Of his cigar Is
almost as much the insignia Of
Kalhorns personality as the
Baron'S long white cigarettes are
of his. To my knowledge, nobody
has even seen Andy with a whole
cigar. His booming voice sawed
through the wooden doors with a
rumble that was tantalizing. What
he said we cannot yet know.
RUBY TESTFIES
Ruby Robert testified. thought
she would. But she came out CIV
ing her little gray Persian lamb
muff q determined fillip, and
passed me by without more than
a curt nod. She has resented my
inquiring about that insurance let
ter-but I had to ask her about IT,
You can see that. Furthermore
what has become of Hathaway? Is
he out of town? I must get at
that matter over the week end.
OF course Mehitable Larkin
made another appearance. She
seems to know something OF i'm
portance. But even Ruby wasn't
more tightlipped than Ronald
Brooks loquacious neighbor. Usual
" she likes to have the boys ask
her what went on-Mrs. Larkin,
I mean-but last night the de-
termined set Of her feather, and
q sharp glare were the only signs
of life from Mehitable.
VALET ON STAND
Won Blau's valet, a meek little
japanese, named Kataburo Hiro-
Shigi, went into the jury room
near the sessions end, and
whether he testified or not I
don't know. But I do know he
came out q far more nervous man
than when he went in.
Eucalyptus Gibbs, the Maryland
colored farmer. was called for
and it looked like the Special
Prosecutor was making progress,
for he came out with his hat at a
rakish angle, his cigar fairly ex-
uding success, and smiling like
the cat that swallowed the
canary,
