 The black flag Of the Pittsburgh Pirates is being securely fitted to the National league masthead. Coming down the home stretch or one of the most interesting pennant races the older circuit has eyer known, the Pirates today have a lead of four full games on their closest rivals. the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals, who are still dead locked in second place. Yesterday Done Bush's Buccaneers registered their seventh straight victory. They won a double header from the Bos- T Braves for the second time in -.dccessive days. Kremer held the Bancroft men to six hits and took the opener, e., while his mates again routed Kent Greenfield. for the second time in as many days. Johnny Miljus, Coast league product pitched the leaders to 30 triumph in the second game. He gave six scattered hits and never was in danger.
 The Giants and Cardinals battled 10 an even break again in st. Louis. l innings. on Douthits pinch homer. Terry and Bottomley also hit for the circuit. New York won the second game handily, Cantwell, a recruit, earning a 9-3 verdict over the worlds champions. A sixth in- ming Giant rally was good for seven runs. Schulte clouted a homer.
 Max Carey's home run with the bases filled in the third inning help ed Brooklyn beat the Chicago Cubs gain, 10-6. Percy Jones, the Bruins star southpaw, was the victim of a six run attack in the third. but Brill heart, who succeeded him, pitched good ball. The defeat set Joe Me Carthy's team back to six and one half games in the rear of the Pl- rates.
 Ruhe Bresslers triple in the ninth with the bases loaded and two away gave Cincinnati T-6 victory over Philadelphia. It was the eighth victory in succession for the Reds.
 The New York Yankees, with the American league pennant already in their possession. won their 9@th game of the season in scalping the Cleveland Indians. G-1. Dutch Rue iher gave seven hits and kept them scattered. Ruth and Gehrig both got singles but the contest was de No;d cf home runs.
 I,osto on's Red Soy won their third straight from the st. Louis Browns g-6. Boston pounded Stewart for three runs in the first inning and never rclirqushed the lead.
 Philadelphia rallied in the ninth [, tie the score and then won in the l-.th over the Chicago White SO%. 5-i. loN's single with the bases full produced the victory. Cobb ana Metzlcr both got three hlls,

the two stars. I'risch seeks 10 show up McGraW for sending him to St, Louis, while IiornSby is just as anxious to place President Breadon of the Cardinals in the same light.
 It's q peculiar coincidence that both Hornsby and Frisch suffered a serious handicap by losing their star running mates at short Tommy ThcNrnoN $ injury made if necessary that l'r,sCh work most of the year with a 19-yrar-old youngster. play ing his first year of professional ball, whil" for somc time, Travis Jack son was out of the New York lineup. first with an injured knee, then ap- pendicitis.
 In tho field and at the bat it has been a nip-an1 tuck affair between Frankie and Rogers all year. with Hornsby holding a slight edge going into the stretch.
 There could be no greater vindica- ton for either than 10 have their respective clubs win the National lcaguc pcnnant Next to that would be the honor of outplaying their rival.

While the four contcnders arc staging a hectic struggle for pen nant honors in the National league. two outstanding stars are also hay ing a real battle for personal pres tigc.
 The pair of athletes in question are Rogers Hornsby. brilliant second sackcr of the New York Giants, and Frankie f'risch. equally sensational at the same position for the St Louis Cardinals.
 Hornsby and Frisch are the best Of friends. There is no personal ill- feeling back of tn" efforts that each is making 10 outdo the other. Tn" reason dates back to the highcr-ups Of th" two teams.
 Last year, tIornsbv. as manager Of the Cardinals, gave St. Louis it's grst major league pennant and world championship. He was the town hero. Hornshy had not only played great ball but did fin" job of managing 10 win. He came in for much credit for jh" Cardinals vic tory and deGcrvcdly so.

New York.

 With 2 reyampcd lineup tho in Naders strONe 10 atone for their 13-3 defeat in the first match For the last seven chukkers they matched goal for goal with the veteran Yankees, and il was only because Of a first period ealyo of three goals by Tom my Hitchcock. the brilliant Ameri- can forward. that the defenders were able to couclud" the series without tn" necessity of q third game.
 llitchcoc1<'s whirlwind start was just pir too much for the British tp offset, but in the face of pow "rful American defense they carried the attack throughout the last half of the match. once in the seventh chukker they were within two goals of tying the score. That was the high water mark Of their bid, Capt. John Dcning emerging from scrimmage and sweeping the ball through q cluster Of players for a difficult goal.
 As in the opening match the Brit iSh were out-ridGcn. but the margin was far sighted this time.
