New York, Aug. l.-tP)- Mid sum
mer rains, tickle in casting their
support among pennant ieaguers Of
both major leagues for the last
month, have again freshencd the
Cropping hopes of the New YORK
Giants:
BY forcing inactivity on the part
Of the leading Pittsburg Pirates IN
the National, rain drops which were
generously sprinklcd over baseball
diamonds in many corners OF both
circuits yesterday enabled champion
Few York to once more reduce the
gap between first and second place
to II single game. For while the cor
sairs were idle the Giants rode on
the wings Of home run by George
Kelly to a triumph over Chicago
to 3, Kellys circuit smash sent
three runs scampering over the plate
in the eighth inning.
Five hits proved sufficient for the
Cincinnati Reds to pile up their
seventh straight win at the expense
of the Boston Braves to 3. A wild
pitch by Barnes scored Roush with
the winning run after he had tripl-
ed in the sixth.
Brooklyn rallied behind the speed
ball kind, Duzzy Vance, in the last
two innings of "A game with 81.
Louis and then checked off a counter
squirt by the Cards in their half OF
the ninth to pull out victory .
TO 4. Vance famed the side in the
first inning and collected five more
strikeouts in the later frames.
Only one game was played in the
American league, the Boston Sox
umassing IS hits of karr to beat the
Cleveland Indians 7 to 2. Flagstead
led the attack with four hits in four
times at bat.
Louisville had a five run lead over
The Columbus Senators when their
argument went into the ninth spasm
yesterday. Then Russell, Senator
outfielder, hit home run and things
began to happen. Wilkinson, Colonel
tw.rler had two down, but before he
could nail the third. five markers
crossed the pan. Then in the extra
frame the Senator'S connected for
the winning tally Of to score.
Nine Columbus players figured IN
one double play in the game with
Louisville the bali making ring
around rosey trip before the VIC
Tins were tagged.

Blue team mates, the Saints being

and 81 minutes to stage victory
