Thanks to Del Bissonette and the
Brooklyn Dodgers. the National
league pennant race has not yet de-
veloped into a runaway affair with
the st. Louis Cardinals doing the
running and the rest Of the field
painting along a city block or two to
the rear.
The Dodgers in general and M'sieu
Bissonette in particular contrived to
upset the league leaders yesterday
for the second successive day, 8 to 1,
and the New York Giants, defeating
Cincinnati again, moved up to with
in four and half games Of the Car
dinals.
Bissonette Is Responsible
Bissonette has been irresponsible for
most Of the misery Of Cardinal
pitchers the last two days. On Sat-
urday his home run and triple were
the blows that spelled defeat for the
leaders. Yesterday the slugging
first baseman doubled in the third
to score the first run against Clar-
ence Mitchell, the aged pitcher.
whose left handed spitball offerings
usally are too much for most clubs.
Del followed this achievement with
a single in the ninth that accounted
for another tally. He didn't have
anything to do with the other
Dodger run which was scored in the
sixth when Clarence passed one man
and then made mistake by letting
two men hit safely. While the care
free Robins were dashing madly
about the bases, the Cardinal were
pitched into almost complete sub
mission by Doug McWeeney.
Fitzsimmons Wins Game
Freddy Fitzsimmons won his own
game at Cincinanti when he doubled
in the eighth inning, scoring Mel OFT
with the run that gave the Giants q
2 to l victory over the Reds. Fitx
and Red Lucas tangled in Z tieht
hurting duel in which each team
made only six hits. Fitzsimmons'
game-winning hit came after Lucas
had singled in the sixth to score Al
len with the tying run. Charlie
Dresser handled seven assists at
third base for the Reds.
Taking over the Phils, 6 to 3. for
their sixth straight victory the Chi
cago Cubs chung to their third place
post, two percentage points back of
the Giants. Bush was hit hard but
lasted until the ninth. With two out
and two runs in Percy Jones entered
the box to retire the side.
Ruth, Gehrig Clout
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrie made
It So home runs for the year as the
New York Yankees captured hath
ends Of a double header with the
Cleveland Indians, 3 to o, and 6 to /.
Herb Pennock ran his string Of con-
secutive scoreless innings to 26 in
the first encounter and his single IN
the sixth drove in two Of the three
Yankee runs. Ruth hammered ont
his 34th homer of the year in the
first inning Of the niehtcap And
Gehrig got his 10th in the fifth.
Ruth now stands Is games, IS
days and four home runs ahead Of
his 1927 record. Nyle Thomas. mak-
ing his first start Of the year for the
Yankees, got credit for the win al
though he was driven out Of the boz
IN the eighth inning when the IN
dams scored three runs, Joe Sewell
hitting q homer with one on.
The st. Louis Browns found
Washington q stubborn foe but re
Senator's finally yielded in the 18th
inning when the Browns pushed
across two runs and won. & TO
