With all his eccentric antics, Diz's good right arm is still the most valu- able piece of pitching bric-a-bric in the business Just as “King Carl” Hubbell dem- onstrated last week that he is back with all his stuff for this year's wars, #0 has Dizzy the great left little doubt in two starts that he is the No, 1 fig- ure in the Cards’ title hopes. Continuation of Warfare All of which adds up uo to a con- tinuation of the most famous pitching warfare of the current diamond era, between the Giants’ crack lefthander, who pitched a three-hitter in his first start, and the Gas House Gang’s overworked right-hand ace, with two victories to his credit to date. SUNDAY’S STARS Elbie Fletcher, Bees—His two- run double in ninth beat Giants 3-1. Pat Malone, Yankees—His four- inning relief pitching stopped Red Sox for ee Yankee win.

Giants Fail in Pinches The Giants lost a fine chance to move into the top with Pittsburgh by ‘undergoing their customary disastrous habit of failing to get runs for their pitchers -Rookie Cliff Melton turned in a six-hitter and fanned 13 men for the year’s record, only to have the Boston Bees catch up with him for a pair of runs in the ninth and post a 3-1 win. The New York Yankees finally Opened fire with all their guns and battered the Red Sox and tempera- mental Wes Ferrell for a 13-hit 9-3 win in Boston. The victory gave murderer's row a second-place league tie with Detroit's Tigers, who found Vernon Kennedy's strikeout ball too tough and ‘went down before the white Sox 11-7 for their first setback. ‘This pair of results left Connie ‘Mack's upsetting Athletics at the top of the heap with three wins in four : yea since the A’s were rained out Washington.

In the other overtime tilt, the Cleveland In- dians also came from behind to nose|, out the St. Lowls Browns 5-4 in the llth.

Feller’s initial appearance this sea- gon was marred by an erratic first inning, when he gave two hits and '- | walked four Browns to give the visi- tors the four runs which enabled them to defeat the Tribe, 4 to 3. The youth did not disclose to Man- ager Steve O'Neill until the sixth frame that he pulled the muscle on paris |a curve ball in the first inning. The manager immediately replaced Feller with Ivy Paul Andrews. Juniors Win Class Meet at Hettinger Hettinger, N.
