Cubs aim for top spot after Dodgers sweep
The Chicago Cubs remain in the NL pennant race at the one wild card mark as manager Charley Grimm steers the club with aggressive play. A three game sweep of the Brooklyn Dodgers boosts optimism while a Cubs series with the rejuvenated Phillies could move them closer to first. Strengths and concerns include Hank Hardway s return to form and Bill Nicholson s hitting slump, with Borowy needed to replicate 1945 pitching to reach another World Series. The column also notes touring golf pros lobbying the USGA over schedule timing and the Philadelphia Inquirer Invitational, plus general sports editor opinions on player preferences and attendance trends.

Accidents end life of boxing champion Jack Johnson
Raleigh June 11 Jack Johnson world s first Negro heavyweight champion is dead at 64 after his auto struck a light pole and overturned near Franklinton while en route to New York from Texas. He died in a local hospital from internal injuries and shock. Frei L Scott, a Negro companion, was treated for minor injuries. Johnson s wife Irene Johnson arranged for the body to be sent to Chicago. He won the world title by defeating Tommy Burns in Sydney on December 26 1908 and lost it to Jess Willard in Havana April 16 1915, a point of historical debate.
