ing the smashing drive of 1925,
which lifted them from pit to
pinnacle, the Pirates once more
have brought off a mighty push
from an eighth place getaway to
pound loudly at the portals of
National League leadership.
In second place, after a sensa-
tiOnal squirt, which yesterday dis
lodged the Chicago Cubs, the Pr

games behind the leading Cincin-

total to 80 for three games. Wally
P.pp replied to the assault with a
counter attack of four hits, but

overwhelming vote in favor of the
tail enders, 2 to 5.
The Giants restored their per-
eentage mark to 300 by another
triumph over the Phillies, 10 to 5,
their fourth of the FIVE game series.
The result gave the standing an
other shakeup, pushing McGraw's
team past the Cardinals to tie
Brooklyn for fourth place, and
placing the seventh-place Quak-
