Leod to 6H Comes;
Tigers Lose in 18th
BY JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press Shorts Writer


Bad blood has been flowing
between the Brooklyn Dodgers
and Chicago Cubs for two or
more years in one of the most
vicious feuds in baseball annals
and the situation is getting
storTnier.
Yesterday the boys were so
busy throwing bean balls at each
other they almost forgot the ball
game, but the Dodgers, operat-
ing in their element, captured a
l0-5 verdict from the Confused
Cubs, who made five errors and
used five pitchers to give ID hits.
One version of the trouble be-
tween the clubs is that it start
ed when Hugh Casey of the
Dodgers threw at pitcher Claude
Passeau of the Cubs a couple
of years ago. It has been kept
famed white-hot ever since with
knock down pitches, high slides,
name calling and even harsh
business office relations.
PASSEAU KNOCKED OUT
Through it all PasSeau has
managed to keep the upper hand
on the pitching mound, winning
seven and losing only twice to
Brooklyn = till yesterday. But
But the fellow who has won
more games than any other
pitcher this year, IS, got his
bumps this time.
He was pelted for seven hits
in 2 1/3 innings, giving four
runs, and couldn't get the ball
near the plate when Hiram BIZ
thron replaced him. Brooklyn
turned its batting on the rookie
and had him in such frenzy
that when he, too. had TO be re-
moved in the fifth inning he
threw the ball at the Brooklyn
benchwarmers.
Brooklyn was given one run
when the Cubs made three err
rors in the fourth. The first two
men up in the fifth walked, but
Mickey Owen was thrown out at
the plate trying to score from
second on wild pitch and Pee
wee Reese was trapped between
third and home on a bunt by Kir-
by Higbe, who was working for
the fourth time in week and
attained his tenth victory. In
spite of this the Dodgers again
loaded the bases and Paul Erick-
son. who relieved Bithron. made
a wild pitch on his first delivery.
In the sixth he busted Billy
Herman to the ground and Her
man, a former Cub, got up to
hit home run on the next pitch.
Lou Novikoff and Jimmie Foxx
hit homers for the Cubs.
LAABS ON SPREE
This encounter dwarfed other
developments of the day in the
major leagues. although Chef
Labs of the st. Louis Browns,
currently on batting spree, at
tracted attention at Philadel-
phia by driving in five runs as
the Browns beat the Athletics,
IA, in a night game. He hit q
homer, his 18th Of the year, with
the bases loaded in the second
inning and then in the third
frame lined TO the corner of
center field in Shibe Park and
was thrown out at the plate try
