Excitement in Big Show Is Now to Be Found in National League Johnny McCarthy's Single
Drive^in^il lnntag^My In Giant-Cardinal Battle
Five Home Runs Were Belted in "Vaudeville" Game And 13 Runs Scored in One Inning; No Broadway Show Has Had a More Dramatic Finish, With Ter-rymen Loading Bases in Both Ninth and Tenth
By JUDSON BAILEY
In the day8 when the New York Yankees, were burning up everything in baseball, National League fans used to defend their interests by saying they got more for their money than the American League customers.
Well, the Yanks are different, and the American League race is different, but the National League fans still get more excitement.
In New York, for instance, the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals came up with a 10-inning 10-9 bit of vaudeville last night just 24 hours after the Dodgers and Chicago Cubs put on a 13-inning skit across the river in Brooklyn.
There were five home runs in the game and 18 runs scored in one inning, the seventh, after which the whole issue still had to j>e decided because the score was tied at nine all.
WULThey IipL-BasebalTs-Balanc^afLEower? The Reds, Dodgers and Giants, In a tight scramble for the Na
tional League pennant, added reinforcements in mid-June, hoping to gain an edge on their rivals. The Dodgers got .hard-hitting outfielder Joe Medwick (lower left) and Pitcher Curt Davis from the Cardinals. Later Medwick was beaned, but he is expected to retuni to the lineup soon.
His First Hit of Year <•>-No Broadway show has had a
more dramatic climax. The Giants loaded tha bases In the ninth and failed to score. They dld.lt again in the 10th. This time pinch-Hitter Johnny McCarthy drove home the winning run with a single—his first hit of the year!
Even the doubleheader between the last-place Phillies and the plodding Pittsburgh Pirates was packed with action. Cy Blanton and Joe Bowman matched seven-hit pitching in the first game, and Johnny Rlzzo, a former Pirate, brought the Phils a 4-2 victory by homering with one on In the eighth. Then, In the second game, the
Pirates punched out five runs in the second inning and won, 11-6, with a 14-hit attack that included two home runs by Spud Davis, a former Phil. Vlnce DIMaggio, for whom Pittsburgh gave up Rlzzo, hit one In each game.
The Yankees managed to stop

Bean Ball Dep't The Sporting News and others are
waging a campaign to stop beaning by having players* wear helmets while batting . . . Strangely enough, the-opposition-group, leaders are the Messrs.. Hank Leiber, Joe Medwick and Pee Wee Reese . .-. They
fwahl no -part'of "the rhead guard idea. | V>-_".-, i.
o__ ._ ___r the Hoover speech . . . George Keo-therr-lateatr4osrt»g-8treak—at-fouf4gan, Notre Dame's smart basketball games by beating the Cleveland Indians, 3-1, with revitalized performances by Charley (Red) Ruffing and Joe DIMaggio.
Ruffing kept six hits scattered well and never was behind. The Yanks got only six hits, too, but DIMaggio corralled two of them. He singled two runs home in the second— and-other—across-In the ninth after Frank Crosetti doubled.
This was enough to lift the world champions back into the American League's first division as the Philadelphia Athletics subdued the S t Louis Browns, 94. Sam Chapman led the assault by the A's with a perfect day at the plate, five hits including a grand slam homer. Dick Slebert also bad a perfect batting day.
This victory, In turn, put Philadelphia again In seventh place and let the Washington Senators slide back to the cellar under the burden of a 7-6 defeat by the Chicago White Sox. The two teams peppered 27 lilts, off' five pitchers, and the lead constantly shifted with one and two-run innings until the Sox finally pushed across the tying and winning tallies In the ninth.
The Boston Red Sox fought back to a 3-1 triumph over the Detroit Tigers that gave the Red Sox the series and moved them within half a game of the second-place Tigers.
Rookie John Gorsica baffled the Bostons on three hits for eight innings, but was bolted out in the midst of a three-run rally started In the ninth by Lou Finney, who
. had two doubles and a' single for his afternoon's work.
NEW YORK, June 27.—UP)—The Yanks didn't win a series In the West Ain'tMt awful? . . . Max Baer: "If Tony Galento pulls any rough stuff, I'll walk out In the mlddie of the fight" Well, we wouldn't be surprised . . . Can't confirm 'em, but. the up-state air is filled with rumors the N. B. A, will call it quits at the next convention ,-. . Larry MacPhall is feuding with the radio again because the Dodger game was cut off Tuesday night in favor of a phonograph .record of
Morris Arnovlch, obtained from the Phils for John Rlzzo, may solve the Beds' left field problem and add strength to their attack.

Italy Seeking to Join Hitler Attack on Britain
troops may join German forces in an attack on the British Isles, an authoritative source said today. He said Italian planes and warships also are believed likely to take part In the operation.
This source said that Italy, since she Is determlned-toflghtthe-war against Britain through to victory with every means at her disposal, feels the employment of Italian forces In a direct attack on Great Britain "is not likely to be excluded."
While the Mediterranean is believed to be Italy's principal field, Fascists said there would be a symbolic interest In having forces of the modern Roman empire emulate Caesar's legions in setting foot UJK on the British Isles.

also proved a bit confusing. In addition, questions began to arise regarding business if and when the conflict ends. Hopes the Republican convention would nominate a "conservative" candidate were regarded as the main prop for speculative sentiment.
Bonds edged forward, along with commodities. "Free" sterling and the Canadian dollar pushed up briskly, seemingly buoyed by peace rumors.
Interest was expressed in comments from trade sources that business expansion at present Is somewhat less rapid than recently, Heavier taxes, for one thing, it was said, give the outlook a slightly cloudier-tinge- than visualised -by those who had been counting on some kind of war inflation. The belief was general, though, that rearmament spending would prevent any severe letdown.
Utilities, brokers said, still had the benefit of "wishful thinking" In the political arena, as well as brightening prospects for power
defense spending. On the side of the rails were es
