CHICAGO, June 25.-An X-ray
examination was prescribed today TO
determine whether Hank Leiber,
big outfielder of the Chicago Cubs,
suffered a skull fracture when struck
by a pitched ball during yesterday S
Cubs-New York Giants game.
Leiber, seriously hurt in 1887 by
one of Bob Feller's fast pitches dur
ing an exhibition game, was hit by
one of Cliff Melton's pitches in the
eighth inning. He walked unassist-
ed to the dugout but was taken i'm
mediately to Illinois Masonic Hos
pital.
DR.. John Davis, Cub physician,
said after an examination he did
not believe Leiber had suffered a
fracture. but decided night of rest
would be advisable before making
X-rays.
When hit. Leiber was wearing the
helmet" style cap worn by all Cubs
as protection against such accidents.
The cap is padded with fiber at only
the spots above the ears. however,
and as Leiber turned away from the
ball it struck him on the unprotect-
ed back of his head at point about
2 inches behind the left ear.

Soft Schedule

Yanks 10 Top
Sox Slaughter Tribe;
Cords, Dodgers Still
Are Neck and Neck
By JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer

The New York Yankees not only
are sizzling hot, they also have
reached a soft spot in the schedule
that may enable them to slip into
first place in the American League
on or before the Fourth of July,
when pennant winners are sup
posed to become apparent.
Right now the Yanks are facing
the last-place St. Louis Browns for
two more games and after they
finish this series will move into
four contests with the almost
equally feeble Philadelphia Ath-
letics and Washington Senators.
In the same period the league
leading Cleveland Indians must
tackle the robust Boston Red Sox
twice and the chesty Chicago White
Sox three times.
The implications Of this schedule
came to the fore yesterday as the
Yankees slaughtered the Browns,

the margin between the two top

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June
25.-Given the promised break in
the weather, nine eight-oared var
sity crews will tie up to their stake
boats at approximately 5:45 pm.
eastern standard time) today,
ready for a 4-mile race down the
Hudson River to decide the 44th
championship of the intercollegiate
Rowing Association.
The weather is an important mat
ter to the 70 lean. bronzed muscular
young men in the splinter-thin 60
foot shells. It's a tradition based
on records that fair weather means
fast race-and that's what's ex-
pected today. There have been
times when the wind kicked up the
Hudson so that shells were swamped.
Other times the crews out in the
middle of the river were slowed by
wind and rough water, while those
in the lee of the towering west
bank benefited by its protection.
Fiasco Last Year,
Last year produced notable
fiasco when the varsity race was
delayed almost until nightfall and
the junior varsities came down the
river in pitch darkness after most
of the spectators had gone home.
Even that hasn't lessened interest
in this classic. Some $4,000 spec
tators are expected to line the
shore, ride the observation train or
view the regatta from boats an
chored near the finish.
The slight possibility that the
weather may disturb form and
persistent reports that an upset may
be in the making. hasn't affected
the position of Washington's mighty
Huskies as one of the strongest
favorites in regatta history. A vet
eran boatload, big, rangy and con-
fident, the Huskies are even-money

Although Princeton had the best
