PIRATES AND CARDINALS
IN SECOND PLACE TIE
Pittsburgh Unable to Match Speed Of Chicago Cubs
Buccaneers Lose II Inning Struggle to st. Louis
Boston Braves Hammer Out Victory Over the
Phillies - Giants Nose Out Brooklyn - Athletics
Beat Red Sox-Detrot Downs Browns.

BY the Associated Press.
Pittsburgh's baseball situation had
a grave aspect today.
Unable to match the speed of the
tenacious Chicago Cubs, the Pirates
have fallen into tie with the St
Louis Cardinals for second place.
Considered by many critics to haye
the potential strength Of cham
pionship outfit, the Buccaneers ap-
pear to be skidding out of the race.
Yesterday they Travelled IL strenuous
innings against the st. Louis team
and lost 2-1 decision. Sunny jim
Bottomley's home run ended the con-
test just as it did the day before.
Carmen Hill, ace of the Pirate hurl-
ing staff, granted only six hits, but
Jess Haines allowed only four.
The Cubs had five game lead
over the second place teams today.
The first three teams have played
the same number of games.
Boston's Braves hammered out a
1926 victory over Philadelphia. Scott
of the Phils and Robertson of the
Braves finished the game in the box,
although 90 safe hits were recorded.
Manager Dave Bancroft of Boston
benched himself, sent Eddie Farrell
to short and place Gautreau at sec
ond. Every Boston player with the
exception of Wclch made at least one
hit and one run.
Brooklyn's defense blew sky high
In the eighth inning and the Giants
were allowed to come from behind
with five run squirt, and another
run in the ninth to tie the score,
and win in the tenth on Babe Her
mans muff of q low throw. Roger
Hornsby's homer was a big factor,
however, in New York's rs victory.
The Giant second baseman knocked
the ball out of the diamond In the
eighth with the bases full and two
down. It was his 18th circuit smash
of the year. The New York victory
put the team three games out Of sec
ond place.

out of the box in the eighth with

The Falcons hold the major In
terest of the baseball fans OF this
city in the home baseball games to
be played tomorrow. The team is
scheduled to meet the Providence
| Collegians at st. Mary's field at
o'clock. The Collegians have an i'm
pressive record OF wins for the pres
| ent season and hackers of the team
confidently expect to add the Fall
cons tomorrow.
The team will line up as follows:
| Murphy c. Bradley or Kennedy p.
Duffy 1b. Doyle 2b. Norton IS. Allen
3b, O'Brien If, Cummings CT and
| OHara IF. These men are all. ex-
cept O'Hara, graduates Of Provi-

members of the varsity baseball
team that defeated the Providence
Eastern League club, Yale univer-
sity and Boston College.
The Falcons will use their same
| regular lineup and every effort will
| be made to win the game. Ber-
geron will probably receive the
pitching assignment. The game will
start promptly at 3 o'clock and
Herbie sautter will hold the indica-
| tor.
Pirates VS.. Waterfowl
The Pirates will engage tomorrow
| in a Western Connecticut league
game with the WATERFOWL team at
Willow Brook park. The Pirates, at
present lead the league, and the
players hope to stay there until the
finish of the season. The Watertown
crew is anxious to dump the Pirates
from their lofty perch and for that
reason, the strongest team possible
will be sent into the fray.
| Carlson or Williams will be NOM
mated for the pitching duties to-
morrow afternoon as both are in ex-
cellent condition. The game will
start promptly at o'clock and Jim
Havlick will umpire.
Red Sox VS.. Pextos
The Corbin Red Sox will invade
Southington tomorrow to meet the
fast Pexto team in a Central league

tory over Johnny Tobin's crew this
year and tomorrow's clash will be
a humdinger from start to finish.
| The Southington team will use
either Ahearn or Miller in the game
while Walter Berg will probably
draw the assignment for the locals
Berg is in wonderful shape having
taken things easy during the past
week and he is raring to get going
against the Southington team.
Ray Begley, Eddie Ziegler and
Frank Sheehan, three New Britain
baseball stars, will be in uniform for
the game tomorrow. The contest

forth during the battle. Both teams
went on batting sprees and up to
the last frame. either team seemed a
likely winner. The Washington team
went into the ninth with three
run lead but Willow Brook rallied
again to tie the score.

Capodice's wildness in the first in
ming and two runs scampered across
the plate. Folden was safe on Capo-
dice's wild throw on a third strike.

half Of the frame. Labienic walked,
stole second and scored on Skoniecz-
ny's single over second. In the third
the Washingtons got to Linehan and
scored four, going into the lead.
Then the lead changed hands al
most every inning right up to the
NINTH the winner was uncertain.
Washington seemed sure to win with
its three-run lead but the infield
went to pieces and Willow rBook
tied it up.
The real fireworks came In the
eleventh when Kaczynski reached
first or an infield error. Capodice
then slammed his triple to win his
own game. Skonieczny with his five
hits was the big noise for the win
ners while Schubert did some heavy
hitting for the Willow Brook. La

winners In the last few innings. The

Smiths Win Game
The Burritt team was showed I'M
der on Diamond No. 2 by the Smith
crew by the score of 20 to 6. The
Smith batters had a field day at
the expense Of Nichisu and E. Kali
kowski, twirlers for the Burritts
and they slammed out a total of
20 hits for % runs.
Hit after hit went out into the
Burritt outfield that should have
been putouts and it certainly wasn't
the fault of the pitchers that the
Smith team was able to run wild
and score SO many counters. Nichisti
tried hard and was pitching nicely
but his support crumpled. E. Kali
kowski who succeeded him in the
sixth inning, also turned in good
work but the blunders of his mates
put him in many bad holes. The
Burritt team had a total OF 10 er-
rors, every one Of them costly.
The Smith team gave Anderson
good support and played champion
ship baseball. The infield worked to
perfection and the players got many
hits that seemed on the way to safe
territory.
The winners scored in every in
ming except the first. They scored
seven counters in the seventh
frame, this being their biggest in
ming. The Burritts staged great
rally in the third inning that gave
them a short-lived lead. They got
in four runs while scoring only one
lit. Two more We're brought in in
the eighth, but these might never
have been scored so far away did
the team come from tying the
score.
Thomey at second base featured
