New York, June 30.
Gabby Hártnett's Chicago Cubs took another slice today out of the National League baseball lead held by the Cincinnati Reds.
The veteran Charlie Root, usually a relief pitcher, kept eight Cincinnati hits well scattered and took -cfedit for Chícago's 5-1 victory.
The-Cubs got only four hits, but profited from nine walks issued by Johnny Vander Meet and Lloyd Moore. Moore took over the pitching duties in the second inning, when four free passes forced in one Cub run and a hit accounted for another. The Cubs tallied three more in the eighth inning.
Vander Meet bitterly protested the umpire's decision on the fourth walk, and the umpire replied by chasing him from the park.
The other National League games were rained out. 3 In the American League, Buck Newsom pitched the Detroit Tigers to a 3-1 victory over Chicago.
The Tigers tallied two runs in the first inning when Barney McCoskey and Pete Fox singled. Mike Thresh threw wild into the outflied while trying to nail-McCoskey off second. McCoskey scored and then. Luke Appling fumbled Earl- Averill's grounder, enabling Fox to score.

Bob Rolfe clouted a triple in the third inning wita Babe Dahlgren on base, and before the.inning was over the Yanks had chalked up five runs on hits. d The Browns-Midians glime in Cleve-lend was rained out.
