Ne1U York Giants And Yankees Located Stride
Gabler Great Comic of Boston
 Bees Outfit
BY ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, April 28. = (UP) - Let ting the baseballs fall where they may:
 Garralous Frank Gabler, the to- chewing Boston Bees right handler, will be remembered for his humor long after many of his pitch ing efforts have been charitably for gotten. .. It was only yesterday he told the players in the dugout of his long-suffering brother, Glen, who pitched last season on the Giants farm in Jersey City.
 That brother of mine looked like shadow after that long season at Jersey City," said Frank. When he went away he weighed 180 and when he came home, he weighed 162. .. That guy pitched about 316 innings that season. One day he won doubleheader and then after two days rest, he went back and lost one"
 Work Horse
 Must have been the only guy on the club who had baseball" sug- gested Casey Stengel. "Yeah that's right" answered Gabler, "and every time some guy hit foul, my brother would have to chase it. Terry asked me one time if the kid had any speed. says he's got plenty of speed, probably you saw him work late in the season about his fiftieth game"
 q saw that kid pitch one time, said Coach High-Pockets Kelley. He didn't look like he had much speed to me. .. The way that bal was coming up there the last three innings, I thought he was drop kickin' it''. And with that, the Bees bounded out of the dugout to spread themselves around the dia- mond and the outfield for pre-game practice.
 There's more talk this season ln the majors about pacesetting than ever before. Cowboy Gehrig $ batting slump is attributed to the absence of his sluggin-mate, Joe Di- Maggie. And plenty of experts feel that Johnny Mize, the tall Cardinals first baseman, will start pounding the ball when Ducky Med- wick returns to the lineup.
 Jim Turner, who led the National League in effectiveness a year ago, likes pitchers who have control, probably because his own is so good. The smiling milkman, called Pappy by most of the Bees, thinks that Luke Hamlin would win more games than any Brooklyn Dodger il he was used regularly.
 Right or Wrong?
 Max West hits to all fields but apparently the Brooklyn Dodgers outfelders don't believe it. They all play the young first baseman like a dead right field hitter. Max points his feet to right and it's not surprising that most fo hsi hits since the training season have land- ed in right or center field. He hos hit few fly-balls to left, how ever.
 Tony Lazzeri, the Aul Yank, just won't stay on the sidelines now he's joined the Cubs. He has been playing regularly either at short or third and apparently finds the chummy left field fence to his lik- ing. .. Already, he's hit couple oi homers in that direction. .. Rumo1 has it that Bald Bill Urbanski, the chunky Perth Amboy barber whc bats cleanup once in while for Tor onto, will soon find his way back to the majors. Lippy Leo Duro- cher, oftentimes called the all- American out, claims Dizzy Dean will win 20 games for the Cubs.

 Cleveland's 6-game winning streak petered out in Chicago when Thorn ton Lee handcuffed the Indians with ' hits and triumphed 6-3. Henry Steinbacher, White Sox second year rookie, continued to murder all kinds of pitching with three hits to run his batting averageto .520. Mike Kreevichs triple was the winning punch for the White SoX.
 Washington moved within half a game of the lead by trimming the Boston Red Sox 5-2, behind Jimmy Deshongs 7-hit pitching. Buddy Lewis and Ossie Bluege, subbing at second for Buddy Myer, each got two hits.
 Buck Newsom scored his third straight victory by pitching the St. Louis Browns to a 7-2 triumph over Detroit. The Browns knocked Tommy Bridges out of the box. Doubles by Sullivan and Kress, triple by Mazzera and a homer by McQuinn led the Browns assault.
 Arky Vaughan's homer with the bases loaded wrecked Larry French's shut-out game in the seventh ln- ming and sent Pittsburg on to 6-5 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. Un- LII vduSlldIl , UlOW TACAlSAA Aie~N "A lowed only four scattered hits.
 Lon Warneke pitched the greatest game of the day in allowing only 3 hits as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds, 50. Joe Med- wick, National league batting cham pion, returned to the Cards lineup and singled once in four times at bat.
 Mickey Owen hit three doubles to lead the Cards attack.
