 After breathing the restelss air at tbc peak of the Nationa. league for one whole day unmolested, the St' I.ouis Cardinals are again taking the dust of the world champion Pirates.
 Something in their attitude must have oeeved Larry Benton, when they went back to work against the Boston Braves yesterday, for he flipped a paralyzing brand Of base hall in the first game of their dou- blebeader. which removed their temporary crown.
 Only four singles glanced from the Cardinal bats while the warriors nliedhoId Bill Sherdel now and then for enough to squeeze out a 7 10 l victory.
 In the meantime the Pirates were handing Burleigh Grimes, thelr tor- mer spitball nemeis from BrooKlyh' a fine 10 to 1 pasting, the Buccaneer runs came in fives during the fourth and fifth innings. the first group from Burleigh and the second rom Rube Ehrhardt and Lee Williams Ray Kremer registered his four teenth victory of the season for the Pirates and Max Carey, former Buc- ranneer caHain, could do nothing Tn his second appearance in Brooklyn toggery to mar the occasion. The victory admitted the Pirates to hrst place again.
 Although St. Louis managed to nose out a to victory over the Braves in the second half or the twin bill, they could do no better than climb back into second place tie with Cincinnati.
 Reds were running their string or wins to ten by defeating the Giants again. 4 to 3. Misplays by Kelly and Terry made the Giants sixth consecutive loss possible. Jack Scott held the Redmen to six hits, TWO passed balls by Bubbles HargraVe and Horace Ford's error also fgur- ed prominently in two New fork runs.
 The Chicago Cubs LOOK pair ol games 9 to 4 and g to from the tailend Phillies. Charlie Root and Sheriff Blake turned in sparkling performances allowing only six and seven hits respectively, Hack" Will son got behind one in the first game for his nineteenth homer of the sea son while Gabby Hartnett caromed two into the far reaches in the sec ond contest.
 Rain stopped all but one contest in the American league. Rookie Crowder held St. Louis to three hts until the seventh and Washington beat back the Browns, to b. Ihe Senators had an easy time with the offerings of Ernie Meyers of Leland Stanford football fame,

Two forfeits resulted yesterday in the New Britain Boys baseball lea gue because of the failure of the Smith or Willow Brook teams to show up for their scheduled games at Walnut Hill park. Dwight Skin ner, manager of the league, decided that the games could have been started and when Umpire Mike Lynch called the Paradise Park Smith game to order. the Paradise Parks had full team on the field but not one of the Smith team was in attendance. The game was forfeited to the Paradise Park team The same occurred in the Willow Brook k-Burritt game on Diamond No. 2. Burritt had team on the field but only two of the Willow Brook players were at the park. This game was forfeited to the Burritt team.
 Burritts have another game to their credit following the action of the governing board in giving q game playedkbetween Smith and Burritt at Walnut Hill park on August 13 which Smith won by an s to score, to the Burritt team because of the fact that Smith used two players in it's lineup who are accredited members of the Willow Brook team. A written protest on the game was received from the di- rector of the Burritt grounds and the protest, after an investigation, found out that no agreement had been reached before the game and therefore. according to the rules of the league, gave the Burritt team the game, putting Smith and Burritt tied for last place.
 The game that will decide the league will be played Friday after noon at the park between the Wash ington team and the Boys club. Should the Washington team win, the league will be over with Wash ington as champions, but if the team loses and Paradise Park beats Bur ritt on the same day. Washington and Paradise Park will be tied and will have to play off the game the same as last year.
