Colldpsing Giants Pin
Hopes on Carl Hubbell
Face ChiCubs In
Crucial Test
Of Trip
By PAT ROBINSON

NEW YORK. June 8 U.N.S0.
A few weeks ago the Giants were
sitting on top Of the world. They
were 6la games in front; the
pitchers were clicking; they were
getting the breaks; and some local
pesSimistS were afraid they might
run away from the rest Of the
league. ...... .
That last crack must be q laugh
to Chicago fans who see their
Cubs in first place by a game and
half today and are hopeful that
the lead will be much more before
its any less. It may be, at that,
unless Carl Hubbell can stop the
powerful upsweep Of the Cubs.
Bill Terry thinks he has the best
pitching staff in the country. Well,
everybody will readily admit his
pitchers are good, but as for be-
ing the best in the land-or even
in their own league-BoSton, Gin
cinnati and Chicago beg to differ.
LEE TAMES GIANTS
The Giants got a load Of that
Chicago pitching yesterday when
Charley Grimm trotted out big Bill
Lee for his sixth straight victory.
During that streak Lee has shown
some of the finest pitching seen
in recent years. He had pitched
IS scoreless innings until Mel OFT
found him for a homer yesterday
and he has been scored on only
three times in Sc innings. He gave
only seven hits, including the
aforesaid Ottian homer and
another by Ripple, while the Cubs
got to Melton for II, including
even more damaging homers by
Herman and Marty, the final score
being Cubs, 4; Giants, 2.
The question now arises: II the
crippled Cubs, with Dizzy Dean on
the shelf, could overhaul the
Giants so easily, what will they do
when Dean and the rest Of the
cripples get back on the job? The
prospect can't be exactly pleasing
for Bill Terry who must have de-
cided by this time that he could
use something more than a new
Greek second baseman to assure
him a pennant. A few hitters, for
instance, might help.
In the only other game in the
National, Burleigh Grimes sent
three throwers to the hill and
frankie Frisch sent five and when
the firing had ceased Padgett and
Medwick had hornerS and the
Dodgers had a IS victory.
TRIBE CONTINUES
The Indians increased their lead
to four games by knocking off the
Red Sox, IS, in a ninth inning
uprising, while the White Sox
were surprising the Yanks, 8-5.
Thornton Lee not only surprised
the Yanks by holding them to
nine hits but he positively shocked
them by unloading a 425-foot
homer worthy of a Babe Ruth.
Great men-those Lees.
Temperamental Johnny Allen
surprised Manager oscar Witt by
walking out of the game because
the umpire objected to him pitch
ing with torn sleeve, al la Dazzy
Vance. Witt then shocked Allen
by slapping $3.50 fine on him.
Despite all this the Red Sox
could make no more than five hits
off Allen, and Zuber and Hum.

OFFICE WOMEN'S 2 HELD IN AUTO
WAGES STUDIED PARKING FRAUD

The District Minimum Wage
Board today weighed suggestions
that the mandatory pay scale for
women office workers be deter
mined on a piece-work basis, and
that women studying law and en-
ployed by lawyers be exempted
from it's operation.
The piece-work proposal was ad-
vanced at a meeting yesterday by
Louis RothSchild, legal representa-
tive of firms specializing in ad-
dressing letters. He described the
piece-work system as equitable"
for the type of employment his
clients offered.
In response to employees con
tentionS they need a wage OF at
least $20.60, RothSchild countered
that manicureS and marcel waves
were not necessary adjuncts fol
addressing postcards and letters
AS to clothing, the attorney as
serted, any costume, "eVen Slacks,
would be satisfactory.
Speaking for the Women'S Bal
Association, Mrs. Elizabeth Cox
urged the exemption Of the women
law students. Another hearing on
the office workers wages will be
held next Wednesday at 10 a. m
in the old Police Court building.

Something approaching revenge
was being enjoyed today by five
irate motorists who were pre-
sented with parking tickets on
Navy Day-merely because they
paid IS cents to store their We
hicleS in parking lot" at Sixth
and L Streets Southeast, while
they saw the sights at the Navy
Yard.
The difficulty, the motorists
found when they complained about
the tickets at No. 5 Precinct, was
that the parking lot" is actually
a municipal playground, taken
over by three ingenious youths
who charged a nominal fee for
watching" the vehicles.
The police promptly began an
investigation and today they have
in custody at No. S Precinct two
youths in connection with the in
cident.
A third youth is being sought.

Fatal Plane Crash
y Family
Board Appointed
To Investigate
TUO Deaths

An Army board of investigation
met today in an effort 70 de-
termine the cause of the plane
crash in AnacoStia yesterday in
which Lieut.. Col. Leslie MacDill,
distinguished Army flier, and Pri-
vate Josepr G. Gloxner were
burned to death.
Members of the board, ap-
pointed by Lieut.. Col. Floyd E.
Galloway, commanding officer RI
Boiling Field, are Major Charles
P. Prime, Capt. Howard M. Turner
and Lieut.. William E. Hall.
NO VERDICT YET
Coroner A. Magruder MacDon-
aid announced no inquest in the
deaths of the two fliers will be held
until the board has announced its
findings.
Members of the board examined
the charred wreckage of the plane
and interviewed a number Of wit
nesses, who said they heard the
motor sputter few moments be-
fore the combat ship plummeted
to the earth at Fourteenth and E
Streets Southeast, and burst into
flames.
Other witnesses reported that
the wings Of the plane seemed to
flutter, and this gave rise to the
belief that some mechanical de-
feet may have developed.
HOUSE NEARBY
The plane took off from Boiling
Field yesterday morning on rou-
tine tactical flight, and three
minutes later crashed, narrowly
missing house.
Bursting into flames as it
struck, the plane set fire to four
parked cars, which were destroyed.
Several pedestrians rushed for
ward in an effort to pull the flierS
from the blazing plane, but were
driven back by the intense heat.
Louis Fielder, garage mechanic,
attempted to put out the blaze
with a small fire extinguisher. and
suffered burns about the face be-
fore he was forced to withdraw.
GIVEN ABSOLUTION
Attracted by the sound Of the
crash and the explosion which fol-
lowed, the Rev. j. j. Clark, of st.
Theresa'S Catholic Church; rushed
to the scene and gave abSolution
to the fatally injured fliers.
Officers expressed the belief
that when trouble developed, Col
onel MacDill was attempting to
return to the field, and unable to
reach there, was hoping to land
on a football gridiron short
distance from where he crashed.

PRICE Of WHEAT
JUMPS ) CENTS
Southwest Harvest Proves
Grain Damaged by
Cold and Rust.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June 1.-THE excited
wheat pit was flooded today with buy
ing orders that skyrocketed prices al
most S cents a bushel back to so
cents. the highest in five weeks
Trading rules prohibit jump or de-
cline of more than 5 cents in one
session.
Claiming by its sharpest squirt of
the year the attention of the grain
world, the sensitive market nirrored
highly important trade developments
Combines numbering through golden
fields of the Southwest have brought
to light evidence of startling crop
damage done a month or two ago by
frost and cold weather Ravages of
rust also have been barred. Excessive
rainfall has slowed the harvest and
lodged wheat
Widespread reports of these perils,
partly confirmed by experts swarming
into the belt to make new appraisals
of the crop which promised to be
the largest in the Nations history,
indicated decidedly less optimistic
prospects for bumper winter wheat
yield.
This development. coupled with the
fact that domestic prices haye risen
about IL cents bushel from the five
year low level of 10 days ago, brought
into play still another important
bullish factor. Frightened by the crop
reports and by the higher prices,
European importing nations bought
more American wheat than they have
purchased in weeks. Export sales
were estimated at almost 100000
bushels, mostly old and new hard
winter wheat, and a little Canadian
grain.
The official Government crop re-
port for June, released after the
wheat market closed yesterday, fore
cast the biggest domestic production
in history, but traders noticed one
surprising item. The Governments
winter wheat forecast was 760, ,623, 900.
Scarcely 10 days ago six private
crop experts, whose figures are gen.
orally accepted by the trade as re-
liable, had predicted crop Of 810,-
100000 bushels. That figure was
the average of their estimates.
