liant home stand of the Pittsburgh
Pirates and the downfall of the YAM
KEGS in their own territory provided the
highlights, of the fifth general inter-
sectional series in the major leagues,
which ended yesterday.

the Pirates led the Western clubs to
an overwhelming triumph over the
Eastern invaders. The WeSterners
scored 81 victories. while the Eastern
clubs won but 20 games. The Cardinals.
winning 6 games and losing the same
number. had the worst record of the
home clubs. while not one Of the in
vaders won as many games as they lost.
In the American League the Eastern
clubs. playing on their home grounds,
outscored the Westerners by the mar
row margin of games. winning 81 and
losing o. The failure of the Yankees
to live up to their previous record was
mainly responsible. The Yanks won
games and dropped 8 at the stadium.
In two previous home stands the New
Workers had won "a games and lost z.
Among the invaders the st. Louis
Browns had the best record, winning
0 and losing s. The Athletics again

T%HE pennant frenzy continues to
feature the major league races.
In tie American League only
/ the Yankees and the Athletics
can produce credentials TO first
line recognition, but the National League
shows five clubs full of flag fervor.
A carload of theories has appeared IN
the last two weeks, following the failure
of the Giants and Cardinals to hold the
lead more steadfastly, after each club
had been out In front.
At this time 1t is apparent that noin-
ing can be wrong with the morale OF
the Cardinals. After the McGrawnen
lambasted them into three successive
defeats, the supposedly disconsolate st.
Louis crew nose,, themselves back into
first place with vengeance, while the
Giants were having more than their
share OF tough luck at Pittsburgh and
Brooklyn.
We should give credit to the Cardinals
for their recuperative powers. A club
OF that type Is never whipped, After
ALL 1t is tight pitching plus the ability
to make. base hits and runs which
builds UP the morale of ball club.
