Giants Step Along As
They Get Good Hurling
By HUGH S. FULLERTON. Jr.
< Asi>criated Press Sports Writer)
The boys who follow National
league developments are beginning
to suspect that Bill Terry, manager
of the New York Giants, has some
thing up his sleeve besides a bioken
wrist. And that something seems
to be pitching power.
When they started the season, the
Giants looked no stronger than the
club which finished tied for sixth
place last year. But new. even with
Sam Leslie playing first, the Giants
have climbed to the top of the Na
tional league standing.
Terry has found one great
weapon in his star southpaw. Carl
Hubbell. who has allowed only one
run in 32 2-3 innings. In addition,
in the last three days, the Giants
have demonstrated that Hal Schu
macher could pitch a five hit game:
that Leroy Parmelee could come
through with a one hit iierformance
and finally that Ray Starr, the ex
Caiainal, can do some effective
hurling.
Starr Hurls Well
Except for some wildness, Starr
pitched six good innings against
the Phillies yesterday, allowing only
lour hits before he retired for a
pinch hitter and Hubbell came in
lor three scoreless innings to ring
up his third victory as the Giants
opened up with a three run out
burst in the eighth inning, won 5
to 2 and climbed into first place.
The Chicago Cubs shoved Pitts
burgh out of the lead, beating the
Pirates 3 to 2 on the strength of a
big fourth inning as Guy Bush and
Bill Swift lought it out on the hill.
Brooklyn beat the Boston Braves.
1-0. in the season's third mound
duel between Walter Beck and Ed
Brandt. Brandt gave only four
hits to seven off Beck but the
Dodgers got one effective cluster.
The St Louis Cardinals took their
first decision from Cincinnati,
hunching four singles with a walk
and a fly for three runs in the
ninth, to win 3-2.
C'hisox Victors
Three four-hit pitching feats and
one slugfest which saw the Chi
cago W'hite Sox. led by their new’
“dynamite trio." A1 Simmons. Mule
Haas and Jimmy Dykes, blast out a
10-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers,
marked the American league day.
Charley Rulfing pitched four hit
ball for the champion New York
Yankees, and beat the Philadelphia
Athletics. 5-2. as Lou Gehrig. Babe
Ruth and Earl Combs all hit homers
off Sugar Cain.
Ed Lmke. Washington's 21-year
old right handed rookie turned in
a four hit game against the Boston
Red Sox in his first start, winning
3-2 despite a burst of wildness that
forced him out in the ninth. George
Blaeholder held the Cleveland In
dians to four safeties and the St.
Louis Browns won 3-2 with the aid
of some lusty clouting by Jim
Levey.

Galveston Whips Dallas
5-2; Buffs Defeat
O. K. C. 5-2
Skipper Billy Wej)b and his Gal
veston Buccaneers continue to be
head-men In the Texas league pen
nant race. The Buccaneers retained
a slim lead over the Houston Buffa
loes Thursday night with a 5 to 2
decision over the Dallas Steers. It
was the first night game of the
season for Dallas. The Steers were
limited to five hits.
The Buccaneers played smart and
fast baseball behind the consistent
pitching of Chief Moore. John
Whitehead, giant right-hander,
started for Dallas and hurled com
mendable ball but could hot get
hitting support from his mates. The
defeat dropped Dallas to a third
place tie with the Beaumont Ex
porters.
Making four hits count, the
Houston Buffaloes won the open
ing game of their series against
Oklahoma City in a night contest,
5 to 2. Harry Matuzak held the Buf
faloes to four hits, but one was a
double by Binder and another a
triple by Goodman and they were
the hits that drove in the runs.
Sammy Hale, third baseman, was
the whole show In Tulsa’s 11 to 7
victory over the Beaumont Export
ers. His three hits, one a home run.
drove six runs across the plate. The
circuit wallop occurred with the
bases loaded. It was a ding-dong
battle ail the way through and
Hale’s homer was hit after Stone
ham. Tulsa rightfielder, had hit a
homer to tie the score.
Timely hitting gave San Antonio
a 9 to 3 victory over Fort Worth.
The Missions attack was featured
by Purdy. Bettencourt. Sturdy anl
Manager Severeid. Kowalik held the
Cats to five hits and was never jn
danger.

DIZZY SEEKS
SEVERAL RUNS
Even Hia Pitching Cannot
Win Without Runs,
Dean Says
8T. LOUIS. April 28. ,4’>—Jerome
“Dizzy” Dean, bombastic Cardinal
pitcher, has joined the ranks of the
modest great—at least outwardly.
He has been credited with the loss
of two games so far this season, and
no victories. He pitched almost flaw
less ball in defeat, but his mates
couldn't aid with basehits.
Yesterday he gave but four hits
in eight inings. was jerked for a
pinch-hitter, and Tex Carleton. who
twirled the final inning, got credit
for a victory.
Now he professes a decision to
minimize his ability as a great
pitcher so as to wean his fellow
Cardinals from too great depend
ence on his arm, in the hope that
they will grab a few base hits for
themselves.
“I’ve been very open and above
board about my pitching.” said
Dean. “I’ve admitted how good I
was and all the Cardinals are think
ing that all we have to have is our
great pitching, and It ain’t so. We
got to score a few runs.”
“Well from now one, or for a while
at least. I’m going to change my
tack, as we nautical men say. I’ll
have a sore arm, or I’m not feeling
good. I’ ’ be lucky to hold the Reds
or anv other club to half a dozen
runs and I’ll tell the Cardinals we’d
better pile up some runs In the
first inning and in every inning or
old Diz won’t have a chance."

The Twelfth Cavalry, on a swing
over the Valley, camped in Santa
Rosa for several days and while in
the city engaged the local boys in a
couple of games of the hard ball
type. The Soldiers took the first
game played Saturday but the local
lads evened the series Sunday. This
means that there probably will be
a nice turnout Sunday when they
play again, this time at Fort Browm.
