Phillies and Dodgers Both Climb-Pirates and
Giants Split Even and Cubs Drop Fourth
Straight to Champion Braves

Bancroft's bounding home run wal
lop. with two runners on, and the
general bombardment OF the Cardinal
Fingers by those desperate Dodgers,
allowed Brooklyn and Philadelphia to
climb q bit in the red hot National
League scramble yesterday. The Pi-
rates split even with the Giants and
the Cubbs dropped their fourth
straight TO the worlds champion Bos-
ton Braves. Therefore, the Phillies
and Dodgers did something worth
while.
Tommy Griffith came in fast for
Bancroft's drive at Cincinnati. but the
ball was going with great speed and
when 1t bounced. 1t carried right over
his head and rolled to the wall. That
put Moran's Phillies out in front and
they hammered Schneider from the
slab in the next session, cinching the
game. 6 to 2.
The Dodgers took great delight in
polling singles. doubles, and even a
triple and a homer off the Cardinals
pitchers. sailee and Perdue were
forced to quit and Red" Ames took
lacing while he performed. Appleton
wasn't really good. but he was good

In brief. Collector Hays's sugges-

those who have incomes OF $4,000 or

Extraordinary Skid.

One Of the most remarkable es-
capes from sudden death which re-
lieves the grim record of fatal acct
dents in automobile racing, occurred
at Brooklands, the famous English
speed course, recently. When ap.
preaching a turn at an estimated
speed of ll9 miles an hour, a tire
exploded and the car skidded side
wise. For so yards the car tore up
the track broadside on, and then in
quick succession turned two backward
loops. BY this time the banking of
the track at the curve was before the
occupants Of the car. and up this slope
the car ran backward to the very
edge. The driver. who had declutched
when the car started skidding, sudden
ly accelerated the engine, the clutch
going in with a bang. Strips from the
burst tire had become entangled In
the chain. locking the right-hand
wheel. The sudden acceleration tore
these strips away. and down the en-
bankment the car plunged, turning an
other loop. this time head-on. and
dashed of the track, bringing up safe
ly in plowed ground near by.
