BY BERBERT w. BARKER
Associated Press Sports Writer

In the excitement over Connie
Mack's bold bid for the American
league pennant, the desperate battle
being -waged in John Heydler's cir
cult has been somewhat overlooked
for the past week or so.
While the Athletics and the
Yankees had an off day yesterday
before resuming their vital four
game series at the Yankee stadium,
the New York Giants inaugurated
their four-day eight-game series az
Boston BY taking both ends Of a
double-header with the Braves, and
thereby pushed themselves into the
thick of the running.
This double victory for the clan of
McGraw. combined with defeats for
St Louis and Chicago, left the Giants
only a single percentage point back
Of the Cubs and but three games re-
moved from the league-leading Car
dinals.
McGraw needed only pitchers

series. Fitzsimmons scattered the
Bravef seven hits in the opener and

Boston comrades down with three
hits in the nlghtcap and the Giants

opener, IL 10 6. with the aid Of Char
lie klcin's homerun and three sin
giles. William Watson Clark pitched
the Robins 70 victory in the closing
engagement, Z to 2.
