The only hit made off him was a bunt by Billy Sullivan, ex-cieveiana catcher, in the sixth Inning. Feller himself fielded the ball, and threw to first baseman Trosky. It was a close play. Umpire Ed Rommel), an old Athletics' pitcher, nimseii max. lng his American league debut, call ed Sullivan safe. The Indians pro tested violently but the umpire has the last word. Feller fanned six men and gave up six walks. As for Dizzy Dean, he scored a 10-4 triumph over Cincinnati with out extending himself. The Cubs gave him a 9-run lead In the second inning, and he coasted until taken out in the seventh for a pinch-hit' ter. Dizzy permitted 8 hits and 2 run In 6 Inning but was masterful In the pinches.
