New York, Sept. 12.-(UP)-A busher up from Tulsa has made good with the Cubs.
 Thrown in against the tough Brooklyn Dodgers and the tougher Brooklyn fans in his first start since leaving the Texas League, the big fellow pitched a six-hitter to win 3 to 2.
 He wasn't afraid of Ducky Med- wick, Babe Phelps, Dixie Walker or any of the other Brooklyn sluggers. And the raucous, cruel jeers of the toughest crowd in baseball might just as well have been spoken in a language he didn't understand, for all the difference it seemed to make to him.
 Because the busher who made good at Ebbets Field yesterday was Dizzy Dean, once of the majors, late of the minors. For one day at least he ex- perienced the thrill of walking the very last foot of the comeback trail, and of once more stepping into the sun, be it only a sunset.
 The Dean of yesterday was hard ly recognizable to those fans who came out expecting to see the same old Dizzy, with his arrogance, clown ing, and testing manner. He warmed up before the game without so much as a glance at the stands, and once he started working he concentrated on every pitch as though it were going to be his last one on earth. He was slow, cautious, and often stopped to study the signals.
 Brooklyn Cheers"
 The big crowd, absolutely devoid of sentiment as only a Brooklyn crowd could be expected to be, rode him unmercifully for the full nine innings. I watched the game from the stands, not the press box, and from every side of me continual taunts were hurled at the aging athlete trying to regain a bit of his past glory.
 When the arm that used to be so accurate would walk man, down from the stands would come the shout "back to Tulsa, you bum."
 When the big right arm that used to "fog 'em" through would float nothing" ball up to the plate, the

kindly Brooklynites would shout Me and my brudder, Paul, we're great guys ain't wei"
 When Dizzy was reached for hit a chorus would deprecate, Knock the busher out, boys, knock it down his throat"
 But the innings kept coming and going and they didn't knock it down his throat. Dizzy's arm isn't what it once was, but it's whole lot bet ter than when the Cubs sent him down to Texas. His motion is much more free now, and when he gets in tight spot he can summon up a fast ball that would pass for a fast ball in almost any company. And there is nothing wrong with either his head or his heart.
 He knows how to pitch. He doesn't give the hitters many good balls to hit. He's always slipping across the corners, and mixing 'em up. And the clutch doesn't find him wanting. In the sixth inning, with the bases loaded and two down, he silenced the crowd by striking out Coscarart.
 He was an unbelievably subdued Dean, even when he walked into the clubhouse. He was one of the last players to reach the dressing room and his only show of feeling came when he tossed his glove above his head and called out 'Thankya fellers Thankya. Thanks, all of you"
 He started throwing things in his travelling case, but in twos and threes the Cubs interrupted him to shake his hand, pat him on the back and tell him he pitched helluva game.
 That was a good one to win," Dizzy told me. "A mighty good one. Yeah, I had pretty good stuff. Nav, I didn't get tired. Even in the ninth there wasn't any ache in my arm. It felt good and loose"
 Then OF Dig pulled off his clothes and started singing in the shower.

 New York, Sept. 12-(UP)-The New York Yankees, the peoples choice to. win the American league pennant, moved into Detroit today to face the club they helped ele- vate to first place yesterday. And the Tanks aim to do to the Tigers the same thing they did to the In- dians-knock them of the top perch.
 The three leaders, Tigers, Indians and Tanks, were all tied in the all- important lost column today, each with 58 defeats. Detroit leads the Indians by half a game by virtue of having played and won one more game. The Tigers top the Tanks by full game having played and won two more.
 The task of caging the Tigers,

 As a result, blue looks to be the post favorite to swing down the stretch as the flying color-winner in the hat shade derby. Rowing to the naturally conservative taste of most men, stores probably will play blue gray the hardest. with the pro- nounced blues to place, blue-greens to show. But for dark 'lnorse" bet, watch the taas, like covert and khaki.

 A second development of impor- tance is the advent of the so-called "mis-matched" bands. This trend again holds over from summers pop. ular coconut strawS, whose brown thatchings were adorned with pug gree bands Haunting an eight octave range In the color shade.

 After Beating Teller

who've won 6 out of their last 2 games, will be entrusted to Marius (Rube) Russo, dark-eyed Italian southpaw who has won his last seven straight. Last time Russo was beaten was by the Tigers, 3-2, in Detroit July 21. The old Yankee nemesis, Schoolboy Rowe, who's beaten the worlds champs two out of three times this season and fre- quently in other years, will do the chucking for the Tigers.
 The Yankees Tiger series Is for three games. At the same time the second -place Indians will be bat- ting the fourth-place Red Sox in three games. The Yankee-Tiger throat cutting gives Cleveland an- other lease on life, provided the Indians can do a job on the pitcher less Bostoniarls. If the Yankee Tiger series goes as have past meet ings, one team or the other will emerge as the club to beat.
 Baked by Rain
 Rain interferred with the Tanks plans to deal a crushing blow to the Indians yesterday. After beat- ing Bob Teller for the first time this year in Cleveland in the opener, 3-1, the Yanks dropped the 5 1-2 inning nightcap, 5-3. A double vic. tory would have given the Tanks the No. spot. The split enabled the Tigers, who beat the Red Sox, 11-7, to climb over the Tribe and into the lead.
 Ernie Bonham, the brilliant rookie called in from Kansas City in mid- season, outdueled the great Teller in the opener.
 An 18-hit attack enabled the Tigers to beat the Red Sox and re- gain the lead. Hank Greenberg hit homer No. 31 with mate on base. Charlie Gehringer collected i've hits and Barney McCosky, back in the lineup regularly aftee being laid up with an injured back, rapped out four.
 In the other two American league games Elden Auker pitched a g. hitter to give the Browns 80 shut out over the Athletics and Joe Kuhel's perfect day at bat (4 for D lead the White Sox to a "A win over Washington.
 Almost 'Tn"
 The Reds took another big stride toward clinching the National league pennant when they beat the Bees twice, SO and 3-1. Bucky Walters won his 19th game in the opener, allowing only four hits, while Paul Derringer likewise cop- ped his 18th in the nightcap, yield ing six hits. The double win com- h.ned with Brooklyns twin loss in- creased the. Reds lead to nine pmes.
 The Cubs polished of the Dodgers twice, S-5 and 3-2. Claude Passeau registered his 18th triumph in the opener. Dizzy Dean, making his first start since returning from the Texas league, soft-balled his way to victory in the nightcap. Dean allowed six hits, famed five and walked four.
 The Cardinals won a double vic- tory from the Giants, 7-4 and 3-2. Seventeen Card hits made Clyde Terry Moore's 18th homer in the ShounS task easy in the opener. ninth won the afterpiece.
 Pittsburgh won its sixth straight by defeating the Phillies, 9-3.
