- UHLE Wias 5 to 3 Game for Has Best Pitching Reco CHALKS UP SIXTH VICTORY WITHOUT LOSS| W[TH Detroit Tigers From Athletics— rd in Either Major Leagues —Yanks Lose Third Straight, This Time to Cleve- land—Red Sox Down White Sox—Braves Drop One to Cubs—Phils Take Battle From Cards. By the Associated Press. It you den’t beli the old saw about the benefits of a change in scenery consider the case of George Uhle, now throwing up his right hand slants for Bucky Harris' De- troit Tigers. For ten years Uhle did all his werk for the Cleveland Indians and very good work it was for the first eight of them. After a sensational weason in 1926 when he won 27 . ames and lost 11, Uhle slid back in alarming fashion. He won only eight sames against nine defeats in 1927 and ohly 12 against 17 reverses last season. Apparently at odds with their quondam star righthander, Cleveland officials traded him to De- treit during the winter for Ken Hol- loway and Packie Tavener. Under Bucky Harris' soothing in- | fluence at Detroit, Uhle has come back with a bang this year. Beating. the Philadelphia Athletics, 5 to 3, yesterday Uhle checked up his sixth victery without a defeat, the best record in either major league. Despite their defeat, the Athletics | held on to a tie for first place for the Yankees obligingly lost their third straight, this time to Cleveland by a ¢ to 3 count. Hudlin gave the champions only three hits in the first eight innings and stuck to his guns in the ninth to quell an upris- ing that ended with the tying run on base. Babe Ruth hit safely in his | 13 consecutive game. Behind fine pitching by MacFayden, the Boston Red Sox bunched three hits of Grady Adkin: in the fourth inning Chicago White 8ox, 2 to 1. | Rain washed out the St. Louis- Washington game. Over in the National league the Chicago Cubs bounced back into first place with a 6 to ¢ triumph over the Boston Braves while the lowly Phil. lies were beating the 8t. Louis Card- | inals, 10 to 9. The Braves hopped on Clarence Jonn for two hits in the first in- ning and with two Cub errors and & base on balls scored four runs.! Charley Root then relieved Jonnard | and held the Braves scorcless the | Danny | vest of the way while the Cubs were | k. pecking away at Sox Seibold for the winning tallies in the third and ssventh innings. “Barney Friberg's double with the bases filled in the ninth enabled the Phils to win an uphill struggle from | the Cardinals. The Phils trailed by five runs in the eighth but Cy Wil- Hams' pinch hit home run with one on accounted for two runs in the last half of that frame and four came across in the ninth. | At New York, John McGraw Giants were blanked by Adolf Luque ' -and the Cincinnati Reds and dropped , into seventh place in the standing: Luque held the New Yorkers to scattered hits and added insult- to injury by poling out & home run in' the_ sixth. The Pittsburgh Pirates clouted four Brooklyn pitchers for 18 hits and an easy 12 to 4 decision and thereby moved up into a tie with! Boston for third place while the Dodgers were sinking deeper into the cellar. Larry French, young southpaw, pitched steady ball for th- Corsairs.

The blow ended an excep- tionally close and well played game in which pitching and tight fieldirz played a large part. Harold Hult- berg essayed his fist gatie on the mound for the winners and turned the Stanmors back with seven hits, whie Dave 8tohl, hit harder, kept the winner's blows well scattered. With two out in the first inning Ed Stohl hit safely and Billy May scored him with a double, but the Swedes duplicated this by scoring oia NEW BRIT. singles by Erickson and Foberg after two were away. Dave and Walter Stohl hit for a Stanmor run in the sccond and again the winners came back when Hultberg helped his own cause with.a triple and scored a moment later, Then the game went on for four scoreless innings. It looked like a Stanmore victory in the sixth whea that team filled the bases, but Nel- son picked up a bunt for a force at the flate and cnded the rally. Nel- son hit with one dow: in the last inning and Bengtson followed suit. A great diving stab by Jack Thorsten- son nalled Nelson at the plate whon the lptter tried to score on Erick- son's bunt, but Foberg blasted a ! clean hit to center fleld and sent Bengtson home.

And when he plunged himself into disgrace he carried lnlnn. his exasperated teammates. Picture a gawky and thoroughly fightened recruit throwing *noth- ing” balls, making wild pitches, fall- ing down trying to fleld batted balls &nd heaving wide toszes at the bases and you have an idea of how Hubbell looked when he faced the Pirates one hot afternoon last Aug- ust. But everything Carl did wrong in his first appearance was done with perfect polish in his spectacular performance against the same team less than nine months later. Spotted by a roaming New York AIN DAILY HERALY, TUESDAY, MAY sports writer as a good prospect and picked up by the Giants with the udded recommendation of a veteran scout, Hubbell, then 24, came to the metropolis . while the Glants were spurting pennantward. About the second day out he was rushed into the game to halt a Pittsburgh rally. Nick Altrock at his best couldn’t Lave been half as good as Carl was at his worst that afternoon. He started by spotting the Pirates to a full set of passes. Then he made a wild pitch. A cluster of hits fol- lowed and when a puny little grounder came his way Carl kicked the ‘ball, then overran it and finally sat down. Picking himself up he hurried to shoot the ball to second for a force out. The ball sailed into centerfield and Carl was hustled out of the game. The identical play that finished Carl in that game was the one he hzd to make to complete his no-hit game. The strike he burned down to the middle bag wrote a taunting meskage of perfection and triumph.

Twelve of the Derby candidates will be seen in action under colors in the trial, the mile feature race at the Downs today, and the outcome will be watched with the greatest in- terest by turfmen.
