1 Cubs Add Qumber Six to Win Streak; White Sox Narrow Yankee Lead to Five Games Br MILTON RICHMAW tlnitAri Draci C W.U Q Even If they don't do much the rest of the season, the suddenly-awakened Chicago Cubs appear to have saved Manager Bob Scheffing's job for 1958. Things didn't look too brighl lor Scheffing a few weeks ago, what with the Cubs flopping in ana out of the cellar, but today they own a six-game winning flreak their longest in two years and boss-man Bob no longer seems in danger. The Cubs swept a three-game series from the Cardinals by beating them, 4-3, Thursday night behind the combined eight- hit pitching of Moe Drabowsky and Dave Hillman. Begins To Unravel Chicago scored the two decid ing runs off Wilmer Mizell in the top of the seventh with Drabowsky driving in one of the runs and Bobby Adams the otner. Del Ennis homered for the Cardinals. The once - tight National League pennant race began to unravel a bit as a result of the Cubs' victory over the second place Cards. Milwaukee increas ed its league lead to 2V4 games with a 5-3 triumph over Cincin nati and the Giants dropped Brooklyn five game back by U. S. Women Open Defense Of Coveted Tehnis Trophy Pittsburgh IP! A favored United States team, led by agile Althea Gibson, opens defense of its Wightman Cup tennis title Saturday grimly determined that a predominantly teenaged British team will not carry the coveted trophy overseas. Miss Gibson, power-swinging Wimbledon champion regarded as "tops" in women's tennis, gets the 29th running of the In ternational challenge cup series off to a high-pitch start at near by Edge-worth Club in Sewick ley, Pa. Meats Britain's Best The lithe Negro star meets Britain's best pint-sized Shir ley Bloomer in opening sing les play Saturday afternoon in a match of contrasting styles. Miss Gibson reverts to a driving power game while her opponet is an expert at baseline play. Miss Gibson, chosen Thurs day for the No. 1 singles posi tion by U.S. team captain Mrs. Margaret Osborne DuPont, has defeated Miss Bloomer in their four previous meetings. But Al thea has a two-year jinx to beat as well this time. In the 1955 and 1956 series, a British play er defeated the two top-ranking U.S. netters. Rounding out Saturday's open ing card will be a singles match between the second-positioned 'players, Dorothy Head Knode of the United States and Brit ain's 16-year-old whiz kid Chris tine Truman. In the Knode-Truman pairing, the styles will be-reversed with Mrs. Knode undoubtedly count ing on her baseline skill and the rangy Miss Truman trying to overpower her. -A double event pairs Miss Gibson with her Wimbledon runner-up, Darlene Hard, against Miss Bloomer and Sheila Arm strong. After positions and pairings were announced Thursday, non playing British team' captain Mrs. Mary Halford said, "Miss Bloomer is our best. The others are close. I positioned them in the way I felt they've adjusted themselves to the courts here." ALL-STATER ENTERS OREGON Eugene 11?) Vance Yokum, an all-state-halfback from Olym pia.

Jinx for Redlegs Red Schoendienst's two run single in the eighth inning gave the Braves their 11th victory over the Rediegs in 13 meetings this season. Schoendienst came through with his game-winning smash off Raul Sanchez after Cincinnati tied the score at 3-3 in the top half of the frame. The Giants jumped on Sal Maglie for four runs in the first inning and rapped his successor, Don Bessent, for five more in the second as Ruben Gomez scattered seven hits for his 12th triumph. Southpaw Curt Simmons of the Phils was breezing along with a 6-0 lead in the ninth when the Pirates knocked him out with a three-run rally that fea tured Bob Skinner's two-run homer.
