 ] Although both the Reds and the Dodgers who yesterday were tied for | second place in the race were beaten 1 in their scheduled games, Cincinnati today is second in the pennant chase by a. few points. That is about all the consolation Moran got out of yester- days contest at the Polo Groundr.
 Chase reminded the onlookers at the Polo Grounds yesterday that batting Is not altogether a. lost art with him when, in the fourth inning. his sharp single sent Pep Young home. Chase also contributd d neat sacrifice in the third frame, putting Young on sec ond.
 Larry Doyle continues toA play 1 like a champion without the slightest indication of a let down. He is applauded every move he makes.
 The vociferous disciples of chance who sit back of third bsse and con- eistently abuse the players of the team they bet against, whether the Giants or opponents---most frequently the Giants---have begun to get on the nerves of the people who go to the, Polo Grounds to see baseball. It is reported that the Giant management will take drtstic action against these gentry. Their uncalled for abuse of the umpires and Giants both yester- day and the previous day brought forth heaps of comment from the loyal fans who pay to see . ball game and not rowdyism.
 The Phillies took it out on the Car dinals yesterday for a slight suffered at the hands of the Dodgers recently. When the Philltes were at Ebbet5i Field on May they got away to seven run lead on the Dodgers, only to have Brooklyn score six runs in the fifth and later win out. With the Cardinals leading, to 2 in the ninth inning yesterday the Clan Coombs cIouted up and rained six runs across the platter, winning the game, to z. That's the second time this season the Ph1llies have baggd sextet of runs in one frame. They pushed a
  the first inning of the aroremen- toned game with the Dodgers on May 5.
 l. Irish NIeusel shaded Rodgers Hornsby in a slugging duS yes- terday. The Cardinal shortston got three hits, including a home,
 in four times up and the Philadel-
 phia output rapped out four hits. one of them a four base blow, in
 five times up. Boston outhit Pittsburgh. ? to 1 yes terday, but lost out, to 2 What'e the matter with the Braves?
 It took Jupiter Pluvius to stop the Yankees from winning yesterday.
 Mitchell will use either Lefty Tyler or Claude Hendrix against the Dodg- CTS today. Both are mighty effective against Brooklyn. Tyler has, one one- s hit game and one two-hit games to N his credit against the Dodgers. Since Hendrix has been with the CuhU Brooklyn has found him one of the hardest pitchers in the. league to beat.
 Babe Ruth is at it again. With tho bases full at St. Louis yeStercay Babo stepped to the plate and swept them clean with a drive that sailed out of the park and was heading for Osh- z loosh and way points when last seen- Apparently the temperamental fellow j is over his attack of the sulks.
