STREAK IS ENDED;
CUBS TAKE PAIR

It Just had to be the Dodgers.
It waa In the cards that the dafft
seas boys from Brooklyn the Jinx
outfit that haa hoodooed the dlants
more tlmea than Bill Terry cares to
remember should be the club to
catch up with Carl Hubbell's winning
streak and smash his record-making
run.
But even though the Hub'a 84

history over a two-season stretch, Is
ended, there's no one who can aay

Just after the Dodgers belted him
out In three and one-third lnnlnga
yesterday and went on to an 18-hlt.
10-8 win In the opening game of the
holiday double bill, Hubbell showed
definitely that he ran "take It."
"It had to come," he aald In the
clubhouse after the long walk from
the mound In front of the 60,000
crowd that Jammed the Polo grounds
"It was great while It lasted, but
no one can go on winning forever
I had a lot of luck. It Just ran out
on me." There waa even a chuckle
In hla voice. "Now that the best's
off, maybe I can do a little real
pitching."
The rest of the Memorial Day pro
gram made little difference to the
diamond world. The baseball faith
ful didn't care so much that the
Olants csme back to take the second
game, 6-4, or that the Cleveland In
diana drubbed the Tigers twioe, oi
that the Cubs, winning a double bill
from the Cardinals, clouted Dlsry

For the rest of the program, the

Better than ever, was the consen
sus of a large gathering of mat ad
dicts regarding the lariat spin of
Cowboy Dude Chick following last
night's holiday program at the Med-
ford Armory In which the Junior
heavyweight champion of the world
whirled Joe Smollnskl, the Polish Pa-
look, Into oblivion In 37 minutes
flat.
Chick, returning to the local arena
after several months absence, did Just
what was expected of him. It took
only that one ride In the clouds for
Smollnskl, dirty as they come, to hol
ler uncle. After being revolved at
least 20 times atop the shoulders of
the champ, then slammed hard to
the carpet and Jumped on, the vil
lainous Joe was all through for the
evening. He was utterly unable to
return for more grappling, and thus
ended a pretty neat mat card. j
Cowboy Chick clamped on his de-!
vaetator following sJmost a half hour
of exceedingly rough work on the part
of Smollnskl, as usual, and some
great wrestling on the part of Chick.
himself, also, as per schedule. Smo
llnskl waa wary of the airplane spin
all through the match; when real
danger approached he lit out for the
sanctuary of the ropes. Chick fin
ally got him however, by slamming
him against the ropes and catching
him on his shoulders on the ro
bound. It waa a good match. Several times
the cowboy forgot himself and proved
that he could ladle It out as well as
receive It. He slapped Smollnskl
dizzy more than once after the Pole
had broken out In an extra dirty dis
play. Two newcomers to - the Medford
ring looked like they might turn
Into real crowd pleasers. In the mid
dle event, Alvln Brltt had a tough
time with big Jack Sterlich before
winning via bis arm-breaker In one
fall In the second round. And, In
the opener, Monte La Due, a meanie
from France, roughed Sailor Dick
Trout Into a two-out-of-three fall
defeat.
Sterlich, a clean and tremendously
powerful grappler, literally man
handled Brltt for most of their
match. With amazing strength, he
broke hold after hold of the ex
champ, but finally succumbed to rhe
armbreaker snd a punishing head-
lock In the second round, so pun
ishing, in fact, he waa unable to
answer the third round bell.
Britt refused him an extra five
minutes of rest, so there was noth
:ng for Referee Ray Friable to do but
award Alvln the scramble. However,
Sterlich, an Austrian, proved that be
has plenty of what It takes, and will
undoubtedly be seen again.
Monte LaDue, a Frenchman with
a pointed mustache and a bald head,
lived up to all advance notices. He
was reputed to be a dirt sllnger,
and he turned out to be Just that.
Sailor Dick Trout grabbed the first
tumble In the second round with
some great drop kicks to the button.
LaDue came back to take the second
press in the next frame with a pain
ful leg bresker with leverage gained
from the lower and upper strand of
the ring rope.
So weakened was Trout's leg after
that business that he fell victim to
the same maneuver In the fourth
stanza, and was hardly able to make
the dressing room under his own
power arter it waa all over.
LaDue's chief stock In trade
seemed to be finger-twisting and
choking. He was not so dirty as
Borne gentlemen who have appeared
here, but was underhanded enough
to send the huge crowd Into screams
of rage more than' once.
Promoter Mack LUlard announced
that the Medford boxing commission
had received a challenge from the
Black Dragon, now appearing In
Spokane, to wrestle any heavyweight
the promoter could procure. He will
probably appear in the local arena ,
In the near future. i

AUTO SPEED TEST
Hoosier, After Seven Tries,
Lands in Money Takes
Late Lead From Swanson
INDIANAPOLIS, June 1.
Checks totaling more than 830.000
were held today for Wilbur Shaw, a
dapper young Hoosier who gambled
on his tires snd gasoline supply and
won a 500-ml!e Indianapolis motor
speedway race after seven attempts.
Shaw, along with other drivers In
yesterday's race the fastest and the
hottest In history will attend the
annual dinner for pilots tonight to
get the money he and they won.
For Shaw there will be a 830,000
cheek for winning the race. He will
get others, amounting to 85,000 for
lap prize money, and some awarded
by automobile accessory and gasoline
companies.
The crowd yesterday totaled 170.000
Shaw, a native of Indianapolis,
roared to victory In a car he design
ed, built and owns, shortly before 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon, with
Ralph Hepburn, the Los Angeles vet
eran, only two seconds behind him.
Hepburn came Just that close to put
ting an end to the old speedway Idea
that a car never wins two races. Ha
was driving the same job that Louis
Meyer drove to victory last yesr.
The speed of 118.580 miles an hour
waa the fastest ever mad In a 600
mlles rsce. The first four finishers
all broke the previous speed record
of 109.069 miles an hour set last yesr
by Meyer.
At 409 miles Shsw seized the lesd
from Bob Swsnson of Los Angeles
who had been driving for Hepburn.
Ralph got back In his own car and
took out after the fast-flying Indian
apolis boy.
At that time he was more thsn
two and a half laps back but he knew
he was through with pit stops. With
Shaw It waa a question of whether
the gas supply and tires would last-
Gradually Hepburn pulled up. When
Shaw went Into hla next to last lap
he wss 38 seconds ahead of Hepburn
At the start of the lsst Isp he was
only 14 seconds out In front and
at the finish he was slightly mora
than 3 seconds to the good.
Ted Horn of Los Angeles who won
oeeond last year, was the third place
winner. Meyer wound up In fourth
place after a masterful bit of driv
ing In the latter stages of the raoe.
