LEE OF CHICAGO
 HAS BECOME A GREAT PITCHER
Cubs Ace Was Nearly Re- leased Last Month;
 YankS Win
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, June 4-(UP)-The transformation of Big Bill Lee of the Chicago Cubs from one of those "hold your breath" hurlers into baseball's foremost pitcher as of to- day forms the background for the most intriguing study sn psychology to be found on the sports pages. Lee, an easy-going, soft-spoken southerner from Plaquemine, La., was hanging on the ragged edge the morning of May 19. Manager Charlie Grimm didn't know what to do about him. Dizzy Dean was a problem but Grimm knew what was the matter with him. He had a sore arm. But Lee wasn't sick or ailing. He had plenty of stuff but he just couldn't win. He was a case for the psychiatrists.
 Five times he had started and never been able to finish. Once he had 12-run lead and had to have relief in the ninth. It looked like he was forever doomed to be a pitcher who couldn't conquer him. self. Then the players began to say that Lee was quitter-that he didn't have any moxie.
 That was what they were saying on the morning of May 19. But they aren't saying it any more. Lee went out that day and beat the Giants, To, in 10 innings. But that was a victorysfor Lee over Lee, not over the Giants. When he walked off the mound his teammates shook hands with him and patted his shoulder. Lee believed in himself once more.
 Including that game he has won five straight games, four of them by shutouts. For his last 46 innings he has the phenomenal record of having allowed only one run. He pitched his third straight shutout yesterday to beat the Boston Bees, 40, and the Cubs moved within game and half of the National League lead.
 The Giants lost their fourth straight, lowing to Pittsburgh, 6-5. The Pirates made all six runs in the second to drive Harry Gumbert off the mound.
 After spotting Cincinnati four runs in the first inning Brooklyn came from behind to beat the Reds, 5-4. Van Mungo hurled two-hit ball after the first inning until he was relieved for a pinch hitter in the eighth. Dolf Camilli's single in the ninth drove in the winning run.
 Catcher Mickey Owens single in the 11th drove in the winning run which gave the St. Louis Cardinals an 8-7 decision over the Philadel- phia Phillies.
 The three American League lead CTS all won their games. Cleveland put on a six-run rally in the eighth to overcome the Athletics, 10-5, and give Johnny Allen his seventh victory. Triples by Averill and Trosky and doubles by Keltner and Campbell featured the big rally.
 Scoring four runs in the fourth the Yankees knocked off the Ti- gers, 5-1, as Red Ruffing won his sixth straight game. Joe DiMaggio hit homer No. 2. Wes Terrell held the White Sox to six hits in pitch ing Washington to a 5-1 victory over Chicago. It was Ferrell,s eighth victory. Al Simmons hit a homer with a mate on base. The Red Sox and Browns were rained out.
 YESTERDAYS HERO-Big Bill Lee, Chicago Cubs righthander, who won his fifth straight game, and pitched his fourth shutout in 16 days.

Pivoting is one of the more im- portant fundamentals of golf. Turn ing the body is necessary because there is no other way to get into position to hit the ball.
 Pivoting puts the body back of the swing and releases the arms, hands, and wrists for the work they must do. Make the turn of the body naturally and with ease, letting the hands swing fairly close to the body.
 Do not lift the club abruptly with the shoulder or hip turn. Allow the clubhead to lag behind the hands for the first few inches of the back swing.
 Swinging is not pivoting. The weight must be shifted properly, and when pivoting, the upper part of the body should turn until the back is presented to the hole.

Jumping Race
 "Clicks'' In First Test at Agawam

Springfield, June 4-Before the largest weekday crowd in the his- tory of Agawam Park-a. paid at tendance of 9214 - steeple-chase racing came to Agawam Park and to the commercial race tracks of New England to stay, yesterday aft ernoon.
 Today, even hardened race-track- CTS were still babbling about the frantic race that a band of half a dozen jumpers put up in the Brook side Steeplechase, two mile race which was won by old Mike Daly's Rouge Catalan and ridden by the gentleman jockey, Miney Howard of Armonk Village, N. Y.
 In the taking battle over 13 sporty jumps, two thoroughbreds and two riders hit the dirt. Louan- dre tossed s. Walters early in the battle, but the worst spill and most awful thrill was provided by Cap tain Hull, a reformed flat racer which, on the last and 18th jump with victory in sight, tumbled on his neck and threw Jockey T. Roby SO heavily that the game little fel- low was carted away in the track ambulance, severely shaken up but not mortally wounded.
 Close Enough
 Until the last jump, it was a three-horse race. John Bosley's Caniento, the favorite; Rouge Ca- talan, and Captain Hull, making his first start as Hopper" came up to that jump in tandem. The Captain eliminated himself as the crowd shuddered, and Rouge Ca- talan went on to win by head from the favorite.
 The race was such sensation that racing secretary M c "Ty" Shea announced today that two such pitched battles will be fought over the turf next week, the first on Tuesday and the second on Friday. And judging from the dis cussion one hears, they are to be the newest sensation in racing cir cles. Each of the races will be over the two mile course, and each will be for an $500 purse.

 ABLE TO SURVIVE

Houlton, Me, Feb. 3-(UP)-Two mothers mourned today three baby girls burned to death in log cabin fires in northern Maine yesterday.
 At Lincoln, Jessie Glidden, two, and her siester Carmen, three, per- ished despite rescue efforts of thC:r mother who succeeded, however, in carrying to safety her four-month ol ddaughter Shirley. The baby was taken 50 miles to a Bangor hospital, where her condition was reported critical.
 The mother, Mrs. Jesse Glidden, had left the two-room cabin, on iso- lated Narrows lake, to draw water from 8 spring. She ran back and rescued the baby, but was forced back by flames before she could reach the cribs of the other two children.
 Meantime in Houlton, a sheet-iron stove overturned in the one-room log cabin of William Faulkner, a woodcutter. Year old Shirley Faulk- ner lost her life and two other chill dren fled to safety. The mother, visiting a neighbor, attempted to enter the building but was unable to rescue Shirley.

in the wards they were not in dan ger and prevented possible panic.
 Many of the patients in wards facing the home had their beds moved so they could witness the blaze, although their view was blocked by the black smoke which poured from the wing.
 All Fire Apparatus
 The blaze, bringing out all avail able city apparatus, started on the fifth floor and had eaten its way to the fourth floor before firemen were able to train streams of wa- ter on the west wing from the street and porcheS of nearby residences.
 The hospital, only a short distance from the home, was not imme- diately threatened. Patients in wards facing the blazing wing, watched the flames from their win dows Nurses passed through the wards assuring them they were in no danger.
 The nurses home is a five-story brick structure. The fire was be- lieved confined to that portion of the building where it was first dis covered.
 AS a precaution, however, a gen. eral alarm was sounded soon after arrival of the first apparatus and West Hartford departments were notified to stand by in case of emergency.
 State Police There
 Squads of state police were rushed to the scene and threw protecting cordon around the area.
 Bremen, working their way to the fourth and fifth floors, threw debris through the windows to the lawn below in an effort to stem the blaze and prevent it from enveloping the entire building.
 Dense smoke poured from the structure, sweeping across the 4O- foot lane which separates the home from the hospital where several hundred patients were confined.
 So far as could be aScertained all of the nurses in the building at the time fled to safety.

 "The fire was first discovered by someone over in the hospital" she said. "The hospital called us and we went from door to door throughout the entire building, arousing all the night nurses. Wet made sure that every room was empty before we left the building"
