CAUGHT ON THE FLY

-Four more wins for the Bucks
mean the Yanks must win all of their
seven games to take the flag.
Biuegc made sensational one
hand stop of Sisters grounder in the
first inning and threw out the batter.
Williams narrowly escaped serious
injury when he tried to get to Nc
Neely's triple in the third frame. The
Brown left fielder fell over the metal
drum on which the infield canvas is
reeled and bruised his legs severely.
Judge robbed Davis of a seemingly
sure hit in the fifth when he jumped
to his left, scooped up the pitchers
sizzler and beat the batter to first.
Rjce's hitting streak now has
reached 2S games. He got his bingle
yeste rclay in, the sixth inning. 1t was
d topped ball that neither Robertson
nor Davis could get to in time for a
retiring throw.
In the sixth inning McNeely ran
almost to second base to get Rob-
ertson's looper. He juggled the ball
a moment, but did not drop it.
Judge and BIuege pilfered second.
Judge made his steal in the fifth
after Bluege and Peck had been un-
able to sacrifice. BluegeS steal was
d delayed one made in the second
frame while Davis was holding the
ball.

win their remaining seven games.
Detroit could tie Washington only by
winning all of it's games while the Ma
tionals lost all of theirs.
The National League race is at
tracing interest even from the SEN
sational American struggle as Pitts
burgh, pivotal figure in the present
triangle, meets New York in a three
game series. The Pirates have fought
their way to within one and one
half games of the Giants by taking
two of three from Brooklyn-losing
by a narrow margin yesterday in a
ten-inning fray by a score of to 1.
The Giants were shut out by the
Cubs. to o, in the only other Ma
tional League game.
If the Pirates win all of their re-
naming games they cannot be head
ed by either Brooklyn or New York,
as McKechnie's team has three more
games to play than Brooklyn, which
it trails by one game, and two more
than New York.
By winning two Of thFee from the
Giants and capturing it's five remain
ing contests, Pittsburgh could still
beat the Giants If tho latter won
their three games with Philadelphia
and also would outpoint the Robins
If Brooklyn loses one of its five
games to play.
