Philhes took two from the Pirates, so that

Cubs and two fun games behind the
Phillies.
"Rube" Marauard tried 10 extend his win
ming streak over the forms Of the PROSTATE
Reds but struck a snag. After winning six
straight the brilliant southpav was about

third defeat for the season it can he par

important junctures, but was found for a
total Of eleven hits, so that perfect fielding
could only have held down the score
slightly. While the Giants acted wantoniy

the loud mutterings Of disapproval fell even

he went in TO bat for Marquard in the
eighth frame he was forcibly admonished
