PIRATES MAINTAIN PACE

Over Winning Giants-Phils
and Dodgers Score.

Pirates. Giants, Dodgers and Phil
lies scored yesterday in the National
League. Tho first-named maintained
their slightly more than a game lead
over the second-place Giants, by van
gushing the Braves. The New
Workers evened their six-game series
with the Reds IN give-and-take
battle. The circuit-champion Dodgers
staged a flve-run rally in the ninth
to record their first win Of the sea-
son in st. Louis, while the Phils

lead and went on to beat the Reds.

six innings for the New Yorkers,
but was credited with being the win
ming pitcher.
The Dodgers broke their fourth
place tie with the Cards when they
beat that team, 8 to Z. Four hits
and a base on balls off Haines and
a wild pitch by Sherdel, all made
after two were out in the ninth,
gave the Dodgers five tallies.

Noted of the Nationals

Although forenoon weather condi-
tions were unpropitious, 1t is assured
the final contest with the Tigers this
afternoon will be played If it is not
actually raining at game time.
The Bengals are not following the
customs of the fast set. When Miller
Huggins was hurt a couple Of weeks
ago In the west the Yankees imme-
diately launched on consecutive
winning streak. and the same applies
to the Nationals, who have achieved
victory daily since Mcbride was in
jured. but In the absence yesterday
Of Cobb. who went to his home in
his week-old son. the Jungaleers alb
sorbed another setback.
Miller develops a lot Of speed, once
he gets under way. but his bulk pre-
cludes quick starts and stops This
was apparent in the second inning
yesterday, when he overran the mid
way cushion on Harris rap to Blue.
If Bing had slid into the bag the
Nationals would have garnered two
runs instead of one. for Shanks fol-
lowed with a three-bagger.
The scoring rules. which provide for
a batsman being credited with a sac
rifice fly only when it enables a run
ner to score, should be revised. A
hitter able to knock ball far enough
to advance a mate, as did Miller in
the third round. yesterday, should not
be penalized by being charged with a
time at bat.
Judge is playing with one leg in
such bad condition. due to pulled
tendons. that his work is seriously
handicapped. This undoubtedly ac-
counted for his failure to corral Bass
ler's vicious crack in the seventh in :
ming, which, by the way, was only the
third error charged against the first
sacker this season.

James G. O'Brien, attorney for "Chick"

games, made the final defense pleas this
morning. Following them. John Tyrrell

were ready to conclude their summari-

Defense Has Little Time.
The defense today had but little of its
allotted ten hours for argument left. but
the state has nearly five hours remain
ing. indicating that the plea would be
finished this afternoon.
1t was considered possible that Judge
Friend might hold another night ses-
sion in order to instruct the jury, but
attorneys for both sides are said to be
opposed to this.
The defense yesterday used much Of
its time in maintaining that the base
ball scandal investigation and trial were
the outcome Of the efforts of Ban john
son, president of the American League.
to injure Charles A. Comiskey. owner
of the White Sox club.
Thomas Nash, A Morgan Frumberg
of ST. Louis and Mr.. o'Brien took turns
in picturing johnson as czar who
controlled the investigation from start
to finish and as a man who testified
in the dark before secret grand jury IN
order to ruin Comiskey, but who was
afraid to come out in the open and
testify at the trial"

lieve Rothstein was left out of the
case at Ban Johnson's instigation. be-
cause Johnson wanted only to get
Comiskey by wreckfng the White Sox
team and did not want to involve
Rothstein.
Ban johnson controlled this case
and if Rothstein got out it was be-
cause one man was willing to let him
out" said Nash.
johnson, with more power in base
ball than the Russian car had over
his subjects, sneaked to the grand
jury room and gave mis- testimony in
the dark, which he thought would
ruin the players and Comiskey, but he
was not man enough to come here in

Were 1t not for the fact that the
Giants have shown uncanny ability
to thrash the Pirates on the historic
turf of Forbes Field, the Pittsburghs
might still be jogging along with
more comfort than they have for the
last fortnight
On June 80 the Pirates had a per-
centage of .676. That's usually
enough to stamp any team as one Of
championship value. On July Is the
.676 had dropped to .667, but that
wasn't much. On July 81 Pittsburgh
was able to turn up only .632. and
that's a>.scandalous falling off for a
team which has shown ability to rate
higher. From June 80 to July 81 the
Pirates lost A points.
Giants Gain. Then Drop.
On June 80 the Giants had only .6o6
their heads got above water. On
July Is they had raised themselves to
.633. In the same fifteen days the
Pittsburghs had lost IL points, SO
New York's net gain was 3S points
for the first half of the month.
On July 81 the Giants had dropped
back to .61s. The Giants gained 13
points. while Pittsburgh lost .35.
which makes the showing for Pitts
burgh even worse, because the New
York club. although unable to hold
Its own pace, was actually gaining.
In other words. the Giants fell off.
but Pittsburgh fell much harder.
If Pittsburgh has another bad
month. similar to that of July, by the
end of August the Pirates will not
only be likely to have lost the lead
in the race, but they may be playing
second fiddle to Boston.
Boston gained exactly IS points in
the month Of July. against 13 for
New York. and a loss of A for
Pittsburgh. If Boston can gain 35
points in August the team will have a
percentage of well over 800.
Old managers say there is too
much silence in the infield of the
Yankees to win a championship.
