Phils Win, 5 After Losing SchelPs Single Decides Nightcap; Pollet Tosses Six-Hitter in Opener CHICAGO, July 23 (AP) The Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies divided a doubleheader today with the Cubs winning the opener, 5-2, and the Phils coming back to take the nightcap, 5-3, when Danny Schell singled their vital series. If the Tribe should lose the other tvo games, they still will leave town Sunday night with a percentage point edge after this triumph, scored before paid, the largest turnout of the season in either league.

It was the eighth straight game in which Lopat had failed to finish and it marked the Yankees first loss at night in 14 games. Smith Drives In Five Smith, Cleveland's hitting star, drove in five runs altogether, adding two more in the ninth with a bases loaded single. Smith's homer, well into the lower left field stands with George Strickland and Early H'ynn on base climaxed a four-run inning off Lopat, the Yanks' crafty "junkman." Lopat, mixing his soft stuff with an occasional fast ball, rode along on a 2-0 lead until Doby hit his 18th homer into the right field seats in the sixth. The Yanks had reached VVynn for a pair in the fourth on Irv Noren's third straight hit, a single with the bases loaded. Lopat began to weaken in the seventh.

Three successive singles by Vic Wertz, Dave Philley and Strickland sent home pinch runner Bill Glynn with the tying run. For a few moments, Lopat steadied. Jim Hegan, up to sacrifice, popped a foul bunt to Andy Carey. Wynn bounced to Phil Rizzuto behind third and Carey got back in time to force Philley. Indians Wrap It Up Then came Smith's blast on Lopat's first pitch and the game was wrapped in a tidy package, 13th.

triumph of the season. Doby's second homer, a high fly into the lower right field seats, put the frost ing on the cake as he led off the eighth. Cleveld. AB. H.

Pirates will have to win approximately one of every next three games to hit the 50 mark in victories. Kansas City is going to make a strong bid for a major league franchise. Warren Spahn rates Willie Mays a better outfielder than he is a hitter but he thinks the "Hey Say" kid will become one of the best with the willow with more experience. BOXING Boxing writers who will cover the Bobo Olson and Rocky Castellani training camps some 130 miles from San Francisco will be transported back and forth by seaplanes. Olson's layout is at Clear Lake Lodge.

The greatest ballyhoo artist of them all, Doc Kearns, is helping beat the drums for this middleweight title bout. When and if boxing promoters want to put on a show at The Gardens here they will find the rent up a couple of hundred dollars because of rising costs.

Wellsville, Mickey Walker is still living; former heavyweight champs still alive are Willard, Dempsey, Tunney, Schmcling, Sharkey, Camera, Baer, Braddock, Louis, Charles and Walcott.

Hymie Schwartz, the fight manager, says there are plenty of fine-looking prospects here. All they need is work. Tonight's TV fights will again feature amateur battlers. The note here the other day about a fighter named Boardwalk Billy Smith from Atlantic City reminded Izzy Mor-dell of an old-time battler who answered to the handle of "Rockin' Chair Herman!" HORSE RACING John Galbreath's Darby Dan stable put over two consecutive winners in the last two races at Monmouth last Thursday in Clear Dawn ($10) and Gay Street Galbreath is high on one of his two year olds, Errasina.
