lost them an opportunity to get into
first place, as the Yankees lost game
to the White Sox.
Our pills lost several opportunities
to win two games from the Plrates at
the hump yesterday, mainly through
third strikes whizz by, and also by some
poor headwork on the bases.
In the sixth inning of the second
game Lebourveau, first up, singled. but
was caught mapping. A hit and a walk
followed. The result of the inning was
no runs for the Phils. In the first in =
ming Monroe tripled to start the inning,
but never got any further than the hot
corner. While Lebourveau was steal l.
ing second Monroe hugged third like a
leach without making any effort to start
for home. Maranville temporarily fun &.
bled the ball, and had Monroe started
for the plate with the throw to the key
stone sack he would have scored.
Outhit Pirates
In the first game the Phils had ten
hits to nine for the Pirates, but used
faulty judgment on strikes and balls
throughout, especially with men on the
bases. Had it not been for Lee King S
terrific cout in the eighth with Rapp
and Lee on the sacks shutout would
have been the verdict. Lee, who is
hitting left hand pitching savagely
showed one into the left-feld bleachers
for round trip. Eight Phils were left
stranded during the game.
Jimmy Ring and Jess Winters both
hurled mighty fine ball, but Youth

the Giants were being wallopPd by the
Reds. Luque twirled the Cincy lads

The Yanks lost an excellent oppor
tlnity to gain a half game on the In
dians by dropping the second game oI
the series with the White Sox. Going
into the last half of the eighth inning
