 CJnlted Press Sports writer New York. June ii.--tuPD-The Chicago Cubs won the ie4S National League flag because of pitcher Hank Borowy, but fl they repeat this year it probably will have to be in spite of him.
 Borowy. rapidly becoming the leagues number one problem pitch CT. has been a study in paradoxes, ever since he became the center Of one of last years most baffling bases ball deals, his transfer from the New York Yankees to the Cubs via waivers.
 At that time poss Larry MacPhail of the Yankees defended his action by stating that Borowy couldn't win after July {, because he was a spring pitcher" Borowy promptly disproved that theory by winning ii games and losing two with the Cubs. Without his help they couldn't have staved off the late bid for the pennant by the Cardinals.
 Batted Dat Q Times
 This year, Borowy seems to be headed for reputation of not being able to win before July 4-if at all. He has been knocked out of the box nine times in 10 starts. whereas in l045 with the Yankees he needed no relief in his first five games and won eight out of his first nine.
 Last year Borowy was the Cubs stakr,a.ssnas B tf.n swaaea sNss rsftsOssn tf1av could depend to step in and win one when they were doing badly. This year, ie is still the stopper" but unfortunately he is breaking up win- ming streaks now. At the start of the campaign they took four in a gow when Borowy made his first start and then the Cubs lost their first game.
 Yesterday. with the Cubs riding a seven game winning streak, Borowy tried again to hit his l945 form. And 1t looked for a time as if he would do 1t. Re pitched hitless ball against the PlAllies for seven innings and had an 6 to lead, but in the eighth he was raked for four runs. The Phils made four more in the ninth Co win, Q to 6. for their ninth vic- tory in their last iS games. Russ Meers, who relieved Borowy in the final inning was the loser. Frank Mccormack drove in the tying and winning runs with double.
 Dodgers Drop {
 The Cardinals reduced BrOoklyn's first place margin to two games by coming from behind to beat the Dodgers, 8 to 2 at St. Louis. It was Brooklyn's fourth straight defeat. Pinch-hitter Terry Moore singled home the winning run in the ninth to give relief pitcher Ted Wilks an easy victory. Wilks took over when starter Harry Brecheen went out for a pinch hitter in the eighth. The Cards got only five hits, but punched them.
 4 homer by Bob Adams and a three run double by pitcher Nate Andrews. his first hat of i0A6, gave the Reds an early lead which beat the Giants. ' to $ at Cincinnati. Re- lief pitcher Bob Malloy was given the victory.
 The Braves made t3 hits and took advantages of four errors and six walks to breeze to a 10 to win over the Pirates at Pittsburgh. Dick Cul- ler got four hits and Tommy Holmes made three for the Braves.
