 New York, April 30-(UP)-Give a thought today to August J. Ga- Ian, little left-fielder of the Chica- go Cubs, who is yielding a potent bat and supplying a lot of the kick keeping the Bruins snapping at the heels of the pace-making Giants and Pirates.
 You won't find Galan, called "goo-goo" by his teammates and "Augie" by the fans, among the leading hitterS. His average is mere .25O but in the runs batted in column only three players top him-A1ky Vaughan, Pirates, with IA; Johnny Mccarthy, Giants, 13; and Hank Leiber, Giants, 12. All of them have played in 10 games while Galan, has batted in Il runs in only seven games.
 When the Cubs won their last pennant in 1885 it was Galan's sen- sational work which figured promi- nently. He batted .314 and led the league in runs scored, 133, and Stol- en bases, g. He Slumped in 1886 and 1897, batting .264 and .252, re- spectively.
 Augie hit his second homer in two days, with two mates on, and sim gle which drove in another run as the Cubs beat Cincinnati, GA yes- terday. Dizzy Dean, who allowed only 2 hits in 3 2-3 innings, retired in the fourth with a "kink" in his arm. Manager Charlie Grimm said the injury wasn't serious and that he had removed Dizzy as precau- ton. Jack Russell, American League castoff, got credit for the win in a relief role. Gabby Hartnett and Tony Lazzeri hit homers. By beat ing Paul Derringer the Cubs routed a 2-year-old jinx.
 Brooklyn nosed out the Phillies. 5-4, in 12 innings in the only other National League game. With two out and the bases loaded in the twelfth relief pitcher Hal Kelleher who had just come into the game, walked Buddy Hassett, forcing in the winning run. It was the Dodg- CTS third straight win and the Phils' eighth straight defeat.
 The Cleveland Indians increased their American League lead to a game and a half by deefating the St. Louis Browns, 3-2. Bob Teller won his third straight game, fam ming nine men and walking three. Hal Trosky and Ken Keltner led the Tribes attack with three hits each, Trosky getting d double and triple and Keltner homer. Rookie Keltner drove in all three runs. Russ Van Alta, hit by Lyn Lary's liner, was forced to leave the game. Beau Bell hit three doubles for the Browns.
 Bill Werber stole home with the bases loaded in the ninth, giving the Philadelphia Athletics a 7-6 triumph over Washington despite five errors. Dixie Walkers homer with a mate on base and Cletus Poffenberger's 7-hit pitching featured Detroit's 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
 Successive errors by Bobby Doerr and Joe Cronin placed two men on base in the sixth and they both scored to give the New York Yankees 6-4 triumph over the Boston Red Sox. Johnny Murphy, rescued Alley Donald, and received credit for the victory which lifted the Tanks back into fourth place. YESTERDAYS HERO Ken Keltner, 21 year-o.d Cleveland Rookie, who hit a homer and two singles to drive in three runs as the Indians kept up their blistering pace with 3-2 win over the
