Defeat Reds Despite Luque Pirates Win Two From Robins and Cards Trim PhiIs-Athletics Break Even - Yankees Take Two Games - Rommel Wins Fist Victory.
Rx tho Associated Press.

By tho Associated Press.
 New York, Sept. l7--Although the National league pennant was further beyond the reach of the New York Giants today as the result of dou- ble victory by the Pirates over Brooklyn, McGraws men have made their hold on second place reason- ably secure by crushing the hopes of the Cincinnati Reds.
 By defeating Adolfo Luque, the Cuban pitching star, the champions yesterday put their western rlVals for the running-up berth five games behind. A double by Irish Meusel in the third inning, scoring two men, gave the Giants all the runs they needed to win. Art Nehf limited the Reds to one run. They got nine hits, but Nehf had good support.
 Other eastern teams in the Ma tional didn't fare so well. While Brooklyn was dropping it's double header to the Pirates, 5-3 and 6-2, increasing the lead of the Corsairs to six and one-half games over New York, the Cards jumped into fourth place by trouncing the Philies, to 3. Steady pitching by Oldham and Meadows sent the Robins back into the second division. Hornsby made i. his 37th homer.
 The leading Senators in the Amer ican, idle yesterday, held their ad- vantage of eight games over the sec- ord-paee Athletics, who had an even break with the White SoX. Eddie Rommell hurled Philadelphia to victory in the first, 4 to l, posting his Fist triumph of the season. but three pitchers failed to stop Chicago in the second, 6 to 2.
 The rejuvenated Yankees reopen ed their fight with Cleveland for sixth place with brace of victories, 8 and 0 and 4 to 3. Shocker blank ed the. Indians with eight scattered hits in the first game, but Pennock was carried to 10 innings in the sec ond in spite of the fact that he al lowed but five bingles.
 The Braves moved up to within three games and half of fifth place in the National by sharing twir hill with the Cubs. A salvo of T. hits clnched the final game by s tt for inc Hub after it had beer hlnnked by the veteran Alexander fl the opener, to o.

In Opinion of Some Play CTS, Certain Element Should Be Curbed-Both Cobb and Ruth Have De-
 tended Themselves - Fournier Case Is Latest.

New York, Sept. 17 tP-Haye the demonstrative tendencies of the American baseball fan, long consid- cred an inherent part and parcel of the national game, gone bit be- yond bounds?
 Pro and con, a good deal may be said on the subject as result of the startling statement this week by Jacques ITournier, veteran first base man of the Brooklyn Nationals. that he intends to quit the club at the end of this season because of the abuse he charged has been mjustly heaped upon him by home c"owds. Fournier's action is without pre- cedcnt in Major League history which. from its beginning, has had | its vocal accompaniment from the spectator.
 In his time it has come to be ton- sidered the rightfull prerogative of the fan-aptIy or not a contractor of fanatic-to express his sentiments from the stands forcefully and plan- Iy. The cheers, the ''razz," tic lucky seventh" stretch and p0 bottles all have become establishe' adiuncts of the national pastime, de sirable or not, as the viewpoint may be.
 In the opinion of not few base ball men, however, there is need fol curbing certain clements in baseball crowds which made a practice o riding players or attacking then with unwontcd Ngor. Some efforts in fact, already have been mad along these lines by club owners.
 F'ournier's Complaint
 It is against such elments tha Fournier complains.
 "I have been 16 years in baseball, he is quoted as saying, and am ac customed to the iickleness of crowd but the roasting l have received il lBrooklyn has been so savage that cannot play in a Brooklyn uniform and retain my self-respeCt. XX have been denounced in the foules of language by the class of fans wh have no respect for the WomeI around them or for themselves an who think that by paying the pric of admission they have acquired tn fright to throw an unlimited amour Of verbal filth upon a professions ball player"
 Fournicr's case recalls many an other where stars have been single out as targets for derision, but tn ieers, almost invariably, have com from hostile crowds, not the fans a home. Such outbursts are taken D most players as matter of course They have little effect on the per former but it is unusual for hom crowds 10 ride" it's own stars.
 Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, the out standing two stars of modern day have had their jeers as well a cheers. Both stirred at times b taunts, have invaded the stands { reach their tormenters. Cobb, the days when Detroit and the ol Athletics were keen rivals, neede police protection on several visits | Philadelphia. Ruth, like Fournie has felt even the sting of criticisl at home.

EAST ONCE MORE
 ID HAVE SERIES
Western Teams Out Of It During
 Recent Years

With an eastern club certain to win the American league gontalon thls season, that section will add another winner 10 it's already long list.
 Fact is, the Atlantic seaboard teams have had quite monopoly on the honors in the Ban Johnson circuit.
 Since Detroit came through with three successive triumphs back in 1907-0S-09, only three times have clubs from the western sector grabbed the bunting. The Whit Sox did it in 1917 and 1919 and the Cleveland Indians in 1920.
 On all the other occasions, the flag has gone to a club representing the east, or 12 out of Is seasons. Over one stretch the eastern units chalked mp seve1 straight triumphs the Athletics starting in 1910, re- beating in 1911, 1918 and 1914 and the Red Sox coming through in 1912, 1915 and 1916. On top Of this the Red Sox won again in 1918, the Yankees in 1921, 1922 and 1923 and the Senators last year,
 Two Are Tied During the past 15 seasons, the Athletics and Red Sox have each won four pennants, leading in this respect. The Yanks have three 10 their credit, the White Sox two and Cleveland and Washington one apiece.
 Only two clubs, Detroit and St. Louis, have failed 10 carry off the honors in that stretch, the Browns never yet having finished first in American league history.
 The Yankees hold the best mark for consecutive trumphs with three while the Athletics hung un a notablo record by winning four titles in five seasons.
 An eastern victory this year will make it five in a row for that sec. ton. still two shy of the topnotcf mark.
 The situation in the Nationa league is similar 10 that in the American.
 For instance, since the Pirates coppcd the flag in 1909, the castcr clubs have grabbed every pennan but three. In other words. the, have 12 winners 10 their credit ou of 1 ., the same as the American.
 Western victories were won il 1910, 1918 and 1919 with the Cub landing tho first two times and tn Reds the other.
 From 1911 to 1917 inclusive, tn eastern teams had things all thei own way, checking in with seve straight successes, the same as tn clubs from the cast did in the John sonian wheel from 1910 throug 1916.
 During tho last Is campaigns. th Giants have won eight flags, lead ing them all with the Cubs an Dodgers tied for second with tv each The Braves, Phillics and Red all have one 10 their credit.
 Tho Giants likewise hold the cor sccutivc triumph mark with four l row. winning in 1921, 1922, 192 and 1924.
 Over the stretch mentioned Pitt, , hurgh and the Cardinals are th only National teams failing to wi . and the Cards, like their sister clul the Browns, have yet 10 show tl1 s way in the circuit as at preser organized.
