a slashing attack. the Giants twice
overran the Cubs. At the close of
hoStilities McGraw's men were only
three games behind the leading
Dodgers and had broken the third
place tie with the Pirates, wet
grounds having kept these clubs out
of action. The Reds played like real
world champions and chung to their
bracket the Braves repeated against
the Cards and moved into sixth place,
BUSTING their foes.
The Giants drove Alexander and
Carter to the showers in the opening
encounter, winning to ?. The great
Alex lasted only four innings.

sessions gave the winners their runs

ond game. Each of these Giants
made three timely blows.
Six Philly errors helped the Reds
toward an S-to-2 win, but the cham
pions hit well enough to have won
despite this assistance. Ring puzzled
the Cravath batSmen.
After checking the Braves when they
had three on and none out in the sixth,
Bill Doak went skysward in the seventh

the lateness of the season. Despite
its loss to the Macks yesterday while
the Yanks and White Sox scored wins.
the tribe holds three and one half
game advantage over it's nearest COM
petitor, New York. The Gothamites
are the ones most likely to lose
ground in the race. as the White SoX,
in third place, are moving along at a
faster clip than the Yanks, who lead
them by onIy half a game. The
Browns strengthened their hold on
a first-division berth, but they are far
behind the three real flag contenders.
