of the series in rather easy fashion.

successive singles gave the white h3Sed
combination their only tally OF the daS.
It was one of the best games, MAYOR

livery until the last frame, dying IN

the innings. Only two men were
frnnked to first during the contest by
Naylor. which proves how excellent MS
control was.

Cards were idle. This morning finds
the Giants hanging on to the top rung
by two points.
Babe" Ruth with his twentieth
home run. q double and single, was
the big gun in the Yank attack that
humbled Detroit. Herman Pillette. the
youthful star of the Tiger staff who
twice humbled the Yanks at the Pole
Grounds recently. proved easy yester-
few innings. The Tigers could do little
with the veteran Joe Bush.
The Browns punched out enough hits
to make a walkaway of the game with
Washington.
Osborne not only hurled great bal
but he made the hit that scored two
runs and enabled the Cubs to battle
extra innings with the Giants. In the
tenth deluge of Chicago hits resulted
in eight runs, completely destroying the
day for n big Gotham crowd.
