Chicago Threat Fades as Cubs Go Down Before Dodgers

Giants Draw Away by Trouncing Cardinals With Bartell Clouting Two Home Runs

New York, June 18. 'HE Chicago Cubs ceased to be an immediate menace to the New York Giants today by losing to the Brooklyn Dodgers while the Terrymen were again thumping the St. Louis Cardinals.

But the Cubs did not succumb to the Daffiness Boys without struggle. On the short end of a 1-0 score going into the ninth, the Bruins shoved one run across the plate to knot the count. The tie was short-lived, however, for Babe, Phelps came through in the Dodgers' half of the inning to deposit the ball over the fence for a home run that clinched the game, 2-1.
