teams in the major leagues are
holding their own against western
Cubs in the first intersectional
battles of the campaign, with
Washington and Philadelphia re-
gaining their winning form Of
1926 in the American TO offset an
unexpected relapse of the Giants
in the National.
The White Sox, victims of a
Philadelphia winning streak at 6
to 2, relinquished third place to
the champion Senators yesterday.
The Robins clawed by the Cubs
on Monday, flew back at them yes
terday, to protect their lead with a
9 to 2 triumph. Burleigh Grimes
scattered six Chicago hits over the
n.ne frames and was never in
danger after the third, when
punched safeties gathered three
runs as Robin nest egg of ample
size to insure victory.
The climbing Pirates reached
the first division with a loud ex-
plosiOn of base blows, touching
three Philadelphia pitchers for Is
hits to win IL to l. The result gave.
tn Pirates a fourth place tie with
the Giants, who dropped another
10 the Cardinals, 6 to 5. The ver-
Diet marked Flint Rheims fifth
victory in six starts on the mound.
Chicago's defeat by Brooklyn
proved stepping stone for the
Reds, who moved up to second
place behind good pitching by
AdOlfe Luque. The Cuban gave
the Braves nine scattered hits to,
win Z to 4.
In the sale of his veteran south
paw, Arthur Nehf, to the Cincin-
natl Reds, Manager John McGraw
apparently has prepared to make
good his boast that a successful
major league team can get along
without a portside. Nehf had not
received the privilege of starting
a game this season for the Giants.
He joined the Giants in 1919 after
pitching four seasons for the Rps-
ton Braves. His highest percent
age was in 1924 with ia victories
and four defeats.

ATHLETIC EVENTS
AT HIGH SCHOOL

Students Of both freshmen and
sophomore classes eagerly watch
ed the lineup Of baseball men of
their respective classes fall and
rally before that of the opposing
team yesterday afternoon at A
o'clock on the U. S. army barrack
diamond.
Until the middle and last of the
fifth inning, Capt. Joe Cleare, of
the freshman team, had held his
men tightly together, and Capt.
Cato, Of the sophomores, saw an
overwhelming score, something
like 1921, piling up.
Realizing what il meant for
rats" to whip a higher class, the
sophomore rooters hurled yells Of
both encouragement and condem-
nation al their hewildered men.
Here several changes were made
IN the lineup, and Fred Carbonell
succeeded Ellis England as pitcher
for the sophomores. Several home
runs came for the sophomores.
Earl Yates. Leland Curry and
Gerald Hernandez were lighting
exceptionally well, still the rats
held the highest end of the score
and kept the sophomores running
themselves ragged until luck
changed and the freshmen fell be-
fore the opposing lineup and re-
alfred their defeat in a 1924
score.
The entire freshmen played a
clean. hard-fought game from the
start. The team is the pride of the
class and the talk of the sopho-
lnores who did not expect half so
much play from such men.
Freshman lineup: Gilbert De-
merritt, John Lowe. Fred Math-
