Sweep Swinger
Wins for Bulls
BY LEWIS II. WAITER

T. d. Bull. Detroit socialite
sportsman, has watched race
horses carrying his blue and white
silks for six years, but it took a
2-year-old gelding named Sweep
Swinger to bring the stable what
was probably its proudest victory
That victory came yesterday in
the Dinner Club Purse at the De-
troit race track when Sweep
Swinger. running in the name of
Mrs. Bull. scored a nose victory
over Bebeja, with FL Toreador
third in the field of u juveniles
which went the five furlongs.
Sweep Swinger is son of Cues
tionnaire. which Bulls trainer,
Lex Wilson, claimed from the
Green Tree Stable at Hialeah
Park last Winter for $1,000.
George King, the tracks lead
ing jockey, brought Sweep
Swinger TO his triumph. bringing
the horse up in the last furlong to
catch the COL shot, Bebeja, one
stride from the wire.
Each of the Il horses in the
race raced in the interest of a
Detroit socialite. Bebeja was
leased for the race by Frank w
Shuell, former president of the
Bloomfield Hunt FL Toreador. a
Bomar Stable horse, raced for
Mrs. George Endicott. daughter OF
Charles B. Bohn, Detroit indus
trialist-sportsman.
Sweep Swing and Tomluta, an
other Bull horse. started as the
entry of Mrs. r ID. Bull and Mrs
C. Henry Bull. The entry was
favored in the betting and paid
Sc. 40.

DiMag's Streak at 81;
Yanks Supplant Tribe
Maybe Bob Feller
Should Pitch
Every Day
BY PAT ROBINSON
International News Service sports Writes

international News Service sports Nritef
NEW YORK. June 26.-We had
intended saying few kind words
about Lefty Grove and his two
hundred ninety-eighth m a or
league victory today.
We also had in mind few nice
remarks about Monty Pearson's
grand comeback: about Johnny
Rigney's 13-inning shutout and
about one Bill Harman, an aston
fishing rookie who shows up as
catcher for the Phils in the first
half of a twin bill and as pitcher
in the second half and does equally
well IN both spo,Ss-.a------r-----'--r'
You see the fact Is we'd tired
Of writing about Joe DiMaggio
and the rest OF the Yanks and so
we had intended giving them a
quick brush-off.
But the trouble with Joe and
the rest Of the YankS is that they
simply won't be ignored. And how
are you going 10 overlook an out
fit that has doggediy battled their
way into first place as have the
YankS today.
And how can we fail 10 mention
that Joe kept both his own and
the Yankee streak alive by betting
his sixteenth homer? II simply
can't be done and so we are forced
TO remind you that Joe has now
hit in 81 consecutive games-with
only four TO tie the record-and
that the Yanks created another
new record by getting "a homers
in a stretch OF 20 straight games.
Oh. well. those are the facts
and il the Indians intend TO stay
close TO the Yanks they'd better
start pitching Bob Feller about
every other day.
CRONIN'S CRUSHERS
The Yanks topped the Browns
yesterday while old man Grove
was stbduing the Indians, to 2.
And be it noted that Cronin's
crushers are very much in the
lpennant race.
And that brings us back to
| Rigney whom Uncle Sam turned
down because of a bad ear.
Johnny hooked up with Sid
| Hudson OF the Senators and they
went 13 heats before Johnny came
down in front. TO O. Sid gave
only three hits up to the fatal
inning when two hits and an in
territorial pass filled the bases.
