HOLLYWOOD, June 27.-They
gave a birthday at Hollywood Ball
Park for Floyd Caves Herman last
night and the redoubtable Babe,
one of his 38-year -old legs on the
blink, responded in true Herman
fashion.
He heard himself eulogized over
a cake which weighed almost as
much as he did, extolled as the
greatest athlete ever produced in
nearby Glendale, and went on to
play as if this was his first, instead
of his 2lst, season in baseball.
Hampered by twisted knee, he
maintained his Pacific Coast League
batting championship with a single
and double and performed
creditably at first base as Holly
wood defeated league leading Sacra-
mento, 1913
Several speakers reviewed briefly
the Herman career, but none so
succinctly as did Pepper Martin.
The old wild hoSs, now Sacramento
manager, stepped up to the micro
phone and stated:

ticeship in the National League. y

Win; FeIIer Lucky;
Yonks Garry on
BY JUDSON BAILEY.


The Brooklyn Dodgers and st.
Louis Cardinals are in an exact tie
for the National League lead today,
and apparently they are going to
keep right on fighting each other
until the end of September.
This is an old custom in the senior
circuit. but never any more fiercely
contested than this year.
The Dodgers pulled into a tie last
night by crushing the Boston Braves,
11-2, while all other teams in the
league were idle.
Brooklyn went west couple Of
weeks ago trailing by two games.
They won 10 out of IA on their trip,
in contrast to the debacle of their
first Western swing, when they lost
six out of eight.
Last night the Dodgers made the
Braves their stepping stone to the
top.
Wyatt Hurls 11th Win.
Whitlow Wyatt pitched f1ve-hit
ball for his 11th victory, and had a
shutout until Gene Moore singled
with the bases loaded in the eighth.
This extended to 43 the number Of
consecutive scoreless innings Boston
had had against Brooklyn this sea-
son, losing the last four meetings by
Shutouts.
The Dodgers mauled three pitch
ers for IA hits, four Of them by the
slugging Dixie walker, and punched
seven runs in the third inning to sew
up the game.
The New York Yankees held on to
their slim percentage lead in the
American League by humbling the
st. Louis Browns. Al, with a spec
tacular one-hit pitching performance
by Lefty Marius Musso.
The young southpaw was parted
from a no-hit game in the seventh
inning when George McQuinn
smacked a homer into the right field
stands, but he faced only 27 other
batters. and let no other Brownie
get past first base. Two double plays
wiped out men who walked.
Di Maggie Hits Last Time Up.
Joe Di Maggie doubled on his last
time at bat to run his hitting streak
to 80 consecutive games, three short
of the record, and Tom Heinrich
homered to extend the clubs record
string of four -baggers to IS in 81
straight games.
The Cleveland Indians rallied for
six runs in the seventh inning to
beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-8, and
prevent the Yanks from increasing
their margin. Bob Feller was shelled
for II of Boston's II hits and gave
the Sox ST. advantage in the
first three innings. He evidently
had to be relieved, but received
credit for his 18th triumph against
three DEFEATS
Bob Johnson, hit two home runs,
each with two on, and two singles
to account personally for six runs
and help the Philadelphia Athletics
to an 8-to-4 victory over the Detroit
Tigers. They were his 18th and 18th
of the season.

Braves Are Not
Ready TO Rebel,
Stenge| Says
Nothing Wrong With
Them.Thot Winning
Streak Won't Cure
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

BROOKLYN, June 27.-Losing
ball clubs seldom are happy clubs.
and the Boston Braves are no excep-
ton, says Manager Casey Stengel.
A rumor has been going the
rounds that a rebellion is brewing
among the Braves, just as trouble
has been reported in connection
with the Cincinnati Red and other
clubs at one time or another. But
there is nothing seriously wrong at
Boston, according to the manager
and various players.
Sure, We have guys who don't
feel good" explained Stengel while
here for game with the Dodgers.
80 does Brooklyn. Do you sup
pose those two Dodgers who were
fined for taking airplane lessons are
happy about it? But We don't have
any real trouble"
Good Reasons for Trades.
Asked about Max West. the young
outfielder who won the all-Star game
for the National League with home
run last summer, but who is hitting
POT at the moment, Stengel re-
torted:
II you were a ballplayer who
thought you had a chance to be
traded to a pennant winner and get
that extra $1,000 from the series,
you'd feel a little badly too about
being on a seventh-place club"
Then Stengel launched into an
explanation of some of his trades
which were reported to have upset
his players.
II don't trade players because
their salaries are too big. Any man
in his right mind would rather pay
big salaries and have players that
would keep his club up there.
/ Il let Babe Dehlgren go to the
Chicago Cubs because have plenty
of first baseman on the club and
coming up in the farm system.
But I need catchers bad. When
I sent Dahlgren to Chicago, got
Tulsa "a Cub farm to sell me this
kid catcher, Al Montgomery.
Building for Future.
I'VE can't win a pennant this
year. So we have to build for the
future. Dahlgren just didn't figure
for us. I notice the Cubs lost
three straight to the Giants with
him.
when we let Al Lopez and Elbie
Fletcher go to Pittsburgh, each time
it was the last day of the trading
season and We had to get the
money. Lopez was with us long
time and I think right now he is
one of the three best catchers in
our league.
But how good have Turner. Sulli-
van. Lanning, Majeski and some
of those other fellows been that
we let go? And we still had Addie
: Miller and Chet Ross and lot Of
other good boys.
I'VE have a crippled ball club
now and we're not doing as well as
expected. But we'll get going"
Several players, contacted sep
arately, declared there was no
trouble on the club. West, who
has had an injured ankle. grunted
an 'huh-up" in denial that he was
unhappy.
