.SPEEDBOYS UPSET
 BURRITTS BY 3-l
League Leaders Meet First De- feat-Helpless Before PungratZ
City League Standing

The hard-hitting Burritts found themselves helpless before the left handed shoots of Pungratz last night and went down before the Speed boys, 3-1, in the most sensational upset in the City league season. After having taken all the other teams in the league by large mar gins the Burritts bowed to the tail enders and fell back into a tie for first place with the Pirates, creating much greater anxiety as to the out come of the league. The game brought the first round to a close and next Saturday the teams will begin all over again.
 Pungratz had the Burritt batters helpless, allowing only three safe- ties, and would have scored a shut out had he not lost control in the sixth inning and forced in a run. Rose also pitched we'll and improved as the game progressed, but he was not as effective in the pinches and allowed the Speedboys to bunch their bingles.
 The crowd had loked for slaugh- ter of the Speedboys, but it quickly was apprised of the fact that this would not come to pass. for the Bur ritts as we'll as their opponents went out in order in the first two innings and in the third the Speedboys scored. "Gingin" Levin opened with a triple to right and scored when Luke smacked a cingle to the same field. Again the Burritts went out in one-two-three order, and then F. Von Deck was safe on Klepacki's wild throw. He went to second on a fielder's choice and scored when Dalkowski fumbled Pungratz's grounder.
 The Burritts made their only score in the sixth. Jarnot led off with a single, the only clean hit made by the Burritts, and was fore ed across the plate when Pungratz had a wild streak and walked three batters. The Speedboys got the run back imemdiately, Savage singing, stealing second, and scoring when Klepacki let Levin's short fly drop safely. Darkness forced the calling of the game after the Burritts haa batted in the seventh.
 The features were Roses striking out of nine batters, Levin's triple, and a fine running catch by Gaida oi Savage's long smash to left center in tbe second inning. The box score;

ANOTHER SEVEN WEEKS AND SEASON WILL CLOSE
Standing Changes Little in Struggles - Pittsburgh Drops Brooklyn-C Cincinnati and Philadelphia Split Twin BilI-Giants Trim Cubs-Braves Blank St.. Louis-Yanks Win Again-Cleveland Beats Sena- tors-Athletics and Red Sox Victors
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 Five weeks of struggle in the major baseball leagues have failed to change the standing to any great extent and another seven weeks will send the end of the season.
 The New York Yankees are run ming far ahead of the field while the Pirates appear to have rounded into the stretch with terrific rush. three games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals and four ahead of Cin- cinnati. Beaten eight straight times, the Brooklyn Dodgers are being tramped in the wild dash for the wire, the Giants having galloped over them to lock with the Chicago Cubs in fourth place brush.
 Pittsburgh dropped Brooklyn yes- terday, to 3, Ray Kremer's steady pitching being ably supported by his mates at the plate, who clinched the contest with five runs in the sixth inning. Jess Petty was the vic tim of weird exhibition by the Brooklyn infleld.
 Cincinnati could gain no better than an even break from Philadel- phia, losing the first by to 4 and winning the second, 10 to 5. Pete Donohue called it day after allow ing five safeties and putting out two men, the enemy ammassing seven runs in the opening frame of the pn1ch and Pnhn Bressler held a slugging attack that accounted for the cecond contest.
 Kent Greenfield allowed the Cubs only five hits and won for the Giants, 4 to 3. The hitting of Travis Jackson, Giant shortstop, featured the contest. his record showing a home run, two doubles and a single. Freddie Lindstrom of the Giants also had a homer.
 Larry Benton pitched the Boston Braves third consecutive shutout, setting down St. Louis, 5 to 0. He granted only five safeties, two of them doubles.
 The Yankees resumed winning stride along with Babe Ruth's S6th home run of the year and defeated Detroit, to 8. there being no Lil Stoners or Earl Whitehills to stop them. Their margin for Sad Sam Jones should have been much great CT but Mark Koenig muffed an easy fly for the third out in the ninth and four runs followed the error.
 Iris Speaker did his best to keep his Cleveland Indians in the race by driving out circuit blow with two on in the fourth, Cleevland wining from Washington eventually, 7 to 5.
 Al Simons also recorded a round trip smash which gave Philadelphia a ? to 1 victory over Chicago. It was his 18th circuit punch of the year and came in the second inning with a mate on base. The Sox garnered four hits off Rube Walberg.
 Sixteen hits by the Boston Red Sox gave Bryan Harris a to , de- cision over the Browns. Emory Rig ney, Boston shortstop, tripled for the winning runs in the eighth.

JUNIOR TENNIS
Seeded Players Who Won Opening Matches Find Tougher Going Against Other Entrants.

Chicago, Aug. 10 P-Seeded players who swept through their opening matches in the national jun for and boys tennis championships found heavier going today against other entrants emerging from yes terday's fast first and second-round play.
 The honors among the younger generation of net stars remained fairly evenly divided among the sec tional representatives as they stroked into the more decisive matches.
 In the junior division there were already hints of a title battle be- tween Berkeley Bell of Austin, Tex seeded number one, and John Doeg, Santa Monica, Cal, seeded second and several times victor over Bell in play this spring. Both showed fine form in their initial sets.
