NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Rain today
caused the postponement of the open
ing of the all-important series between
the Pittsburgh Pirates and New York
Giants, who were to have played a
double-header. Two games will be play
ed tomorrow.
There will be another double-header
Sunday and n single game Monday.
All other eastern games also have
been rained out.
For four years the Pirates have
come to town with opportunity in
their grasp, only to retire in disorder
after rout at the hands of the New
York Giants, champions of the Ma
tional for four straight seasons.
The crucial National League series
opening in New York has a parallel
in Chicago in the meeting between
the second and third place teams,
Philadelphia and Chicago, fighting to
wrest leadership from the champion
Washington Senators.
SOX CREEP UP.
A week ago, the Chicago White
Sox were IL games behind the Phila-
delphia and Washington teams, but
the slump of the Athletics at st. Louis
and five Chicago victories in the last
six games have brought the Sox with
in eight games and raised the hopes
of White Sox fans to high pitch.
Washington is on top by one game
G.. L. sr1 Vnlu NJ
Cleveland fought them for twelve in
nings yesterday before admitting de-
feat.
The st. Louis Browns humbled the
Athletics for three games in row and
a similar run of luck by the White
Sox would bring them within striking
distance of the leadership.
A thinning mound duel, won by
Washington, l to 0, carried the
worlds champions back into the
American League leadership by full
game yesterday. as the Mackmen suf-
fered their third straight defeat from
the Browns.'7 to 6. The reverse drop
ped Philadelphia from the peak for the
first time in signify more than a
month. A home-run by Rice and a
triple by Sislcr in the ninth did it.
The Senators hit Miller rather free
" but were extended three extra
frames by Cleveland before they could
insert finishing blow. A wild throw
by Hodapp and singles by Rice and
Goslin put the game across for. the
champions. Zachary Quit after the
eighth for pinch hitter and Mar
berry then hurled for the champions.
In spite of the fact that they lost
a hard-fought game TO the Cubs yes
terday. 5-3, while the Pirates were
regaining their three-game advantage
as the result Of n fluke home-run by
Cuyler. . TO /, the New York Giants
today are loaded with trouble for the
National League leaders. With their
pitchers in top form. the four-time
league champions were calling upon
their fighting pluck for a Garrison
finish.
LUCKY BOUNCES. y
Lucky hops decided both games in
which the leading National contenders
figured. In the case of the Giants,
an inoffensive looking roller from the
bat of Heathcote and fly by jain
which fell for double aided in the
downfall Of the champions. while
Cuyler's homer against Brooklyn was
mere single which took an unex-
pectcd hop over Browns head in the
outfield and rolled to the fence.
Cincinnati bombarded the Phillies
with fifteen hits to via three games
out Of four. The score was S TO 4.
