The National league pennant race
is fast becoming chase with seven
clubs vainly trying to match strides
with Bill McKechnie's rampaging
st. Louis Cardinals.
Old Pete Alexander took his an
cient right arm to the mound at
Cincinnati yesterday and pitched
the Cards to I to victory over
the Reds. 1t was Alexis third tri-
umph over Jack Hendricks men in
eight days. The veteran was hit hard
in the early innings, but some heavy
artillery work by his teammates
later saved the day and enable the
Cards to lengthen their advantage
over the field TO five and a half
games. The Reds. on the other
hand, dropped INTO fourth place.
Getting to Remy kremer for six
runs in the third inning, the Cubs
halted the onrushing Pittsburgh Pr
rates at Chicago, 5 to !. For the sec
ond day in succession Hack Wilson
and Gabby Hartnett hit home runs
Art Nehf held the Corsair sluggers
in check and although he granted
an even dozen hits, Although the
standing shows the Cubs and New
York Giants tied for second place,
McCarthy's men actually are entitled
TO the runnerup position. The Cubs
average is two tenths of a point over
.552 and the Giants just that much
under that figure.
The Giants lost further ground by
taking a two TO nothing beating
from Jess Petty and the Brooklyn
Robins. Backed by superlative field
ing Petty kept the Giants in suhjec-
ton from start to finish. allowing
ed we'll for McGraw but was the
victim of punched hits and some er-
ratio fielding, some of the latter by
himself.
The New York Yankees stretched
their margin over the American
league field to eight and half
games by taking the measure Of the
Boston Red Sox, 4 TO 0. George Pip
gras turning in three hit perform

Cobb's three hits, one triple. failed

tiyeness.
George Grant was in rare form
and the Cleveland Indians evened
the series with the Browns at st.
Louis to 2. Grant gave up only
six hits but was in difficulty few
times because of his generosity in
issuing free tickets to first base.
