NINTH WIN OVER BUGS
GIANTS NINTH IN ROW

John McGraw's Giants yesterday
increased their lead to three and a
half games in the National League by
winning the first game of a series OF
three from the Pirates, their nearest
rivals. 1t was the Giants ninth
straight victory and also the ninth
straight over the Buccaneers. New
York has eleven more games to play
and by winning five and losing six of
them would finish the season with a
percentage of .610. The Pirates. to
equal this, must win ten Of fourteen
remaining games.
With Toney holding the Pirates to
two hits, the Giants won. to 0. All
Of the runs were scored in the third

.SH0CKER AND S|SLER
CURB RUSHING YANKS

Urban Shocker and George Sisler
rudely disturbed the Yankees yester-
day in their drive toward the Amer
lean League pennant. The former
one-time Yankee pitcher. held his
former teammates to few hits, while
the Browns slammed Shawkey, Quinn
and Rogers for a 10-to-3 victory.
What most batters dream and hope
to do-hit a home run with the bases
full-was accomplished by Sisler. His
homer was made of Rogers in the
ninth inning. The ball went into the
lower tier of the right field stand at
the Polo Grounds.
The Red Sox drew nearer the first
division by beating the White Sox.
10 to 4. Bush was hit hard. but kept
the blows scattered, while Wilkinson,
pitching for the White Sox, was re-
placed by Hodge after the fifth in
ming. John Collins and Menosky OF
the winners each made three hits and
fielded brilliantly.
The Tigers punched hits OF Moore
in two innings to humble the Ath-
letics, to 8. All of the Detroit
players. except Catcher Bassler. broke
into the hit column. Johnny Walker
led both teams at bat. with three
swats in four trials.

GOSL|N AND R, MILLER
MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION

Although the Nationals fell farther
behind St Louis and third place and
the Red Sox gained on them, they had
some consolation in the good show
ing made by two of their recruits,
Leonardo Goslin and Raphael Miller.
The latter, who is a brother of Bing
and pitches left-handed, made a ia
vorable impression in the one round he
worked after Eric was Withdrawn for
Milan as pinch hitter. He appears
to be far overweight and uses a drag
ging delivery that is not impressive,
but is credited with possessing fine
control, which means he has a good
chance to make good.
Goslin Is a youngster of more width
and heft than height. He had little
to do in the field. but got one of the
four hits off Uhle, a ringing smack
to left, and swings a heavy bat like
a toothpick, in a manner bespeaking
confidence. Goose polled heavy vote
on the frst-impression ballot.
The Indians again today-Mogridge
VS.. Sothoron.
Jameson hit safely after getting a
respite from Picinich. who muffed his
foul pop, but Val made a fine catch
of Wamby's fly. taking the ball away
from Shanks close to the field boxes.
Judge made q sparkling. play in
forcing Gardner at the midway in. the
seventh. It required speed and abil-
ity to handle Johnston's smart rap.
Joe has both.
Sewen worked fast to doubleS up
Bush and Harris in the opener and
covered a lot of ground to snare
Shanks' Texas Lacquer in the fifth:
Wood never could have reached
Rice's drive in the seventh but for
the stiff breeze in his direction. His
catch took the starch out of the Griff-
men.
The Nationals with Bing and Ralph
Miller and the Indians with Joe and
Luke Sewell are the only big league
clubs with brothers on their rosters.
This Uhle, it will be recalled. is the
same guy who put the bee on Nc
Brides men last month, after they
had won eleven consecutive games. ,
