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."
